Saying that Zionism is racism is like saying Communism is totalitarianism. Both are 19th century ideologies that generated wide sympathy and were seen as progressive, and when put to practice to create and reshape states, created enormous injustice. 1/

Andy Burnham is definitely wrong on some key issues: refugees, far-right groups, the continued proscription of Palestine Action. But it does make a nice change to have a PM who is not wrong on absolutely every issue, and is actually decent on quite a few.

He's already here. He's the refugee detained for simply seeking asylum from political violence. He's the Palestinian being bombed. He's the hungry kid no longer getting SNAP benefits.
He's the sick grandmother no longer getting healthcare. He's the homeless arrested for sleeping outside. We will be judged by him by how we treat them: Matthew 25:31-46. It's a broken Christianity that threatens people with Jesus' return while refusing to recognize him in the faces of those who are suffering.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Jesus was a refugee, who fled to Egypt to escape King Herod. He praised the Good Samaritan - someone who helped an outsider. He said "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." You can't be a Christian and anti-migrant.

Reform "wants young people to be more patriotic." My daughter cares about her country. She felt that it would be better if we stayed in the EU. So age 14 she went on her first protest in 2017, an anti-Brexit march in Leeds. A woman wearing a UKIP badge told her, "People like you should be hanged".

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events. He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF. It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event

I sometimes worry the tendency not to look beyond the headline has created the clusterfuck that is today's UK. An article with a central premise it's hard to argue with becomes a maelstrom of hysterical overreaction, starting with the inevitable 1984 reference and escalating from there. 1/3

I can only, personally, assume that Jon King and the Express editors are now actively supporting far right violence when they consider pillows, bedding and toilet rolls as "jaw dropping" to provide to people seeking safety after fleeing war and persecution.

Farage rejected offer of tax-payer security because he “wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary who has the highest level of protection among govt ministers” Yet, on and on he whines. Demanding the highest public office with none of the scrutiny. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security
The Reform leader's spokesman told The i Paper it was a downgrade on the state-funded security he had previously received
13 July 2026, 3.10pm 

Nigel Farage, who is routinely accompanied by bodyguards, has claimed to be "the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times"The i Paper has learned he was offered a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, car and trained driver supplied by private contractors.
The offer followed a July 2025 review by Parliament's former security director Alison Giles, and specified that it could be upgraded for more high risk events.
The royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec), responsible for the security of the royals, the prime minister and the home secretary, was brought in to help assess the threat faced by MPs in February 2024.
One parliamentary source claimed Farage was unhappy with the offer as he wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary, who has one of the highest levels of protection among government ministers. This was denied as "false" by a Reform spokesman who said the leader did not make specific requests.
