Did anyone think about this headline before they posted it? For those unfamiliar with the context, Donaldson is awaiting trial on 18 charges including rape.

If only Angela Rayner had followed the Telegraph’s advice. Then they might not call her a hypocrite.

Thanks to Angela Rayner, zero hours contracts will be banned, no-one will be subject to fire at will, no-one will be able to be fired and rehired, and no-one will lose their private rented home just cos their landlord wants them out. That's quite some legacy. Thank you Angela.

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake & has paid heavily for it. Hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics needs more voices like hers

Because he is widely and deservedly loathed.

Absolutely loving the great people of England not accepting the fleg loonies taking over their country...and could we here in Belfast take some inspiration as our beautiful city is forced to resemble a BNP supporters club all the summer months

One advantage of scrapping AS levels - it would give grammar schools one less excuse to kick students out to fiddle their league table place.

Whatever your views on Israel/Palestine, Paul Givan went to an illegal settlement and used government resources to promote his visit. The settlement is illegal under international and UK law. Ignore all the noise, that’s what happened. He’d be gone in any other jurisdiction.

Johnny Mercer Just a reminder. It was the courts that found your Legacy Act unlawful. Any government would have had to legislate because so much of it was unlawful (and unworkable). There’s so little evidence-based analysis in the current debate. Here is a small plea for some, please.

Solidarity with Niall Stanage, a great journalist asking important questions, something not enough people do that WH briefing room.
