Its King's speech day in parliament today. Im waiting for @bbc to focus on the pressure on SKS. Nothing on the policies presented. Nothing on Farage's bungs Nothing on his house in Clacton. Nothing on Farage's presence in the Epstein files. Business as usual at the BBC.

Nigel needs to start being MP for Clacton, before he talks about crime in the UK. Clacton has a rate of 138 crimes per 1,000 people, way above the national average. Clacton has the worst record for antisocial behaviour of UK seaside towns. It’s the second most deprived seaside town in the UK.

If you think Reform UK are the hard-men of law and order, think again. Behind the tough-guy act is a soft-touch scam that would be funny — if it weren’t so dangerous. They talk a big game. They shout ...

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

Meet a leader who is not a convicted felon and never called those who gave their lives for the freedom of Europe ‘suckers and losers’. A leader who wasn’t scared to get his hair wet. A man who did not collaborate with the enemy This is a man who didn’t incite an insurrection to overthrow an election

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Know all these Tories screaming about a second public inquiry? It’s a racist dog whistle. They know full well there’s already been an inquiry, it ran for 7 years, cost £200m and the Tory govt didn’t implement a single recommendation. So that’s what you remind them every time they lie.

A question. I have tried to deactivate my Twitter account and find I can't. When using my password and even went through changing my password, it still won't deactivate. Am I being cynical in believing Twitter is preventing accounts leaving the platform?

It’s all in the telling.
Dear Santa:
When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced.
Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house.
Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died.
My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day.
My brother left home and won't talk to us any more.
Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing.
Yours sincerely.
Prince William

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
