Question Time - 2026: 05/03/2026 Fiona Bruce presents an hour of topical debate from Kettering. On the panel are Stephen Doughty, James Cleverly, Shashank Joshi, George Monbiot and Annabel Denham.

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧡

This is frankly amazing. I imagine lots of coffee spluttered onto red corduroy trousers today. But maybe a title worth reading again sometime soon....?

A reminder: Matt Goodwin lost heavily in spite of an almost total lack of tactical voting, not because of it.

The combined Green/Labour vote was 66%, versus 28.7% for Reform.

If Labour and the Greens split the vote 50/50 – a total coordination fail – he'd have finished third, not second.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Amused at Trump saying β€˜We’re not dealing with Winston Churchill’ about Starmer. No, if you were dealing with Winston Churchill we’d have already have been fighting a war for two years before your lot even turned up, you scabby orange dough ball

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch i

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything β€” including launch full-scale wars β€” to distract the public.

Farage is today calling "for a change of the law to ensure millions of people never can have their vote taken away again" (the local elections)

And ALSO for a change in the law to take away the votes of almost a million current voters (Commonwealth nationals; migrants who are mostly not white)

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
