Today’s paper on No10 delusion.

I think the British expect that those who would rule us should know what they’re talking about.
A fundamental purpose of interviews is to establish if they do (at least that was always my main purpose).
Often they reveal they don’t — as @BBCNewsnight has revealed with Mr Burnham.

The Museum of the City of New York is hosting an exhibition where visitors are encouraged to TEAR DOWN statues of “oppressive regimes” (aka Western historical figures)

Do you think this is normal?

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

There he is! The Andy Burnham I remember from his Westminster days. Tetchy, evasive, unable to explain himself fully, irked by female interviewers.

i’m obsessed with this hospital in barcelona because whoever built it understood that beauty is a form of medicine that can uplift the human spirit and support healing

Keir Starmer said: “Muslims are making a huge difference in British society, contributing to education, culture, the economy… They are delivering every single one of the government’s missions. Muslims are the most generous group in the UK.”

The gap between Starmer’s praise and reality is astonishing.

Labour MPs and Labour supporters are going to be reminded, in a very painful fashion, that Andy Burnham was a great option when he was *unavailable* but a much less impressive one if or when he *does* become available.

The nation at this point begging the people of Makerfield not to elect this man with his dangerous agenda…

Andy Burnham suggests he will give asylum seekers the right to work...despite warnings Britain will become a bigger magnet for small boat migrants https://t.co/HwBYfi6CB1

“It does feel like there is that kind of boomer, imperialistic, ‘we’re the ones who won the Second World War and saved the world’.”

We did. https://t.co/qGO70QY14t

Christian police officer had his career ended for asking questions about jihad and radical Islam during a ‘safe space’ discussion on race and diversity.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

Good news. My patriotic friend @LordWeirDUP won the Private Members’ Bill ballot, and has just introduced a Bill to prohibit any change in the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands without the consent of both Parliament and the Chagossian people.
We are going to win this thing.

@john_ritzema One must hope that Makerfield residents firmly reject him. He is just saying anything to anybody to garner votes - imagine that disaster in Downing St! 🤦‍♂️

Meet Parm Sandhu. She sued @metpoliceuk for discrimination and pocketed £120k - despite becoming the force's highest-ranking Indian officer.

She then wrote a book calling everyone racist.

She’s now @CollegeofPolice's Chief Executive, which explains everything RE: Henry Nowak.

For years, the Irish Police (the Garda Siochana) considered Prawo Jazdy as one of the most prolific offenders in the country with more than 50+ traffic related offenses. The case was later dropped when it was established that Prawo Jazdy meant Driver's License in Polish.

[Christian-Marc @DrMusicale]

We have a serious problem, will any of the political leaders get to grips with it?

[The Spectator @spectator]

The official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain has branded Zionism "one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred," described the Israel Defence Force as a "Zionist terrorist group" and defended Hamas against "unverified stories about acts of violence.".

The inflammatory claims are made by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) in a policy paper on "confronting anti-Muslim hatred," written by its then vice-president, Khaldoun Kabbani, published on its website last year but not publicised until now.
