Firstly, Richard Tice clutching pearls over lack of democracy is laughable. Secondly, this is hugely missed opportunity by Emma Barnett. Move on from Farage, ask about Nathan Gill. That's what we want to hear about #R4Today

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper MP 🔶

Really proud to have been part of the first ever SEStran conference in Edinburgh yesterday: the threads of connectivity, collaboration & partnership were woven expertly through the day - momentum was generated. Congratulations to the team on a really successful day! #sestranconf

Can't think of a better way to lift our festive spirits than the Festival of Christmas Trees at St Michael's Church in Linlithgow this weekend! Stunning display, the best way to spend a filthy December afternoon! #festivalofchristmastrees #stmichaels #linlithgow

Wonderful afternoon celebrating 50 golden years of the modern Deacons Court in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal in St Michael's Church. So grateful for everything the Court do for our town: Long Live The Marches! Deacon's Court #Linlithgow #deaconscourt50

Splendid solstice: celebrating the shortest day with a quiet walk in the woods, collecting our sack of fabulous festive lamb from @growwildorganics & finishing with the Service of Lessons & Carols in St Michael's Church. Definitely feeling Christmassy now! #solstice #Christmas

Andrew Cotter sounds like someone who may be questioning his life choices by commentating on this tennis 'match'. I am similarly questioning my own for watching it. Murder on the Orient Express was the other choice dammit! #BattleoftheSexes

Venezuela’s Maduro is a corrupt, vicious dictator repressing democratic opposition . But the US unilaterally capturing a foreign leader not at war breaches every canon of intl law. Justifies Putin in Ukraine/Xi in Taiwan. Might is right. Who next on what pretext? A dark moment.

Another week another illegal act from Trump and more instability in the international system. Any constituents concerned about family in Venezuela can contact the Foreign office or can contact my office on [email protected]

The ever shrewd Anthony Zurcher, the BBC’s North America correspondent, writes: ‘Trump, a sharp critic of the US invasion of Iraq, will now have to heed the words of one of the American architects of the Iraq War, Secretary of State Colin Powell, "If you break it, you own it."’

First Venezuela, next Greenland? You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness. Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

In weather that can only be described as *minging* it was still good to be out on the doors in lovely Dollar today! Definitely on the road to Holyrood now... #scotlibdems

Another day, another Dollar. Actually it's the same Dollar, just snowy today! Two pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks, one hat, one scarf & lots of soggy surveys: fun in the snow! #scotlibdems

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops. Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.
