There’s always a danger of embracing hyperbole when a moment is still unfolding but I do wonder whether, for many past admirers, Tony Blair has just destroyed every last vestige of the ‘legacy’ he cares so much about. Traditionally, Mandelson would now be advising him on how to turn things round…

Matthew Goodwin objects to prosecuting this: ‘I think it’s time for the British to gang together, hit the streets and start the slaughter. Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MPs’ houses and Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE.’

Chiffchaff at the pondside. There are 3 nesting pairs here at the moment - 2 of which have started laying their clutch of eggs. These birds will often nest in tussocks of grass/reeds by a path & for that reason are susceptible to disturbance & breeding failure. #ukwildlife #ornithology #warblers

Yet again *another* Times columnist - this time Emma Duncan - makes a blatantly false claim about disability benefits "At present you can get signed off sick simply through a phone consultation with a GP." Just shockingly bad journalism, again and again and again. archive.ph/It3VS
We wrongly implied that sickness benefits can be authorised by a GP (comment, Feb 28). Such decisions are taken by the Department for Work and Pensions.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
