I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

One of the most intense and profound moments in history. 11am on the 11th November 1918 when the guns fell silent. This should be shown in every school.

This is the video Nigel Farage doesn't want you to see. In fact, I bet he'd pay millions to have this video erased from the Internet's memory, if only such a possibility existed. This isn't a blunder or a mis-step. It's a statement of faith - a declaration of Nigel Farage's core

We have just received an #EVRI air mail parcel. We were sitting having lunch when this parcel flew past the window. The #EVRI courier had thrown it from the gate to the door which was 5 metres away!
