I'm beginning to think that Pete Hegseth is a bit unstable.

Always thought that Farage had an air of Private Walker from Dad's Army about him.

"You boy! Is Matt Goodwin still banging on about the by election in Gorton & Denton being stolen?"

No chance at all that Trump's inner circle and buddies were tipped off about what was heading Iran's direction on Saturday, and sold their positions on Friday.

More people in the room than for all the combined cinema screenings of "Melania."

I thought that losing gracefully was one of those "British Values" that Goodwin and co keep banging on about.

We can't blame Morgan McSweeney for this anymore. Useless, with a vindictive edge, is obviously who Keir Starmer and his government are.

We were all pointing the finger at Morgan McSweeney when trying to understand the Labour government becoming Reform- Lite, perhaps it was Keir Starmer all along?

Will be interesting to see if Richard "Dubai Dicky" Tice MP turns up for PMQ's on Wednesday.

Anybody remember this? Obviously designed as a trap for any incoming Labour government. Osborne's time as Chancellor does seem to avoid even the same level of evaluation that David Cameron has received.

Still struggling to comprehend why Starmer chucked away a parliamentary seat for the sole purpose of seeing off a, perceived, leadership rival. Andy Burnham would surely have won this.

Farage will pivot effortless on to his next topic (ECHR for example), Starmer won't as he's far too leaden footed in comparison.

Lord Glasman's not appeared on TV or radio yet this morning, problem with his phone? #r4today

To be fair to Zahawi, he was probably traumatised after catching sight of a "tired looking man" while taking the steps from the door of his town house to the chauffeured car. #r4today

Daughter of a Baronet, step daughter of a Viscount and David Cameron's sister in law. These people always fail upwards, never any consequences.

You're assuming that he was campaigning for Labour...

Surprised that he didn't bump into BBC reporters on their usual "let's conduct 10am weekday open air market vox pops" mission.

Everything you need to know after protests on streets of Manchester Far-right political party Britain First descended on the city centre

Would think that this is the talent pool that Reform are going to recruit their UK version of ICE from.

I would argue that Cameron laid the path to Brexit with his austerity program, his ill thought out and botched referendum then created the political chaos that left the door open for Johnson and Truss.
