Moved from Keir’s conference speech to have a peek at Trump’s meeting with all the General’s. It is completely batshit crazy. They were told that ‘war fighting’ includes being deployed to inner city war zones. This cannot be what they signed up for. Plus Pete Hegseth looks he is as a high as a kite

Is it significant that he referred to the negatives of Brexit a few times in his speech today? It has been the elephant in the room for his time in opposition and first year in government. I dare to hope there will be more of this as it underpins everything that is wrong right now

The Labour conference audience are doing everything they can to support and pep Keir Starmer up with his speech but his delivery is just dullsville and this is as good as it gets. This is who he is

Have these big conference speeches had their day? It looks quite outmoded and does it fit with how politics is being done or should be done now? Whose watching? I’m old school but suspect the audience is tiny

Now that would be a brilliant move!

Have settled down to watch Keir’s speech live. Absolutely hate the compulsory looking flags in the audience

Binge watched all of them a month ago. Kenneth Branagh was so good in this and I was gripped and moved by his take on the Wallender character. All on BBC iplayer too

Hate the increasingly depressing immigration rhetoric from the Home Secretary. Compulsion to ‘volunteer’ is NOT volunteering. More like unpaid labour I would say

I am not a golf fan but have found this #tydercup quite compelling due to the unbelievably poor loser behaviour of the Americans. It demonstrates to the world how Trump got elected again & how isolated and insular they really want to be. I was stupidly giving them the benefit of the doubt. No more

Yikes! £20 for a pizza at Pizza Express! Left U.K. in 2020 so this price is truly shocking to me. As the pizza there is average at best I think I’d stump up the additional £7 for for a steak at Hawksmoor

I find this statement sinister and very disappointing from a Labour Home Secretary. It could also be construed as discriminatory by requiring more of immigrants who having jumped through the required hoops then have to prove integration beyond this. We await her examples with interest

Very interesting in respect to U.K. #digitalid plans

These early shows are far too long for me so will watch on catch up tomorrow so we can whizz through the boring talkie bits #strictly

The Americans really are bad losers aren’t they? Rude wankers at #rydercup Cone on Europe!

If we are heading down this route to tackle so called illegal immigration, please don’t refer to Digital ID Cards as Brit Cards. It sounds tacky and plays into the populist nationalist playbook

He really has no problem in NOT doing what he says should be done by others. He seems to be fine just fronting it out again and again

Absolutely this

Enjoy. It is laugh out loud funny and a perfect distraction to our shit show news agenda right now

#BREAKING | In first time in history, Italy is sending a naval ship to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid for Gaza.

Yes, their so called defensive actions. Bogus and obscene

In these bleak times these words and the tune seem really lovely

Absolutely this

No the complete opposite. I have been a committed Labour voter my whole life. I embraced New Labour and the Tony Blair era. I was not a Corbynite but dutifully still voted Labour but one year into this Labour government I am done I think, I really am. I will be voting Green at the next election

Love this. My London and the London I know and watch from Puglia

Scarily so and it is so disappointing. Cannot believe that a brown Labour woman is prepared to wear the racist mantle that Priti, Suella and Kemi are doing for the Tories. This is an indelible stain on this Labour government

What an amazing idea

There should now surely be public health warnings with all media reporting of Trump talking on medical, health and pharmaceutical issues. He is endangering lives and the general health of a nation. He is dangerous

Italy today for #gaza

Love this suggestion

Completely agree with you. Have only recently started watching BBC iplayer from Italy and watched Newsnight for the first time in a year the other night. It used to be a regular watch for me but I was really shocked at its traduced state. A real tragedy
