Please! Is there nobody who can make this virtue-signalling bollocks stop?
Why does he think we give a monkey’s what he thinks?
He has zero qualifications/knowledge to opine on such matters.
He’s ‘sorry’ the world is not a better place than it is. With that sort of penetrating philosophical insight an Oxbridge professorship must surely beckon, toute suite.
He’s just reading a vacuous script his wife wrote for him.
If we had a whip round couldn’t we pay for them to stay in Montecito? I’d contribute.

Heartsick at the death of Rod Liddle - an outrageously funny and gifted writer with a beautiful conversational style. He had a unique talent for finding the thing that was obviously true but supposedly unsayable and then saying it with such panache as to give the maximum possible offence - and to all the right people. Spectator readers absolutely loved him.

There's a serious crisis within our prisons that Labour inherited. Eary release is probably the only feasible solution in the short term. But I struggle to believe that somewhere within the system there are not two people who could be let out before these scumbags.

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

Rod Liddle, a Sun and Sunday Times columnist ( but at his best in the Spectator) has died at 66. He leaves a wife and three children.
Sun editors were often concerned his views would lead to problems with advertisers so effectively barred him from writing about Islam or trans. Quite wrong.
When Emma Tucker was Editor of the Sunday Times she tried to have him sacked as a columnist because he was white and Right.
Really great credit to owner Rupert Murdoch who blocked the sacking with Liddle ( he joined in 2005) lasting a lot longer than Tucker who was moved to the Wall Street Journal.
Loved the statement from his children who said; “ He raised us much as you might imagine, to be inquisitive, brave and always humorous.”
A free spirit in a controlled world. RIP Rod.

Nauseating hypocrisy. You and your party’s green mongering over the years have driven BP and others away. You gave virtue signalling priority over jobs, families, communities. And now you express concern for them. Pass the sick bag. Scotland is truly run by a kakistocracy. But Scots only have themselves to blame. They keep electing self-serving numpties.

No reservoirs built.

No prisons built.

No extra hospital beds.

No potholes filled.

Highest taxes for 70 years.

What are we getting for our money?

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

No one is stopping Gary Lineker setting up charities or giving his money to good projects? I’d love to see what he’s given to charity verses what JK has? The ‘doing’ not the virtue signalling of saying is very revealing. Watch what they DO not what they say measures a person

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Gary and the other millionaires who want to pay more tax are perfectly entitled to do so. Here’s the link 👇🏽

Why are they demanding that the government makes them pay more?

[Mike Graham ���🇧 @Iromg]

There’s about 300 men arriving on the south coast illegally mate. What are you doing about keeping us safe from them?

[Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons]

Absolutely brilliant from @NickFerrariLBC

[James Price @jamespriceglos]

I’m done with allowing people to insult my ancestors like this.

No other group of people on Earth would allow their forebears to be insulted like this.

🇬🇧 My ancestors were the first people in history to fight to end slavery.

🇬🇧 They spread the common law across the world.

🇬🇧 They stopped Indians from burning widows alive so that they wouldn’t have to pay to feed them after their husbands had died.

🇬🇧 They stood alone against the Nazis.

🇬🇧 They invented and built the modern world with technology and medicine that started to defeat death and disease.

🇬🇧 They invented economics and democracy as we know it.

My ancestors were great people. Without them, the world would be an immeasurably darker, more wicked place.

Never again let entitled actors who known nothing about anything browbeat you into feeling shame for your ancestors.

Britain, and Western civilisation, are the greatest expressions of human flourishing in the history of the world.

Be proud of the ancestors who fought and toiled and sacrificed for that.

Don’t ever be ashamed of the greatness of our inheritance.

Live up to it.

😬 Ed Davey left squirming on Sky News as Sophy Ridge dismantles his fantasy polling claim.

Watch the Lib Dem leader tie himself in knots when pressed on his bold assertion that MRP polls would make him Leader of the Opposition.

Sophy: “You’re not calling for an election now?”

Davey: dodges, then claims “if you look at some of the polls, I’d be leader of the opposition.”

Ridge wasn’t buying it: “What polls?”

Davey mumbles about unspecified “MRP polls… over the last few weeks” that supposedly give the Lib Dems a ton of seats.

When Ridge points out yesterday’s MRP had them in 4th on 12%, Davey flounders: “No, no, I’m talking about seats… where you get the vote share of 12%… er into seats.”

Ridge snaps back: “I know what an MRP poll is. That was an MRP poll.”

Davey ends up admitting he can’t name specifics, just “a lot of MRP polls… giving us an increasing number of seats.”

I felt embarrassed for him 😂

There’s not a single poll on this planet that puts Ed Davey anywhere near official opposition, and he knows it. That’s why he couldn’t name one when Sophy pressed him.

That man lives in his own little world 😂🙃

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Richard Hermer lied to the BBC, claiming Reform wants migrants to “drown” in the Channel.

He used lawfare to hound British troops who had done no wrong, in one case pushing him to attempt suicide.

He compared Reform to Nazis

He is no longer Attorney General.

Good riddance.

[Stuart Grant @StuartGrant68]

@AllisonPearson Yes, I picked up on that.
I can only conclude that he mis-spoke.

[Tony Blair Institute for Global Change @InstituteGC]

Tony Blair's tribute to Kevin Keegan.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Desperately sad news. Kevin Keegan RIP. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. Wonderful football man, wonderful man. I wrote this in January when news of his illness was first announced. RIP legend.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The very worst Prime Minister of the very worst Government.

Good riddance.
