[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

[Ted Smith 🇪🇺 @TedUrchin]

Ask yourself why @reformparty_uk put up such a poor, flawed, and ultimately inadequate candidate?
They desperately want a leadership contest, and potentially another general election as a result.
They seek destabilisation of the UK. Make NO mistake.
Also, remember how Reform have been funded - with likely Russian money and persistent impact on social media.
Join up the dots, yeah?
Please don’t be fooled.

@dave43law Part of me wants to keep him an "MP" because at least then we can see what he's up to.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Now for the really interesting bit

If the Standards investigation finds against Farage then there is a strong likelihood that the next byelection will be CLACTON

[Imelda Finnerty @blisswords]

I agree with Charlotte, Heather and many, many others. Keir Starmer is the PM. Elected, admired, working flat out.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Agreed. 👏👏👏

We suffered, oh God how we suffered for fourteen long years
And then it happened 2 years ago, a substantial Labour victory thanks to Keir Starmer and I’ll be FUCKED if I’m going to allow Burnham, Streeting and the Left take it away from us

STOP THE FUCKING COUP

@CurtisDaly_ @MarinaPurkiss What a crass, sour faced, out of touch creature she is. Excusing DV on footy results. It wasn't my fault, guv, it was that Harry Kane wot made me do it! Behave yourself, girl.

[Curtis Daly @CurtisDaly_]

This is fucking horrific. Pochin telling England to keep winning so blokes don't batter their wives, instead of telling abusers not to abuse.

Can't believed what I have just watched.

[Lou D🌹 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇦 @louderry]

Murdochs cesspit the Times published a story Starmer had fallen out with Milliband and cancelled meetings with him, the story was repeated by hacks across the British media.

The truth

1 meeting was rescheduled because Millibrands mother had died.

Blatant isn't it.

[Martin Davies 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇨🇦 @martindvz]

Corrupt, foreign owned UK newspapers, and corrupt BBC must not decide who is Prime Minister

Keep Starmer as PM because whoever would replace him would also be hounded out of office, in order to force a General Election in the hope of putting the liar and cheat Farage into power

[Jordon-Lee @JordonLee]

Prime Minister Starmer is getting on with the job. Clear he’s respected and admired within the G7

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

🚨 £5M “reward” for Brexit… or something else?

Watch Nigel Farage himself call the £5m from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne a “reward for 27 years of Brexit campaigning.”

Now this Guardian report: Farage lobbied the Bank of England to block “Britcoin” plans that could hit Harborne’s Tether profits hard.

Coincidence? Or influence?

[Diane Short @shortdme]

@nickreeves9876 They're either thick or complicit. Or both! What vile creatures.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.

Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.

But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

Cracking tale from @tomburgis

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

So let me get this straight:

- Inflation lower than predicted
- unemployment falling
- small boat crossings falling
- NHS Waiting lists falling
- Interest rates stable
- Asylum hotel use falling
- net migration down 82%
- school attendance up

And Keir’s doing a really bad job?

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

If the press and telly ignore this one as much as they have tried to ignore so many of his other scandals we will know for sure we live in a two tier media country

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

The seven victims were aged 12 and younger. The "systematic" and "shocking" child sex abuse crimes - committed by a group of women and men - took place over nearly a decade in Walsall and Wolverhampton

The 21 were jailed for over 190 years between them
