Conservative shadow education secretary delivers a hard hitting speech saying she will clamp down and prevent something happening that isn't actually happening in schools. Out of touch, dog whistle politics.

Breaking. Badenoch admits on Kuenssberg she is happy for those earning millions per year to get free childcare subsidised by the taxpayer.

One truth Nigel, is that the Fairfield five are all UK nationals from London. A second truth is that yet again you have embarrassed yourself rushing to blame small boat migrants to appeal to your racist supporters.

Andy Burnham was brilliant on Kuenssberg. Refreshingly honest, straight talking and passionate about fixing social care. 👏 👏 👏.

Pay attention Reform voting pensioners, when Nigel says he wants to cut benefits he means he wants to abolish your pension.

Excellent news. The residents of Paddington will need their own passports to leave the village then, as they are so keen on borders. And their own health service, utilities and pensions while they're at it.

Is it illegal to raise a private army in the UK? Public schoolboy and convicted criminal Daniel Thomas described this rabble as "my men".

If this doesn't frighten you, you haven't learnt the lessons of history. Blatant fascism.

This is entirely believable. I often stop listening when somebody is offering to give me £500,000.

If Reform are the party for working people as they claim, why are the super rich so keen to give them money and why are Reform (allegedly) prepared to break the law to accept it?

Police confirm there was no credible threat against Farage. The truth is that he didn't want to be photographed next to Count Binface. So he wouldn't want this image to be shared.

This is why Count Binface has already won the Clacton by-election.

Careless of Nige not to mention this when he claimed he had to take a £5,000,000 bung to pay for security. #nigelfarage

Today Nigel attended a debate on rape. I wonder, did he take the opportunity to apologise for his support for Andrew Tate, a man charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm, who Nigel described as "an important voice for young men"?

Of course Keir's going to stay on. The whole "will he walk or will he get the push speculation" was always just right wing media hype. Keir won a five year mandate. That's that

The news programs this morning are endlessly talking about how terribly badly the Labour party is doing. Labour have lost many seats it's true, but they are still coming second. Not quite the disaster being described?

I agree there is a difference, and I didn't say anything about the leader of the Greens. I did say some of the anti-Semites that Keir forced out of the Labour party have turned up in the Greens. This article today supports that view.

Don't forget this tricky Dickie. £400,000 donor to the Tories, arranged an £800,000 loan to Boris Johnson.

No Conservative should be allowed to speak on this matter without being reminded that Boris Johnson failed his security vetting, yet the Tories appointed him to be Foreign Minister and then Prime Minister.

Where's the scar? I had my ears pierced 43 years ago, haven't worn an earring for 39, the hole is still there. Trump was "shot in the ear" just a year and a half ago and there's no mark. Amazing.

Would extracting more gas from the North Sea reduce oil and gas prices for the UK? No. Badenoch and Reform UK, have said that more drilling could reduce prices, but that is not true. Oil and gas are sold by private companies on the international market. There would be no discount for UK consumers.

That's what happens when the grown ups are in charge. A stable economy and green shoots of recovery after 14 years of chaos from the Conservatives (now masquerading as Reform).
