RIP Rod Liddle. I didn’t agree with you assaulting your pregnant girlfriend, but I always made sure to read your columns about how you’d like to fuck school kids and how Muslims are ontologically evil

Defend Our JuriesNEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court.

#OnThisDay 1966 England win the World Cup final at Wembley, beating West Germany 4 - 2. However most have forgotten this as the English, a famously humble race, rarely mention it.
Here we go again. 'He COULD be a social democrat. Let's err on the side of caution and call him antisemitic to be on the safe side.' I wonder if Steve Reed supplied the dossier. Again.

Twice during an interview on the BBC’s #Today programme, Katya Adler referred to an interviewee “from a left-wing thinktank”. I have NEVER heard the programme refer to anyone as “from a right-wing think tank”, though it pretty much exclusively goes to right-wing think tanks for their opinions.
Anas Sarwar in 2022: "The House of Lords must be abolished and replaced with an institution which better reflects the make up and the identity of the UK"
The only upside of that appointment is that it’s made my decision about whether to switch my vote back to Labour a lot easier.
Given the only substantive change in cabinet is from Blairite bob-cut to Blairite warhawk as chancellor, you kinda understand why the media has to pretend to be excited by the prospect of Burnham's regional accent and ability to deliver a speech without a lecturn.
If the price for a bit of mild social progress is more racist crackdowns led by Mahmood, that’s not only a catastrophe for migrants & their families, but also a catastrophe for the chances of all of us of resisting the far right
If Andy Burnham wants to end rough sleeping he will need to change his approach to No Recourse to Public Funds, which enforces destitution, and is the single biggest cause of rough sleeping (in Scotland, anyway). But that would seem at odds with his support for the asylum bill last week.
John Kay and Chris Mason talking about the Downing Street cat. This is only possible due to the unique way the BBC is funded.
