I oppose Trump not because I hate America, but because I love America.

A true leader should unite the people, not allow the country to be torn apart by anger and lies.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Mahmood: Organised illegal working is a pull factor bringing people to the UK on small boats.

Evidence: The way asylum seekers are treated presents an opportunity for organised illegal working.

I would argue that £3,500pm in rent does benefit her financially and in order to recieve that income she should have done due diligence- or just look at the council website. Perhaps all MPs should be barred from being landlords.

Rachel Reeves set to pave the way for Labour to break its election pledge not to put up income tax, VAT or National Insurance in 8.10am speech.

Massive political gamble by the chancellor.

The Political thinking series has been trailed as more personal and getting to see the politicians as people.

This then being used and this isn't the first time as an attack source in another programme is disingenuous. Information is being taken out of context and misused

When we said we don't intend to be concerned or disappointed by the Labour Government - we intend to replace them, we meant it.

Yougov have Labours lowest poll ever and Greens highest ever.

Keep going everybody.

All she needed to do was compare Nigel Farage to Donald Trump — a comparison that holds up easily. Even Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, General John Kelly, has described him as a fascist and said he admires Adolf Hitler.

It’s no exaggeration to say: vote Farage, get Trump. #r4today
Zarah Sultana there, giving a weak definition of fascism, and quoting - AAARGH! - "legitimate concerns".

As much as I dislike all three of them, one has to feel a tad sorry for Sultana & Corbyn that Hypnotits has completely destroyed any realistic prospect of them launching their hard/far left party.

The Greens have become the defacto home for those of a hard or far left persuasion #R4today

Nick if you’re so incredulous that we have modern day fascists in our midst, why don’t YOU buy a dictionary?
“Neo-fascism includes ultranationalism, ultraconservatism, racial supremacy, right-wing populism, authoritarianism, nativism, xenophobia, and anti-immigration sentiment.” #r4today #Farage

PR advice to any new party spokespeople:

If you’re invited on to the BBC to talk about what you want & hope to achieve, whatever else don’t mention ‘Farage’ or ‘fascism’

… or that’s ALL the presenter will bloody well want to talk about!! #r4today

I have sympathy with some of her policy positions, but I can't help feeling Zarah Sultana has bitten off far more than she can chew.
