Reports of Dubai airport was hit with videos coming out of evacuations. I can confirm earlier there was a hit from debris, not sure if this is new.

Thursday's MIRROR: Don't let hate win #TomorrowsPapersToday

Not a good thing to see, no official word from the U.S. yet….

❌ Nigel Farage has missed EVERY meeting about regenerating his constituency of Clacton since becoming an MP. But he did find time to go and perform a publicity stunt in the Indian Ocean last week... ⚠️ A warning to those in Gorton & Denton over the kind of representation Reform UK provide.

Following the vote ‘in favour’ of assisted dying in Wales yesterday, Jersey also has its final vote on assisted dying today. While Jersey is small, the vote is of course important to its own citizens, but also to the sense of momentum for assisted dying. Expect supporters to big it up if passes.

DAILY MIRROR: Why we must stop Reform #TomorrowsPapersToday

On the substance of the press conference, hearing from six parents who lost children was deeply moving and very disturbing. I think the consensus is that something needs to be done re social media and children. The question is what: and the lesson is that rushed laws can often be bad laws.

The fairly extreme nature of the policy, and the very obvious association with what is happening under Trump in the US, is also likely to focus minds when people who don't like this sort of thing vote tactically at the next election.

Small Prophets review – Mackenzie Crook’s magical new comedy is pure, pure pleasure

Small Prophets - BBC iplayer - truly wonderful Exactly what you need in your life, even if you don't know it yet. I can predict the future. You'll see. Amazing cast; Pearce Quigley is exactly what you want, Michael Palin is what you've needed - Lauren, Sophie & Mackenzie, Jon n Paul all fab!

BBC iplayer Its beautiful, its funny, its heart warming & silly. Its just what you need. You'll relate to that one co worker, you'll smile at how familiar it is dealing with elderly parents & nosy neighbours. It'll show you there's always hope even when the world shows you the opposite.

Tell you what “Sir Jim”, when you stop being a resident of Monaco for tax purposes and actually contribute to the U.K’s schools, hospitals, and defence we will start listening to you. Oh, and stop spouting utter rubbish on migration.

🚨 WATCH: Independent MP Ayoub Khan says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him "It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham" #PMQs

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle Boos ring out for Thomas Frank. Spurs have failed to win in their last 8 games in the Premier League. Their last longer winless streak was between May-October 2008 October 2008, a run of 9 games.

My next YouTube video will be on Russian military in Arctic Maybe out tomorrow

Something compelled me to make this

THE NATIONAL: Gamble gone wrong #TomorrowsPapersToday

No Reform UK MPs turned up for today’s debate. Tomorrow I’ll post my full speech which focused on: ❌ Russian involvement in Brexit referendum ❌ Boris Johnson’s appointment of Lebedev ❌ Cryptocurrency in British politics ❌ Helping Brits identify misinformation on social media

Reform-led Worcestershire set to issue England’s largest council tax rise

Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!

Turning inward to a leadership contest now would be both wrong and counterproductive when there is still so much vital work ahead. Our focus should remain on delivering the change voters asked for, not distracting ourselves from it.

The country is rightly impatient for change and for government that serves their interests above all else. Our job is simple: stay focused, get on with the hard work of delivering instead of looking inwardly at ourselves and remember the people who we serve.

I will be sitting alongside Keir Starmer at the PLP this evening as Deputy Leader with my full support. He & I have been discussing in recent days, & before, how we need to do better to take the fight to Reform (as we are doing in Gorton & Denton) & by showing we are on the side of ordinary people.

The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform. All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

A petition has been started by assisted dying campaigner Sophie Blake - who has incurable secondary breast cancer - to stop the Lords from frustrating bills approved by MPs. Peers are currently debating the assisted dying bill at a snail’s pace. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links. But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Keir Starmer has accused the Reform UK candidate in Gorton & Denton byelection of “toxic division” after he refused to disown claim that UK-born people from minority backgrounds aren’t necessarily British.

Only Labour can defeat Reform in Gorton and Denton. A vote for the Greens or any other party risks them getting in. We are a tolerant, proud, progressive city and we don’t want their divisive brand of politics here.

"The Shoes on the Danube Promenade" is a memorial of 60 cast-iron shoes along the river’s bank in Budapest. It honours the thousands of Jewish people who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the banks of the Danube by members of the Arrow Cross Party – who collaborated with the Nazis.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Music venues and studios must not be overlooked from any review on business rates. For British artists to thrive, we must protect where music is made. Which is why I’ve signed my colleagues letter urging the Chancellor to act before rises force closures.

We must never forget. It was an honour to sign the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment. With survivors becoming fewer and frailer, the responsibility is on us and the next generation to remember the Holocaust and ensure its lessons are never lost.

Reform MPs aren't even in the chamber for the Armed Forces Bill. Because of course they're not. They've probably got a Cameo to film.

Lib Dems react: “Farage has recruited yet another Conservative minister with selective amnesia - one who complains about broken Britain while conveniently forgetting they helped break it. "Suella Braverman was so bad she was forced to resign from Liz Truss’ cabinet and got sacked by Rishi Sunak.”

"I think that everybody in the Labour Party, everybody who's a Labour MP, wants to be in that fight, wants to fight alongside all their colleagues in a fight that matters hugely to the future of our country."

Kemi Badenoch on ITV about Robert Jenrick: "Everyone watching your show will have a work colleague like this, a drama queen. It's always somebody else who's done something. They were not there at the scene of the problems. But when there's something to take credit for, they rush to the front."

Labour source explains that the party tried to contact Burnham shortly after the NEC meeting via telephone, then emailed. Party insists it did not brief media before Burnham and full NEC had been told.

Do not allow Badenock to hide these policies behind a more slick, honed PR operation. Ask her at every opportunity what plans she has for this style of paramilitary crackdown on citizens. She might be convincing some that she's standing up to the nutters, but Katie Lam remains.
