This felt inevitable: an interview with Allison Pearson given top billing in the Telegraph. Connolly suggests Starmer should relearn what freedom of speech means and "what the laws are in this country". I think he knows but Connolly/Pearson clearly don't. No lessons have been learned in prison.

Western governments will do nothing about the IDF onslaught in Gaza because they depend on intelligence from Israel about the Middle East. Israel is Europe and North America’s listening post and watch tower overlooking the Middle East. Without Israel, the West would be deaf and blind in the region.

Nick Clegg obviously hasn't seen the state of Facebook recently. This is on the Guardian front page today 👇 bsky.app/profile/hele...

Shout out to all the other political prisoners who openly called for the burning of human beings, entered a guilty plea, got released after doing 40% of their sentence, and were immediately free to go on supportive media channels to criticise the government that locked them up.

As an aside: the Mad King is so fragile and upset at losing his hair that he now frequently wears a trashy MAGA baseball cap in public. From 27 July of this year 👇 bsky.app/profile/meid...

This is embarrassing to witness. Mad King Donald’s America continues to behave like a banana republic and continues to publicly soil itself on a daily - no, hourly - basis in front of the rest of the world. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

"Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" vibes from Honest Bob Jenrick. I'm old enough to remember when an unspoken tenet of Britishness was *NOT* feeling the need to constantly display the Union flag. Doing so was weird. As if putting the flag everywhere was an attempt to compensate for something else.

The Telegraph is the absolute gutter. Any self respecting journalist should resign given.

Pairing up with Tice is extraordinarily poor judgement by Stella Creasy. Tice's campaigning for Brexit shows that he's a proven liar. He's also the deputy leader of Deform UK, a party that is stirring up racial hatred and violence against migrants. Stella Creasy needs to give her head a wobble.

Sarah, if the silent majority want to say things like "Set fire to all the f***ing hotels full of the b******s for all that I care" then they are violent arseholes and they should stay silent
