π¨ Never thought I'd be appearing on talkSPORT, but I've just recorded an interview with the broadcasting legend Paul Ross which will go out on the network as well as on Talk in the early hours about the whole Peter Mandelson/Keir Starmer controversy.
Tune in! π
π¨ BRAND NEW COLUMN!!! π¨
In my latest Mathew on Monday for Lib Dem Voice I write about:
πΆοΈ Is Keir Starmer the most incurious Prime Minister in British history?
πΆοΈ Lib Dems holding firm as polling ticks up across the UK.
πΆοΈ And, a welcome reset at Stonewall.

π¨ Later in Mathew on Monday for Lib Dem Voice...
Why doesn't Keir Starmer ask more questions?
Is he a passenger in his own government?
A big one this week. Don't miss it.

πΊ Was good to make my debut on the GB News Breakfast Show this morning, discussing if politics should ever come between family.
π¨ I'm on GB News in the morning.
Hope you can tune in. Thanks. π
'Starmer suffers from a kind of wilful blindness. He cannot, or will not, see what others can see so clearly: that he is a failing Prime Minister without a governing project.'
Absolutely scathing from former New Statesman editor Jason Cowley in The Sunday Times today.
Having a cuppa and read of the paper. βοΈ π
- At Understated, Hinckley.
Many thanks to those who offered kind words and encouragement at church today, after I led prayers for the first time. π
- At St Mary's Church, Hinckley.
Genuinely have no idea why I love wrestling so much! π
Who else is tuned into Wrestlemania Saturday?

Do please let me know if I might contribute.
Cheers! π
βΆοΈ WATCH: False choice: defence vs the poorest.
I'm not having it!

π¨ BREAKING: It's being reported by The Guardian that Peter Mandelson FAILED the vetting process to become U.S. Ambassador but that that was 'overruled' by the Foreign Office.
We'll have full reaction, analysis and comment in the new ep of Political Frenemies that we record tomorrow night.
βΆοΈ WATCH: "We sing 'Britain rules the waves, Britons shall never be slaves,' but what about those (people) who were enslaved in colonised countries under the yoke of Brirish rule?"
Earlier this month on GB News I spoke out against Reform UK's latest crackpot policy.
πΊ Earlier this month I was on GB News, talking about Reform UK's latest crackpot policy...removing the visas of people wanting to come to this country from nations who (rightly) are seeking reparations from the UK after suffering under the yoke of British colonial rule.
π¨ Wes Streeting is wrong!
The Health Secretary has reportedly said today that he's happy to see the 'Welfare Bill' cut to spend more on defence.
But that is a false choice!
My latest Mathew's Take... YouTube short.

Where the Pope speaks in the language of shared humanity, Trump too often defaults to division and confrontation.'

πΊ It was good to be on Talk this evening, defending the BBC and calling for the Culture Secretary and this government to ensure the future of the licence fee for the long term.
π¨ BRAND NEW ARTICLE!!! π¨
I was busy appearing on national telly and radio earlier, so didn't have time to link to my latest Midweek Mathew on Substack.
So, here it is...
'Trump Isn't God-And he Isn't Going to Win a Moral Battle with the Pope.'

π¨ Hope you can join us, folks! π
πΊ It was good earlier this evening to make my debut on State of the Nation with a certain Jacob Rees-Mogg, on GB News, calling for more safe and legal routes for people claiming asylum into the UK.
π¨ I'm on national TV and Radio later.
Do, please, tune in. Thanks. π
π¨ New Midweek Mathew dropping later...
Trump might think strength is about bluster and brinkmanship-but there's a far, far deeper moral voice pushing back.
When the Pope speaks about peace, justice, and international law it matters.
This one goes right to the heart of it.
Only on Substack.
On the anniversary of his death in 1988, here's 1m:39s of spoken word brilliance from Kenneth Williams-and the late, great Maggie Smith-reciting 'Death in Leamington' back to its author John Betjeman on an episode of Parkinson. Sublime.
All now dearly departed.

π¨ "The BBC must be bold, brave, and courageous."
My recent appearance on Talk-to discuss the future of the Corporation-is featured in this week's edition of The Hinckley Times, out today.
I've just watched today's ep of Coronation Street on YouTube and it's one of the most impactful single ep's I've ever seen.
Devastatingly effective acting by the brilliant Gareth Pierce as battered (same sex) husband Todd.
The show also highlights the female victims of DV.
Give it a watch.
No s***, Sherlock! π€¦ββοΈ
