So JD Vance thinks if you point out that Charlie Kirk was a racist, sexist bigot you should be fired from your job but if you’re a 25 to 30-something Young Republican who praises Hitler and rape and uses the n word repeatedly you’re “just a kid” and should be forgiven. Got it

It’s hard to overstate what a disaster Boris Johnson turned out to be. It’s likely none of the present tensions would be happening in the UK if he hadn’t done this. The worst thing is, I couldn’t tell you if he did it on purpose or by accident. Either is quite possible.

This is the direct opposite of patriotism. If he has a point to make, surely he should make it in the parliament to which he has been elected?

Brilliant film. Proper journalism. The kind of thing the BBC should do. And should be ashamed that it refused to broadcast despite commissioning
This man’s story Dr Khaled Hamouda should have been out there months ago. Months. We apologise that the deaths of your daughter, wife, father, brothers, nephews and nieces were not given this audience sooner #drsunderattack Thank you @Channel4 @zeteo_news

Watched it last night. Everyone should. @GaryLineker is right that it is a mark of shame on the BBC that they refused to show it. It doesn’t just expose the attacks on the Gaza healthcare system. It reveals the era of impunity in which “strongmen” leaders believe they can operate. The BBC is one of this country’s greatest cultural assets but has truly lost its way if its leaders cannot see that this was real journalism, not propaganda, and that speaking truth to power rather than cowering in front of it is what their journalism should be about. They have some terrific reporters doing their best but sometimes it takes a film made over time to tell the whole story and it beggars belief that they have up the chance to broadcast it. Out of fear of what?
Thanks to @GaryLineker for hosting our screening of the #GazaDoctorsUnderAttack tonight with a panel of Drs and some of us who made the film. So much to say and much said watch this space. See it on @Channel4 & @zeteo_news

Today was #Brexit Referendum Day in 2016. A Check List so far ... 9 years on. The Gullible were Conned By Lies. It's okay to admit you were wrong, now.

There’s a word for the type of regime that jails lawyers for repping people you hate - and that word isn’t ’democracy’.
A future regime must properly investigate the likes of Hermer. Many lawyers work with our enemies to destroy the country and should be disbarred and/or jailed. See my blog for the lawyers in London who work with *active terrorists on the run from JSOC* in Afghan/PAK and get paid MILLIONS by the UK government to do so!!! The Cabinet Office has gone to great lengths to classify details, and keep legal cases secret, to hide the shocking truth and stop the ECHR role being exposed. With Hermer as AG, millions more of taxpayers money will be transferred to Range Rovers for lawyers in return for advancing the interests of terrorists

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY👇

English is full of “lexical gaps,” words that are implied to exist but don’t, because we borrowed a bunch of words from Latin but not other, related words. Somebody made a chart to show it↓

Best April Fool I've played in many a year: My barber, when he trims the hair above my ear, holds the flap of my ear against the side of my head. Yesterday I prepared the skin with rubber cement, so when he let go, it stayed there... (Photo by Dennis, once he'd calmed down.)

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

A reminder that Sadiq Khan won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life. Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"

If you find Twitter is a bit too musky for your taste, I recommend Blue Sky, the best alternative out there. I've joined as @martinstaylor.bsky.social

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
