Conservatives Hate to point out the obvious

- Inflation went up under you
- Mortgages have shot up for millions under you
- Highest tax burden in history under you

And working people are paying the price - except of course non-doms such as Ashcroft who retained his non-dom status while in…

Hugh Grant has described the ‘enormous’ sum which Rupert Murdoch’s organisation has offered him to settle his claim against The Sun of illegal hacking as ‘hush money’. The company’s total bill for phone hacking cases over the last two decades is now more than £1bn.

Angela Rayner buying and selling a council house is now the subject of a police investigation. But an independent inquiry has declared that a Tory mayor flogging £120m of development land to two mates for a ton is totally legit.

‼️ There was the highest ever lead – 15 points – for Marine Le Pen’s Marine Le Pen Far Right party in the daily European Elections tracking poll by IFOP for Le Figaro and others tonight. Such a result on 9 June could be calamitous for President Emmanuel Macron 1/

Years of campaigning and determined industrial action by UCU members in Northern Ireland has led to a momentous agreement that will see:

• an 11.2% pay increase

This is a huge victory, and belongs to our courageous members.

Commons will vote again today on whether to send Afghans who served alongside British armed forces to Rwanda.

People who put their lives at risk helping UK & who UK Govt promised to help in return.

Truly, truly shameful that Tory MPs are insisting they go. Govt must rethink

Steve Peers 'I never thought Werewolves would bite MY face off...?', says woman who voted for the Werewolves Biting Faces Off party.

Jacob Rees-Mogg Would that be the unlawful Rwanda bill that your government was told was unlawful by the government lawyers you engaged to advise on its lawfulness?

The fact that one of the most brilliant legal minds of her generation agrees with almost every other legal mind and so seeks…

'The people *who* make the net work', Openreach , not 'the people that ...'
You're welcome

David Harpham Postal voting is necessary for every young person then.

'The “Get Rayner” media mood has been whipped up by party politicians, and the rest of us should have nothing to do with it. To me there’s more than a whiff both of misogyny and of class condescension...'

Over my many years as a journalist my stories have often made an impact- discussed in other media or in parliament, influenced policy . But I think this is the first occasion when one of my reports looks likely to change the law .Meirion Jones Louise Tickle Andrew Hosken

Fantastic work by Sanchia Berg. Family courts put the rights of paedophile fathers above protecting children. Insane. Now that will change. Scrutiny is the enemy of injustice. As a journalist it doesn't get better than changing an unjust law

Ros McMullen I don't believe the issue at Michaela is primarily about religious practice. It's about young people challenging K Birbalsingh's total control over their minds and actions. She can't stand it.

Whatever your thoughts about a Mayor in the Brussels region shutting down an event full of far right goons, it’s important to remember that Suella Braverman, who was there, is a massive fan of banning peaceful gatherings.

Tom Harwood How is this any more nuts than arresting peaceful climate change protesters and sending them to prison Tom?

Are you even vaguely aware of your moral and intellectual bankruptcy?

Genuine question.

NB. The conference was only very briefly interrupted.

Can broadcasters please give us lots more interviews with Liz Truss over the coming months? You know, just to remind us.

Yet councils get little in return because they lease them to golf clubs on the cheap.

One council-owned golf course pays just £13,500 a year in rent to Enfield council for 39 hectares. That’s £3,000 less than it costs to rent a one bed flat in Enfield.

Coming tomorrow: a story that made me cry on air. One of the most emotional interviews I’ve ever done in this job. I try not to let my own feelings become part of my stories and usually they don’t - ultimately it doesn’t matter what I think, the story should speak for itself -…
