Badenoch is demanding an independent review of a whole five minutes in the Henry Nowak case! How much further could it go than the judge's paragraph 27?

One of my little theories about this year’s local elections was that the Lib Dems would end up being important in forming administrations as having experience of local government and being generally acceptable. Didn’t expect quite such a dramatic case though!

These people despise Europe. They are determined to see far right parties elected to government…an official pillar of Trump’s National Security Strategy. Vance is likely to be targeting this message at voters in Makerfield in a brazen effort to interfere with the UK’s democracy.

It's hard to convey just how monstrous the privatisation of children's care homes has become. Highly vulnerable children have been turned into cash machines, with devastating impacts on their wellbeing. Please sit down before reading this week's column.

This is appalling. Two former Police officers who weren’t anywhere near the Nowak murder are the victims of a hue and cry on social media led by Musk. They’ve had to go into hiding. All the hallmarks of far right scum spreading fake shit.

This is something the Victorians understood: that democracy is dangerously vulnerable to plutocracy, and that it needs to build defences against that. Our defences are in tatters. Rebuilding them is one of the most urgent tasks facing our politics.

We're getting close to seeing him slide right out of his chair onto the floor. Maybe he pitches forward and bonks his head on the Resolute Desk on the way too? It's going to be hilarious watching the lackeys behind him panic trying to decide if they should help or pretend they didn't see anything.

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?

Since this doesn't seem to have been noted as much as it should... A founder of Raise the Colours, the flag-obsessed ‘patriot’ group, currently faces a murder charge. RTC members were present at last night's Southampton protest, where the far right crassly sought to recruit over Nowak's murder.
