I'm grateful to Justin Webb on Radio 4 this morning for letting Zia Yusuf repeatedly blame all the problems of the NHS on asylum seekers without challenge, as if it is an accepted fact.

We’ll tell you what’s boring, Farage and the BBC… honking out Reform’s latest anti-asylum seeker bollox, as if it’s workable or wanted, and without any meaningful scrutiny. Yusuf on #r4today like a firehose of fascist idiocy, when this is the ugly truth behind their desperate outburst…

Mirror headline: Nigel Farage's latest announcement comes as Reform UK continue to struggle with falling poll ratings (O Gary Oakley/PA Wire) Nigel Farage hits panic button and vows to ban all asylum seekers for five years after Reform poll plunge

Vladimir Putin wants a divided Europe to weaken us. We cannot let him win. For the sake of our own security, we need to rejoin the EU.

Andy Burnham explicitly stating Russian interference influenced the 2016 Brexit referendum breaks years of deliberate political silence. Downing Street ignoring state-backed democratic subversion to protect political narratives is disgraceful. Why hide state interference? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

We keep being told that Reform are in a position to win the next general election. But almost every single time the public get the chance to elect a Reform MP, they decided against it!

Reform would suspend asylum system for parliamentary term if in Govt screams BBC online & 10 o’clock news.. But why is this news in BBC’s eyes❓ Reform have 8 MPs (LibDems 71), they’re losing one by-election after another, drowning in scandal and investigations… It’s BBC PR for them nothing less🤬

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

And what about the situation inside Georgia - the suppression of political opposition, amassing of power by one party, beholden to an unelected oligarch, arrest of peaceful protesters etc. Georgia suffers from Russian occupation, but under Georgian Dream, is destroying itself internally, too. Alas.

At last! Big congrats to all including @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
As MP I was proud to join a court case to try to force ministers to hold an inquiry into the impact of Russian disinformation on the Brexit vote & other recent elections - their lack of curiosity, from Boris onwards, was stunning …
