Another Green crackpot. This guy needs to make his mind up whether Hamas or HCC are more important to his electors www.hampshirechronicle.co.uk/news/2606949...

Nearly forgot the anniversary of this classic. We were shocked to find out Nigel had arrived in Pompey in a Bentley rather than on the bus. He wandered around the fountain in Commercial Rd for five minutes and disappeared. Then this happened!

Green candidates Sabine Mairey and Saiqa Ali have both now been arrested www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

In today's Telegraph. My view of tumble dryers has always been that they burn money, and if I want to do that I can buy cigars. But I know that is a metropolitan liberal elite POV and hard-working families will suffer because of Miliband's latest nonsense

They’re choosing this. They try to insist it’s inescapable, but it’s not. They want to see these atrocities because it makes them feel like they’re doing something.

Believe it or not, these Zack Polanski followers are reacting to the stabbing of two Jewish men in North London.

Somebody told me once that Starmer had been a lawyer. Can't see it myself. www.barcouncil.org.uk/resource/gov...

Q: "Was it discussed with the PM that Mandelson's risks were manageable?" A: "Yes" McSweeney confirms what Robbins said happened Starmer stood up the next day after Robbins' testimony in the Commons and denied it

Quite apart from everything else getting dragged out of McSweeney here, it must be going down very well with Labour MPs that George Osborne was such a serious candidate for the Washington gig

Lot of dancing on the head of a pin about the meaning or kinds of "pressure" put on the FCDO as it if matters at the McSweeney hearing. Starmer said there wasn't ANY pressure, that is the point

The Green Party policy of subsidising fossil fuel consumption in the UK - as anywhere else in the First World - will cause enormous hardship in the Third World. These people will lie to anyone for a vote

Interesting that the first DWP Q after Hoyle's statement is on WASPI. Labour MPs have been shamelessly hypocritical about this, and none more so than Stephen Morgan. He is an embarrassment to Pompey.

streaming live sport is such a technical mess Rochdale v York tomorrow to win the league, aka greatest game in football history York sold 5,000 tickets to watch a livestream of the game in their stadium on big screens… but are asking everyone to delay celebrations because they can’t reduce the lag

The Greens and Reform are two sides of the same extremist coin. Crank parties both led by charlatans and their activist base filled with lunatics.

What a week for the Greens. Polanski doesn't think Jews in the UK are right to feel threatened, and he doesn't think Putin is a bad guy. Be clear what exactly it is you are voting for if you vote for any Green candidate in elections.

Starmer keeps saying "Let me deal with this directly", "Let me put this to bed", bluster and bullshit. "Sir Olly Robbins said...[misquotes Robbins]" "14 long years". Yawn.

Quite funny to have Labour MPs asking why Robbins didn't take legal advice. The Government gets its legal advice from Lord Hermer. What point do they think they are proving about the value of "legal advice" here?

Starmer's case yesterday was that Robbins withheld information from him. It emerges today that in fact it was Starmer ordering Robbins to withhold information from the Foreign Secretary.

The answers to those last two Qs from Carden are about the deadliest thing I've seen in politics since Howe's resignation speech

Blindingly obvious listening to Robbins that the real issue here is that Starmer has lied repeatedly to Parliament, including yesterday, and that is the issue that Starmer has to be examined on. His references to process are the things that convict him

The risks UKSV identified about Mandelson *were not* related to Epstein. So what were they? This challenges the assumptions everyone has been making about why Mandelson was an object of concern. What else is there about this that we don't know yet?

Ok, this is fucking awful and crass and foul.

Here's your Starmer Bullshit Bingo card for the afternoon. Get these liars out.

No PM who is as dishonest as Starmer can hang on. Johnson couldn't, Eden couldn't. He is going. Labour should move to Yvette Cooper or Shabana Mahmood. They will probably pick Wes "Push the woman under the train" Streeting.

The problem with this, again, is Starmer is there in Hansard in black and white on Feb 4th giving an account which disproves all this.

Not that long ago Starmer was claiming intimate knowledge of the outcome of Mandelson's vetting. PMQs Feb 4th. Sack this liar.

Buck always stops somewhere else for this sleaze-ridden, habitually dishonest PM. Labour are probably now out of the window of being able to boot him out and save themselves www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Superb visuals from the Drayton Tavern to promote the arrival of the umpteenth version of Pompey Royal brewed in my lifetime. Look foward to sampling it later

Even MPs' staff are told "If you are a victim of crime which has officially-related aspects contact the Police and quote [redacted] and it will get followed up." The idea that McSweeney either didn't know this or the Police didn't follow it up is absurd.

Opportunity to vote for Pompey in this Times poll. Site of the former Landport Liberal Club I think www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...?

Chris Parry being sacked as Reform Mayoral candidate for Hampshire will please many Reform activists who were furious he was selected in the first place. Something of a civil war broke out in the party locally over it.

Even the standfirst shows how she is stealing a living. "Fighting for the government to give hope to the most vulnerable"?! You are the secretary of state for one of our big areas of comparative advantage, you are not in a social justice brief. Do your job!

Final, ish, reminder that I am going to Portsmouth tonight to give a lecture about borders to the Royal Geographical Society, a fact I find funny in at least three different ways www.rgs.org/events/upcom...

The interior of this small rural church is one of Britain’s most remarkable Victorian artistic treasures. In the 1980s, the church was deemed structurally unsafe and this exceptionally rare and beautiful interior was almost lost to demolition. 1/10

Rather a curious choice of words by the promoters of a Bill which sanctions the killing power of the state. The logic of this Bill also reopens the way for the restoration of capital justice. If we have one, we will have the other.

Voi have basically given up serving the north of the city again

You can tell Ed M doesn't actually know, and nor do his people, how beer is made, stored and sold. Labour is killing the hospitality trade, killing brewers www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Rail travel is now so slack and slowly-timetabled that a train can leave Brighton 22 minutes late and make up 12 minutes of that by Worthing 11 miles down the track

If you are really concerned about the UK getting dragged into a war, have a word with David Lammy who has unilaterally extended NATO Art 5 protections to a country which isn't even in NATO. This is a government of morons
