Man I love my country 🇬🇧 On the train today, two girls without tickets started kicking off at the conductors, calling them 'fat slags', 'fucking lesbians' and all sorts. A non-white foreign passenger steps in, so they start firing racist abuse, telling him to 'go back where he came from' and that Farage & Anderson will 'sort his lot out.' Then half the carriage jumped in to back him and the conductors, including an old white man who could barely walk, but wasn't going to let that stop him from giving his two pence. The police were called, and a few of us checked in on the conductors. When all was said and done and the train was moving again, the old man got up and turned to the foreign man and just said "cuppa?" and honestly, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Absolute class act from everyone and a reminder that the vile vocal minority do NOT represent our great country. Call me naive, but I truly believe our country is better than the horrid politics of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson etc, and when push comes to shove, when shit hits the fan, we know who we are – and man, it really ain't that, no matter how hard people like Farage try to make it so.

@JEBooksHull @UnionMashUp @RussLitten It doesn’t look as though I would need to book, is it just a ‘turn up on the night’ event please?

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

When trying to introduce or uphold a school rule (eg no smartphones in class) some staff push back saying, ‘you’ll never be able to stop all of them from having one, therefore this rule is unworkable’.
But that misses the point about managing group behaviour:

1. Teaching people what to do and why, has a big influence on them
2. If your boundaries are monitored as much as possible and consequences are extremely consistent and predictable, then deterrent is maximised
3. Vast majority of students will conform in this circumstance. Only high-defiance students will not.

The behaviour has been minimised, which is the goal. The analogy is with drivers obeying the speed limit. Most will, most of the time because they know what to do and why- they believe it is the right thing. Knowing there is a potential penalty for not doing it, strengthens the resolve. But we don’t expect police to catch every speeder.

Little did we know when we held the first Big Iftar in Parliament - @SayeedaWarsi’s idea - nearly a decade ago that we’d be here holding the Big Iftar in Westminster Hall with the Prime Minister. A historic first.

JD Vance dismissing Britain as ‘some random country’ which hasn’t ’fought a war for 30/40 years’ is beneath contempt. British forces fought alongside US troops in Iraq (twice) and Afghanistan. In recent years. Is he stupid? Or just ignorant?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an extraordinary leader. A man who has for three years been coping with his own ongoing trauma, whilst carrying the hopes and fears of his traumatised people, stays strong as he is shouted down by two bullies.

[Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green @MPIainDS]

The spectacle of President Trump and Vice President JD Vance bullying President Zelensky was absolutely shaming. In the office that once housed Roosevelt and Reagan and in the shadow of Churchill’s bust, this unseemly row is beneath the office of the US President.

I have just returned from Ukraine near the front line and both Trump and J D Vance should go and see the appalling devastation that I have seen, inflicted on Ukraine by Putin.

As Putin smiles at this row, Trump must restore diplomatic decency and meet Zelensky without the media circus. What a shameful spectacle…
