What does Tom Swarbrick stand for? Mr Flip Flop sway’s all over the place and doesn’t commit to principles that makes him a genuine and authentic radio presenter. Is it all about the money?

Will Shelagh Fogarty be bold and condemn & Nigel Farage as Anti-Semitic?Or will she come across relaxed and sympathetic like Rory Stewart did yesterday on @lbc.co.uk which was an utter disgrace! #PMQs #LBC. Racism will always separate human-beings from human trash/animals. #PoliticsToday @lbc.co.uk

Why has Shelagh Fogarty been so quiet on @lbc.co.uk regarding Nigel Farage’s Racist and Antisemitism behaviour at Dulwich College? By being so quiet & not calling it out LOUDLY is she appeasing this type of behaviour by shrugging it off as some have said “this happened a long time ago” #LBC #PMQS

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
Reform UK’s Lee Anderson wants to bring back the ‘invalid carriage’.

The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire.

My apologies to Katie Lam, who should be front & centre here…
Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

I made this video 4 days ago.

As of today, Elfashir has completely run out of food, and the earthen barriers RSF have been building around the city are now complete.

Oh, and RSF drones struck a town in Khartoum State and another in Northern State.

In case anyone gaf.

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.'
We need more Bertrands.

I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

UK inflation stays at 3.8% as food price rises slow for first time since March – business live
Gold rises after biggest sell-off in five years Some economists are saying this is probably the peak in inflation. What does this mean for interest rates? Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: CPI inflation was lower than feared in September, as it stayed at 3.8% rather than rising to 4.0% or above. We doubt this will prompt the Bank of England to cut interest rates from 4% in November. But it increases the chances of the next cut happening by February in line with our forecast and it supports our view that interest rates will be reduced to 3% next year. What’s more, this will probably be the peak in inflation. Our forecast is for CPI inflation to fall to 3.5% or below in October, not least due to the declines in utility and fuel prices that we already know about. Food price inflation may yet rise further, perhaps back above 5.0% by December, but there are… good reasons to expect it to fall back next year. It’s possible the chancellor will add to that trend in the budget on 26 November, either by reducing inflation directly (cutting VAT on utilities from 5% to 0% would trim CPI inflation by 0.2ppts) or indirectly as higher taxes chip away at economic activity.

Why does a human-being develop racism? Does hate begin in what is reflected in the mirror? Because if you analyse #racism it’s like hating your neighbour because he or she drives a Ferrari & the hater n/d drives a Skoda. The moral of this story is #jealousy

JD Vance has come to the defense of young Republican leaders who are under scrutiny after Politico published “hundreds of racist and hateful messages” from what it reported was their private group chat.
Vance says young Republicans accused of racism shouldn't have their lives 'ruined'
The vice president contrasted offensive remarks in a private group chat with texts from a Democratic candidate in Virginia who had suggested a top Republican be killed.

#Gaza looks like Israel drop a nuclear bomb on its habitants. They destroyed a hole City in two years in the 21st Century, & massacred over 65.000 people including innocent men,women,children,babies & the unborn.

The return of the Israeli hostages & the signing of the Peace Plan in Egypt yesterday, the fact that Trump has committed to the reconstruction of #Gaza without announcing a #Palestine State looks like he will personally benefit from the death of 1200 Jews & 70.000 dead Palestinians. #PMQs #LBC #MAGA

President Donald Trump and regional world leaders signed a Gaza ceasefire deal during a summit in Egypt. It is unclear exactly what was in the document that the leaders signed. CNN's Becky Anderson reports on what we know about the agreement.
