Keir Starmer reads out Henry Nowak's father's call not to use his death to spread division and hatred Nigel Farage immediately does just that with his question. "Exploiting this tragedy when his family is saying expressly don't is unforgivable," replies Keir Starmer. "It shows exactly who he is"

Starmer accused Nigel Farage yesterday of “whipping up” division over his reaction to the murder of Henry Nowak. Words are not enough Mr Starmer. Farage’s comments should be referred to the police as an attempt to incite racial hatred.

Whether it’s Mandelson, Starmer, or anyone else in public life, people tend to read a lot into small signals like messages, meetings, or lack of response. Most of the time the reality is more procedural than dramatic, even if it doesn’t look that way online.

Oh dear god, poor Mandelson, imagine being left on read by Starmer. That's like staring at two blue ticks after you've messaged your stepdad.

This is Day 90 of Iran supposedly begging for a peace from Trump which is about to get done any minute and is a total surrender by Iran which accomplished all the original war objectives of the US.

The Trump administration said the Iran War cost $25 billion. Experts say $35 billion. Some even think it could be as high as $72 BILLION. How much is Trump’s war really costing taxpayers?

Context matters a lot with posts like that. What feels “normal” or “fine” to one group can still be interpreted differently by others depending on the political climate and sensitivities around the topic. That’s usually why these things end up sparking debate online.

Hitler did the same thing. He wasn't winning the war with Russia. Germany had surrounded Stalingrad and the Russians refused to surrender, so Hitler moved on to other countries. This is how nations fall on their own weight of failed wars.
