Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:

It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.

We must protect jury trials.

@reform-uk-official.bsky.social As chief Spokesnonce for Reform UK, the Nonce Party For Massive Sweaty Nonces, could you give me a figure for how much you will spend on Nonce Pimping the UK flag for political purposes & why you refuse to spend that enormous amount of cash on real important issues?

They're already doing it at the County level, selling off artwork owned by Kent County Council.

@lbc.co.uk reporting that Shabana Mahmood wants to trial giving each failed asylum seeker Β£10k to leave within 7 days, so up to Β£40k/family. Funny how the BNP offered much the same as their 2010 election pledge... Labour going full fash was not on my scorecard for 2026. ... shorturl.at/yea0O 1/

Not so. I'm not sure about the US, but in the UK and some other jurisdictions, preemptive self-defence IS legal, provided you genuinely and reasonably believe that you are about to be attacked.

If winning is so easy, why didn't they do it in Iraq or Afghanistan?

So Trump starts a war he can't win and then runs away, leaving everyone else to suffer?
