There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Christopher Harbourne has matched Ben Delo’s £36 million donation to Reform. This is unprecedented. Andy Burnham could have stopped this but instead he choose to let Reform threaten democracy itself. Will be discussing on @lbc.co.uk from 6pm.

The MoD recently gave a £10 million contract to an Israeli-owned arms firm which operates under the authority of minister Bezalel Smotrich -- who is subject to UK sanctions. Is Andy Burnham going to do anything about that? www.declassifieduk.org/uk-awarded-c...

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Labour need to be clear. Neither the thugs at Dover nor the mobs at Portsmouth have ‘legitimate concerns’. They’re racist hate-driven violent thugs.

If hundreds of masked men turned up outside a Reform rally where Nigel Farage was speaking just to register their 'concern' I have little doubt that the majority of the UK right-wing media would explode in anger. But they appear pretty sanguine about the current mobs at the coast. #r4today

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events. He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF. It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event

A reminder, last year The Spectator did an interview so fawning & uncritical of the Tate Brothers , that victims of the Tates had to complain to Ipso about it. Editor Michael Gove also champions the IDF & hates people of colour . The Spectator Summer Party is eagerly anticipated & attended 🥂.

There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
