Always great moment when one has to complete a questionnaire that doesn't make any sense. How are Poland and Hungary Eastern Europe, and Greece and Sweden Western Europe? Bonus question: My ancestors are from what is now the Czech Republic, bang in the middle of Europe. So is this East or West?

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Today's maths assignment: If a drug costs $100 now, how much will it cost after reducing its price by 1,600%?

"Nigel meets tens of thousands of people on an annual basis." Just amazing then how many of them are called Nathan Gill.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

If she does this, the gap between her policy and Farage's will narrow considerably. Retrospective legislation is the choice of tinpot dictators and intellectual vegetables. It means no-one could take Britain's word seriously.

"I have worked with Nathan Gill over a period of years and he's been terrific, he's never, ever, let me down. He's as honest as the day is long and, in the leaders' debates that have been taking place in Wales, he's performed very creditably." - Nigel Farage, 2016

These are some of the most extreme restrictions on immigration in years. We're told to see them as benign because they're less bad than Farage's far-right extremism. But they are still terrible.

If you require migrants to meet higher standards than the average Brit, whether that is in terms their language requirements, voluntary service, which isn't remotely "voluntary" if it is compulsory, or anything else then you have a system which is by definition discriminatory. One which dehumanises.

If scrapping indefinite leave to remain (ILR) entirely, as Reform would do, is racist, according to Labour, what is making ILR twice as difficult, expensive & humiliating to obtain, as Labour are doing?

What fresh hell is this? Compulsory volunteering in the community?? This is not 'drawing a clear dividing line between the government and Reform UK', this is doing exactly Reform UK's work of slowly and consistently eroding the status and acceptance of migrants in the UK.

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Just do it. Now.

Exactly.

And I always thought Donald Trump embracing "Y.M.C.A" was already funny.

A story in three parts. Nigel Farage should not be asked about anything else in upcoming interviews.

“Targeting refugees will do nothing to tackle these structural issues or improve people’s lives. It only serves as a dangerous smokescreen to scapegoat the most vulnerable and distract from the very real dangers to our society.” 👏🏻

Instead of interviewing Nigel Farage about his views on the use of paracetamol during pregnancy, what about asking him a few questions about this one here?

Just do it. Now.

No idea.

I don't think it's appropriate any longer for anyone, personally or as an organisation, to continue to have a presence on a social media platform whose owner openly calls for the dissolution of the UK parliament and urges people to "fight back or you die" because "violence is coming".

Gaddafi, Ceaușescu, Yanukovych, Saddam Hussein - spot the pattern.

And I always thought Donald Trump embracing "Y.M.C.A" was already funny.

Sheer hypocrisy from Kennedy as he derails UN declaration on non communicable chronic diseases eg diabetes , lung disease, autoimmunity instead making accusations about abortion and gender that have nothing to do with declaration.

Imagine Angela Rayner had admitted to taking pro-Russian bribes. Or Sadiq Khan to taking bribes from Saudi Arabia. Imagine the news coverage.

Don't trust Trump. We knew that before but now it has become really important.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

No idea.

Imagine Angela Rayner had admitted to taking pro-Russian bribes. Or Sadiq Khan to taking bribes from Saudi Arabia. Imagine the news coverage.

The former leader of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been convicted of taking bribes from Oleg Voloshyn to promote the interests of Putin - the leader Farage said he most admires. Here’s Farage with Voloshyn’s wife. If Gill had been a close associate of Jeremy Corbyn this might be bigger news.

“Our investigation uncovered that an elected MEP was taking payments to peddle narratives beneficial to Russian interests... This case goes to the heart of our democratic values.” — head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, Commander Dominic Murphy

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A reminder that a wise man once said that Europe was never the UK's main problem but low skills, low social mobility and low investment. Instead of blaming immigration for everything what about tackling the real issues?
