Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

He has no concept of international relations. And who is filling his head with the stupid nonsense? Or is this a ploy to really isolate the USA from it's allies in the EU and world? Is Putin putting these ideas in his head still?

Really. Just stop with the idiotic headlines and the swagger and the EUphobic chest-thumping. Brexit is a shitshow. You know it. We know it. Even Trump might know it. Pipe down. Accept that you ballsed it. And leave us to deal with the embarrassing mess you all made.

As we’re all sitting in the wreckage of what happened last time govt was fearful of Farage, Labour must wise up.
Thinking you can cajole this hideous man into not having a massive tantrum is naive in the extreme. Let him howl and do right by the rest of us.

Musk’s X is intensifying the radicalisation of the UK right. They loudly, uncritically support Trump. Johnson compares Labour with Harold Shipman. Jenrick rushes to use the Magdeburg tragedy for political ends.
They’re Musk’s useful idiots: envoys of hatred and intolerance. Incapable of integrity.

‘Betraying Brexit’
Such a moronic accusation.
What does it even mean?
Having a functioning relationship with our own continent?
Not being diplomatically incontinent?
Finding ways to collaborate and improve opportunities, travel and trade?
Great.
Brexit betrayed us
Very happy to betray it right back.

That’s not a comment on the substance of the allegation, or whether it justifies a level of attention that victims of theft/ burglary can only dream of.
But Pearson’s claim that police told her she was being investigated for a “non-crime” appears false, and was uncritically repeated by media & MPs.
