The critics like to say it is all vibes. The vibes really matter when you see empathy and humanity rooted in something he has long supported
The Prime Minister presented a special recognition award at the Pride of Britain Awards to honour the founders of Andy’s Man Club, Elaine and Luke.
In 2016, Andy Roberts, Elaine’s son and Luke’s brother-in-law, tragically took his own life at just 23 years old. The pair went on to create Andy's Man Club, a male suicide prevention charity that has grown from a single group in Halifax to more than 360 groups nationwide.
Through its mission to break the stigma around men’s mental health, Andy’s Man Club has saved thousands of lives and inspired men to speak up when they need help 🤝

Such patriot, wow. Can’t even correctly name the place she is literally stood in. Incredibly thick-headed.
We’re manning the stand today in Waltham Forest speaking to the general public about @RestoreBritain.
What pisses me off the most about @SuellaBraverman and her Reform colleagues is the absolute disdain they have for anyone who dares look them in the eye and call them out - as @OliDugmore did so brilliantly on #BBCQT
Gonna be a banging Netflix comedy drama about this Fairfield business if it does turn out to be fuel thieves. Minor criminals cause civil war and the wrath of Trump.

I have a theory.
Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne are not stupid. When they each announced £36m donations to Reform, they will have known about the already published proposals that could make those donations impermissible once the legislation takes effect retrospectively.
So what if Reform was never expected to keep the £72m?
What if the point was to make two deliberately unprecedented donations, wait for the Government’s pre-existing rules to catch them, then scream “corruption” and claim the establishment had changed the law to stop Reform?
It would manufacture exactly the phoney conspiracy and outrage Reform thrives on, just on an unprecedented scale.
Maybe the extraordinary size of the donations wasn’t incidental. Maybe it was the entire point?
At this stage, probably for the best tbh.
Imagine if it was a “patriot” who’d stood up and protested at the Labour Party conference, and got assaulted like this. Do you think Jenrick would be saying “boo hoo” then? Of course not.
"Oh, boo hoo."
Reform UK Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick tells a protester who appeared to have been hit by members at the party's conference to "get a life".

This is one of the most spectacularly bad interviews I’ve ever seen. At least one of the others is also Laila Cunningham. Has she had any media training..? I’ll do it for £4.9m.
“I haven’t had time to watch the whole documentary”
“What?”
Matt Chorley quizzes Reform UK’s Laila Cunningham on what the party’s official response is to allegations broadcast by Channel 4 News that the party plotted to break electoral law

What is the charge? Having a lunch? A succulent oyster champagne lunch?
Robert Jenrick says Nigel Farage’s “sole involvement” in the donation investigation was to “have lunch.”
“You can't criticise a leader for saying thank you over lunch to someone … being polite is not a crime these days.”

The last genuinely great train still in service. I’m sure spotter twitter will correct me but I can’t think of anything comparable to the 225/MK4 now. Would always time my London/Leeds journey to catch this 🤓

So it’s Dark Cherry vs. Sky Blue for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max
Personally, I’m leaning more towards Dark Cherry. It feels like the perfect successor to the Cosmic Orange on the iPhone 17 Pro, but with a much more premium look.
And honestly… Dark Cherry could easily be the iPhone 18 Pro’s “color of the year.” 👀

The sad thing about Channel 4’s revelations on Reform funding is that their hardcore supporters simply don’t care. They wouldn’t care if Farage was caught in Leicester Square fisting goats while Lee Anderson performed a ritual sacrifice on live kittens. They just don’t care.
Curious to see how the folk who yell “traitor” at every opportunity, while simultaneously begging Trump to “save us”, react to him potentially siding with Milei over this. No doubt it’ll be Burnham’s fault.
