Dear Mr Musk: where is your call for riots over this, or the scores of other murders?

"Trump: Shooter at White House press dinner had multiple weapons, one officer shot."

Presumably, Trump will Pardon this intruder bent on political violence.

@ZiaYusufUK Newsnight (17/2/2026): EqA 2010 permits, not compels, positive action. Please correct this mistaken impression that you gave.

[Michael Connolly @ConnollyLegal]

@ZiaYusufUK Newsnight (17/2/2026): EqA 2010, s 1, imposes a public sector socio-economic duty, which if brought into force, might address your concern for white working class boys. So why would you repeal it?

[Michael Connolly @ConnollyLegal]

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Newsnight (17/2/2026). If the 2010 coalition government had not enacted the EqA 2010, the wide range of existing equality legislation would have remained in place, unless David Cameron, champion of same-sex marriage, was somehow persuaded to repeal all of that

[Michael Connolly @ConnollyLegal]

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Newsnight (17/2/2026) EqA 2010 permits Positive action in specific limited circumstances (ss 158/159). It does not compel it. Please retract your mistaken statement.

[Michael Connolly @ConnollyLegal]

Newsnight,
Nonsense on EqA Act!
e.g. Section 1 contains a public sector duty regarding socio economic disadvantage/status.  If brought into force (rather than repealing the whole statute)  Zia's concerns re white working-class boys  may be more fully addressed.

An so RJ wants more integration in society. I agree! Let's have the homeless living in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, and all things in between.

So, a foreign immigrant tells flag-waving British people how to be British? Yikes!

So, would Reform return Russian dissidents to Putin - and pay him for doing so?

[Michael Connolly @ConnollyLegal]

So, would Reform have sent Jews back to Nazi Germany - and paid Hitler to do so?

It did not turn on the European Convention of Human Rights.

Hitler's hate did not start with Auschwitz
- but that's where it ended.

What's your solution?

So, "Farage backs asylum hotel demonstrators despite the violence." The Times (London) July 22, 2025. Will he also back muggers and thieves in the context of drug addiction or poverty, or tax evaders in the context of businessmen under pressure?

Starmer appointing ministers from outside the Commons. Will this come back to bite him given the large number of MPs without Gov jobs, and the already overcrowded HL?
