This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.

The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

I hear there’s an argument going on in the UK right now about whether or not Donald Trump incited the crowds to violence around January 6th. Apparently the BBC in a documentary showed edits of his speech that misrepresented what he said.

Dominic Grieve’s response to Nigel Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament is spot on.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

On the morning of Keir Starmer's conference speech here's a new post on an odd psychopathology in British politics - our main parties don't like the people who vote for them - the dreaded Professional Managerial Class. And so they are acting out like a divorced dad seeking cooler voters. 1/n

This morning, again, it's just endless coverage of the president's "change of tone" on Russia. Which, if the past is any guide, will change again tomorrow and the day after.

We might as well analyse an angry toddler's "change of tone" towards bedtime, bathtime and whether he likes the colour green.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money.

That means Elon Musk – no government contracts for you, no energy supply license for you.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Britain can’t afford Elon’s next power trip.

Today I’ve written to the Energy Secretary urging him to block Musk’s electricity supply licence. The government should be putting the national interest first, not worrying about upsetting Elon Musk.
