„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Donald Trump expects Ukrainians to be ‘grateful’ as he prepares a carve-up of the country with Putin.
We can’t let that happen - Starmer must work with our European allies to stop this stitch-up in its tracks.

I've been reticent about this but it's overdue:
I can see the appeal of attacking Farage over his actions in his youth.
However:
I was arguably as terrible or even worse as Farage.
The difference is: I improved and changed & he's a Putin asset.
Play the man not the ball - Angela Rayner I think.

Young Australians are bearing more and more economic burden because of our failure to index tax brackets. As Ken Henry has put it, this is an act of intergenerational bastardry. We need to index tax brackets, lessen the load on wage earners, and stop giving subsidies to fossil fuel industries.

It’s touching that this memorial wall is to become a permanent monument to those who died in the pandemic. I’d now like to see a statue of an anonymous nurse in Whitehall along the lines of the unknown soldier. A national day of remembrance wouldn’t go amiss.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

When 'The Right Honourable' (they put that bit in writing just in case we might doubt it) Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's dad arrived in this country from Kashmir in the early 1970s, did he speak English to A Level standard? Did her mum when she arrived a decade later? Where are the certificates?
