As a person of colour I was pretty shocked to see the gusto she displayed with her new job. Patel & Braverman her predecessors laid the foundations but was not expecting a Muslim Labour HS to follow suit. So disappointing

We have the right to be disappointed with the way she is enacting the immigration element of her Home Office brief as a Muslim woman because she is using the racist positioning & rhetoric of the Tory/Reform right with her policy making, adding to & enabling the racism that is out there.

Just catching up on today’s Starmer vetting woes. Olly Robbins’ very credible Committee performance this morning shows Starmer in a very poor light, completely tied up in ‘process’ & demonstrating once again a complete lack of political intelligence & guile which is a necessity for a successful PM

It won’t be a woman or John Healey who is as dull as Starmer and if it happens quickly after local elections, either Darren Jones or Peter Kyle will beat Wes Streeting to the post

I had to do a double take on this. It is so WRONG #BBCNews on EVERY level

Absolutely loved her & cannot believe it is 10 years. A total loss to the gaiety of life

Sky News says the Speaker has accepted Bad Enoch’s application for an emergency debate tomorrow as there are inconsistencies in the Govt’s position on Mandelson vetting saga. How many other ways can the same questions be asked? Total overkill but another grandstanding opportunity for her I suppose

Probably because he will be able to successfully argue that he has been sacked without due process making it an unfair dismissal but he won’t take it to court as long as he receives a year’s salary & maybe a top up of his pension & outstanding holiday pay. This is how the other half live

He put in an Oscar winning performance for his deluded voter base today with his fake outrage at Starmer. Liar? It takes one to know one

Labour benches are noticeably thinning out with Starmer still answering questions. They are not happy

Yes and it is so misplaced as she is a total disaster as a Party Leader. She’s loving today with her 6 heavily scripted questions

But she is heavily scripted with her 6 questions today but a disaster when she has to ad-lib off script or be interviewed. She does not have the full package but not sure she will be leading Tories into next election, just like Starmer

David Lammy is looking like he is losing the will to live sitting next to Starmer in Commons. Yawning, head in hands. Looking very very uncomfortable at points today

Agree but she is fully scripted with her 6 questions. She cocks it up when she goes off script and has to ad-lib

Here we go …… Starmer is up addressing House of Commons on Mandelson vetting debacle

Thank goodness a 10 day ceasefire in Lebanon. But those sadistic bastards have managed to destroy the one remaining bridge in the south of Lebanon today. Disgusting

Was appalled to see this story actually leading the #BBCNews at 6.00 considering the world news agenda right now & even more disgusted with the whole tabloid style framing of this report & presentation. Am not usually a BBC basher but this was shameful & very disappointing

Amazing scenes in Italian Parliament today as opposition parties rally to support Meloni & to unanimously condemn Trump & his insults this week. Stating clearly that Italy repudiates this war

Totally agree with you. Current funding arrangements are the root of what is wrong with our politics and why it is fundamentally corrupt and corrupting of those involved

Meloni is accurately reading the room here in Italy with her public defence of the Pope, critique of Trump’s war with Iran & yesterday’s suspension of a defence pact with Israel. Despise her instinctive RW politics but can see she could be a survivor here with this repositioning

So true …..

Love this …..

I can see that recent polling tells us that 63% of UK would now vote to remain in EU and that would be a very clear & decisive result in another vote. But I cannot help but think that the absolute bin fire we have lived through for the past 10 years that % should be far higher, surely?

Wow, Italy is pulling out of it’s defence agreement with Israel. This action amounts to a significant geopolitical shake-up. Am I mad to hope that there could be a domino effect?

What did David Lammy actually think he would gain by posting a picture of himself with his ‘friend’ JD Vance in Washington this week? Deluded fool

Love this …..

Have seen some very gratifying heckling of Farage on the Shetlands today. Apparently he will be making a quick exit on his private jet very soon 😂

That would be the icing on the cake 🎂

Eminently possible as he was essentially a conservative Nationalist I believe. He has been on a journey but who knows? Today I am just enjoying seeing the celebrations of Orban’s departure

Italy is not amused that the big orange tit of a man has dissed the Pope
