Reform might take a couple of seats at the next election but I do not see them doing well here. Nigel is in Scottish terms a gobshite

It makes moving to Scotland very tempting.

I also think Scottish politicians get a very bad press in England when they are far better than English politicians.

My uncle lives in Scotland and almost died recently, however, his hospital care was incredible, far better than it would be in England.

Mariella Frostrup: "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do. I find it quite shocking ...I think it's a shame that we allow Reform to set the tone and the agenda in the way we talk about illegal immigrants an asylum seekers"

Thanks for posting these clips so I don't have to watch QT. I literally can't do it to myself anymore.

"leave the ECHR so we can treat them like animals, and chuck them back in the sea" to paraphrase that great intellect and Johnsonian spunk receptacle, Nadine Dorries.

I assumed wrongly that, because Mariella Frostrop wrote a column for The Times, she would be right wing.

What a lovely surprise, I wasn’t expecting her to be the token decent person on the #BBCQT panel.

Lady in white, "There aren't any illegal immigrants in Poland"

"But in the UK, you can come in, any time, go to hotels"

"There are English people, veterans, in the streets, like I saw in Swindon today"

*Fact check: in 2024 roughly 17,020 people applied for asylum in Poland* #BBCQT

Apparently, Speaker Mike Johnson needs to be sued in order to do his job.

By not swearing in Rep. Grijalva, he's silencing over 800,000 Arizonans.

This is clear disregard for the democratic process.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors?

How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?

How can we let them ziptie little children?

This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.

There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!

Don't be silent!

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment.

Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Not enough votes in Congress to impeach/remove.

No will in the Cabinet to invoke the 25th.

For the sake of the country, we need to make him as irrelevant as possible.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.
