Who better to lecture people on the immorality of fare dodging than Robert Jenrick, the man who overruled a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

We fine parents when they go on holiday during term time, why don’t we fine politicians who holiday when parliament is in session?

I see Nigel Farage is speaking at the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas. Last week Farage was on holiday. This week Farage is grifting in America. Man of the people they say… Man of the billionaires more like. Wake-up!

Melanie Phillips had a misleading column in @thetimes yesterday Claiming "net zero targets" have driven up energy prices, when actually it's the cost of gas Here's a letter in this morning's paper challenging it.

Reminder that Farage described Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-Budget (the one that sent mortgages spiralling) as “the best Conservative budget since 1986”

This is staggering. Real wages have grown more in the first 10 months of this Labour government than during the first ten years of Tory governments since 2010. And not one apology from Conservative MPs for the mess they left us in today - shameful.

There’s another Clacton town board meeting tomorrow, guess who won’t be there again. Farage hasn’t attended any meetings as part of his responsibilities to his Clacton residents 👇👇👇👇 tdcdemocracy.tendringdc.gov.…

Apart from the NFFO (fishing lobby) I can't see a single business/group that does not welcome the UK-EU reset. BCC, CBI, IoD, UK Steel, UK Hospitality, British Meat Processors Association, Morrisons, BAE Systems, Salmon Scotland(!), Port of Dover.

How will people react to all these right-wing creatures from the deep lagoon extravagantly damning the modest EU ‘reset’ wearyingly rehearsing all the tropes we have learned to despise? It might even improve Starmer’s ratings. At least he is sane.

... and while we're at it, another good point @adamparsons makes from Bucharest👇 "and I have to tell you, whereas before Brexit there were countries with a growing EU-exit movement, the desire has fallen across the whole bloc because they don't think it's worked out for the UK"

It was an honour to meet His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican this morning and to offer congratulations on his inauguration. I was humbled to represent the UK at today's Mass.

UK media will not show you this pie chart of Reform’s local elections ‘success’. Reform is ‘1’ in this chart.

This morning is Reform’s peak moment By this pm LibDems and Greens will perform well in the South. Nigel Farage has undoubted political talent, but he is starting to sound like the pub bore. A good Labour government could see him off - but it must live its values and deliver.

Stand by for 24 hours of Farage promotion without scrutiny. You have to hand it to him- to be a politician who gets treated like a commentator celebrity is a real achievement. But only possible with a media that prefers spectacle to scrutiny, and major parties that have never properly hung the Farage realities - Brexit, Trump, Putin, economic illiteracy and extremism - around his neck

Dear Reform voters, This is what you’re choosing to vote for: Violence against women. Racism. Xenophobia. Transphobia. Homophobia. Fraud. Violence against a female police officer. Tax dodgers. A private limited company. Not a political party. You are most welcome!
