@BethRigby So Nigel Farage is ON RECORD saying he would hate to have to visit Clacton every week. AND that he cared more about the US election than ours. Can that get more air play please.

@Lewis_Brackpool Absolute rubbish. NO ONE has the right to invade a sovereign country just because they don't like the choices of other sovereign countries. You have just said any country can invade another country if they feel threatened and an agreement has been breached.

@PippaCrerar "I was right" means Truss DID crash the economy. This is manna from heaven for Labour. And against all the RW talking points trying to deny Truss crashed the economy Voters don't care Sunak now in charge, they blame Tories for their woes (and Sunak just gave them reason).

@PippaCrerar Simon Case once again looking decidedly vulnerable. I think he realised if he released this, it would be game over for him. He's already on the hook for Raab, Sharp and was fined in Partygate. The report would have just put even more spotlight on him.

@brucemcd23 @mrjamesob As a Vicar in London for 20 yrs I can tell you churches have been vandalised in London every year, for years. Not once did Nigel Farage ever complain. No Christian, who has actually read the bible, feels someone vandalising a building is an attack on their faith, nor culture.

@Peston 12 points behind to be precise, 10 points behind Starmer as best PM, and with a minus 35 approval. Not popular.

@spectator But voters did NOT get a chance to hear this in 2016 & (knowing he'd slept with a porn star and paid hush money to keep it secret) defeat him at the ballot box WHY? Cos Trump committed a felony to keep it secret. It's not a Witch Hunt if the person on trial is a criminal.
