God it's wearisome.

Nobody sacked him. He resigned rather than face a by-election.

This isn't about cake. It's about him lying to parliament, which isn't allowed.

He isn't banned for life. He *might* be barred from standing again cos he's shown contempt of parliament.

Whilst in Prague for a Horizons show this evening, I was allowed to wander around the magnificent Klementinum Library. There are books in here with hand written notes by Tycho Brahe! I can’t think of a more stunning example of the romance of knowledge.

Left: Victoria Atkins, 'A strong economy helps us pay for the NHS'

Right: 'UK economy is almost £140billion smaller because of Brexit'

End: Throwback to 2019 when Dr Rachel Clarke rightly observed, 'You can be pro Brexit, or you can be pro NHS, but you cannot be both'…

It looks as if there are no depths this despicable UK government won’t sink to. They shame us

Real Republicans remember:
“States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world”

Mike Johnson &
Donald J. Trump, liberate the support to Ukraine immediately !

If a pipe gets blocked in your house overnight and causes an emergency, you’d pay £75 an hour to an emergency plumber to diagnose and fix it.

If one of the arteries going to your heart gets blocked and causes an emergency overnight, the doctor that comes to fix it is paid £26…

This govt’s Brexit plan always meant food scarcity and taking us back to the Blitz Spirit of rickets and malnutrition.

An incredible interview with an American military sniper who volunteered to fight against russia as a part of the International Legion of the Ukrainian Army. He served as a sniper in the hottest directions of this war, including Avdiivka and Bakhmut.

Here is what he said:

Germany just announced it will deliver an additional Patriot system to Ukraine.

Good… still 6 to go !

Come on Greece, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands and Romania !

NEW: The composition of the ongoing Iranian attack on Israel is similar to that of strikes that Russia has repeatedly conducted against Ukraine in efforts to determine the optimal package to penetrate Western-style air- and missile defenses. 🧵(1/8)

The world has everything necessary to stop any missiles, 'Shahed' drones, and other forms of terror. It only requires the decisions that can restore true and lasting security.

Ukraine can defeat Russian terror, protect its own life and the life of the entire Europe and other…

Numerous article from the BBC on Rayner…

Including one from Kuenssberg that says:

“with the police investigating, Angela Rayner is in trouble.”

Yet zero articles on Conservative Party being fined by the Electoral Commission for underreporting donations

Why is that BBC News (UK)?

Ireland has lots of Brexit benefits but possible this 👇 is the most powerful one.

“The great Brext train wreck forecast to engulf Ireland never transpired. It morphed into a sort of manageable headache. Perhaps historians will see Brexit as final confirmation that the Republic…

What an awful world we’ve managed to make it. To live in peace seems utterly beyond us. So dreadfully sad.

There was never a good reason to demonise asylum seekers or unpick international human rights.

So not only was the attacker not Muslim - he was a white local - but the only man who was killed was a Muslim security guard who was trying to save people. Don’t let truth get in the way of stirring up hate and division.
