10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.

When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.

Farage is a cancer on our country. He must never be allowed to govern, ever.

The Green Party: “let’s tax billionaires”

Lads who make 30k a year:

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Thankfully she’s dead

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

We keep telling you Billionajres Shouldn't Exist and you keep pretending you can regulate them into being human. They are not human. We've seen the Epstein files.

Nobody should be allowed to have that much wealth.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details.

It is the degree to which enormously wealthy and powerful people live by their own rules — and continue to get away with it.

It’s a club where the rules and the law don't apply. And you’re not in it.

Gaza. What they’re proposing is sunbeds over skeletons. Deranged. Psychopaths are at work.

[gaz @SilentGarrett]

call me a lib but maybe we shouldn’t have roaming gangs of masked men arresting people without charges and shooting innocent people in the face

[Niz @NizMhani]

Imagine being more outraged at the banning of football fans than the mass slaughter of 70,000 men, women and babies.

Imagine being that person.

“The right to protest must be protected.

But….”

We’re taking it away.

[Javier Corrales @jcorrales2011]

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

[Ollie Pope @Ollieargyle9]

In 2019 the UK elected "Boris" Johnson.

He became so unpopular he resigned 3 years later. His replacement was so bad she went a month later, her replacement wasn't even wanted by his own party and remained for 2 more years.

Through none of this, was a general election called.

[Sam Whyte @samwhyte]

Amazing that a load of alleged farmers went on their first protest and unwittingly exposed the fact they are mostly feudal Lords and have been since 1123.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Imagine using the senseless slaughter of children as an excuse to go and have a fight, throw bricks at a mosque and set light to people’s cars. I hope these cunts get several years behind bars.

[Declan Taylor @DeclanTaylor87]

Ollie Watkins to the entire nation:

[Aditya Chakrabortty @chakrabortty]

The new proposal would allow:
foreign investment bankers to bring their families
but compel care workers (who we actually need) to arrive and live alone

It allows only high-earners to have spouses and families. Financial eugenics. Amazing that Labour would go along with it

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Cleverly’s bill isn’t just about immigration. If you’re British and fall in love with a foreigner they can’t live here unless you earn £38,700. It’ll hit women harder due to the wage gap. This is fucking insane policy that will further fuck the economy by depriving us of workers.
