Several texters into the show tonight FURIOUS at my assertion that if you claim to ‘love Trump’ you’re at the very least not that bothered about misogyny and homophobia, or think other things are more important. Apparently this makes me extremely divisive and dangerous…. But baffled tbh….

I never thought a comparison could be overly harsh on Stevenage. But here we are.

Since we’re apparently talking about people who aren’t the Chancellor as though they are, I’m sure in the interests of unbiased reporting the Telegraph will ‘unveil’ Zack Polanski’s, Ed Davey’s, f*ck it why not, even my plans to fill the economic black hole in the coming days….

Imagine if I wrote a piece saying ‘I’ve experienced mental illness, that’s how I *KNOW* it’s right for us to stop funding mental health services’.
That’s how stupid this headline is.

- It is entirely legitimate for the Home Secretary to highlight the overt racism that she receives for taking part in public life.
- Everybody should oppose that racism against her, whatever their politics.
- But it is important to make several other points about this argument about racism.

For those asking, this is Rod Liddle’s column in the Sunday Times. Apparently we’re in a place in 2025 where the notion that Hitler was straightforwardly an evil, genocidal despot is ‘contested’.

‘Dark forces are stirring up anger in the U.K., so I’m going to push through an asylum policy they approve of. Because famously if you give people what they want when they have hissy fits they totally behave after that’.
Here is how Home Sec Shabana Mahmood wants to try to persuade Guardian readers of her policy
"My goal is to ensure there are legal routes into this country for those who are truly fleeing peril, and for whom this is the first safe country they have encountered"
