After his recent phone meeting with Putin, Trump was inevitably cautious again about supporting President Zelenskyy and #Ukraine. Putin knows how to play the narcissistic fool every time. https://t.co/TjX0WMegDV

Good friend said the other day that he's reading my collection of stories called Safe And Secure. And, as described, it's often dystopian and sadly topical. #writingcommunity

Lots of coverage of the China spy issue but not how much China already owns key parts of British infrastructure, encouraged by the Tories. China has big investments in energy, transport, privatised water and more. So, of course we're dependent on it. #WATO

Just finished reading Maybe I'm Amazed, a lovely book about autism and music by @johnharris1969. The Beatles loom large, just as they should. Of course, autism is a big subject and the book is also about family, society and inclusion. Which is part of what makes it so relevant.

The BBC is leading on the China spy case at every opportunity in blatant attempts to undermine Labour. Yet it and other media ignore actual corruption and treachery directly involving Reform, with Nathan Gill. Pure bias. #PMQs

🇷🇺 In 2018, Putin warned Britain not to hold a 2nd Brexit vote, urging May to “fulfil the will of the people”. Now we know why. His allies were funding the Brexit machine. Arron Banks met Russian officials. 2025: Farage’s lieutenant Nathan Gill has pled guilty to Russian
🚨 Farage’s, “I knew Gill, but not the Russians” claim collapses under scrutiny. Photos place him in Nathan Gill’s Strasbourg office with a Russian propagandist, the wife of Gill’s Kremlin paymaster, on the very day Gill made a pro-Medvedchuk speech in the EU Parliament. The

Rachel Reeves is right to say the economy is still suffering from the impacts of leaving the European Union, austerity and Liz Truss’s mini-budget. She and Keir Starmer need to be more vocal about Brexit and the need to #Rejoin the Single Market. https://t.co/p28e9RxAz9

Blaming immigrants is the far right’s favourite distraction. The real problem? Billionaires hoarding wealth and dodging taxes.

It says a lot about the lack of honesty in British politics and media that Wes Streeting saying Brexit has hurt the economy is news. More surprisingly, given the establishment's desperation not to admit it, Keir Starmer will finally acknowledge its harm. https://t.co/U57F069FmW

Wall to wall praise of Donald Trump for apparently achieving peace in the Middle East. It's excellent. But such a shame he didn't do it before #Gaza was destroyed and tens of thousands of Palestinians were murdered. #r4today

Nigel Farage is surprised his Reform ally Nathan Gill took Russian bribes. He'll be amazed to learn Putin interfered in the Brexit referendum. And stunned when he hears he, himself, praised Putin, exactly while he helped Bashar al-Assad commit genocide. https://t.co/v3ZuisyO5d

I should probably add that the chap who let me use his phone was a recent arrival from India and the Uber driver was Sudanese. And the @Chilternrailway man who offered me a free pass home was probably Polish.

Stupidly, I left my phone, credit cards & railway ticket in the Uber that delivered me to London Marylebone station tonight. A young chap at a station shop let me use his phone several times. Result: the driver brought my phone etc back to me within an hour. Good old London.

Of course, peace in Gaza will be a wondeful outcome. But Trump has already allowed and helped Netanyahu to commit genocide, so it's hard to hear him endlessly praised. And he really doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. #r4today
