This interview took place on my show yesterday, and we were utterly gobsmacked in the studio. Heartbreaking yet infuriating in equal measures

@RobertBuckland Delighted they’ve chosen you as you’ll leave no stone unturned which is what the family deserve.

This was one of the greatest speeches I’ve heard from today’s politicians. It was, as has been said, titanic. Please do listen to it.
It is difficult to understand how anyone could have still felt, after hearing it, that removing a fundamental protection we all have against our often highly politicised State is the right thing to do.
This will be a source of shame and embarrassment for the 304 MPs who chose to do so. But there are many more stages to go before it becomes law, and it is still possible therefore that some of the 304 will see sense and force the govt to yield.

Women like her are the ones people should actually look up to, not these unhinged celebrities we see nowadays.

What a woman 🇺��❤️

Well done @KemiBadenoch 👏👏

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect.

I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his Shadow Cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative Party.

The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, they’re seeing too much of it in THIS government.

I will not repeat those mistakes.

@CotswoldLadyB @UKCopHumour Well done for posting. I’ve seen the police firsthand and article so right - the good, the bad and the ugly - like society itself. But on the whole. Our police are the good guys.

Panorama spent seven months undercover in the Met. We've cut all of that down to 59 seconds: the journalist admitting he saw countless police officers doing an excellent job in the toughest of circumstances.

Because that’s the reality. Policing is about extraordinary individuals doing incredible work in impossible situations. The police are the public and the public are the police. They’re not higher beings. They’re people from every walk of life who put in an application for a job. Yes, it’s a job with huge responsibility, but it’s still drawn from the same pool of society as every other workforce. And that means you’ll see the good, the bad, and the ugly reflected within it.

The best vetting in the world won’t tell you what someone might say when they’re in a pub with a journalist asking leading questions. Not that that excuses behaviour shown in the programme for one second. What was said was shameful and beneath the standards of any decent human being, let alone a police officer. But every time something like that is aired, it makes the job so much harder for everyone else who still has to walk out the door and put on the uniform the next day.

And of course, what you’ll never see is a journalist spending seven months undercover just to show you the good. You won’t see them filming officers comforting victims of domestic violence, or taking a neglected child to McDonald’s because they haven’t eaten in days, or holding the hand of someone dying in a road traffic collision, or knocking on a door at 3am to tell a wife and children that daddy isn’t coming home. You won’t see them filming a van full of officers, young and old, big and small, driving at midnight into the middle of a pub fight, knowing full well they could be hurt but going anyway so that others don’t.

That’s the reality of policing. And it’s worth remembering, whatever the headlines, that the vast majority are out there trying to do good in a world that doesn’t often want to see it.

Really looking forward to your forthcoming, career ending interview with Peter Mandelson regarding his exceptionally close relationship with Epstein.

When can we expect it?

Oh…wait…

@BBCMorningLive Disappointed in the segment on cough Dr R did not highlight all you need to get lunch cancer is lungs! Just mentioned smoking - perpetuating that myth lung cancer self inflicted!! I was diagnosed at 55. Stage 4. Never smoked. RAISE AWARENESS. PLEASE.

[fionuala foley @FionualaF]

@RobertBuckland @cityoflondon Congratulations ❤️

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The Tory performance is clearly dire, potentially catastrophic. But, remarkably, Labour’s even worse in its own way. Labour was defending seats it won in 2021, when it performed appallingly (Starmer almost resigned it was so bad). So defending from a very low base. And yet it still managed to lose around two-thirds of its seats! Amazing.
