“Go to the pub but don’t take your car” Policy made by urban ideologues. Clueless about the long distances between the few remaining rural pubs, and the huge radius of countryside and villages they serve, now that most ‘locals’ have closed. @TimesRadio

@aliciakearns Who was it who persuaded you to lend him your support and how did they do that? We could do with unpicking this whole story completely, to understand your and your colleagues’ vulnerabilities better, and what we need to do about those, to make the rest of us safer from that.

Be good if Keir could make it clear which tweets threatening violence and death get you years in prison and which get you a hero’s welcome.

EXCLUSIVE: Keir Starmer gave peerage to ex-aide despite knowing he campaigned for man charged with child sex offences inc accessing images of girls as young as 10

Last night the government, including the PM gleefully exclaimed how thrilled they were to have secured the release of an Egyptian most of us have never heard of.
According to Keir Starmer securing the release of Alaa Abed El-Fattah has been a ‘top priority’ for this government.
Who is this man and why did our Government push so hard for a man who says he wants to kill Zionists? 👇🏼

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

Once again a government is made to look very, very stupid based on simply not appearing to do the most basic of background checks before loudly proclaiming something as a win.

[Shahrar Ali @ShahrarAli]

Few things are more Orwellian or treasonous than a government moving heaven & earth to secure the release of a Jew-hating Islamist fundamentalist from a foreign prison in his homeland, only to import him to the UK with red carpet treatment while pretending he is a freedom fighter

[pavlo @LaughterHaver]

Now he’s making a list
And he’s checking it twice
And he’s gonna find out
If I’m naughty or nice
Now I’m going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But he’s coming to
Town now

[Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS]

The way the professor who invited me to speak has been treated by University of Bristol managers was so shocking, I couldn't just let this go.

The details are in the letter before action which I have posted online:

Not pictured in this beacon of equality and kindness, a woman who needed the money, stitched, bleeding, with empty arms.

[Naomi Cunningham @LoudBonnet]

This. And also: GCC were left to carry the can on their own. Nothing about this judgment will encourage employers or others to treat Stonewall as a safe source of advice or guidance.

[Kathleen Stock @Docstockk]

The calmness and firmness of purpose in this brave woman's voice as she shelters an unknown three year old from harm at Bondi is so moving. Her own child is missing at the time. I am in awe. This is how you do it. (The clip of the moment is in this incredibly moving report).

[Crimble Crumbs @CrimbleCrumbs]

Quadruple lock?

[Nic Millar @NJM71]

Not taxing pensioners with New State Pension as sole income is only going to end up being seen as an "entitlement" like WFA, triple lock - pensioners will be complaining (again) when it eventually stops. If it ever does - the temporary triple lock is still here 16 years later.

[Merryn Somerset Webb @MerrynSW]

The welfare bill is, give or take £10bn, now much the same as the income tax take. Pretty much every penny in income tax paid by these working people Reeves care about so much... goes to a welfare recipient.

[Helen Lewis @helenlewis]

So triple-locked pensions and benefits rise with inflation -- but not tax thresholds or student loan repayment levels? That seems weird to me, totally unequal fiscal drag on working people vs recipients of state spending.

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

Introducing assisted suicide via the NHS & largely scrapping trial by jury are two seismic changes to our way of life which the Labour Party didn’t think it needed to bother giving the electorate any prior warning of before taking power.

[Crimble Crumbs @CrimbleCrumbs]

@BradfemlyWalsh You can see where one of them hits the female police sergeant in the spine with a sledgehammer. Diabolical.

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

Dusting this down too. PM on council tax revaluation before election #BattleforNo10

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

An important development:

A music venue in Bristol has apologised to Oi Va Voy, a band of Jewish musicians who brilliantly combine Jewish and other cultures, and are non-political.

The venue, Strange Brew, cancelled the band's appearances at the last minute under pressure from activist groups.

They have now apologised and recognised that under the Equality Act Jewish performers cannot be excluded based on their nationality or ethnicity.

This is not an isolated incident and has been happening across the UK to Jewish people especially since 7/10/23.
