"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."

Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM

Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

🚨 JUST IN

Military shipments heading from the United Kingdom to Israel have been halted in Belgium.

​Belgium has banned planes carrying military equipment destined for Israel from landing on its territory and has also prohibited the use of its airspace.

[The Rev. Anton Mittens 🌹👮🎓 @MittensOff]

Well done to Max Wilkinson from the Lib Dems (and others) in Parliament today calling out Farage for ignoring the wishes of the family of Henry and using their tragedy to stoke hate and division. Hear also the shouts of 'rubbish' from the Reform benches; shame on them. #ReformUK

Nigel Farage asked people to respond with "pure cold rage” today.

Here you go, Nigel.

Looks a lot like incitement.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel Farage has yet again incited riots on the streets of Britain, and now police are being attacked.

‘Cold hard rage’

He should be held to account.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

If your summer holiday is delayed because of Brexit EES restrictions, remember Farage got paid £5 million to make you stand in a queue.

[Candice Holmes @hol40900]

IDS warns welfare is heading for the rocks. He doesn't mention the crown costing you £1.5bn a year. Or Andrew's £150m security.

Same system. Different targets. They always blame the poor. 👑

[KoH @pinguforest]

I’m old enough to remember when Michael Gove, Priti Patel, Matt Hancock, James Bethel, Lady Mone and Rishi Sunak were at the heart of a VIP scheme to procure £9bn worth of useless PPE from companies with no experience.

Now, about the camper van …

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Farage is sick.

He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him.

Farage is scum.

This is extremely shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this.

🇦🇺 filmmaker Juliet said: I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.

They also used water torture and beatings.
