Ukrainian local media report that Kharkiv’s CHP-5 power plant was just struck, reportedly by several Banderol mini cruise missiles. Further details are not yet available but this is how the 'energy truce' looks like. #Ukraine

In June 2017, Emma made history when she was elected Kensington’s first ever Labour MP. Six days after her election, Grenfell Tower fire saw 72 local residents lose their lives in the worst residential fire since WWII. Cuts to "red tape" save money. Regulations save lives. x.com/emmadentcoad...
Screencap of tweet by Emma Dent Coad quoting tweet by Kemi Badenoch.

Emma Dent Coad: "Grenfell - 72 died from the fire, at least five died by suicide, 11,000 have PTSD, concerns about long term effects of toxicity on residents, 11 firefighters with terminal cancer - plus £1bn spent and rising.

That's 'nothing' right?"

Kemi Badenoch: "Cutting red tape costs taxpayers nothing.

It's a common sense solution to get Britain building."

So, now we know that the polls,showing Starmer was deeply unpopular with the voters,were carried out on behalf of Reform UK Ltd to produce the 'right ' results. The fact that the PLP fell for it shows just how stupid they are. We tried to warn them that they were being played but they didn't listen

Then: "James (Orr) is now a senior member of our team, a senior adviser to Nigel Farage and he will bring even more talented patriots to the Reform family." Today: "They got a couple of our contractors to say things that perhaps should not have been said." Downgrades happen fast in Reform!

Left out of the reports about what Burnham had to say about Brexit (in answer to a question btw) was what he said about Starmer's role in working with the EU and what EU leaders have said to Burnham about the work done. With thanks to Simon Usherwood here's a screenshot.

There is a difference between scrutiny and entertainment. Jason Arday’s career posed questions, but they shouldn’t have become obsessional. Journalism should seek truth, but not public humiliation.

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.
