#bbcaq Anyone who wants to see the torn body parts and brains of a man after he's been annihilated by a firing squad is no better than the ghouls who watched ISIS execution videos.

#bbcaq No-one in British media will debate the allegations laid against Zionism. There are many prominent Israelis who find Zionism problematic, but we only seem to be fed one agreed view. The Zionist movement was responsible for the deaths of many British soldiers before 1948.

#Newsnight Christa Pike's botched execution event is a medieval horror story. The United States of America looks horrible, right now. And a reminder that the 17-year-old male accomplice never faced the death penalty.

#PoliticsLive Take a look at those average opinion poll ratings, and then remind yourself that this is a mid-term Labour government. Their poll ratings at this point in the cycle are extraordinary.

#PoliticsLive Much of Thatcherism has been a disaster for the UK. You only have to look at the sell-off of our car industry, as China and the USA dominate the coming driverless car revolution. The UK could have been at the centre of it if we still had a car industry to speak of.
