And if anyone missed it, he slashed a dinghy while a rescue worker was on board. Quite an omission BBC.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

Vile performative bullshit with a bogus rationale. A disgrace. "This week some of Britain’s most senior former military chiefs signed a joint letter to Starmer, first reported by The Times, warning that cutting foreign aid to fund defence would compromise national security."

Every single piece of evidence in the UK shows that ethnic minorities are nore pro-migratiion than white British people. Ethnic minorities like white British people have mixed pro, balancer and sceptical views but they are more liberal + softer sceptics. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

An arson attack on a Jewish ambulance service isn’t about Israel. It isn’t about Zionism, or American imperialism, or capitalism, or war in the Middle East. It’s about Jews. It’s about making British Jews feel fearful in their own homes. Just like Bondi Beach, and Heaton Park, all over again.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

You have to laugh really. It’s like discovering that the government believes that “pee is stored in the balls”.

Absolutely. An iron law of whether a statement about immigrants is true is that it should also apply if you just use the word “people”. (A test that many claims on the liberal side also fail!)

101 months since we lost our 72 The Tower is coming down, but still no justice. Government continues to drag its feet on Inquiry recommendations & there’s no progress on a National Oversight Mechanism to ensure lessons are learned. We won't stop until we get justice & change.

Without DEI, we would only make merit-based hires, like the genius strategist who decided to pick a fight with his boss’s new young wife.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

This & the rape last week in Oldbury should be national news but will be ignored by newspapers too excited at the thought they might get to play at being court press for fascists

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

it's going to sound gimmicky but I think that women shouldn't have to read the Gaiman piece but all men should read it to the end, just as all men should have read all the long reads about the Pelicot case, so many seem to still not realise the extent to which so many men hate and want to hurt us

Huh? To win back voters who don't vote for us we need to win a battle in a war they largely don't care about and when they do are mostly on the opposite side to us. 🤷
