Chris Bryant; 'I'm sorry, I find the Deputy Prime Minister(Oliver Dowden) utterly unconvincing... the idea that swift means taking 3 years to publish something... is utterly preposterous..., publish the full unexpurgated Russia report.'

Hey Strath! Build-a plane here. Just a quick update so you don’t forget about us! We’ve so much G-OLOV news to share! Suffice to say we have a new home, our test pilot is secured and first flight is just around the corner! 👏🏼 Strathallan School Strathallan Academic Aero Space Kinross

Today we remember the 16 young children and their teacher who lost their lives in the #Dunblane mass shooting tragedy 28 years ago.

The UK took action on gun licensing and, unlike in the US, no other school mass shooting has taken place since.

RIP

Yesterday, Canada shined bright at the annual #Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the #Commonwealth .

🇨🇦 Amanda Stubbs, our flag bearer from Bewdley, ON, said

'I am so proud to be from Canada, a place that represents freedom, multiculturalism, rich diversity, and so much more. The entire day was unforgettable, and I’ll be replaying it in my head for years to come.'

EXCL: The Conservative party’s biggest donor said looking at Diane Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women” and the MP “should be shot” - by ⁦Rowena Mason⁩ ⁦matthew weaver⁩ ⁦Henry Dyer⁩ theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

'We are a country where we love our neighbours' says Rishi Sunak, who previously defended his party's Deputy Chairman for telling asylum seekers to 'f*** off back to France' and his former Home Secretary for calling those who come here an 'invasion'

I missed the great Churchillian call to arms but I am guessing from the rash of “wtf was that about?” messages that a) there was no clear purpose that made sense and required a PM statement. B) He delivered it badly. C) He is vaguely hoping it will stir things up a bit. But…

Today has been an object lesson in the extent of Islamophobia on the right: Braverman, Anderson, GB News. And not a damn thing is done about it.

‘He’s given our capital city away to his mates.’
This is really appalling rhetoric.
I mean, just say it Lee: because he’s a Muslim his only ‘mates’ are going to be Muslims too.
And they’re all going to be fanatical.
This is straight Islamophobic

The most important event in British politics yesterday took place in Maryland. At CPAC Liz Truss declared war on Britain's 'deep state' - the Environment Agency, the OBR and the Judicial Appointments Committee... I kid you not... 1/ 🧵

Labour's Yvette Cooper reacts:

“This is total Tory chaos on borders and immigration. A series of Home Secretaries have sought to bury uncomfortable truths revealed by the Chief Inspector about our broken borders and shockingly they are still sitting on 15 unpublished reports.'

An unforgettable demonstration of #AirPower took place on Feb 15 in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. 3 Wing Bagotville dispatched 13 CF-18s in formation, offering a tribute to the rich history of the base as well as a show of solidarity with members of the civilian community. #RCAF100

This was Navalny yesterday - 15/2/24.

Today he just dropped dead in his mid-40s. Apparently.

A brilliant end to today’s testing with critical engine fuel flow and max RPM passed! G-OLOV is now fit for flight👏🏼 and even though she’s not quite a jumbo jet, full power engine runs are VERY impressive (yes, the inspector *has* to stand there!!) Strathallan School Aero Space Kinross

A beautiful day for our first engine licensing tests for our Strathallan School build-a-plane aircraft, G-OLOV, at Fife Airport! Aero Space Kinross

It's taken Starmer three days to sort out the Labour mess in Rochdale. It took the Tories three years to oust Boris Johnson?

Labor isn't perfect and never will be! But they are preferable to the Tories.
