Omg, Trump speech on the radio. Where's the live fact checking? People think this is leadership?

Kemi getting stroppy on Radio 4 was an entertaining accompaniment to my morning email catchup.

The big question now, will Lord Nigel finally let Zia have a go at standing or will it be another window cleaner with dubious social media history? BBC News - Keir Starmer announces he is standing down as MP - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Keir Starmer announces he is standing down as MP
The move will trigger a by-election to replace the former prime minister in his London constituency.

Dear wordle gods. Why today when I'm travelling and can't resort to the scrabble board for guidance. 4 guesses, only 2 letters confirmed and rubbish left. I can't see a single word in there. 480 streak. Paper and pen time, going to be a long night #wordle

@lbc.co.uk Funny how, with announcement during @mrjamesob.bsky.social show, Farage is talking to Nick Ferrari & being broadcast during Sheila's show. Is there anyone else that gets to pick and choose who they talk to, regardless of who's on live at the time? #2tierradio

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.
