Zarah Sultana has just been kicked out of the commons for calling Starmer a barefaced liar.

Zarah is spot on. Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar. We all know it.

And as for Lindsay Hoyle. I'm old enough to remember what a corrupt speaker he is.

Ha same, I'm actually trying to cut down slightly because I don't sleep well! TBF I think doing a PhD is probably more detrimental to my sleep!

💯 agree with this. Absolutely bends my mind when I hear academics talking (in reference to qualitative research) about 'how much more data you can analyse' using AI. Erm nope. The amount data AI is able to conduct a reflexive qualitative analysis of, is zero.

This 👇 My Dad was moaning about the greyhound ban last week to me. I politely pointed out that we're as working class as it gets and neither of us have either been to a greyhound race, or know a single person who has! Yet again elites painting a caricature of the working classes.

More excellent news re net zero. I'm constantly told to be more optimistic when critiquing "net zero".... personally I'm quite confident in my assertion that we're not doing particularly well

Yes, in 90s film Waterworld, the natural habitat for the Earth was water. That was fictional though dude. These people are terrifying.

The Met keeping us safe again. The proscription has been ruled illegal yet they choose to carry on arresting these peaceful activists as terrorists. They're doing this because they truly believe in the mission of removing dissenting voices.

Apparently the Green Leader, Zack Polanski wants to ban horse racing.

What nonsense. Horse racing is an integral part of our heritage. It's a sport that supports tens of thousands of jobs in rural communities, and is a lot of fun those of us who enjoy an occasional flutter.

Speaking of which, I popped into the bookies in Newark ahead of the Grand National.

Tip from Steve in Ladbrokes: Gorgeous Tom - was 22/1. But don't rely on that!

Less fun for the horses that fall in the Grand National and have to be shot.

The Tony Blair Institute should at this stage be regarded as a hostile entity working to directly harm British sovereignty.

Ahead of the curve as ever I see. Took what, nearly two years for you guys to work out that Gaza was genocide.....but yes, is Trump actually a fascist, the question that really is now stumping experts everywhere

Not so sure about the assertion that there would be sanctions if it were any other world leader. Netanyahu continues his genocide in Palestine, and has moved on to both Lebanon and Iran. We found out just how meaningful international arrest warrants are during the course of his actions.

Was seeing a real rise in this at the end of my career in education and it was a real worry. One of the mind bending bits of the guardian article is the call "for better training for staff". Erm news flash, they're leaving in droves and are not being replaced. How about tackling the actual problem

This would be a huge contract for JCB.

In other news, the JBC group has so far given £1.1 million to the Conservative party and Kemi Badenoch since she became its leader
