If you have literally owned a political party since 2019, and appear almost weekly on BBCQT, how can you claim you're "not in politics" in 2024 just because you're not an MP yet?

2009 (just 17 years ago), NF leader Nick Griffin was on Question Time. It was a shocking scandal to have an avowed racist on TV, and everyone lined up to denounce him. It also opened the floodgates. #BBCQT has a lot to answer for.

Why do not journalists EVER ask Trump what the definition of treason is?

A few hundred MPs, worried about job security in three-years time, think they should be allowed to force a change of boss. The Tories thought the same. So why dont they legislate to give us all the same rights they have?

Wes #Streeting is a low-rent David Cameron. Obviously the saviour of the nation.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

So, if I ask Grok to make a full-length explicit naked picture of Trump for my delectation, it does just what I ask ... but it won't let me see its creation. Pretty reassuring that it's so careful about my mental health, no?

Things are in a pretty bad state when Michael #Gove, mate of #Rupert, can issue a far more forceful remediation of #Trumps threat to sue/destroy the #BBC that #Starmer or #Nandy. This is probably the most loved institution in Britain we're talking about. We MUST defend it, even while it must change.

The #Telegraph, #Mail, #Express accusing the #BBC of institutional bias, shoddy standards and lack of balance and transparency? Takes one to know one.

#Farage quotes Trump on the #BBC: 'Is this how you treat your best ally?'. We could ask the same question of him about the organisation that has platformed him endlessly for years and brought him close to Downing St.

@alexpodyssey.bsky.social How's season 2 of the wonderful #Podyssey coming along? Any update on when it might launch? I keep checking hopefully but then my optimism is dashed... comms on this would surely be welcome to all your many fans...

This podcast is wonderfully crafted, can't recommend it highly enough. Delighted the new episode is up!

Go on. You know you want to. Not much on the Internet is as good as this.

"1940...Bombs continued to fall in the country around Area 8, but the only casualties reported to Division 3 Control were two rabbits and an owl at Tetbury and a pony and a rabbit at Cirencester…" How #WWII ravaged the #Stroud District of Gloucestershire.

An interim.governmentvfollowed by free elections supervised by the UN? Great idea - if applied equally in #Russia.

Where is the live TV feed of #Putin saying #thankyou to #JDVance and #Trump? Has Trump demonstrated his friendship by cutting off intelligence sharing with the Kremlin?

Forget Putin. #Trump's senior team are all amateurs and new at diplomacy and international affairs. Even if Trump were clear-sighted and honourable, #Lavrov and #Peskov would have them all of lunch. Game over.

#Trump thinks he can simultaneously (a) create a historic settlement in the Middle East and (b) reshape European defence and East European borders. All in a few weeks and with a team of amateur diplomats, while destroying Washington's reservoir of profesisonal expertise. Good luck with all that.

So, a few short months ago we were all telling ourselves #Trump was senile, incoherent, has dementia. Now he has resurrected as the evil genius. What should I believe?

Magnificent ceremony from Notre Dame, with hugely moving ovation for the fire fighters, fabulous organ music and great speech from Macron, and many shots of Trump being bored. Found it on the #Guardian courtesy of #Eurovision. But why not on #BBC?

Just arrived. It's great, but my feed is full of Americans and - to be honest - I've had enough of US politics recently to keep me going for a while yet. Not got anything against you, naturally, but are there any Brits here? Or cricket fans, anywhere in the world (including Americans, obvs)?
