.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Erika Kirk on her husband’s killer: “That young man…on the cross our saviour said, ‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do.’ That man. That young man…I forgive him. I forgive him because that’s what Christ did. And it’s what Charlie would do.”

So much of the commentary on Palestine today without much sense of the deep history. No this is unlikely to make much or any practical difference. But you can say this is a debt which has long been owed. The UK promised a Palestinian state a century ago when the British took on the mandate.…

SUNDAY WITH LEWIS GOODALL FROM 10 @LBC The best interviews and political analysis to start your political week Sunday shows don’t have to be boring- honestly Join us

Bloody hell @lewisgoodall.com those AI episodes of @newsagents.bsky.social are incredible. My blood ran cold listening to that AI dead-relative guy

NEW: Weekend News Agents No-one can be certain how transformational AI will be:to the economy, to human psychology, to the human experience. I am absolutely certain our politicians haven’t thought about it enough or begun to properly grapple with the economic, regulatory and political implications

'Virtually the whole of American politics have been guilty of doing the same thing.' Reflecting on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, Lewis Goodall points out that both the left and the right have speculated on the motives of Charlie Kirk's assassin without waiting for all the evidence.

We might be about to find out just how supine the following institutions are about the 1st amendment 1) The media companies 2) Congress 3) The Supreme Court Likely answer? Probably (in decreasing order) very supine.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

From an advisor to Gordon Brown to MP to Secretary of State to leader to the backbenches to Energy Secretary once more - you can’t look at the last 3 decades of Labour and climate without running into Ed Miliband. Hear from the man himself about what has been and what is still to come. Register 👇

Whenever for a moment I think human beings might be rational creatures I board a train with everyone clinging around the door for dear life and not a soul down the aisles.

Event Details: 📆Sunday 28th September 🕖 17:00 - 18:00 📍 LCEF x Anacta Hub 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/2xdf4zbv

TRUMP on PUTIN: "He's let me down. He's really let me down."

🌿 Climate Consensus Past, Present and Future: Lewis Goodall in conversation with Ed Miliband MP We're delighted to announce we're hosting an In Conversation with Ed Miliband and @lewisgoodall.com at Labour Party Conference 2025, in the LCEF x Anacta Hub.

‘Trump’s playing at being a king.’ @lewisgoodall.com explains why the President views the state visit as more about the ‘photos’ than ‘policy asks’.

"We all like Starmer - I'm not sure he's being advised to the best extent." Labour MP for Stroud, Simon Opher, would like to see Keir Starmer cut ties with his Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney. @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

"Downing Street decided to hold on to Mandelson... because they were worried about embarrassing Donald Trump." Lewis Goodall, Presenter of The News Agents, on the "inopportune" timing of President Trump's second state visit to the UK. #Newsnight

A provocative and fluent closing keynote at #ipgac from @lewisgoodall.com: populist politicians understand the value of a content strategy, where incumbents are still running an old fashioned comms strategy. “Authenticity: if you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”

“A shiver should be going down the spine of every centre-right politician out there, that Robinson and Musk are coming to define the right in this country.” What is the Overton window - and why is it shifting to the right? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

NEW: Monday News Agents Why is the governemnt so afraid of taking the political fight to Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson? Listen now podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

“The Overton window moves when there are no ideas to fight the ideas moving it.” @lewisgoodall.com asked a senior gov’t minister - Peter Kyle - about Musk’s comments at Saturday’s rally. His response? It was “too silly to even talk about.”

NEW: East Wiltshire Tory MP is defecting to @reformparty_uk and will head up its efforts to “prepare for government”.

‘So you’re saying it’s the media’s fault?’ @lewisgoodall.com and Business Secretary Peter Kyle go head-to-head over the Peter Mandelson scandal.

“Does it feel like things are even darker than they were then?” @lewisgoodall.com asks Kim Leadbeater MP whether political violence has worsened since the murder of her sister Jo Cox in 2016.

@lewisgoodall.com defending facts. 🤷‍♀️ youtu.be/9ShxFx210Oc?...

Incredible zero bullshit performance from Lewis. Performance maybe isn’t the right word…. But you know what I mean.

Worth reading Lewis Goodall on Charlie Kirk.

Am on Piers Morgan tonight. Tune in.

Charlie Kirk’s murder was utterly abhorrent and corrosive to our politics. So was much of the reaction to it- including from his allies. My piece. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

"In that sense while American political violence is not new, its aim and increasing legitimisation as a mechanism of ideological struggle is. That way, the way we're going, only hell lies."

Charlie Kirk’s murder was utterly abhorrent and corrosive to our politics. So was much of the reaction to it- including from his allies. My piece. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

NEW: Keir Starmer has asked Peter Mandelson asked to withdraw as UK Ambassador to the US with immediate effect.

Charlie Kirk’s death is an appalling event. Precisely because it is so appalling, it is staggering to see senior politicians and media figures commenting at a time when we don’t have firm evidence about motive or the murderer.

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder. Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.

Norwegian 🇳🇴 votes nearly counted. Looks like reelection for the Labour Party and the red block. Remarkable comeback. The populist Progress Party has a great result and has overtaken the Conservative Party (remind you of anything?) @jonasgahrstore will be back as PM #valg2025

“You don’t want people to say what’s against the status quo!” After platforming a vaccine conspiracy theorist at their conference, @lewisgoodall.com asks Reform’s Laila Cunningham if there’s a ‘limit’ to free speech.

Asked Reform about whether it can possibly be appropriate to have a doctor spreading misinformation about vaccines and the Royal Family speaking from their conference stage. Their representative didn’t resile from it. A bit of our exchange below.

“You are supposed to be a serious party of government!” Reform’s Laila Cunningham tells @lewisgoodall.com that platforming misinformation about the Covid vaccine is okay because ‘no-one is taking it anymore.’

"It got the debate going and that's why we put him on." Reform’s Laila Cunningham explains why her party allowed a 'quack' to falsely claim that the Covid vaccines gave the King cancer.

Behold @lewisgoodall.com being an absolute legend 🤘 www.youtube.com/watch?si=Alq...

SUNDAY WITH LEWIS GOODALL @LBC LIVE FROM WASHINGTON THIS MORNING The best of UK AND US politics As Starmer resets his government and America braces for Trump’s massive raids on Chicago, join us from 10

Starmer can look decisive today because of the reshuffle. But tomorrow the dep leadership contest begins. And it will inevitably become a de facto battle for the future of the party post-Starmer, with a full on beauty contest at conference.

Two things can be true at once. Rayner was foolish in her conduct and right to resign. It’s also true she was always despised by much of the right wing press because she was a working class powerful woman.

Rayner to resign as Deputy Labour Leader, not just DPM. The real nightmare scenario for No 10. Now a Dep Leadership election incoming. Months of (unpredictable) Labour introspection and party soul searching- a Labour speciality.

NEW: Donald Trump to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War” “Restoring the name Dept of War will sharpen the focus of the Dept on our national interest and signal to adversaries America’s readiness to wage war to defend its interests.”

An Oasis in New Jersey

In Vegas, the opioid crisis has become so bad that addicts are living in the city’s flood tunnels. 12yr olds are ODing after being dealt fentanyl on instagram. And there’s evidence the worst of these opioids have arrived in the UK. Watch our special News Agents report. youtu.be/EAs0MAwzG3w?...

Polling from @Moreincommon_ on Lucy Connolly More than half think her sentence was too lenient or about right. Only a third that it was too harsh. Only 18% think politicians should associate themselves her, while 51% think they should actively distance themselves from her.
