Love this photo. @EmmanuelMacron and @Keir_Starmer are focused on @ZelenskyyUa with huge respect and support. These men have class. I reckon the Pope's spirit is with them. @realDonaldTrump trying to look like he's included. But he's not. Powerful stuff. 🇺🇦🇫🇷🇬🇧 #SlavaUkraïni.

Charlie Stayt to Dominic Raab: "Who on earth are you & your colleagues to decide the next PM? Your decision-making on this has been disastrous & financially hurtful to so many watching this morning. Why should you be allowed to make the decision?" Naked scorn & outrage. Ouch.

Therese Coffey is awful, awful, awful. She's in hoc to tobacco lobbyists and in interviews she'll say whatever she's told to say. Truth is a foreign word to her. She's an absolute waste of media space.

Chief Whip Simon Hart told Lindsay Hoyle that the Reform bribe to senior MP's salary is a guarantee of 5 years MP salary if they lose their seat after defecting. That's about £430,000. No wonder #30pLee changed his mind. He can do nothing for 5 years and still get paid.

An BBC insider said "There was possibly a bit of over-caution, which felt a bit over the top to most people in news". No kidding. That was one of the best shows; @CliveMyrieBBC was outstandingly funny. It's satire, for heaven's sake @BBCNews .

It's 2016 all over again. I can't believe how stupid & just awful the majority of Americans are. I think it was Van Jones who said if Trump wins we Americans are going to have to take a long hard look at who we have become. Racists. Misogynists. I feel sick to my stomach.

It's hard to watch the PO inquiry. Stephen Bradshaw could say he's wracked with guilt for how he personally contributed to lives being ruined. Instead he just looks angry. "It's not my fault". Well, yeah, it was, Mr. Bradshaw. And he still has his job in the PO. Unbelievable.

Lisa Nandy is brilliant. If Keir Starmer gets a fine and resigns, she would be a great replacement. She's articulate, well-informed, totally committed, quick witted and afraid of nobody.
Lisa Nandy to Jonathan Gullis(Tory MP). "If he cared one iota for his constituency. he'd be asking Michael Gove where the missing £27m has gone. We have heard plenty from him, & it's about time that he listened."

@oflynnsocial @nickolasdreyfus And I find this tweet irresponsible. We should all care about the endemic racism that still pervades society in the US and in the UK. Fighting against racism isn't a left-right issue, it's a matter for all humanity. With emphasis on "humanity".

Beth Rigby asked Keir Starmer what he was going to do about the Labour voters that he lost because of his stand on Gaza. He was very graceful in his reply - said he would talk to them and hear them and do whatever he needed to do win back their trust. Well said, Keir.
