Government, what are you waiting for?

Nathan Gill’s sentencing should be the final wake-up call for Britain to take the threat of Russian interference seriously, says Ben Bradshaw

The BBC’s silly and unnecessary editing mistake does not change the FACT that Trump encouraged and inspired the violence that led to death and devastation on Jan 6 after he LOST the election. That should be made clear in all communications to his Mafia style lawyers and to the public. He has zero case and that should be communicated with absolute confidence, with the full and voluble backing of 🇬🇧government. And all those who are encouraging and exhorting a foreign felon leader to take down one of Britain’s greatest institutions should never have the gall to call themselves patriots again. Thank you for your attention to this matter

"The BBC is infected with a left wing bias" says Nigel Farage, who has appeared on BBC Question Time more than any other politician this decade (38 times) and many times before he was even elected.

On a long metro trip across the city now and the whole way a middle-aged lady has been dancing to the music on her headphones, totally unabashed. Imagine if there were a carriage on every train you felt you could do that on every morning to and from work 💃🏽🕺🏽💃🏽

I'm honestly surprised. Any one of these jurors could have hung the jury, gone public, and been set for life as a right-wing media darling. Book deals, speaking circuit, position in a future Trump admin, whatever they wanted. But all 12 put public service over personal gain.

@JoJoFromJerz So much winning, or so much whining? When will someone of quality step forward to lead the Republicans?

One year ago today. It was an imperialist war of aggression then. It’s an imperialist war of aggression today.

Left: Rishi Sunak, "It's important elected politicians are careful with their words and do not inflame tensions"

Right: Andrew Marr, "Here is what Suella Braverman thinks and I quote: The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the antisemites are in charge now. They have bullied the Labour party, bullied our institutions and bullied our country into submission"

"Every aspect of that statement is untrue.. The notion that Britain itself has been bullied into submission is both hysterical nonsense and profoundly offensive to this country"

"The only reason that Braverman's wind and piffle matters is because as the Conservative party begins to fragment into the right, conspiracy theorists, who want us to have a blazing culture war about ethnicity and immigration, are being encouraged by politicians who should know better"

"Because around the question of race, a fire has started to smoulder. And in terms of what MPs say, the only thing that really matters, is whether they are bringing a can of water to it, or a can of petrol"

@BorisJohnson I’m glad someone is flagging up some positives from Brexit. The problem is, they come from a wholly unreliable source of factual information.

The Truss Awards FFS. Can we just do away with resignation honours altogether?Just because you give money shouldn’t get you a gong. Keep them for people who serve their communities and make distinguished contribution to public life. NOT hacks and political grifters

@eliistender10 First Christmas back home without Dad. For months we were reeling, while getting on with life, while dealing with moments of raw grief in private. Acceptance is beginning to creep in now among other emotions. Proud of my Dad in so many ways. Will this help for the longer haul?
