@thisandtatt @Vicgoch Only once encountered a large group of Sikh people. In a square in Toronto. Looked like a lot of stalls, selling stuff. In fact they were handing out beautiful food, free of charge. Aimed at the hungry/homeless, but everyone was welcome to enjoy what they were giving away.

@MattChorley You owe the BBC an apology too, as well as its viewers. Farage is threatening to sue the BBC, just like his mate Trump. If the BBC ends up with a costly court case, the license payers will pay for it. I despise Farage, but you need to stop presenting him with open goals.

@Katie_Lam_MP @TheSun “as I wrote for the Sun” 🤬🤬🤬

@SamCKx @Janiete Not just one party I’m afraid, BBC radio news at 6 had Tory Philp echoing Farage’s“two tier justice system” line, despite Badenoch condemning Farage earlier today.

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

Farage might as well have in BBC newsroom tonight setting the tone as BBC reported the stabbing of an innocent man. BBC quoted Tory Philp, who’s now spinning the Farage line, despite Badenoch condemning it earlier. BBC happy to run with “two tier policing”, to placate Farage.🤬🤬

@campbellclaret @Vicgoch @Ofcom When will it end? He avoids media for a month, limits contact to friendly interviewers who avoid difficult questions. This used to result in pushback from journalists & consequences for ppl who did it. Farage gets away with it, avoids bbcqt, then comes back whenever he chooses.

Which one of these people do you think is the most popular with the Labour Party members?🤔
Repost after voting please.

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

@JonathanBrash Be ashamed. He’s a Labour candidate trying to win a by-election, by slagging off Labour.

@SorchaEastwood Would you like to meet Putin and Trump? Do you accept that by asking you this I’ve “set up a meeting” between you, Putin and Trump?

@Jimvic1 @prodnose One of the funniest people who ever lived. 😁

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

@ZoeJardiniere Redacted means ppl can at least put two and two together and have a guess. “I lost my phone” however gives people no information and no chance of even guessing. Tory MPs have a habit of “losing their phones”. 😂😂😂

@NormanLeedsFRSA @ghost_wales The same fig leaf you use to hide your identity?

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

@patrickkmaguire He speaks as a mayor, not subject to the established whipping system which applies in local politics when councillors are involved. As PM, how would he deal with the campaign group if they aligned with Greens on crucial votes, preventing him from delivering his party’s programme?

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

@Steven_Swinford First time I read this I didn’t interpret “benefits” as DWP payments, but generally, things that benefit others. Things that cabinet members were lobbying for: eg, better childcare, schools, transport, jobs.
I still think that.

[Rob Lackenby @butsurelynot @Butsurelynot]

@patrickkmaguire Nope.

There isn’t a squib damp enough to outdo the details of the latest Mandelson garbage. There has to be more than this surely? If not, stop flogging this horse. #mandelson

@theobertram @JLPartnersPolls Shocking. Would have been less surprising when 50% of ordinary workers were union members, but now, when it’s 22%, it’s just crazy. Tories did loads to reduce union membership, by abolishing check off etc: unions need to build better recruitment processes & reverse the trend.
