Absolute car crash of an interview.
I’d argue that appearing on Gogglebox to raise money for a cancer charity was a more productive use of one's time than ranting on LBC.
'Is that a really good use of his time?'
'Raising money for a cancer charity?'
The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

If I wrote an argument this disjointed on an exam I think they'd expel me.
CLAIM: The ICE agents wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces. There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents.
FACT: This illegal alien was the subject of a targeted enforcement action. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.

My point is that you are the only signatory to support the motion. All others either opposed or abstained. And given the (poor) statement was clearly intended by the other signatories to mitigate damage from passing that terrible motion, it makes no sense for you to have signed.
Qwhite interesting to pick me out, Tom 🤔

Mothin Ali was highlighted because he supported the Green Party motion declaring Zionism racism (passed 1022-813), unlike most other signatories of the joint statement who opposed or did not back it.

The Green Party adopted a shameful policy today. This is what happens when a party is flooded with tens of thousands of members in a short period of time without evolving its governance and processes.
I’m worried for Green Jews and what signal this policy sends to extremists.
No, thank you. I voted for decent politics rather than a $5,000 scam.
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!

This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval.

More than 12,000 people complained to Ofcom over hateful comments made by GB News about LGBTQ+ people.
I raised this in Parliament and asked what will be done to make sure those complaints are taken seriously and hate speech is challenged.

Dear @MarkJCarney we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.
And create a common prosperity and economic security space.
Damn! This is huge for both the EU and Canada. With Australia having expressed a similar interest, the UK really needs to get its act together and rejoin.

Camden is my home. I'm standing to give back to the community that gave me everything.

🚨 WATCH: Angela Rayner says Nigel Farage's donors are his "sugar daddies"
"If Farage will do you a Cameo for £70, just ask yourself - what he would do for seventy million?"
