Some might say that if Ed Davey's Lib Dems hadn't been so quick to prop up (and legitimise) David Cameron for five years in return for a few ministerial magic beans the UK would be in a very different place now...

NEW: My @thehousemag.bsky.social cover i/v with Lib Dem leader @eddavey.libdems.org.uk In the face of criticism from within his own party, he tells me the Lib Dems are ready for govt & he's the "most experienced" leader to take them into a hung Parliament & prevent a Reform/Tory coalition 1/8

Sir Edward Leigh MP: “What is happening in the West Bank... is ethnic cleansing... I am proud to say, as the longest-serving member of the Conservative Friends of Israel, that I absolutely and fully support what [Ed Miliband] is doing today, because it’s about standing up for freedom and justice"

Look at this insulting drivel. Do you believe Badenoch is speaking in good faith? Of course she fucking isn’t: she’s a crackpot and she’s trying to reboot the idiot horseshit of the late 2010s, *because that worked*. Draw your own conclusions about anyone who joins her in spouting this bollocks.

Settlement trade ban is de facto boycott of the Jewish state - and cannot be squared with claim to fight antisemitism

I'm sure Kuenssberg will have pressed Farage firmly on this. 😂 Not what you want in a potential PM. "I didn't hear the American president say he wanted Greenland because I was a bit off-colour." "I must have missed when Putin told me he'd launch a cyber attack on the UK. I'd had a late night!"

Farage announces that he'd call a national emergency and over-rule the judiciary and parliamentary system if he wins the next election, but his take on Hitler's enabling act fails to make the front page of the UK's Der Stürmer...
