Mr Polanski, I know you have a reputation for being scrupulous about checking your facts, but you’ve missed an important detail. My contract requires me to remain on leave from the Lords, surrender my parliamentary pass and forgo all access and voting rights for the duration of my employment at Palantir. I do not, therefore, take any whip. I fear this makes me rather less useful to the whips’ office than you imply.
It is beyond ridiculous that this man is still a life peer and retains the Labour whip.

The man spent an hour watching TV with his mate to help raise some money for cancer. Maybe chill out?
'Is that a really good use of his time?' 'Raising money for a cancer charity?' The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her
At the funeral of one of the Ukrainian kids murdered by Russians this week, while the U.S. hobbled the country's defenses. Elizaveta Sorochyshyna, age 6. Relatives and friends left stuffed toys near her coffin. Elizaveta was one of three children among the 23 people killed by russians that day.

Seems a pretty fair assessment of what’s going on
Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

A man dies and Trump takes time out of his day to actively mock him, all while his family makes billions off the presidency, oil prices and grocery prices soar and he bombs schoolgirls in Iran. Is this what you voted for MAGA?

And as if to underscore my despair, the President of the United States of America has taken it upon himself to mock the boy’s death whilst stamping all over the grief and mourning of his family. @realDonaldTrump you will go down as the worst leader of any nation ever.

While Donald Trump was posting AI slop of him wrestling a tiger, Russia was ripping up the "energy ceasefire" he claimed to have agreed with Kyiv and Moscow.
Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries. We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!

This announcement is a disgrace. You know how Trump could bring down gas and diesel prices? By ending his illegal war with Iran. Instead, he's going to help fund Putin's war machine.
Today, at President Trump’s direction, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is immediately issuing a temporary general license to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market.

Yeah, how dare he defend his country against invasion and refuse to give up its sovereign territory. Who the hell does he think he is?
Trump: “Zelensky could have settled this war many times. And he chooses not to. He wants to make problems for the world...He better damn well stop.”

In other words: Donald Trump is going to try to win back US votes with cheaper gas prices before the midterm elections by enriching Putin’s war machine, so he can keep killing 1000s of Ukrainians. Dire.

The UK stands with the International Criminal Court and we stand united with our partners in strongly disagreeing with sanctions imposed on the Court. The ICC must be permitted to continue its critical work holding perpetrators of the most horrific international crimes to account.

A strong implication here that this horrific murder was committed by a migrant, and plenty of responses running with that narrative. Meanwhile the victim's white, middle class husband has been arrested. The problem is, and has always been, men.
A GP. A mother of three. Dead in her own home in Dersingham, a mile from Sandringham, while she was hosting a sleepover for her children’s friends. Police called at 2.20am. Children taken out of the house to safety. A man in his 40s arrested on suspicion of murder. She had left a previous practice to spend more time with her young family. Neighbours say she was a lovely woman. They also say this is the sort of village where you can leave the car unlocked all night and nothing happens. That Britain is gone. Not in a city centre at closing time. In a detached house backing onto the King’s estate, during a kids’ sleepover. If a family doctor is not safe in her own home in a “crime-free” Norfolk village, stop telling people the danger is somewhere else. The suspect has not been named. The investigation is at the start. None of that changes what those children were in the house for. Rest in peace, Dr Hannah Terry.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
She wasn't safe in her own home as the person accused and charged with her murder is her husband. That happens across the country, whether it be quiet villages or city centres. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This was the stand out moment from @KemiBadenoch as she rightly attacked Braverman. Powerful, personal & you could feel the genuine passion in her voice. Good for her. It’s all the more important for mainstream right wing politicians to speak out against this ugly rhetoric.
Very powerful segment in her speech as Badenoch speaks out, as she did yesterday in our interview, about Suella Braverman’s remarks on Englishness. She is clearly angry as she talks about her children. Standing ovation in the room - this the strongest moment in the hall so far

I must confess that when I was younger I expected the future to have more robot butlers and jetpacks, and less proto fascism and plague, but life is full of surprises.

*sigh* Labour are not cutting your pension. Both Reform and the Tories simply lying to the public about this. Depressing.
Labour will cut your pension. Reform UK will protect it.
