@bphillipsonMP Start by condemning the words spoken by the owner of this website, giving his support to a march organised by the far right and calling for the UK government to be dissolved.
And calling out the rhetoric used by the organisers of that march for what it is: incitement to violence
I’m old enough to remember sitting cabinet minister Priti Patel meeting a foreign government off the record without her Prime Minister even knowing about it so forgive me if I don’t start salivating that the current Prime Minister met a visiting pop star after her Wembley gig.
@caitlinmoran Threads is ok, lots of lovely chat, but it’s Meta.
Bluesky’s good, but we’re gonna have to work out what will replace Twitter…
Neither is doing that right now, but I’m betting on Bluesky - more political users, better for me.
But can’t be switching between the two forever..
He has just been arrested. So according to this ghoul’s own logic, we now know that there is no ‘two-tier policing’. He will, of course, continue to lie about it regardless. #FarageRiots
Rise, like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number! Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you: Ye are many—they are few!
You’ll notice, despite its problems, and the wreckage to our economy & social fabric wrought by the insular self sabotage of Brexit, that whenever this country is offered far right extremism and the ideology of fascists, it not only rejects them but bounces back in style. 🇬🇧👌
You should correct ‘counter protesters,’ @SkyNews. These individuals are legitimate law-abiding protesters. The other lot they’re ‘countering’ aren’t protesters. They’re drunk, looting shops, attacking police officers, trying to burn people alive, attacking places of worship and chasing after pedestrians with chainsaws. They’re terrorists.
I urge minority communities and allies not to respond to this provocation.
Let the police do their job.
Let the courts deal with the culprits.
These arsonists pretending to be patriots are setting our country alight.
Now more than ever we must be the ones to choose peace over conflict and harmony over hate.
I know you feel scared and feel the need to defend your communities but do not take the law into your own hands- support the authorities and institutions of the state whose job it is to protect.
Be the ones that heal our nation as others attempt to rip it apart.
These race riots are very deliberate and have been along time in the making - please do not take the bait.
Stay home
Stay safe
No Robert you do not get to go on national broadcasters and say one thing and try and pretend you said something else after!
If you genuinely feel your comments on @SkyNews were inappropriate, offensive, incendiary and anti Muslim ( which they were) then start by apologising
Then you can go back to pretending you are a responsible candidate for the leadership of our party.
Not prepared to let you and other colleagues get away with this gaslighting and playing these games anymore- too much damage has already been done to our country and it deserves better than this populist nonsense.
Dear white people. Respectfully, please have a word with those other white people who are beginning to make me feel unwanted in the country of my birth. Don't be silent.
One of the most repulsive, inaccurate and frankly embarrassing headlines in the history of the Daily Telegraph. It has appalled many of its own journalists. It is beneath contempt.

Gen Z, it's your turn.
@EmmaKennedy@georgebernhard I’ve reported it to to @metpoliceuk earlier and on here (for all the good the latter will do).
I too hope that there will be consequences.
I cannot believe this traitor.
He’s doubling down on the pathetic rhetoric.
For decades British girls have been raped by immigrant barbarians and he’s finally come out.
On their side.
Fine.
Then it’s war.
