If I skived Parliament on a day when issues affecting my constituency were being discussed and instead flew off to another country where I spent my time slagging off my country. I would rightly be dubbed a lazy, anti-patriotic waster. Just saying.
Appearing on Radio 4 this morning to comment on the government's proposal to remove judges from the asylum appeals process, I was followed by Jo White, Labour MP and chair of the Red Wall Caucus, who referred to immigration lawyers and said: "you see the ambulance chasers out…

"This is unlike anything we've ever seen before." The Atlantic's David Frum on the "sick psychological dynamic of what President Trump is up to" with proceedings like the FBI raid on former national security advisor John Bolton. #Newsnight
A moment to enjoy - the Daily Telegraph's 12 best things about living in Britain. In at number 4 - the National Trust. We come in after Test Match Special, cream teas and the coastline. For once I won't be seeking a correction or apology from them.
New analysis from @csjthinktank today is certainly eye-catching but how much does it reflect what happens for people claiming social security payments and the people who @TrussellUK support? 🧵
What a vile comment. What kind of person chooses to make a living by posting bile like this?

One of the most important things you can do right now in Liverpool is message kin to say you are ok.
That was the reset that was. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog evaluating the framing and content of the UK-EU reset Summit, political reactions to it, and what it says about Labour's post-Brexit approach to the EU: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/05/that-w…
I just don’t see why Labour don’t feel you can be both tough on immigration while being compassionate in how you talk about it. Some example language that avoids divisive, populist nastiness 👇

Mysterious „overnight attacks“ continue occurring in Ukraine. The U.S. ambassador is clueless about who could stand behind such horrible acts.
Mysterious „overnight attacks“ continue occurring in Ukraine. The U.S. ambassador is clueless about who could stand behind such horrible acts.
Last night, the Russian army struck the center of Dobropillya in the Donetsk region with two ballistic missiles. After our emergency services arrived at the scene, they launched another strike, deliberately targeting the rescuers. This is a vile and inhumane intimidation tactic…
All night, a rescue operation continued in Kryvyi Rih at the site of a Russian missile strike. A ballistic missile struck an ordinary hotel. Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization – citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom – had…
Quote from a Ukrainian on the BBC World Service this morning: "If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends."
I and thousands of my fellow service men & woman went to support the US in Afghanistan after 9/11. (Two of my guys never came home) and we never asked for anything in return. How dare you post this. We have supported Ukraine more than the US has. You are pathetic.

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times. But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD
