Reform struggling to tell a difference between a Prime Minister on a trade visit and a party member who committed treason by accepting Russian bribes. Doesn't sound like a competent government in waiting to me.

So Reform have now signed up: - Liz Truss’s Party chairman - Liz Truss’s chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster - Liz Truss’s Home Secretary - Liz Truss’s Minister for Health Who do you think may be next?

I’m not sure mimicking Trump and signing up the worst of a bad bunch from the last Conservative government is the electoral masterstroke Reform think it is.

Anne Frank - 1943 "Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Said it before, Mahmood is one of Labour’s best performers. Direct, refreshing and action driven. #BBCLauraK

Who are they all talking about? Lindsey Graham: “A race baiting bigot.” Marco Rubio: “A con artist.” JD Vance: “The American’s Hitler” Hegseth: “All bluster, low substance - an armchair tough guy. He sought his 5 military deferments.”

It’s Saturday. Why not.

This is who ICE are bravely protecting the American public from

The confusing thing about Witkoff is that a negotiator needs to spend an equal amount of time with both parties to reach a deal. Witkoff seems to only spends time in Moscow so what deal is he hoping to reach?

Trump just told an audience in Switzerland without us, right now you'd all be speaking German. German is the main language of Switzerland.

If Farage was Prime Minister, he would make the UK the 51st State.

Very odd to focus on a Russian threat that doesn't exist in Greenland rather than one where it does in Ukraine. Why would that be?

“I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace,” says Donald Trump. The halo effect of that FIFA Peace Prize didn't last long.

For clarity, we have some this weekend who call themselves patriots cheering on a foreign leader who has economically threatened their own country because their government objects to him wanting to annex the territory of a sovereign ally. Hmmm.

Tariffs on Russia still at 0% by the way

Bravo to Starmer again for his rebuke of Trump. Enough is enough.

A result of Farage’s lies and him not being held accountable for them. The Labour government are making progress on a key issue for the public. It needs to be communicated.

How come so little coverage of the UK wind auction securing £22bn of private investment, creating 7,000+ jobs and boosting energy security with homegrown power?

Reform delivering in government latest. All 2 councils Reform will raise council tax this year despite pledging not to. These include: Worcestershire - 10% Derbyshire - 4.99% West Northamptonshire - 4.99% Kent - 3.99% Staffordshire - 3.99%

Kristi Noem: “We can't trust our government anymore.” Bash: “You are the government.” Noem: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.” 🤨🤨🤨

For a self proclaimed isolationist, he does like to interfere a lot...

Rather than shouting betrayal, why doesn’t Farage list some of the benefits of the Brexit he championed? Oh wait… because they don’t exist

Reform this morning tried to paint London as a lawless dystopia. The data does not support this. Yes, there are challenges to solve, but their fear mongering does nothing to help solve them.

Didn't they say they were going to find savings and cut council tax though?

Overall, UK net migration is sharply down. The latest ONS estimate shows long-term net migration fell to +204,000 in the year ending June 2025, a two-thirds drop from +649,000 the previous year. Very little in the media or from Reform on this…

Worth noting that no country or individual decides for Greenland and Denmark apart from Greenland and Denmark themselves

Reform delivering latest…

That FIFA Peace Prize may have been a bit premature…

Clearly Tom doesn’t follow golf… 🤦

The Telegraph now admitting the deal they campaigned for with Australia on agriculture is a disaster after saying it would be great for British farmers… No prizes for guessing who signed the deal…

Always worth remembering the New York Times went big on this whilst here Reform were given an easy ride.

Two questions. Who put Michelle Mone in the House of Lords? Who gave her company the Covid contract? Neither were good choices.

Trump just said “They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back." FACT: Venezuela is a sovereign country. No other country can have a claim to their oil, land or sovereignty.

Good news that the government have now confirmed the agreement to rejoin Erasmus – the EU’s student exchange programme. Closer relations make us stronger.

So Farage’s biggest donor who donated £9 million to Reform is financially tied to a platform that continues to carry Russian state propaganda and a Kremlin intelligence-linked influence operation. The investigation into foreign interference in UK politics can’t come soon enough.

Starmer has now ordered an investigation into foreign election interference. This is much needed and needs to look into links to all parties, but specifically how many more may have been incorporated into the Nathan Gill case and the Brexit referendum.

Crazy how many plastic patriots are coming out this morning celebrating that a foreign government has brought a lawsuit against one of Britain's oldest institutions. Do you really think they have the UK's best interests at heart?

Good performance by Shabana Mahmood who is emerging as one of the most prominent figures in the government. Very different. She talks like someone who has thought things through and is willing to defend it. Her ability to speak plainly is underrated. #bbclaurak

Very interesting stat that if confirmed, is surprising it hasn't been mentioned in the media as an achievement of the govt. There has been nearly a month of zero small boat crossings. Today would be the 28th day in a row without any crossings. The longest stretch since 2018.

Lavrov: “Russia is not going to fight Europe and we have no such thoughts” Lavrov said exactly the same thing just before Russia invaded Ukraine. This is why standing by Ukraine is so important.

In the past 100 years, no neighboring country of Russia has attacked Russia. During the same period, Russia has invaded 19 countries. Russia should have no say on the terms of a peace deal.

How come the Rayner housing story was top of the news for weeks, but the Nathan Gill story barely cut through? Which do you think is more important and a worse violation of democracy?

Remember in 2018 when Russia poisoned Sergei and Yulia Skripal, and Dawn Sturgess was killed, Farage said Britain “jumped the gun” by saying Russia was behind the attack. Last week, an independent inquiry found the evidence Russia was behind the attack to be overwhelming.

Takeaways from #bbclaurak Good youth initiative from Labour, but needs to go further. McFadden also one of the best communicators in terms of getting messages across Unclear what the Conservative vision for the UK is beyond mimicking Reform Your Party… where do you start

But we shouldn’t be supporting Ukraine so much some say as it’s nothing to do with us. If we don’t support Ukraine, Russia won’t stop there. We are stronger together.

Liz Truss due to her brief stint as PM receives a lifetime pension worth £100,000 annually and £1 million in 24 hour year round security. Funded by the taxpayer to spend all her time talking down the UK.

So called patriots begging the president to bankrupt one of Britain’s biggest and oldest national institutions. Embarrassing.

Latest Reform competence update. Labelled “a threat to public safety” by the Fire Brigades Union Since taking charge of the council, they have… Failed to sign off budgets Failed to govern and lead the fire service Not met with the Fire Service who they’re are responsible for

Farage has registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a brand ambassador for a company selling gold bars. He thinks £10 an hour minimum wage for young people may need to be lowered. Whose side do you think he is on?

Nigel Farage now says his tax cut pledges at the election were “only ever aspirations”. Hmmm…
