I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America. There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.

Bloody hell, this is an excellent piece from @wonkhe.bsky.social Well worth reading. It's complicated, but reveals something quite shocking in the devolution settlement. I really hope the devolved administrations take note and push for change: wonkhe.com/blogs/the-tr...

This is what political bravery can achieve. Thousands of lives saved, tens of thousands of hospital beds not occupied, countless days off work not taken. Sadiq Khan stood up to the critics, the doubters and the bad faith experts and made London better. A true leader.

Scotland's Reform manifesto is opposed to the SNP government in Scotland "welcoming uncontrolled immigration from the rest of the UK". www.reformparty.uk/view-pdf/sco...
We were promised a country like that by the architects of devolution in 1999. But for the last
20 years, the SNP have created a welfare economy which punishes aspiration and success.
They have presided over an NHS that 93% of Scots think needs major reform. They have
traduced our revered education system from outstanding to average. There are chronic
shortages of affordable housing such that councils across the country are declaring housing
emergencies. They have allowed strangers to be prioritised ahead of Scots, welcoming
uncontrolled immigration from the rest of the UK. And they have supported Net Zero resulting
in our energy prices being seven times those of China and four times those of the US, deindustrialising our country that once hummed to the sound of machinery, the once beating
heart of the Industrial Revolution

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)
