I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on. The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

The BBC has its flaws but it remains a great cherished national institution. Shame on Tice, Kruger and the Reform leadership that they side with Trump and his absurd lawsuit against the BBC. Reform is literally traitorous - today’s insidious incarnation of Lord Haw-Haw

It is a national scandal. I’m asking Parliament to give us the powers to regulate children’s care providers properly — and impose a profit cap if needed. Part of Labour's landmark bill, the biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation. https://t.co/zdpyPRffMk

I have a pupil in my class (Year 6) who did this in about ten minutes. She's massively talented. Some ideas about how to help her move forward would be very much appreciated. Art isn't really my speciality.

It’s a sad sad day to see my country suffering in Cardiff, I feel sorry for these players, this game should never ever have been arranged, Scotland had it right play a few lesser nations to get the team confidence back. What do we do play at least 3 top 5 teams in the world 🙈

Wales 0 South Africa 73 🏴 🇿🇦 Not one welsh player deserves to be criticised after that game imo. Light years apart in standards and ability. It was a no contest as we all expected. The WRU on the other hand for arranging this fixture. Shame On You. Rock Bottom. 😪

There’s a certain type of upper middle class lawyer (common in some corners of academia, too) who looks down on juries and stubbornly refuses to see their value. It’s easy to put trust in only a judge deciding your guilt when you come from the same social background with the same
