Daniel Hannan has been spectacularly wrong about everything to do with Brexit, so this is hugely encouraging for all #RejoinEU voters.

The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees.

I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events.

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press."

Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

We need real action from the Prime Minister on Europe, not more hesitation. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to strengthen our economy, cut living costs, and boost defence by rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and working with European partners on security.

These issues cannot wait.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

If Tennessee executes Christa Pike next week, she'd be the first woman executed by the state in more than 200 years — for a crime she committed when she was 18 nearly three decades ago.

Governor Lee must spare her life before it's too late.

I have written to the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, urging her to create a “Westminster Crime Unit” within the National Crime Agency, to investigate political finance. The legislation in the Representation of the People Bill does not go far enough. We need a fair playing field.

Israel has been found guilty today in Geneva of war crimes including extermination, forcible transfer, starvation, torture and false imprisonment, sexual violence including rape... and many more

If it was any other country than Israel all of Europe would boycott them.

Instead there will be silence

Fantastic news that Enhertu is available on the NHS in England. This drug can give some breast cancer patients months, even years, more with their loved ones.

It's a huge win for patients and campaigners who never gave up.

AI is used for almost everything these days. Even emails.

This progress has been unprecedented.

The Liberal Democrats have long called for stronger ethical regulation on AI to keep people safe.

A big step forward for disabled young people and their carers today: the House of Lords passed our law to make it easier for them to access their Child Trust Funds.

This has been a long battle for me and many parents. I really hope Labour MPs don’t overturn our amendment.

There were three senior Reform men involved in those conversations.

Two of them have been kicked out, the third is Nigel Farage.

Reform have clearly accepted what happened here was wrong. So surely the buck stops with Farage?
