Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

While Piddington dominates the news, at Leicester Crown Court this man was sentenced today Ivan Jennings, a former Conservative councillor, called for terror attacks on small boat migrants and Muslims and shared target ideas, telling fellow white supremacists to kill as many “subhumans” as possible

Steve Reed on 25 March explaining that the £100k cap on donations "will therefore apply retrospectively, so it includes all donations from overseas electors received from today". Yes, but how are people who never bother going to Parliament supposed to know that?

Reform is attempting to rabble rouse to avoid scrutiny of their actions and the campaign for caps on all political donations - share this to stand up for this debate and protecting our democracy from the crypto billionaires.

Reform don’t do the job. Rob Kenyon, #Makerfield Reform UK candidate was elected a Wigan councillor a month ago. He’s not attended a single meeting or done a single piece of work on it. Nigel Farage was elected MP for Clacton. He’s spent 2 years anywhere but Clacton.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Policy changes create winners and losers It’s a truism that losers complain more than winners are grateful But we’re on a ludicrous path if those who lose out from policy decisions demand and then get compensation That’s a recipe for nothing being decided ever

Somali referee Artan barred from entering US. I know there is no official union for FIFA referees but is it too much to ask they all get together and refuse to referee a single match before Omar Artan is let into the US to do his job? Makes a mockery of FIFA’s ‘say no to racism’ campaign.

Burnham said it would be “disrespectful” to the voters of Makerfield to start speculating on what he might do if he became prime minister. (FT)...Is this the same Burnham who is promising that once in No 10 he will cut taxes on pubs, hairdressers and anyone who will vote for him?

Nadhim Zahawi describes Nowak as someone "who lost his life because of incompetence". Greg Dyke points out that nobody is saying the mistake by police caused the death. Phillips intervenes with "nobody knows". A lack of basic research on a very sensitive topic. Paragraph 16 of sentencing remarks:
The pathologist, Amanda Jeffrey, found 1200 ml, or over 2 pints, of blood there.
She said that no emergency medical treatment would have permitted access to
the bleeding vein. In simple terms, he would not have survived, however quickly
he received first aid, CPR or expert medical treatment.
