Will every Tory MP have had some kind of what's app deletion shenanigans by the time the GE rolls around? As a collective, they haven't had the best time with it!

He needs to resign completely, not just from a committee. It doesn't really matter who was asking the question (could well have been Russia or similar) he should have known that handing over a) a dick pic and then b) a load of MP's phone numbers wasn't going to end well!

I think future generations will look back and ask why we were so relaxed about politicians & smart phones. It so clearly impacts on their focus & productivity & relationships.

Time to restrict them to basic Nokias.

"Times reports Rwanda has now sold to private residents 70% of the 163 homes in new housing project funded by UK government as part of UK-Rwanda migration partnership. Braverman visited a year ago, tweeting the project was one "people seeking refugee would come to call home""

So the Government have built homes, just not here.

Rwanda has done well out of all this.

David Cameron meets Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in first summit with senior British minister since former president lost election.

Foreign Sec is there to lobby over support for Ukraine. Unusual situation, despite what FCDO says…

Trump is dead against more aid to Ukraine (i wonder why?) and DC called Trump stupid and a fool.... will be an interesting meeting!

Rwanda has its own refugee issues with more coming there from Sudan and C.A.R.... safe country? mmmmmm

I suppose it shows that they're taking the 'threat' of Trump becoming President seriously, odd move though.

Alan Bates is giving evidence in the Post Office scandal inquiry today

Braverman is on LBC today

Nick Ferrari: You've no concern that some of the Israeli action could be illegal

Suella Braverman: I very strongly rebut suggestions that Israel is in breach of international law, that there's a genocide.. Israel is doing a tremendous amount to minimise civilian casualties

#LBC

Surely no one actually believes that?

There is also still a problem with planes for Rwanda

I don't know Jess, reading some threads on it, I think some people really do believe it.

Oops

After I tweeted this thread, the Home Office phoned me up and said I was lying.

It's scary when a Bin head says more sensible things than a human 🤔

The Westminster honeytrapper surfaced as far back as Labour conference in October 2023.

Attendees say it was the first time they were messaged by "Charlie" on Grindr and his profile appeared nearby, not through the "explore" function.

A Labour politician was also messaged on WhatsApp. "Are you at conference this year?" and "Are you still out?"

Rishi Sunak is out delivering leaflets today with Susan Hall.

I wonder if he is wearing a plastic ring and no watch like Kevin Pietersen

File in the "No shit sherlock" category.

Good news for Labour ahead of the GE but it made me angry about austerity all over again.

I think the line is that Trump holds power over the Republican's blocking the aid to Ukraine bill?

Yes I suppose that would apply too @tobee

Although I see Farage is priming himself to be a link between Starmer and Trump. So that's all good then:-

God. Sometimes I wonder where we would be if that plane crash had turned out differently....
Hope starmer tells him to foxtrot oscar

The comments on that article were very encouraging.

I couldn't get past this:
Nigel Farage has suggested that he would be willing to work alongside a Labour government as a trade envoy if Donald Trump becomes US president.
He's not really got his finger on the pulse, has he?

Deluded.
