Instead of talking about Rwanda, it is good to talk with Rwandans: leaders, civil servants, tech entrepreneurs, farmers.

Instead of talking about refugees and asylum seekers in Rwanda it is good to talk with those now there: from DRC or evacuated from Libya.

🧵 summary…

Prime minister of Singapore nails it.

The criticism is completely justified because it shows Labour stands for nothing - except trying to win the General Election. No vision, no ideology, no principles. It’s a big mistake and they didn’t need to do it.

I don’t like saying it but (((Dan Hodges))) is right. Keir has made a big mistake taking this Tory into the Labour Party.

Ironically, Labour people have criticised me for standing for Reform UK, yet they’ve now just accepted someone far more right-wing than me into their party.

I just knew you’d come from Yorkshire…

Call me what you like, but I still had a Full English at my breakfast meeting in one of London’s best French restaurants - and it was excellent.

My colleague’s salmon, omelette and avocado was very good too, apparently.

Highly recommend Maison Francois, Duke Street.

Think you enjoy being a killjoy.

Early evening dinner in the sun at Sheekey’s, London.

As you can see, I’m not as good at posing for a photo as Coco - I’m too busy ordering the delicious seafood.

We had something to celebrate so a special treat.

Tasty, good value (for London) snacks and drinks at Forza Wine - what’s not to like?

Oh, and brilliant staff and great views over London.

This by Tom McTague is an absolutely fascinating read. Well worth your time.

Coco promised me a surprise for Bank Holiday Monday - turned out to be a trip to Peckham…

Yes, south of the river.

A very interesting place is one way to describe it. We had fun though.

We are appalled by comments where Mothin Ali appeared to celebrate and attempt to justify October 7th. The Green Party has serious questions to answer over its utter failure of due diligence, which includes nominating Mr Ali for the role of Leeds Deputy Mayor for Police and Crime

Tavares Strachan's 'The First Supper' is a monument to the contributions of twelve Black figures from the seventeenth century to the present day.

If you’re in and central London then it’s well worth popping along to see the ‘First Supper’ sculpture by Tavares Strachan, outside the Royal Academy.

What a magnificent piece of work and a great reminder of people who’ve made massive contributions to society over the years.

Lovely lunch at Brasserie Zédel in Soho.

Great food, excellent service, big atmosphere.

I’m on GB News soon, talking about the Rwanda Plan and whether it’s beginning to work. Please do tune in if you get chance.

A bogus immigration lawyer has been jailed for seven-and-a-half years and had £700,000 of her assets seized.

Flora Mendes conned 19 victims into paying for fraudulent immigration applications with no chance of succeeding.

If you break the rules, you will face justice.

So pleased to meet Tatiana Sanchez at the @gbnews studios. I have often said, when seeing her on TV, how beautiful she is. 😍

For completeness, here's an article I wrote some weeks ago for GB News all about why and how we should take pride in flying the Union Flag.

Here, it's not behind a paywall.
