My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

What has Paxton done for YOU lately? #VoteTalarico #VoteNov3rd TALARICO 👍 APPROVED.

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

Russians just struck the CHP-5 power station in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Energy truce already over. Putin couldn't even wait until past dinner.

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

Kuenssberg couldn't sleep last night, imagining how she would spring "Santa Burnham" on the PM. She is crestfallen that he actually has a cogent answer, that is not a version of "it's true, poor people are wicked and must be punished".

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Has Stephen Cooling been arrested yet, or is this a case of the two-tier policing Farage and Yaxley-Lennon constantly go on about? "Protect are wimins" lads, remember?

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

So it looks like Reform policy chief James Orr has straight up broken the law here. It's also exactly the same crime Farage has been accused of re: George Cottrell donating via his mother and which Parliament is currently investigating.

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

Farage’s ludicrous minions selling what’s left of their souls for coins, while either not knowing or caring that their boss secretly trousered five million for his ‘personal use’. He makes absolute twats of everyone who trusts him. And this James Orr character is supposed to be some sort of genius…

And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

“As he was sworn in again on Tuesday, Farage told GB News that he planned to spend less time in parliament“ Not a physicist but don’t know if this is actually possible.
