Kemi Badenoch was on top form, ripping into Starmer over the Mandelson messages: “disappearing messages from a disappearing Prime Minister.”

Then she hammered Labour’s reckless welfare spending and their instinct to tax ordinary people to pay for it.

So hang on, even though George Floyd was nothing to do with Britain, left-wing politicians used his death to push for changes here.

But Nigel Farage talking about Henry Nowak, a Brit who died in Britain is “exploiting it and fuelling division”?

One rule for them it seems.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Labour folk accusing @Nigel_Farage and Reform of exploiting Henry Nowak's murder for political gain really need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

🚨WOW. KEIR STARMER HAS BEEN FORCED TO ISSUE STATEMENT ON HENRY NOWAK.

He wouldn't do it himself so the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle has FORCED parliament to do it

SHAME ON THIS GOVERNMENT

You've had to be FORCED to do this

They truly are DESPICABLE

[Robert Abel @rj_abel]

Jeremy Hunt, a man worth £14M, says pensioners have had “very generous pension increases.

When cost of living has risen by far more than most pension increases. Many pensioners are still choosing between heating and eating.

If this is “generous”, what would neglect look like?

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

The Speaker of the House, Lindsay Hoyle, has had to intervene and force the government to issue a statement on the murder of Henry Nowak.

This is utterly unprecedented. Shame on the Labour government, especially the Prime Minister and Home secretary, shame on you.

Astonishing.

[Robert HJ Marshall @roberthenryjohn]

The whole of Britain should be ashamed. . .

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Release the body camera footage of Henry Nowak in full.

Deport the mother who obstructed justice.

And call out virtue-signalling politicians who worship George Floyd but ignore the murder of our own people because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

[Lord Sugar @Lord_Sugar]

.@piersmorgan blocked me as he can' t take a wind up. It's ok for him to have a go at the Gallagher's over Man City not winning the PL. However when you call him out as a hypocrite he throws his toys out the pram. Some say he is a social media bully.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Labour inherited a defence budget for 2024/25 of £60.2 billion. Latest projections put defence spending at £73.5 billion by 2028/29. That’s a rise of £13.3 billion. Where did you get the £270 billion increase from? The tooth fairy? Let me speak plainly: it’s a lie — delete the tweet.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Since the murder of Henry Nowak there has been stony silence from the Government.

Not a peep from the Home Secretary.

Not a word from the Prime Minister who is normally quick to respond to deaths involving the police, both in the UK and abroad.

Remember the spectacle of him ‘taking the knee’ over George Floyd’s death? He won’t even say Henry Nowak’s name.

Henry’s death constituted a national scandal. An 18 year old, robbed of his future on a night out in Southampton after being brutally stabbed 6 times with a 21cm long ceremonial sword. Instead of helping him, the police initially arrested him as he bled to death after he was accused by his attacker of racial harassment. Henry was treated not as the victim, but as the criminal.

His murder could not have been more monstrous; the police response more shameful. 

So why has this appalling injustice been met with a collective shrug by politicians in Westminster? With the exception of a couple of us including Henry’s local MP, Jen Craft, it has not been raised in the House of Commons.

I asked the Home Secretary to launch an investigation into the police’s conduct and a debate on two-tier policing - needless to say I was rebuffed. 

The silence can be explained by the fact that most politicians are more interested in showing their supposed virtue by favouring minority communities at the expense of the majority. So they look away at injustices perpetrated by minorities, lest it colour the multicultural illusion they have that the country is a harmonious melting pot. And they ignore prejudiced laws and the conventions of so-called ‘anti-racism’ which lead to discrimination against the majority. 

The trial of Henry’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, may be over, but the questions are only just beginning.

Why did the police arrest Henry based on one allegation he had made a racial slur - something the prosecution described as a “wicked lie”?

Why was Henry’s handcuffing and arrest considered a priority for the police when he was in a critical condition?

Why do perceived racial sensitivities consistently appear to shape how the police enforce the law these days? 

The police have now apologised. But ‘sorry’ doesn’t cut it. Not remotely. Heads must roll for such a catastrophic failure. The bodycam footage must be released. And the police’s “anti-racist” training programmes need overhaul.

We can’t go back in time and undo what has been done. Henry’s family and friends will live with this forever.

But his tragic death should be a turning point. A clarion call for the authorities to act in a colour-blind way - treating people under the principle of equality before the law.

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.

🚨BREAKING:

NO RETRIAL FOR MANCHESTER AIRPORT INCIDENT.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

Ed Miliband’s ideological shut-down of Scotland’s North Sea Oil & Gas Industry is going to hand Vladimir Putin £1 billion in oil revenue.

Our own oil is right there, under the North Sea. All we need to do is drill it.

Only the @Conservatives will get Britain drilling.

28 May 1975. Bayern Munich beat Leeds United 2-0 in the European Champions Cup Final. Leeds dominated the game, but had a Clarke penalty claim ruled out (pictured) and a legitimate goal by Lorimer disallowed. The general view was that Leeds had been “robbed” by a biased referee.

Another girl, another life lost. Stephanie Irons, 23 - a clever, beautiful soul, loved by family and friends who described her as a “Bright Young Star”. Yesterday Adedapo Adegbola, 40 who came to the UK in 2022 admitted murdering her by stabbing her to death. Where’s the coverage? Where’s the outrage from the BBC and the Liberal Left? Or doesn’t she matter? RIP beautiful girl. STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! @ShabanaMahmood @jessphillips

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas.

Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.
