Received two emails today - one from France saying that electric bills are going down "to follow the global trend of falling energy prices".

I received another from my UK supplier telling me that prices are going up "due to the global cost of energy".

We're being taken for mugs

BREAKING: Donald Trump in his latest interview was clearly having a difficult time making sense and getting his words out. It’s becoming clearer by the day that Trump is mentally in decline. Retweet so all Americans know Trump is too senile to be President

"We tried very hard and for a very long time but the passports were the straw that broke the camels back"

This is the part of the podcast that the tabloids decided not to quote in their articles about me "dumping my puppy"

People have been furiously reacting to a deliberately distorted cobbling together of quotes designed to make people angry and as a result, I've received some really abhorrent messages including death threats, some of the most disgusting comments have been all over my social media channels, and i'm really not surprised because this is exactly what those articles are designed to do.

I'm ok but it has been a really tough few days that has impacted me and my family.

We rescued our puppy Mary from a shelter in NY and we loved her very much, BUT she developed pretty severe separation anxiety and would act out in all manner of ways. She couldn't be left alone for more than 10 mins, she had 3 long walks a day 2 by us and 1 with a local dog walker and several other dogs, we worked with the shelter that we rescued her from and they referred us to a behavioral specialist and a professional trainer, it was a volunteer from the shelter who would come and dog sit her when we were away, and after many months and much deliberation everyone was in agreement that our home wasn't the best fit for Mary.

The person that she was rehomed with was known to us and that rehoming happened within 24 hours of her being returned. We couldn't meet Mary's needs and her happiness and welfare were central to us making that decision, as difficult as it was.

I've had rescue dogs pretty consistently throughout my life since I was 4 years old, I'm pretty good at ascertaining a dogs needs, I have never been accused of mistreating an animal, and I've found this whole week very distressing.

Please stop acting on clickbait articles when you haven't done your due diligence, I know that people sending horrible messages hadn't listened to the podcast but had been reading the Mail Online and the follow up articles and videos that followed, I could tell by the language they were using exactly what their sources were.

It is distortion, and all you are doing by engaging with these stories is making more money for people who profit from sewing division and tearing us all apart. In the same way that misinformed people acted on distorted propaganda that led to the racially driven xenophobic riots we've seen recently in the UK, it's just all so toxic and I know that we can do better.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is currently breaking down because Kamala Harris called him weird. It would be a shame if you retweeted this so every American saw this senile meltdown.

So, this absolute weapon suspected a local Travelodge was housing illegal immigrants and he let rip about it in a Tweet, but it turned out it was NHS nurses and their families on holiday. Reform UK, what a Party, eh?

[Conor O'Neill @conoraon]

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

Genuine question. Can the UK get the money back which was paid upfront to Rwanda? Or is it written off into the abyss of Tory financial mismanagement?

“I’ve passed Reform’s vetting process and I’m standing in Wigan?”

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

Can I be honest with you? I didn’t want to start the programme talking about the Conservative claim that a Labour Government would cost you £2,000 in extra taxes.

It’s obviously been disputed. Not just because it’s cumulative rather than annual – but because it’s based on an awful lot of assumptions, with some of the conclusions even being disowned by the authors who did the research.

But look – I’m being sucked down the rabbit hole now too.

There are two reasons I don’t want to talk about the £2,000 claim.

The first is because the Conservatives WANT us to talk about it – because even if we’re discussing the fact the number is being disputed, we’re still talking about Labour putting up tax.

But the second reason is even more important.
The parties are both arguing about whether each others sums add up.
Well… they don’t, do they?

Both of them are promising they won’t raise income tax, national insurance, or VAT – three fifths of the total tax revenue. Nobody wants to borrow other than to invest. Health, schools and defence are all ring fenced from spending cuts in some form.

I genuinely don’t understand how this all adds up. Not even close.
Public spending projections after the next election have been described as a “fantasy” by economists – the tax burden is set to hit a historic high - and we’re spending more on debt interest payments than education.

Forget about the quibbling over a few numbers here and there. Because it doesn’t seem to me like ANY party is being honest about just how difficult it will be after the election… and the kind of choices that the next Government will have to make – no matter who it turns out to be.

“How much has tax gone up under the Conservatives in the last parliamentary term per household?”

Bim Afolami: It's difficult to calculate

“According to @edconway taxes have gone up £13k. £2k under Labour sounds like a bargain in comparison, doesn't it?”

Thank you. I am most honoured.

Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇 https://t.co/nxs9qD7u6d

I dunno. Vote Leave’s Facebook ads were pretty special, mate.
