I've asked the Prime Minister to correct the record - in line with the Ministerial Code - after the statistics regulator ruled that the asylum backlog had increased by 147,000 since 2010 (not 'halved' as PM claimed!) Under the Tories it is 8x higher than under Labour, at 166,000

Does Gary Lineker put Marxist on his Twitter bio? Does Meghan Markle put Tofuist on hers? Does Carol Vorderman put SNP on hers? Does Simon Calder put Remainer on his? Does Jeremy Vine put Vegan Cyclist on his? No! So we Conservatives DON’T have to put Conservative on ours!😡🇬🇧

‼️Security guards who protected British embassy staff in Afghanistan rounded up in the UK, arrested, locked up and told they will be deported 😱😱😱 This is beyond the pale, even for this government. Their assault on refugee protection must be stopped

UK has the WORST water quality in Europe. We're also the only country in the WORLD which has privatised its entire water supply. Going well isn't it? Another shite Tory idea.

Here’s @RSF_inter’s full statement on the barring of our visit to Belmarsh prison to see Julian Assange today, with quotes from me and @cdeloire. /END

Nigel Lawson has died. But despite the overwhelming evidence of science, for balance we’re going to talk to somebody who says he hasn’t.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

What is the #FrozenPensions policy and why must it end? A THREAD:

@pensionjustice @AlanBrownSNP The fact that the "Great" British Government continues to freeze the pension of WW2 veterans retired in Canada appalling & disgusts me 🔰 All the time while wearing a cheap poppy, and spouting even cheaper words of false thanks & remembrance. https://t.co/Z6cbiLweNx

Thank you @AlanBrownSNP for highlighting the hardship facing nearly half a million British pensions who are excluded from UK state pensions uprating and for urging the Government to engage with countries, such as Canada, who are trying to end this cruel policy.

A party that puts up trade barriers with its biggest market and stops its own citizens from being able to work with and sell freely to 450m consumers is anti-growth.

For 4 years when I was US Editor I went to endless Trump rallies where we’d be accused of being ‘enemies of the people’ - the ‘we’ were the media, but also ‘liberals’, civil servants, environmentalists, the swamp, the think tanks. All felt a bit familiar in B’ham today

Peter Hennessy reads a diary entry on #bbcbh @BBCRadio4. The day @BorisJohnson refused to resign. Worth listening to:

I think I can solve all the problems facing the UK with one easy to implement policy. Just send all British government ministers to live in Rwanda. Simples...

8 days ago, here’s a Home Office Minister saying there is absolutely no possibility of the government sending refugees to Rwanda, and that if there were he would know about it. 8 days ago.

@ByDonkeys Excellent and powerful work, everybody who's voting next month should take a look at this! #ToriesUnfitToGovern #JohnsonOut

@ByDonkeys Great! Can we crowd fund this to get it played during the advertising slots on TV?
