Andy Burnham attacked the Conservatives’ plans to cut £36bn from welfare spending, suggesting that cutting benefits would force people to turn to crime. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Labour succeeds in getting Dapo Akande elected to the ICJ. Acting for Zambia in Mauritius’ 2019 case at the ICJ, Akande supported the motion calling for the UK to give away the Chagos Islands “as rapidly as possible.” He argued the case was “about the international law obligations regarding decolonisation” and that it should not be seen as a “purely bilateral dispute.” Akande, a legal scholar at Oxford, also advised the Corbyn Labour opposition in 2018 that the UK’s bombing of Syria did not comply with international law following the notorious Douma chemical attack. He additionally co-authored an article arguing that triggering the Trident deterrent “would not be acting lawfully” and would be “neither necessary nor proportional for either repelling an on-going attack or for stopping an imminent one.“ Oh, and he praised the “brilliant” work of Julian Assange’s lawyers to the Kremlin mouthpiece Sputnik.

I remember when everyone was jumping ship to Reform. It was the popular thing to do at the time, and most people were expecting me to go too. Of course I thought about it. Most people joining were very similar to me ideologically and I’ve always respected Nigel. But I have never been one to just do the easy thing and follow the crowd for a quick win. I could see that Kemi was taking the Conservative Party is a genuinely new - and crucially conservative - direction. As a conservative I’ve always felt like the Conservative Party should be where I belong. After years of being let down and disappointed, I finally feel like we are getting somewhere. And as the polls tighten and Kemi continues to shine, I am reminded that sometimes in politics, it’s worth playing the long game.

He’s losing his feel, which is interesting. He also overestimates what money and organisation can achieve, which is also interesting.

To come after any slaving nation for reparations - Dahomey, Mali, Zanzibar, Khmer, the Comanche, the Ashanti - would be wrong. To single out Britain, which distinguished itself through selfless abolitionism, is utterly bewildering.

This is a straight forward lie Wes. You know what i said was both Labour and Conservatives hollowed out defence. Be man enough to admit it. Lies dont hide your own record. The last government to spend 3% of GDP ( without all your treasury tricks) was a Conservative one. MOD now spends 2.2% GDP and you are cutting day to day spending this year and next. many veterans, like me who served under a Labour government never forget the Snatch Landrover scandal. If you want to be taken seriously as a Defence Secretary stop playing child like politics. Earn your respect by sticking up for the armed forces, fighting the Treasury for real funding not spin and be honest about Labours part in hollowing out. At the moment your fake claims on 2.7% GDP coupled with under funding day to day spending are a perfect example of hollowing out. @haynesdeborah @larisamlbrown

🇨🇦 Canada’s message to russia: You don’t get to bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your juniors to play hockey in Alberta like civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Juniors. Not under your flag. Not under any other. Period.

Errr it was actually 35%!

🚨BREAKING: The John Lewis Christmas Advert 2026 has become one of the worst reviewed in the stores history The comments on YouTube have been TURNED OFF There are currently 5 times the dislikes as there are likes The Plot: - Entitled children ignore their Grandmother, won't even hug her - She tries to give them nice, simple, meaningful toys to play with, they ignore her - She goes to John Lewis to buy expensive toys - The kids now love her It's an awful message featuring a diverse family as always

Totally agree. It’s possibly the worst advert I’ve ever seen for anything. Would actively dissuade me from going to @JohnLewisRetail - what on earth were they thinking?

Okay. So tell me. What can a local councillor in Penn Hill do to 'Protect our NHS', which is a nationally funded and organised organisation (with NHS England disappearing). Even the current ICBs are completely dominated by NHS appointees. This is electioneering vapourware

Good grief, but the John Lewis Xmas advert is AWFUL. It's basically an advert for buying gifts for ungrateful kids with terrible parents. The grandchildren are just plain rude. The parents don't notice or care. So the grandma decides to splash the cash on gifts she thinks they will like - so rewarding their rudeness! If I had a kid who behaved like that, they wouldn't be getting a single gift on Christmas Day. Not one. Oh, and of COURSE the ad has to feature a mixed race family (who make up 1.3% of all British families yet about 50% of families appearing in TV adverts) because, y'know, diversity. It's all so bloody irritating. 🙄
