"Hegseth thinks it's a good idea, in a country which has a genuinely sick relationship with gun violence, to broadcast the state killing people via firing squad." The US will livestream an execution for public viewing in a "pathetic and grotesque" new low for Trump's America

"The Greens' 'Zionism is racism' vote was a blunt instrument which has cost Zack Polanski dearly." The Green Party leader lost the Holborn & St Pancras by-election. Can this be blamed on the vote Polanski missed at last weekend's party conference?

"Democrats will have power to launch their investigations into whether what has happened has been lawful or if there needs to be prosecutions.

“This will make the last two years of Donald Trump's term in office utterly miserable."

Is Trump's time up?

“It would be a seismic shock in American politics, signifying that the high watermark of Trumpism is now in retreat.” Donald Trump has made his third visit to Texas in four weeks - is he starting to panic that the ruby red state will be taken by the Democrats in the midterms?

@thenewsagents.co.ukOct 8, 2026, 10:47 AM

"Donald Trump is clearly scared enough that he is actually visiting places on his weirdo tour of America that he should never have had to worry about."

Is Trump killing his own party’s midterm chances every time he opens his mouth?

“Presumably this was meant to be a funny joke: ‘Haha, let’s destroy the libs - literally, with a big Iranian bomb’.” Why is Donald Trump encouraging Iran to “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego?

"There is no political figure in Britain that gets a better press than Kemi Badenoch right now.

"The Tory press are manifesting a Tory recovery. They're desperate for it to happen," says @lewisgoodall.com.

Is a Badenoch bounce real, or has the right wing media made it all up?

@thenewsagents.co.ukOct 7, 2026, 2:49 PM

"Kemi is trying to push Reform and Restore out in the corridor as the 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴." The Tory leader used her conference speech to call out the ethnonationalism of the parties on her right, telling Reform voters to "come home". But will they?

“You can trust Donald Trump to walk into a situation and automatically make it worse.” Donald Trump has said the 'Cornell 7', who are alleged of gang-raping a woman, won’t get a “fair shake”. Why’s he involved at all?

"This kind of trauma takes time to process. Your mind shuts it out, so you need people to help you piece it back together." "That’s what she’s doing on this phone call, and they’re gaslighting her." The ‘Cornell 7’ case is posing questions about life for women on US campuses.

“People knew our finest hour was fighting Nazism. It’s not very British to be turning on a tiny minority", says Jonathan Freedland. Will the electorate take Polanski seriously in the upcoming by-election after the Greens pass the ‘Zionism is racism’ motion?

@thenewsagents.co.ukOct 5, 2026, 5:31 PM

Zack Polanski’s absence from the ‘Zionism is Racism’ vote “doesn’t look like leadership, it looks like cowardice”, says Jon Sopel. "If Polanski wants to lead the party, he should lead in support of the motion. "If he opposes the motion, why isn't he leading in opposition to it?"

@thenewsagents.co.ukOct 5, 2026, 4:31 PM

"The leads to Andrew are not going away, there may be more of them than we currently know about..." Andrew's "brazen" legal action against Thames Valley Police suggests he thinks he's in the clear - but @maitlis, just back from the US, suspects otherwise.
