Public institutions are terrified of getting race wrong. So they outsource judgment to agenda-driven activists and “community leaders” who give advice that damages trust.
The answer is not to trash the police but to restore common sense.

Burnham’s BS.

Victoria Derbyshire asks Burnham 5 times how he would pay to take utilities back into public ownership and 5 times he fails to tell her.

This guy hasn’t got a clue what he’d do as PM except speed us back to the 1970s even faster than Starmer is doing.

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

This is why Britain is Broken

He thinks he doesn't need to know the detail. He thinks his job will be smiling, waving, and lying

And the Civil Service will run everything. But the Civil Service don't know what they're doing

So he'll be Starmer v.2.0

Since this was published Saturday morning it’s been revealed that the Royal Navy’s entire available fleet of hunter-killer submarines is stuck in port unable to sail — all five Astute class subs currently laid up awaiting maintenance and other repair work. Leaves the UK’s sub-sea internet and power cables dangerously vulnerable to sabotage by the Kremlin

I’m sorry to not be with constituents at the Bristol #BlackLivesMattters protest today. If mass gatherings weren’t banned I’d be right there with you. Taking @MarvinJRees’ lead, I and fellow politicians across Bristol take the knee in solidarity. #bristoltaketheknee

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Nick Ferrari: Would you take the knee for Henry Nowak?

David Lammy: I…I..I…errr…no, I don’t think the family are asking for symbolism.

Nick: So you agree taking the knee is mere symbolism?

Lammy: We were in a pandemic!

David Lammy’s hypocrisy on full view.

@shearn1986 @PDJSwallow Since nationalisation cancellations have doubled and performance has sunk to a 7 year low. It is good it works for you but the statistics say it fails far very many people. The old system was not perfect but it gave better results in terms of punctuality than nationalisation’

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

How stupid do you think we are?!

[Simon Hoare MP @Simon4NDorset]

Jenrick: HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME. Your slide into the gutter seems now to be complete.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Reform putting out an attack ad on Kemi Badenoch misquoting her over Henry Nowak’s tragic death is a deeply misguided, ugly and offensive move.

A young British man was murdered. He died cuffed and begging for his life, alone in the street.

To weaponise his death, so vindictively, in order to make a viciously deceitful graphic attacking a political opponent is low.

I am not in the same party as Kemi Badenoch. In fact, we are competing for votes in Makerfield. I disagree with her on a great many number of policies.

I would never manipulate the death of an innocent young man to score petty party political points, especially using such blatant lies.

It’s just not how we conduct ourselves in Britain.

Principles still matter, or at least they should.

[Charles Margetts @CharlesMargetts]

@jon_trickett @We_OwnIt This post is yet more #labourlies. Their ‘nationalisation ‘ will leave all the freight companies, open access operators and the people who own the trains in private hands. This truly is labour painting a turd

[Charles Margetts @CharlesMargetts]

@PDJSwallow @PDJSwallow performance on swr since nationalisation has declined. The state cannot run railways. This was shown in the 1970’s and 80’s. There is none so blind as a labour politician who puts ideology above reality

[Charles Margetts @CharlesMargetts]

@PDJSwallow More reliable trains. Ideally as reliable as they were in private ownership

[Charles Margetts @CharlesMargetts]

@PDJSwallow In the 3 months after nationalisation cancellations rose by 50 per cent on SWR. Yet more #labourlies. @PDJSwallow never lets the truth get in the way of a good soundbite

[SWR Watch @swtrains_watch]

New ORR data shows SWR in decline (Q4):

❌ Cancellations at 6-year high (3.6%)
⏱️ Punctuality 3rd worst in 6 years (68%)

Delay minutes vs a year earlier:

🏗️ Infrastructure: ⬆️56%
🚆 SWR train faults: ⬆️138%
⛈️ 'Severe' weather: ⬆️1,000%+

£1.5m in donations from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, makers of puberty blockers, might provide a clue.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

So far this is the revelation from the Mandy files that will cause Labour most pain — now and for some time to come.

[Rush @exRAF_Al]

Labour has already arranged the cancellations well in advance. This way, Alexander is correct - there will be fewer “last-minute” cancellations. Britain is so fucked under Labour.
