NYC Mayor Mandani was angry about Israel eliminating Ahmed Wishah, an Al Jazeera “journalist” yesterday.

This is him. 👇

Does he seem an innocent “journalist” to you?

That is what they said

A High Court injunction has been secured by the Lib Dems to prevent St George’s flags from being raised on lampposts in Oxfordshire.

Meanwhile under the Oxfordshire County Council, they’re happy with the rainbow-coloured pedestrian crossing. Which is far more of a hazard.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

If Andy Burnham doesn’t call a snap GE, I’m confident that this time next year he’ll be very unpopular. As Mayor, he received mild scrutiny and could pass the buck to government funding when challenged.

He has no plan and winging it. A recipe for disaster. Bookmark this.

Can anyone help Nicola Sturgeon spot the motorhome parked outside?

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

I have written to the Electoral Commission demanding an investigation into potential breaches of electoral law by Hope Not Hate.

Public trust in our elections depends on the rules being followed by everyone.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Good. Hope Not Hate have been given a free ride for too long and need shutting down.

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

10 years ago, we all dared to dream that the dawn was breaking on an independent United Kingdom.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Do you still believe this @DavidLammy?

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Look at them all, grinning as they parachute in a bloke who has tried and failed to be Labour leader twice, who won a manufactured by-election and will now become PM unopposed so he can avoid all scrutiny of what he actually stands for. Risible.

[Avi Yemini @OzraeliAvi]

🚨 The video of two Sydney nurses threatening Jewish patients has been thrown out.

Not because the threats were found to be false.

Because the nurses allegedly didn’t know they were being recorded.

Read that again.

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

Exactly right from @afneil

Why is this Steve Bray idiot allowed to overshadow such an important moment in our democratic history with his ridiculous music?

What are @metpoliceuk playing at?

The world is watching.

This makes Britain look like a basket case ....

Why is there such a ridiculous disparity in the parliamentary dress code for men and women?

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister.

He has led the most authoritarian government in more than a generation, unleashing an unprecedented assault on free speech. Indeed, he seems determined to make social media censorship his legacy.

In the process, he has proved to be an effective recruiting sergeant for the Free Speech Union, with our membership growing from 14,000 at the time of the last General Election to more than 45,000 today.

But there is little reason to believe things will improve under his likely successor, Andy Burnham.

It is believed that the former MP for Makerfield and former head of Labour Together, Josh Simons, who resigned so Burnham could fight a by-election, is set for a plum job at the heart of Downing Street. The Free Speech Union recently exposed Labour’s ‘misinformation mafia’ that Simons led, targeting journalists and others that challenged Starmer’s technocratic managerialism. We anticipate an escalation in Labour’s efforts to suppress dissenting speech on social media in the forthcoming Representation of the People Bill, assuming Burnham doesn’t abandon the legislative programme outlined in the King’s Speech.

Burnham is also keen on bringing forward a ‘fully trans-inclusive’ ban on ‘conversion therapy’, which may mean criminalising parents who ‘misgender’ their confused adolescent children or who withhold consent from their children embarking on irreversible medical pathways.

No doubt there will be numerous other assaults on free speech which we’ll be keeping a close eye on.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

This is bonkers. This is like saying: ‘We will give 11yo kids methadone because at the moment they are turning up to clinic after scoring heroin from their street dealer’
It’s just…madness. We don’t run trials because kids are already being abused?!

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

What Islamists are doing in Britain they’ve done elsewhere.

It starts with charities. They take over mosques. Operate in the universities.

Subversion and violence follow.

We need to wake up.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

I’m looking forward to PM Andy Burnham meeting President Trump, greeting him with a warm smile and feeling “ashamed” of himself.

[James Dreyfus @DreyfusJames]

The next incoming Prime Minister better understand that you ignore people’s genuine concerns at your peril.

You don’t get to insult, smear, belittle or dismiss them because it doesn’t suit your agenda.

That doesn’t make you “decent”, by any stretch of imagination.
