Madness. Putting solar panels over car parks, as is required in France, makes every kind of sense. It generates clean power, provides shade to the cars, and protects countryside from solar farms. But the Government has inexplicably rejected it.

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

The same week that @RupertLowe10 put out his bullshit ‘rape gang report’ falsely claiming Muslims raped 250,000 white girls & same week @elonmusk amplified it on here, this happens. Is anyone surprised?

They’re inciting violence against Muslims and emboldening extremists.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It is difficult to overstate just how dumb, ignorant, stupid, the people who currently govern the United States are.

Here is the Homeland Security Secretary claiming that the unionists & loyalists in *Northern* Ireland ‘want to be Irish’ & want to be in Ireland. Pure ignorance.

Referee Omar Artan was given a hero’s welcome as he arrived back in Somalia after he was denied entry to the US 🇸🇴

A GB News presenter repeatedly insists "there weren't riots" in Belfast last night... 😳

This is what GB News advertisers are aligning with 👇

The people responsible include not only Elon Musk but all the politicians who have played the race card & stoked anti-migrant racism.

After coordinating the harassment of Brummies in Stirchley on Thursday; ending with a hit and run perpetrated by ‘Raise The Colours’ thugs. Flag-Fascist Ryan Bridge’s big day sucking up to Tommy Robinson’s over before 11:30am

Should show this on a big screen in Stirchley 👍😁

Isfahan, Half of the World. At the end of the 16th century, Shah Abbas made it his capital and totally transformed it. With the immense wealth he brought to the city, Isfahan became home to some of the most beautiful architecture the world has ever seen.

[Gary Younge @garyyounge]

The emergence of ‘family voting” as an issue and “democracy volunteers” as a force over the last two hours does not just smack of desperation. It’s a dangerous slur on an entire community and a disgrace on those peddling it.

[Tim Whewell @BBCTimWhewell]

After 36 yrs Pritesh Patel’s news stall on #Brixton tube station closes today. London has ever fewer good newsagents. And Pritesh is irreplaceable - so well-informed (thanks to #Radio4 in his ear!) that for years I have tried out story ideas on him - and valued his judgment.

[Helen Shaw 💙 @HelenFShaw]

@BBCTimWhewell Said goodbye yesterday - a touchstone of Brixton life for the last 30+ years.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.

It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.

Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine."
