Every UK News Show should hold these individuals accountable whenever they turn up for interview. Words have consequences and we must never allow this to happen again

Clip of Farage here going on a chaotic logic bender culminating with the phrase ‘I hadn’t got a clue.’

BREAKING: Republican pollster, Frank Luntz, just came out and announced that Kamala Harris is now the front runner. This is huge.

Still staggered by Grade’s top turvey morality - cheering on Laurence Fox as some kind of rally cry against intolerance.

Fox is Intolerance the Movie

Met Commissioner Mark Rowley says “crazy voices” on the extremities always criticise the police, but hits out at “serious characters” who he says are legitimising the narrative that police aren’t even handed with all communities.

@JohnConstableRA I can recommend Threads, because I would miss your posts otherwise

@LordDagenham @MichaelRosenYes The last thing Jo Cox heard was "Britain First". Should we also ban that phrase?

Imagine being BAME and hearing that phrase in the current environment...

“Minimum service level legislation wasn’t designed to block unions striking” says outraged shadow environment secretary Steve Barclay

Imagine his shock when he finds out the legislation was deliberately designed to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike

Thank you @AngelaRayner @jreynoldsMP for scrapping it👏

I think @elonmusk has a Pots and Kettles problem.

You could even call him #TwoTierMusk

This is racial hatred against myself and @HumzaYousaf yesterday that X says #doesnotviolate platform rules on Hateful Conduct

Yet political debate like the other tweet is Hateful Conduct!!

[Sayeeda Warsi @SayeedaWarsi]

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

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Ignore the outrage from the Daily Mail. This is fantastic news from the new @UKLabour government. The Tories despicable anti-strike legislation was deliberately designed to rob millions of workers of their right to strike, to force nurses, teachers & others to work against their will & allow them to be sacked if they refused. In scrapping it the Labour government should be applauded👏

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Only 7% of Britons support the riots in a new poll.

Britain is definitely not ‘rising’.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Build high walls for yourself and stoke hatred, violence, chaos outside them in the hopes of accruing power and profit during the meltdown. Hardly original, but dangerous nonetheless.

[dave ❄️ 🥕 🧻 @mrdavemacleod]

if Roger Hallam got 5 years for organising peaceful climate change protests what do these lot get for promoting widespread race riots with arson and looting

[LBC @LBC]

'There's people who claim to be articulating disgust at the murderous attack on innocent children, articulating their disgust by attacking a hotel which contains innocent children.'

＠mrjamesob wonders if there is 'any possibility of reaching these people', as riots continue.

“We enter parliament to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets, that is its affair. We do not come as friends. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.”
- Joseph Goebbels

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

For days, I've wondered why the PM was so slow to call in the army to deal with these riots. Today, I've come to understand why; he knows what the far right is attempting to do. 🧵
