I want to - weave, knit, grow vegetables, read, paint. I got rid of a tory government! Now #FairVotes and #RejoinEU. Looking forward to starting my retirement again one day, but not just yet... Now unretired and working for an MP. Wasn't expecting that!

BBC Question time:

For the second consecutive week, QT have included a prominent Liberal Democrat MP: Josh Barbarinde last week, Calum Miller tonight.

Both have done well - articulate, thoughtful and to the point.

(Also notable - no Reform on the panel).

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Jair Bolsonaro, former president, to begin serving his 27 year sentence at the Federal Police headquarters—

I find myself simultaneously envious & hopeful the #Trump regime will find a similar moment of accountability

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

The sitting president is a stochastic terrorist.

That is what he is and and has always been.

Had any other president called for the execution of his political rivals, it would have ended his presidency.

But it is the nature of the GOP to trample every norm and boundary in defense of their Great

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’ve just listened to Zelenskyy’s address to the Ukrainian people.
My opinion?

This man knows what is right.
Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the current US administration.
Zelenskyy made it clear: he wants a decent peace. We all do.

Decent peace is not capitulation.

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.
