I find it hard to understand why people who point out divisiveness that is already there, are considered more trouble than the people who created divisiveness in the first place

[Annunziata Rees-Mogg @zatzi]

The government isn’t governing.

Starmer is PM in name only.

Every day they stay they make our country less safe.

Burnham will only make things worse.

We need a general election

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I wonder what sort of people make a decision like this

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Maliq,

We all see Muslim scholar and clerics telling us all that Islam will take over the UK, that infidels will be killed, that wives will be beaten, that child marriage is desirable, and that Female Genital Mutilation will be allowed

All of this is quite contrary to British tradition

Why do you pretend this is not going on ?

We are not all complete fools...

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The Economist really has lost the plot: this is exactly the de haut en bas contempt for plain folk that fuels the rise of the Right it affects to be so concerned about.

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

The pattern is the crimes, which you seem to think people should just endure.

[Lewis McKenzie @LewisMcKenzie94]

Another week, another FMQs in which John Swinney has spent his time getting angry rather than answering questions put to him.

He hates the idea of scrutiny because he arrogantly thinks he is above it. Dishonest John has zero integrity.

[Ben Habib @BackBrexitBen]

After the horrific attempted beheading in Belfast, Labour’s answer is to amend the Online Safety Act and force social media platforms to remove content faster during “times of crisis”.

Not fix the border. Not answer the public. Not restore trust. But instead censor the reaction. They do not want answers, they want total control.

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

4 times Labour MP Hilary Benn was asked if he considered beheading an alien culture, 4 times.

The answer is very simple, yes it is, it should be unthinkable in a first world, civilised country.

Yet here we are, the reason why is because people like Hilary don’t see these issues.

[Agent P @AgentP22]

The SNP and Greens have slammed the door on transparency and bolted it from the inside.

Holyrood is clearly riddled with corruption.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

The most brutal line from John Healey’s resignation letter:

“You have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.”

Starmer’s own team are telling us that he is an unfit PM.

[David Wolfson @DXW_KC]

Faced with a choice between a Defence Secretary who wanted to spend more on our armed forces, a Chancellor who wouldn’t, and an Attorney General who enjoys suing them, the Prime Minister decided he could do without … the Defence Secretary.

[Graham Grant @GrahamGGrant]

🔴 NEW Police officers in Scotland are receiving the same race training as the Hampshire cops at the centre of the row over murdered student Henry Nowak, on ‘white fragility’ and unconscious bias 👇

I have been on the housing waiting list since 2009.
In 2023 my family was made homeless when the council bought the house from our private landlord that we had lived in for 14 years.
3 years of homelessness has followed.
My old house is now being used to house Somalians.

John Swinney and the SNP have and will always put foreign born illegal immigrants before Scots.

And the fuckwits who support them clap like a bunch of circus seals.

[Theo Bertram @theobertram]

A defence secretary has never resigned in this way. Fox, Heseltine, Profumo - all resigned over scandals. To resign because the PM would not pay enough to keep the country secure - unprecedented.

[Innes McGarry @InnesMcgarry]

Embarrassing mince from an increasingly irate John Swinney.

Scotland is not the SNP.

Scotland's institutions should be scrutinised by all of our politicians - it's their job.

[aluxui 1 @xzllkx]

Around £14 million to put unnecessary and useless cycle lanes in Byres Road Glasgow
Just so that a kebab shop can store its bins on it.

What a f..King shambles.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

The woman David Lammy wants to choose our judges says they should NOT be appointed on merit alone.

She thinks diversity should determine appointments.

She must not be allowed to run the Judicial Appointments Commission.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

What does Liz Kendall mean by “illegal content”?
People pointing out that governments which allowed mass uncontrolled immigration have made our country a lot less safe?
Pointing out sex criminals and terrorists are granted asylum?
Well?
