“How dare he say we weren’t on the frontline, how dare he?”
Labour’s Emily Thornberry says Donald Trump’s claim European soldiers in Afghanistan avoided the frontlines was an “absolute insult”, and is “proud” the UK helped stand up to him over Greenland
Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’:
"Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

Incredibly brave man.
Next time a maniac commits some atrocity, remember that for every Islamic terrorist there are millions of peaceful Muslims just living a peaceful life.
Or, like this wonderful guy, risking everything to save strangers of a different religion.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.
Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.
What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.
Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more...

Ben "science isn't an exact science" Bradley, a Lego version of the Pub Landlord, who once had to apologise for suggesting the involuntary sterilisation of the poor, and said he was a fan of police violence.
Wow. They really are building a dream-team over at Reform.
That’s now 22 ex-Tory MPs in the Reform ranks.
The same names and faces that broke your public services - now under Nigel Farage’s umbrella.
Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?
Noem: We have not deported military veterans.
Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Another Brexit economic verdict arrived last month in the form of an 83-page NBER working paper - and it is devastating.
What shocks me more is how politely politics continues to look away from the person who drove the bus.
The idea that I would ever work with Tories is absurd. If you don't believe me just ask Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Danny Kruger, Andrea Jenkyns, Jonathan Gullis, Sarah Pochin, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Peter Bone...
Keep signing people, we need the government to know how strong feeling about this is!
“A petition demanding a full inquiry into Russian influence in UK politics has surged past 100,000 signatures after being shared at remarkable speed across social media.”
Just because it's reached the 100,000 threshold, doesn't mean anything will happen.
So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Sometimes the only thing left to say is “fuck right off.”
I think we as a country have reached that point when it comes to the MAGA influence operations that have wormed their way over the Atlantic.
That's quite high for a local by-election
On Nigel Farage’s speech today, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:
“The cat is well and truly out of the bag - Reform is the party of austerity...Farage wants to finish what the Tories started.
“After 14 years of cuts that gutted our schools, hospitals and councils, he’d slash even deeper."
In campaigning for the UK to quit the ECHR, Farage is continuing his collaboration in Putin's war against democracy, human rights and international law
The only European countries outside the ECHR are Russia and Belarus.
Farage is a traitor, serving a hostile foreign power.
Reform UK supporting Matt Goodwin says because we are broke taxes have to go up
Brexit costs us £40 billion a year in lost tax income from trade with the EU, this is why we are broke
If you vote for Reform you're voting for the same people who made us broke, to fix us being broke 🤷♂️ #BBCQT
The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
