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? www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u... #R4Today

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... The country which has appointed a man who admitted taking part in the violent coup attempt on January 6 to a sensitive defence job has no business lecturing the UK about law and order

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!

THEY ARE BASTARDS

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. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

She may take a while to get going, but when she gets there, she can go mad with the best of them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bon voyage

Reform voter from Makerfield on #r4pm panel "Keir Starmer is a traitor because he prioritises other races and creeds rather than the British people". Leaving aside the illogicality I think we all know what she means by "British people". Evan Davis of course let this pass without comment or challenge

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. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Reform’s candidate in Makerfield tried his best on BBC QT, but still came across as a clueless tool. Pub-style rants and grievances no substitute for actual competence. And yet thousands will still vote for him

This is exactly who Nigel Farage is.

Welcome to Britain. A country in which an Asian-born man – Ben Habib – allies himself with racists who want to deport him, and a black man – Tony Sewell – battles against racial equity. Morning.

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.

You're gonna love this @karenferrett.bsky.social

Vote Green get Reform. They actually seem determined to deliver a Reform government.

I love how no one has the little bit of courage to tell him “sir, it looks bad when you’re drifting off on live TV” All terrified of becoming his latest fall guy 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

The Ovaltine Office

Famously the sun naffs off to another solar system for the winter, Florida-style

Fiona Bruce: You described yourself as sexist. Robert Kenyon: Allegedly. Bruce: What, you're denying that was a tweet by you? Kenyon: No

"the Black jobs"

Lt Lily Mae Fisher was the only serving female naval commando, elite athlete, geologist (& Instagrammer). All four deaths of Uk service personnel in this last week were tragic & all will be missed obviously. I just wonder what she might have gone on to do. www.instagram.com/p/DXOok1mhzM...

Reform’s Robert Kenyon already getting a pasting on Question Time Well done to the woman from audience who said ‘I’d rather be represented by a career politician than a sexist plumber’

I know he's gone a bit mad but The Public Image is a phenomenally great pop song.

Just when you think it is not possible for Republican politicians to debase themselves any further.

"Ps - I am clinically insane"

Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with the family of Henry Nowak this afternoon at 10 Downing Street.

Orbanism. Hiding behind procedure and superficial compliance while dismantling both.

The ECB will be happy that there's plenty of rain around for the next few days otherwise we'd be looking at a two day test match.

100% certain Rubio did not say “Hunter is a private citizen” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Trump’s increasingly obvious unfiltered mental instability is the true original sin that should headline EVERY news article until he’s finally out of office. The absolute truth from @playtyperguy.com in @atrupar.com's latest PN. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

An amoeba with nukes and a graphics department #R4Today

Since our political leaders and media have decided that the only reason Henry Nowak died was because the police are too woke, here are my two cents, based on what I've read of the public information 🧵

“We asked Nigel Farage for an interview, and he declined.” #Newsnight

What the fuck is going on?

🚨 215-208, House PASSES a Democratic-led resolution to end Trump’s war in Iran.

Congrats to the White House Correspondents Association on getting that dinner rescheduled.

When he finally learns about rivers it's gonna blow his tiny MIND

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?

Folks, there is something gravely wrong with the president’s health and the White House is covering it up. This man is obviously not well.

I am the son of two police officers so I admit I am hardly unbiased here but I feel like the fact British policing has been hollowed out by massive budget cuts over a decade ought to be a larger part of the discussion than "DEI"

it's almost like they get upset when Ukraine gets an advantage

an enormous and influential tract of British media has no interest in addressing the fact Nigel Farage is a far-right agitator, and that is a complete failure

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.
