"It is hard enough to be a carer for your own loved ones. The tenderness I dispensed to my mother, came from a battery she had charged with five decades of love. Being able to muster the energy and patience it takes to care for a complete stranger... Well, it's magical. It's a sort of superpower."

As @duncanweldon.bsky.social says here, that his arrest is being used to make money and how it will be used to portray him as a "martyr" is absolutely no reason not to prosecute him to the full extent of the law. Enough of this whole "your playing into their hands" idiocy. bsky.app/profile/dunc...

So happy to be back in beautiful Valldemossa, Mallorca.

The worst part came before that when he described Ed Miliband as "of Jewish heritage". The word he was looking for is: Jewish. Disgusting. Many (most) journalists would be sacked for this and rightly so. I hope Miliband makes a formal complaint.

Thing is, I am not entirely sure he "gatecrashed" anything or "confronted" anyone. I think there is a perfectly good possibility - I put it no higher - this was arranged with Yusuf and as "spontaneous" as the disorder. If my instinct is right, it's the starting pistol for the race to replace Farage.

It isn’t an operational matter for the police, it is a matter of national security. Left or right, there are good reasons why we do not allow groups to shut down key infrastructure, especially those who will not show their faces.

I plead with people not to propagate their "it won't make a difference; his supporters love him" gloom. Actually, Farage is on the ropes and he didn't get there by himself. He's there because people continue to believe resistance does make a difference. It's also wrong on the facts. 1/3

It’s really no surprise that the Reform audience had a violent rage that was primed and ready to be unleashed against any protesters who popped up. The level of demonisation by both Reform and its media facilitators against their opponents makes this inevitable. Identical scenes at Trump rallies.

#OnThisDay in 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 1 probe to study the outer solar system. It's still transmitting data, and at over 15.9 billion miles away is the most distant man-made object. In 1990, Voyager 1 took the famous 'Pale Blue Dot' image, showing Earth from over 6 billion kilometres away.

The image depicts the Voyager 1 spacecraft in space, set against a backdrop of stars and nebulous, blue cosmic clouds.

If they’re not making claims about what they’re supposedly protesting about it’s not a protest. It’s disruption, blockade, etc. No attention should be given to speculating about their motives. If they don’t tell anyone, it’s their problem. Just arrest them for interfering with essential transport.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the Schengen area. It’s also a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is part of the Single Market, meaning it enjoys freedom of movement with the EU. Good to know that doesn’t impact their independence. Maybe we should try it, Nige.
