On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

I for one have had enough of people who can barely speak English, living on benefits, ignoring our laws and wearing weird clothes that cover up their faces. So it was disappointing to see a few hundred of them gathered in Dover today.

Andy Burnham says UK has taken "a series of wrong turns" since the 1980s which was "compounded" by Brexit which led to "a decade of low growth and stalled regeneration". Burnham adds: "Change begins with honesty... Unless we are blunt about what went wrong, we won’t turn things around” 👏

America’s far right has Nazis. America’s far left wants people to be able to afford rent, healthcare and groceries. The desperate insistence that these are mirror-image "extremes" is one of the dumbest conceits in political journalism.

A bit rich coming from Tory Mel Stride, whose party managed to more than double the national debt, despite 14 years of austerity and the highest tax burden since WW2. In reality, we simply cannot afford the £40bn+ hit to the Treasury each year due to the Tories' and Refuk's disastrous Brexit.

What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.

Among the very many dim takes around the Ceuta incident... the very, very dumbest must be the assumption in Reform circles that all those people were somehow trying to make it to Britain. How exceptionalist and indeed exceptionally stupid can you get?
