Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two state solution, the UK formally recognises the State of Palestine.

Ian Martin is no longer on Twitter but you can find him on bluesky. Each year for Mothers Day he asks people to give him the name of their dead mum and he will read them out in his local church. I’m not a religious person but I think there is something profoundly beautiful in

Starmer: "The Leader of the Opposition has been an MP for eight years... I can't recall her once raising this issue [child sexual abuse]." Badenoch: "As a minister, I would not have been speaking on this specific issue." Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. #PMQs

This is the Shadow Justice Secretary. In his very first tweet in the role, he has chosen to lie to you. Keir Starmer did not let Jason Hoganson out early. Hoganson was serving for domestic violence. DV is specifically excluded from the ‘release on 40% of sentence’ scheme that Starmer’s government has introduced. As a result, he was released at 50% of sentence instead. Which has been the release provisions for quite some time. Anyone want to guess whose party introduced 50% release? These lying fuckers just cannot be trusted.
Meet Jason Hoganson. Jason was jailed for hitting his ex-girlfriend. Keir Starmer let him out early. Within hours of his release, the police got another call, saying he’d assaulted her yet again. Now he’s on the run. Who could have seen that coming?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jason Hoganson was released at the half way point of his sentence. Releasing prisoners at 50% of sentence served was Conservative Party policy. The early release scheme was brought in under the Conservative government due to lack of prison spaces bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… amp.theguardian.com/society/articl… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… amp.theguardian.com/society/articl…

Trump's policy is to introduce huge 20% tariffs on foreign goods to "protect American factories and production". America is our biggest export market so when that happens.... It's remarkable how right wing hatred of others is bigger than the damage they will do to their own

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

No matter what else happens during Labour's time - these are the Conservatives. Having a right laugh. While ordering the nation not to visit dying relatives, sit down in a local park or have family visit. Repugnant entitled gargoyles who want you now to forget this.
They partied while people died, never forgive, never forget, start prosecutions.

It's just been announced Nigel Farage is once again in the USA on another jolly. The good people of Clacton however are still waiting for their MP to set up a constituency office, to agree times and places for a surgery or even establish an email address or phone number.

Felt very unsexy because I ate an unhealthy amount of Wingstop takeaway but then I remembered that Danny Dyer’s character would say, “Go on, girl,” and fancy me even more, so I’m alright.

Clarkson farms a third of his land and ultimately bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax. That's why he's so annoyed.

Strange that Jeremy Clarkson is so annoyed about something that doesn't affect 87% of farmers, but which closes a loophole that allowed very rich people to buy farmland simply to avoid inheritance tax.
Replying to @DanNeidle
That's why, if we look at the stats, 87% of inherited agricultural property used less than £1m of APR and so will remain completely exempt. Almost half the £1bn cost of APR went to 63 estates of median value £8m. Doesn't seem great value for money for the taxpayer.

Geoffrey Howe never ran a business, Nigel Lawson never ran a business, Gordon Brown never ran a business. None of the most feted Chancellors in history did. Neither did Thatcher or most other PMs.
A chancellor who has never run a business and reports to a prime minister who has never run a business and is advised by civil servants who have never run a business - is about to advise business owners how to run a business.
