Trump’s little ambassadors. All day long. Standing up for the draft dodger who said our forces avoided the front line. Campaigning on grooming gangs while ignoring the rape claims against Trump. Taking top dollar to slag off the UK at every turn. If that is patriotism I’d love to know what treason looks like.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Well 1,061 certainly didn’t stay ‘a little back’. That’s the number of non-American NATO troops who were killed in support of US actions in Afghanistan.
He really is ungracious, ignorant and uncaring on such matters. Especially unbecoming from someone who managed to avoid military service himself.

America’s allies and business leaders need to understand this:

There’s no diplomacy with Donald Trump.

Get off your knees and grow a spine.

The real weakness of the BBC, as exemplified by recent events, is its failure to stand up to ludicrous claims from the right that it is somehow hugely biased to the left. Listening to Telegraph journalists bleat about a biased BBC, or Reform MPs enjoying more platforming than any minority party in history, underlines that. This is the work of right wing journalists and owners working hand in glove with right wing forces inside the BBC to undermine it. The Labour government needs to help the BBC stand up for itself and clear out those forces that want the BBC to fail.

I just watched aid workers bombed live on TV as they tended to the wounded at a Gazan hospital that had been bombed just moments before.

The bullshit concept of a “rules-based order”

Of International law

And the notion that the West holds any moral high ground

…dies with those brave souls.

5 journalists among 20 killed by Israel in strike on hospital -Gaza officials say. They were documenting the suffering, the bombings, the starvation until their last breaths. Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri was operating a live camera at the time of the strike ( one of two).

He wonders why people hate him.

Putin and his murderous thugs are watching this and laughing their heads off. Trump and Vance are singing his songs at the top of their voices. “This is going to be great television” says Trump. All he cares about. Was talking to Michael Woolf earlier today. “You have to remember he is a reality TV star,” he said. “All he cares about is attention. And together get ratings you need conflict, conflict, conflict.” As for Vance … vile. Zelensky is a great man being treated to Mafia style bullying, intimidation and extortion. Europe has to stand up as one when Zelensky arrives in London on Sunday.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Mafia boss in the Kremlin. Mafia boss in the White House … Europe has to stand up big time here. This is an epoch making moment. #StandWithZelensky

Alastair Campbell to Nigel Farage: “I’ll tell you what you are, you’re somebody who will exploit any problem going for your own political ends. Brexit was a fundamentally damaging thing for this country. It’s made us poorer, weaker & it’s hit our standing in the world”

How many farmers will actually be affected by the changes to inheritance tax?

@DanNeidle does the math...

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

Dear @BBC ,
You are leading #bbc news with quotes from what Labour politicians said about Trump. But even right wing Tories said similar things. Why don’t you mention that too?

Not all politicians are the same.

We’ve bagged a good one here.

After the last several years this is pure poetry.
