So pleased to hear that the hero of the LNER train stabbings has left hospital. Sincerely hope Samir (Sam) Zitouni has a full and speedy recovery.

The Green Wave continues to relentlessly roll in. Great result in Long Ashton council by-election

Starmer spokesman says that “this government was elected on a mandate to deliver secure our borders" His mandate was to smash the smuggling gangs and deliver a fair and legal means of entering the country. Not malign asylum seekers and brand all immigrants as illegal. Not a repackaging of Reform

Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Danny Kruger claims migrant men represent a disproportionate threat to women. FACT-CHECK: Reform MPs are a bigger "Per Capita" threat to women and girls than ANY minority group. #Bbcqt

Why does the right attract British people of colour.? Zia Yusuf is another. Do they embrace racist bigotry because they think it will ingratiate the "British" elite and earn them acceptance? They are wrong. They are used to mask the racism but will be dropped in heartbeat when the time is right.

Clipped from Wikipedia: "Mahmood identifies as belonging to the more socially conservative Blue Labour faction of the Labour Party." Need we know anything more. What happened to Labour rules about there not being a party within the party. Sack Mc Sweeny and remove Glasman from the party.

Anti-immigration flag shaggers in Bristol today led by the flag shagger in chief, Nick Tenconi. Met by a solid phalanx of anti-fascists and sent packing to a rendition of "So long, farewell." Tenconi dubs Bristol a "Communist run hellhole overrun by far left lunatics." Wrong! We just hate fascists

Show of hands please. How many women could lay their hands on £900,000 cash to buy their fella a house in his constituency ? Asking for a country still wanting an answer. #Farage #Frintongate

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun A timely reminder in this weeks Private Eye. Pink Floyd are 60 yrs old

Happy to see the end of police and crime commissioners, a Cameron policy it should never have seen the light of day. Just gave the saloon bar sages a chance to meddle in matters best left to professionals. As a saloon bar sage I suggest we now restructure our police by ending county lead forces.

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars" Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

The point that seems to go missing in all the brew ha ha about benefits is that it isn't money wasted. If you give money to impoverished people they spend it. The money comes back into the system via VAT and jobs. Give money to the rich and they just squirrel it away, removing it from circulation

Watched BBC News last night do a segment on cancer treatment in the UK. I bet it drove Sarah Pochin mad seeing all those Black and Asian surgeons who are the cutting edge of UK hospital care. Sane people are actually glad that our racial diversity allows us to avail ourselves of their care.

Constantly seeing Nigel Farage on TV drives me mad. He is only 0.00000144% of the population and is not representative of Britain.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Remembering fondly that time the BBC apologised to Jeremy Corbyn after Newsnight portrayed him as Lord Voldemort and placed his image on the set background in deepest red infront of the Kremlin. Oh wait, that apology never came. If only Corbyn had been a Nazi Paedophile, apologies all round then.

I have a dark side which can be vindictive and vengeful and I am irritated how the the bosses get to resign but workers get the sack. Davie and Turness should have received the full military treatment with the ranks assembled for the tearing off of epaulettes and buttons and the breaking of swords

Nigelov Farageski emerging from the swamp to say he has spoken to the other Kremlin asset, Donald Trump about the BBC and Trump is angry. To quote: "He said I thought you guys were allies." To which the response should have been: "You don't put tariffs on allies."

Director General and CEO of News resign from BBC. Good riddance. An opportunity to return the BBC to where it once stood at the pinnacle of the world as the most trusted news organisation. Mason, Kuenssberg and Bruce next.

Zalanski again nailing it on Sky, defending his corner with straight answers and no fudge. He is a breath of fresh air in the political vacuum. Trevor Philips, "You don't want a rise in income tax?" Zack Polanski, "No, people are tired and exhausted"

Just to reiterate my view, having studied the history of the BBC for over a quarter of a century - as well as having worked there for several years as a journalist: Robbie Gibb should have absolutely no role whatsoever in the governance of the Corporation.

Here's to hope! Thanks Vogue! www.vogue.co.uk/article/zohr...

Belgian court convicts two for EU funds misuse linked to Nigel Farage's Brexit group. Farage is surrounded by the stench of financial malpractice. One of his closest advisors is 'posh' George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster and expert in criminal money-laundering. www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

The government has STILL not cleared out the highly partisan decision-makers imposed on the BBC by the Tories. Starmer and co are so amazingly spineless and feeble. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

oh good, wonder how much more will be found out? A criminal court in Brussels on Wednesday convicted two Polish nationals – including a current European Parliament assistant – of misusing EU funds tied to political entities associated with Brexit-backer #NigelFarage www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

Six water companies have been blocked from paying bonuses to bosses over serious pollution incidents and other performance issues. A further £2.4m of performance-related executive pay was not required to be blocked, but should not be funded by customers. It's a start.

Laure Ferrari, Nigel Farage’s girlfriend, was manager of the Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe (IDDE). EU's anti-fraud office Olaf has been investigating their funding and its ties to a European Parliament alliance led by UKIP.

Most law firms inspected (86%) were potentially complicit in money laundering, regulator finds bit.ly/43b0FVM but soon it is to have responsibility for monitoring and fining rule breakers taken from it

Badenoch says it’s ridiculous to blame her Tory party for the mess the country is in, yet it was her party who delivered Austerity, Brexit, destruction , devastation & cuts after cuts! 14 YEARS OF TORIES ARE TO BLAME! #Badenoch

Tony Benn on the monarchy " … “I don't think people realise how the establishment became established. They simply stole land & property from the poor, surrounded themselves with weak minded sycophants for protection, gave themselves titles & have been wielding power ever since!” #downwiththecrown

So far Farage has been mercifully quiet on the stabbings, Guess he hasn't been able to get hold of Andrew Tait to verify his facts. How's the Clacton House going? Just asking.

Dominic Grieve’s superb response to Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament, is spot on.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Goodwin hasn't been an academic for quite some time; he's a dangerous, far right lunatic.

As it should be. Never let this faux patriot raise the matter again.

Nigel Farage is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster. @goodlawproject.bsky.social have the facts: goodlaw.social/ngjm

Farageski in parliament yesterday introducing using the 10 minute rule to introduce a bill channelling his inner Tony Hancock, asking Magna Carter, did she die in vain?
