Boris Johnson didn't apologise to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, even when she told him in person the lasting impact his comments about her had on her detention in Iran, her husband tells the BBC

Johnson is a feckless and nasty piece of work. That the country ever elected him Prime Minister is to our eternal shame. Too many wanted a comedian and a clown. We lost 200,000+ people during Covid due to his laziness and ineptitude. Shame on us.

“People died who could have been saved. These deaths are facts that cannot be denied. And I will never forget what I saw.”
The COVID enquiry shines a light on the abject failure of the UK’s public health response - too little, too late.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Who remembers when rishi sunak gave everybody buy one get one free dinners at the height of a pandemic when we were all supposed to be isolating?

Who remembers the country's biggest super spreader event being state-sponsored, and the media claiming it was safe?

All those journalists - led by Kuenssberg and Peston - who cheer-led Boris Johnson into Number 10 should be hanging their heads in shame today, and retiring tomorrow.

Macron locked France down on March 17th, Johnson was threatened by Macron & he reluctantly locked down a week later.
Italy locked down during the night of 7th March 2020 and the major hospitals in Lombardia and Veneto were telling Europe to take notice, to lockdown, not to wait. Johnson waited another 10 days, but God forbid that Brexit Gov should listen to Europeans.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Le Monde has the text of the 28 point US/Putin plan for Ukraine. Negotiated without any involvement from EU or Ukraine it turns out to be a surrender document which grants Putin a victory without consequences. What does Putin have on Trump?

It's not a price cap if you keep raising it. It's just a way of setting prices that all energy providers will use, instead of encouraging market forces and competition to push them down.
Ofgem is not fit for purpose.

Sadly the most vulnerable communities in our country have wished this disaster on themselves. They might learn that it's not immigrants who are making their lives miserable, but greedy arseholes like Farage and Tice.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.
