Reform spokesman Zia Yusuf is currently on the Today Programme. He seems to be arguing that asylum seekers are to blame for ambulance waiting times, youth unemployment and exam results in Wales. You couldn't satirise this. It's its own parody - which is a source of its strength.

15 outlets published 249 articles about Jason Arday, but there appears to be a partial media blackout regarding Dr Lola Salem, Michael Gove's ex-girlfriend, who has been suspended from Oxford University after being charged with possessing indecent images of children. jamradio.uk/news/2026/10...

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

A bunch of folks who have never had empathy for Palestinian deaths are quoted here en masse responding to an accurate, smart, and thought out statement. Same as if ever was. Zohran is great. His critics continue to relegate themselves into history's villain pile.

With the Metropolitan Police criminal investigation into foreign funding allegations still ongoing, a 27-page internal party whitewash holds zero legal weight. Restoring public trust requires independent scrutiny, not self-awarded exonerations. How long until the real verdict drops? #FBPE

Good of Kemi to remind voters that when she graduated in 2003, in the middle of a second Labour term, the graduate jobs market was flourishing and after 14 years of Conservative government it is hopeless.
