We now have a Foreign Secretary, at a time of multiple international conflicts, who cannot be questioned in House of Commons.

just remember: every time you see figures like this, they are already outdated. every one of these numbers is a universe unfulfilled.

So just to recap, our unelected head of state has given a position in Britain's unelected House of Lords to an unelected foreign secretary, on the recommendation of an unelected prime minister

🚨 BREAKING: Labour has confirmed that it will instruct its MPs to ABSTAIN when Parliament votes on whether to back a Gaza ceasefire.

Labour said: "We're not going to be engaging with the party political game playing by the SNP in parliament.“

The Police have surrounded Nicola Sturgeon’s house and filled the garden with tents making it look like Fred West’s house.

All this for £600,000, but Michelle Mone wasn’t investigated at all and given 2 weeks to flee for £133,600,000.

Couldn’t be in anyway… political could it?

Gary Lineker was pulled off air by the BBC because he refused to issue a public apology for his tweets criticising the government’s Illegal Migration Bill, according to sources close to him. Lineker rejects the idea he breached social media guidelines, which is what…

BBC afraid to have Gary Lineker on air, but weren’t afraid to air a nonce

Man in the audience, "Refugees aren't the cause of your suffering. It's the economy, it's inflation, it's the fact that nurses aren't being paid enough. I don't appreciate this distraction technique of targeting refugees who don't have a voice." #BBCQT

My piece today for ⁦@theipaper⁩: ⁦@IpsosUK⁩ polling shows boats may not be a vote winner for the Conservatives https://t.co/8cM3mzRpVR

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is what right-wing demagogues have done through history.

When a country is in the grip of social crisis - when a society is unable to meet the basic needs of its citizens - they try to redirect our fury on to desperate people fleeing foreign lands.

So…

It is not ok for Gary Lineker to be actively anti-government

But it is ok for the BBC Chairman and the BBC Director General to be actively pro-government

My mate who had to spend two grand to be locked in a shit hotel room in Heathrow for ten days so he could get home to see his terminally ill father before he died did not find this anywhere near as hilarious as Case and Hancock did.
