Vance: “I don't think most Americans are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans”

Nope. How ill judged to go on I’m a Celebrity for two weeks as an MP…

Ah, they’re at it again!

The Times article with the heading “Two Scottish private schools close citing Labour VAT plan”

What do we think? Is the plan that hasn’t been enacted yet to blame for these closures?

Maybe….. Let’s take a look 👀

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

[Ali T. @Ali3Mctavish]

Yet another reminder to James Cleverly that there were ZERO small boats before Tory Brexit when we were part of the Dublin Agreement.
This is a Tory manufactured problem.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Just Boris Johnson, who refused to cut short his holiday when riots broke out, criticising someone who chose not to go on holiday.

Today's NHS data release shows that the number of patients waiting more than 12 hours in A&E, after the decision to admit, is worse than ever in 2024.

Every single month in 2024 had significantly more 12 hour waits in A&E than any previous year on record.

[stuart mcdonald @ActuaryByDay]

This is an alternative presentation of the A&E waiting times data.

Current >12 hour A&E waits are simply on a different scale from what we saw a decade ago. Back then 40 people was typical, not 40 thousand!

Those in power who have enabled , encouraged and incited the violence are just as culpable as the angry mobs on the streets.
It’s time to tackle the violence and the hate preachers in politics, the media and think tanks

Spare us the faux outrage Robert and the leadership contest “serious face” bull💩
And use this awful moment to reflect on your language and conduct and what impact it’s had on where the country finds itself.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

My friend @D_G_Alexander might not thank me for saying so (tho I don’t know from sure) but I do think @MhairiBlack is a big loss to Parliament. And she is absolutely spot on here. Like a summary of Chapter 5 of But What Can I Do? … the threat of fascism.

[Politics For You @PoliticoForYou]

🚨 Some people did try and warn us that fascism was around the corner.

[Marc Owen Jones @marcowenjones]

1/ 🧵Just did a network analysis of the "far right thugs unite" hashtag. It largely seems to be a simulated scandal/outrage to promote the Reform Party and Nigel Farage and - while also being an attack on Keir Starmer.

Never even liked tennis anyway.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Every so often @JohnJCrace is deadly serious, with deadly effect.

This - on the way in which @Nigel_Farage baselessly & despicably incited hatred - is outstanding. https://t.co/YlvVIkJPFd
