A familiar pattern, from Trump to Farage: I haven’t seen it, wasn’t listening, can’t comment. When elected politicians repeatedly use this to evade accountability, it becomes a democratic problem. Britain needs clearer rules, stronger parliamentary mechanisms for challenging deliberate evasion.

Nick Clegg is now worth an estimated £100m and has joined the board of a data centre companies with ambitions to become a $1trn hyperscaler. So propping up a Tory-led austerity coalition seems to have worked out quite well for the guy.

The daily grind begins again. Trying to alert the world to the crimes of an aggressor, terrorist nation in the hope the world can ensure justice and stabilise again. Even the dumbest or most ardent Russophile must now realise Putin leads a Terrorist State. Day 1679 of his war.

When asked about the horrific mess Andrew Husband and Darren Grimes have made of Durham, Farage says he wasn’t listening, he saw nothing, he knows nothing, yet again. This is becoming a recurring theme and no one is falling for this party trick. 🙈🙊🐵 x.com/skynews/stat...

I've always favoured abolition of the House of Lords. But appointing establishment worthies unelected lawmakers for life and then allowing corporations bidding for huge public contracts to hire them on telephone number salaries is obviously as bent as a nine-bob note.

Ukraine is conducting a daring and heroic mission to bring aid to the residents in Russian-occupied Oleshky. So far 4,000 kg of food, water and medicine have been delivered to 100 locations. It's a race against time as Russia targets aid drops and civilians.

A former staff member of Tony Blair Institute said they had serious concerns that this was “very much trading money for access”, but was instructed by a colleague not to describe it that way. ‘They were saying you have to be really careful not to make it seem as if they’re paying money for access’😬
