If ever I feel sad, I remember the time I got this text from @RachaelFairhall and then I'm happy again #pigeon

Regarding recent press coverage

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country.

The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so.

I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

she was right though, you are a wanker

[Lee Anderson MP @LeeAndersonMP_]

Justice At Last.

In March 2024 a woman harassed and verbally assaulted me in Sutton Town centre. It was a vile tirade of vicious and threatening language that went on for 20 minutes whilst I was out on the campaign trail.

This was in front of my family members including my elderly mother.

The left wing press had a right giggle over it.

Earlier today in court I had the last laugh.

This woman was found guilty and she has been sentenced to a 12 month community order and has to perform 80 hours unpaid work and attend 20 rehab days.

there is a benefits cap that actually means this isn't possible - but why are cunts like this never asking why the average salary (35k) is also almost exactly the same as childcare for three children (31K) - when you keep wages depressed like this what is the incentive to work?

[Annunziata Rees-Mogg @zatzi]

Benefits should be a safety net not a lifestyle choice

😡

hungry children that steal a dollar so they're able to eat deserve to be beaten is an absolutely wild take - and it goes to show why beating children is bad, because you grow up believing it's deserved, and as a result lack compassion for others

[Pirateborn200yrs2late @Pirateborn71259]

I was one of those hungry kids. I would sneak back to the locker room during gym class and rifle through pants pockets looking for a dollar to steal so I could eat. I got caught eventually and took a horrible beating from a guy. It was deserved and the embarrassment of getting g outed put and end to it. I’m not one for handouts but if the state requires a child be present for the day the state should feed them. For the record, I’m against welfare and snap in general.

@WhiteHouse this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

stop working and claim benefits then if it's such a life of luxury

[Tony @EvacTony]

I work often work in neighbourhoods where most who live there don’t work. While I'm up and at it at 7.30, you won't see them before 11, unless they're on the school run, in their PJs, then in their 25 plate car on pip, then straight back to bed.

Old slippers and pizza boxes are strewn about in the streets, weed hangs in the air,  little kids play in gardens full of rubbish and broken trampolines. They've all got dogs, they've all got phones and everything else. I'm 50 almost, and working since before I left school is taking its toll.

On Wednesday Labour are going to fuck me, you and every other worker over again to pay for this shit show, raising other people's kids and feeding and housing an invading army of people that hate us and abuse our women.

We're fools to put up with this, history will view us as idiots if we do.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

I think politicians should remember that when striking was punished the workers really did used to take the view "may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb"

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The next Conservative Government will ban doctors from going on strike - just like we do for the army and police.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

imagine being a psych nurse trying to explain to your patient with psychosis that actually no one is surveilling them, but they will need to be available once a day for the government robot to call them and assess their mental health

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

OH… How did I forget…

Create an AI system that calls all people claiming mental health benefits daily. The system is designed to offer mental health counselling at no cost and to make suggestions about how to make improvements.

A condition of claiming mental health benefits is that you participate in daily talk therapy with the AI. When the AI determines you are capable of working you switch across to normal benefits.

The system can also be expanded to job seeking and career counselling. We now have the technology to help guide people every day towards better choices.

actual ghouls - she's talking about children fleeing a fucking genocide

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Every single one of these students will be entitled to claim asylum once they arrive here, because of the ECHR. These students Labour are giving scholarships to never need to return to Gaza.

Our laws are no longer fit for purpose. This is why we need to leave the ECHR and control our borders. It’s the only way we can decide who gets to stay in our country.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

stop pandering to racists and punishing disabled people for being disabled would be a great start

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

We were given a huge gift by the British public of a huge majority. But now we are on 20% in the polls.

We have to stop making mistakes and start listening.

And we must be prepared for the fight of our lives against Farage.

[teen of sardines🐟 @BRATTYBARBl]

Today marks the 14th anniversary of Vanessa Gold's "bubbly's in the fridge" meltdown, as well as the 13th anniversary of Sharon's "My son is in the kitchen eating a biscuit" AND Cheryl Fergison and Julie Goodyear's "don't talk shite" launch night task. What a day for pop culture

[Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy]

Oh, Rupert.

For every 8 people executed in the United States, one other person has been exonerated from death row.

We shouldn’t be afraid of talking.

We should be afraid of you.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

@8dangerou_sadam I went today and when I checked in the receptionist was lovely - I was mortified that she already knew my name, this is not the notoriety I wanted ☠️

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

what is labours position on this?
why is this a controversial, or even wrong thing to say?

I'm going to literally need an explain like I'm 5

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with anything Diane Abbott says here.

Labour is saying that Black people are forbidden from describing their lived experience.

The same Labour whose leader does speeches about migrants which sound ripped off from Enoch Powell.

[Julesy @julesy_78]

Watching Peston bumble his way through this on the news earlier and my wife says "I didn't even know he was Jewish"...which is the precise fucking point Diane Abbott was making.

[dereklumb.bsky.social @DerekLumb]

girls I'm screaming - why did they choose this image 😭

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmarked cars with no uniforms or identification as law enforcement to abduct people, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they’re ICE for days afterwards.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Before and after.

Why did you delete the first one? @SkyNews
