In a spirit of cross-party fraternalism, my advice to Labour is if you're going to split into factions don't call it anything cringe and chip shop like "the five families" because you do still have a small amount of dignity left at the moment.
NEW: Labour MP Barry Gardiner tells @BBCNewsnight tonight: 🔴Labour is "splitting into factions" like Tories did 🔴No10 "command and control structure" won't work 🔴MPs are "frustrated, some are angry" 🔴"Resentment" at all levels of the party "is toxic" 🔴Took him 6 weeks to

The events of the last couple of days have led me to the conclusion that some of us in politics, especially on the right, have been too fearful of what opponents with greater numbers and louder, angrier voices say about us. I'm as guilty of this as anyone - I've held my tongue or

Absolutely not. Let them show the world exactly who they really are.
Should X remove the accounts that are cheering the death of Charlie Kirk?

I personally think we should stop pretending like every person who goes to Oxford or Cambridge is the social and intellectual superior to the rest of us mere mortals and that we should stop platforming their extremely inside baseball and boring internal politics soap operas.
Not good enough. He must resign now. Moylan, Queen’s, ex-President.

Might have to take this advice today. Every time I open twitter I start to cry. I think I'll switch off for a while and say some prayers for his wife and little ones instead - feels like what he'd want.
When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok.

Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed. Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Whoever pulled the trigger has made Charlie Kirk a much bigger problem for their side. He was huge in life, but in death he's unstoppable. They vindicated his point and made him a martyr - the world is going to see how ugly the face is behind the mask of *be kind*.
Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The

Two little kids have joined the world's shittiest club today. It's absolutely heartbreaking. I have no other words.
Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era. My dear friend Charlie Kirk was our country's relentless and courageous crusader for free speech. We pray for Erika and the children. Charlie is already in paradise with the angels. We ask his prayers for

If the RMT even get an extra sugarlump in their tea after how horrific my trip across London has been, I am fully ready to go to war. You thought Thatcher was bad - this damp northern panda is ready to make sure you can't organise so much as a dolly's tea party in future.

Sympathetic to this because they're objectively horrible, but I'd say no lights, no music, full UK driving licence and make them do The Knowledge for the hypothetical world where someone genuinely wants to offer a cycle cab service as opposed to a quite annoying tourist scam.
Honestly? Ban them. It’s a very quick visual upgrade for central London.

Posh & Becks are absolute goals - she's joking about his juicy plums and he's calling her Sticky Vicky 😆 10/10 British relationship, no notes.

Similarly, @BootsUK, why do you need to check I'm not a robot - do you get many robots searching for Garnier moisture bomb sheet masks? Are there a load of very hydrated and youthful-looking automatons out there I'm not aware of?
I'm really not about to sign up for 2 factor authentication for the app that tells me what spellings my son has to learn this week and what day he needs his PE kit. What crucial details could anyone hope to hack? If you want a photo of my kid doing this face 😐👍🏼 while holding a

Love an ally Polish nom de guerre - my granddad's was "Rys". Apparently it means Lynx, but we think it was a play on the word for "sketch" because he did a lot of drawing in his notebooks.
Major Sergiusz Papliński, nom the guerre "Kawka", would have turned 98 today. His life reads like the script of an action film. He took part in key partisan operations of the "Szary" unit, was imprisoned in Radom, and was freed on his birthday by comrades under the command of
