The only coherent thing this group of toothless imbeciles was interested in chanting was 'Starmer's a wanker'. You've got to wonder when he realises he can never go far enough to the right

Dispiriting to see pro-Gaza supporters chanting 'from the river to the sea' outside Chatham House earlier today

Quite sure that being sent books for review will never not be exciting Looking forward to starting this

Meanwhile on Twitter, Andrew Tetterhorn is decrying the bar standards board's censorship of *checks notes* violent sexual fantasies and misogyny Truly the end of freedom of speech at the Bar
