The new illegal migration bill:unspeakably cruel;not going to work;will result in circa 250k people incl 45k children being detained;will create a lost generation of people.
The UK govt must invest in decisionmaking instead

Watch Truth Legal's @FrancesLedbury on the BBC, on how the Immigration Bill will deny fundamental rights and fail on all counts.

@Nigel_Farage All I see is black kids running away from trouble carrying no weapons???

Vice President Harris: As a former Attorney General and courtroom prosecutor, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, and cheaters who broke the rules. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type

@cangomaster @IrradiatedMouse Err lesson two? Completely flawed logic, if I take a day off through sickness I get paid. I don’t take many but that’s irrelevant.

THIS IS WHAT SPARKED THE RIOTS IN LEEDS

Police attended a house yesterday in the Harehills area of Leeds where they took five children away from a Roma gypsy family.

Roma gypsies are from Romania and Bulgaria, most identify as Christian, and are here legally.

@MarinaPurkiss @IsabelOakeshott But she’s polite while she does it so that’s fiiiiine. 🤣🤣🤣

@LeeAndersonMP_ From who? You’re so odd.

@LeeAndersonMP_ Or maybe just maybe… we’ll meet our net zero target???

@LauraFMcConnell I live with a crim defence solicitor and believe me,I wouldn’t if he was a misogynist.I’m sorry you had this experience (genuinely)but to describe every male defence lawyer like this isn’t fair.I’m also a solicitor& tbf from what you’ve said the mag/ judge should’ve intervened.

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@MartinSalloway1 @LauraFMcConnell Absolutely. I live with a criminal defence solicitor and believe me, I wouldn’t if he was a misogynist. I’m sorry Laura had this experience but to ‘tar’ everyone with the same brush is not fair.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.

While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.

NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

@KemiBadenoch What a fucking hypocrite. When Tory donor-Frank Hester said Diane Abbott made him “want to hate all black women” & she “should be shot” Badenoch dismissed the anger about his words as "Trivia". Tennant said he didn't wish her ill. Badenoch is faking outrage for political capital.

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@KemiBadenoch But that’s because you’re clearly just anti-every minority that makes you feel uncomfortable .

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@LeeAndersonMP_ What you gonna do now he’s embarrassed you Lee? Join another party?!

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@DavidHarpham77 Average age?? At least hopefully there’ll be no reform voters in a decade or so…?

Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who says Muslims should be removed from the UK"

Nigel Farage, "Really"

Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who claims that Africans have a low IQ"

"Why do you think that people with extreme and unpleasant views rally to your cause?"

Nigel Farage, "We've had an awful lot of candidates stitched up in the most extraordinary way. With quotes taken out of context"

Nick Robinson, "Why do they rally to your cause?"

Nigel Farage, "The truth of it is, before I got involved Reform was virtual

Nick Robinson, "I'm asking you a different question, I'm asking about you"

Nigel Farage, "No no no no no no no no no no no. They're not there because of me"

Nick Robinson, "You founded the party"

Nigel Farage, "No no no no no no no"

Nick Robinson, "You're the owner of the party"

Nigel Farage, "I've had no involvement in the day to day running of the party for over three years. These candidates were recruited before I said I would play an active role in the party. And frankly, they were so desperate for people to stand, and we employed a vetting company that didn't do the job"

Nick Robinson, "You can't run vetting but you could find £150 billion in public spending savings"

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Disgraceful for Farage to use the word ‘expansionist’ to describe EU.
Expansionism is what happens when you invade another country’s sovereign territory, like Russia did in Ukraine
What happened with collapse of USSR was countries queuing up to join EU and NATO because they wanted same freedom, liberties and democratic rights we enjoy

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@AndreaB97951440 @LeeAndersonMP_ @reformparty_uk What to fight for Russia?!

[Frances Ledbury @FrancesLedbury]

@LeeAndersonMP_ @reformparty_uk No one takes your party seriously enough to get you any seats close to the tories. It’s a blessing that all your racist members are spread out across the country. There will hopefully be more honesty about immigration by the next election. Because your popularity is based on lies
