We used to be joined to the European mainland, so moving the UK to the middle of the Atlantic really doesn’t work!

Josh Babarinde MP: "Our volunteer lifeboat crews. These are people who put their lives on the line for us" 👏 "Anyone who should get in their way is pathetic, unpatriotic, and un-British. We're a country that prides ourselves in bringing people together."

Wouldn’t it be nice if decent left wing Tories joined the Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrats shared power with the right wing of the Labour Party? All the moderate, sensible people in one government!

It would be quite 'something' if, after all the talk of leaving the EU to create CANZUK, there ends up being CANZEU without the UK

Nigel Farage said he wanted its councillors to demonstrate how a Reform government would run the UK. It seems that the chaos erupting before our very eyes is a very accurate representation of what a Reform UK government would look like...

Really struggling with Pakistan's U19 cricket team coaches having to confirm their particulars with a Reform councillor to get him to disperse the mob gathered outside their hotel. We're in a very bad place and we're doing nothing about it.

RNLI volunteers put themselves in harm’s way to save lives. They should never face abuse or threats for doing so. That includes the crews based on the Thames, who respond to hundreds of incidents every year. They deserve to be thanked, not attacked.

Peter Sparkes says there has been "deliberate misinformation" spread about the charity.

When, on earth is someone going to act on evidence that the president is clearly deranged? It is not being kind to him to pretend that this isn’t happening!

A few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.

Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan
