@VetoCampaign Why are you wasting money with this campaign? It's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!

@gwynedd8364 @YuriABezmenov @zetzugami @jacktparnell Immigrant from where? Please let me know so I can update my birth certificate.

@gwynedd8364 @YuriABezmenov @zetzugami @jacktparnell I absolutely do not care how many judges or police constables are any ethnic group. As long as they're promoted on merit. Unlike you I don't view the world through the lens of race.

@socialdoomocrat War with Israel and India isn't very green. But that doesn't stop Green activists constantly demanding both!

@gwynedd8364 @YuriABezmenov @zetzugami @jacktparnell What does "50/50 white and Muslim" mean?

Sounds like racist ignorance to me, Muslim isn't a race. Many millions of Arabs, Turks, Persians, Kurds, Bosnians, Albanians etc. are both Muslim and white.

@JSLondonLDR Zoe Garbett is a disgrace. She's known nationally for her slimy behaviour. I'm shocked that people in Hackney can't see through her!

@nypost What's racist about the fundraiser? She's a victim of a harassment campaign and is the victim of this situation.

@RupertLowe10 Thank you for all the fantastic work you're doing in parliament. Every patriot in Britain is thankful for it (even if they're in different parties and can't publically say) 🇬🇧

@_Reaganite_ Why should we? Why are we telling these countries what to do? This will just generate animosity against the west. I don't care what domestic policies these countries have.

@sarahpegg9 I don't know of any ban affecting pro-Palestine literature?

Britain is one of the few European countries not criminalising holocaust denial so a lot more of that kind of literature is legal here than in other European countries.

Labour exposed, their donors make clear who is funding them. Helps to explain a lot of their otherwise illogical policy decisions. Read Paul's great breakdown here. ⬇️

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

Sagal Abdi-Wali has just filed her first register of interest in Parliament, revealing who funded her election campaign in the Holborn & St Pancras by-election where she defeated Zack Polanski.

And they stink.

They are from sources with strong historical ties to Labour Together. And through one of her key donors, Sagal is linked to investments in companies like Palantir and Elbit Systems and Boeing. There is something completely broken about how the reporting regime for donations works that we're only finding this out now, after the election.

The returns show that Abdi-Wali had two big donors: Daniel Luhde-Thompson and his wife Cressida Pollock who donated jointly, and Green Britain Group Ltd, the holding company of Dale Vince's Ecotricity. Both donated £50k to the campaign.

Daniel Luhde-Thompson is mega-wealthy. He is one of the co-founders of the quant-trading hedge fund Quadrature Capital. Quadrature, whose holding company is registered in the Caymans, donated £4m to the Labour Party during the 2024 General Election.

It was the single largest donation Labour had ever received. But nobody knew this fact during the election itself, as the donation was only declared after the election as it was made in a specific week-long window that was exempt from immediate reporting.

As I revealed in OpenDemocracy in October 2024, Quadrature had held shares in companies connected to the genocide in Gaza in late 2023 and early 2024. It held an average of $121m in shares in companies linked to the genocide in Gaza between December 2023 and July 2024. This included shareholdings in arms companies like the lead contractor on the F-35, Lockheed Martin.

I've just checked Quadrature's most recent SEC filings submitted at the end of June 2026. They show that Quadrature still has investments in arms companies like Boeing and Lockheed. The June fillings show it held $9m in Elbit shares and an astonishing $117m in Palantir.

What is it with the Labour Party and connections to Palantir?

Luhde-Thompson also donated to Labour Together. He donated £50k at the end of November 2023: smack-bang in the middle of the period when Labour Together hired APCO to investigate journalists (including me and my family) who had exposed Morgan McSweeney's failure to report donations in violation of the law between 2018 and 2020 (of course there is no indication Luhde-Thompson knew about this).

Dale Vince, Sagal's other donor, was also a big donor to Labour Together. He has, most recently, strongly supported approving drilling at Jackdaw and Rosebank oilfields.

We found out about Dale Vince donating to Sagal during the campaign because it was leaked to the Independent. But voters in Holborn & St Pancras had no idea that she was also being funded by Daniel Luhde-Thompson, linking her to Quadrature and, through that, investments in companies complicit in genocide.

There is really something deeply wrong here. Voters were deprived of key information before they cast their vote. Our electoral laws around donations, which allow the mega-rich to dominate our politics, have to be reformed.

@LateefSaka The left want to use ethnic minority communities to stir social conflict. Unfortunately you won't get any help with these issues from them. But they'll dangle them in front of you at the next election.

@KiszelyPhilip @MothinAli It's bizarre I don't know why they're obsessed with injecting Israel into every aspect of politics.

@BritBoy95X @RupertLowe10 The census categories are already nonsense. It won't redefine anything. The census racial categories have been distorted since Blair and the introduction of "white British" as a category.

[Basil Lynch 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @BasilLynchUK]

@kingkapoor72 What is this nonsense? Anyone who thinks this kind of stuff is meaningful or helpful to the right is a retard.

@gwynedd8364 @jacktparnell Debunked by what? The amount of ethnically Welsh people in Wales has been decreasing and will continue to decrease if more non-welsh people move into Wales? What do you dispute here?
