Hell In A Handcart

Love Europeans - but hate the EU. Loathe self service check outs! Despise lefty BBC News, woke Sky News, Audi drivers & pavement cyclists.

Funny how @metpoliceuk can provide an over the top presence of officers for @Keir_Starmer when he visits Golders Green today but failed to provide any cover for the Jewish community yesterday.

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

This is illuminating.

“..oversaw..” that is an interesting choice of word. 

Because as Suella knows I did not draft that bill. I did not see it prior to its introduction. I was, as she knows, only asked to take it through the Commons hours before it was heard. Nor was I given any authority to alter it- but I did make asks to do so to the Cabinet Office- to change the gender-neutral language wording to female wording. 

All this is a matter of record. As are the names of those that drafted it. As are the members of the PLB Committee which would have cleared it, a Committee which included Suella as the Attorney General. Given that the Bill was about her maternity leave I assumed she would have taken an interest. 

Perhaps I was wrong to make such assumptions. And to take her thanks and delight at it being introduced that she expressed to me at the time- in writing- as her genuine feelings. 

As I say, illuminating.

Phillips’ resignation letter: “It has taken me a yr to get u to agree to even threaten to legislate…Not legislate, just threaten. This is the definition of incremental change. Nothing bold about…I'm still on a promise this will happen in June, I've given up believing it”

[Hell In A Handcart @HellInHandcart]

@Keir_Starmer You always mention this word "change" whilst doing the 2 clenched fists thumbs pressed down action you have been taught by the PR gurus. Don't worry Boris also learnt that. But the fact is you have no ideas and the ones you had got shot down by your backbenchers. Move aside!

[Lee Anderson MP @LeeAndersonMP_]

Terrible News.

@reformparty_uk are fixing potholes by using one of our greatest ever British manufacturers machines.

British councils buying British machines to fix British roads employing British people in Britain.

Truly shocking.

A transgender girl (bbc language) is a biological boy - it’s really time @Ofcom instructed the media to stop gaslighting the public. It makes a mockery of decent journalism, which at its very least should explain in a way the public understands so a story makes sense.

[Alison Moyet @AlisonMoyet]

I see the proposal that retirent age should be raised to 75. My question is - Where are these jobs going to come from? Given that the young and mid-lifers alike are struggling to find work.

[Colin Brazier @ColinBrazierTV]

In 1942 Churchill addressed thousands of Britons from the steps of Bradford City Hall. This week, on the same steps, Islamic clerics lamented the death of the Ayatollah to a very different crowd. The depth and speed of change in the UK is history-defying

@ShippersUnbound Why on earth were those positive policies announced the day of the biggest political scandal of our time? What genius signed off on that? Of course it wasn’t going to get any traction. The fact Starmer is frustrated about that shows you how little instinct or common sense he has.

[classicalandpolitics @classicpolitic]

@ShippersUnbound He also fails to understand that policy announcements do not equate to delivery. People are tired of speeches and promises not matched with evidence of any real change - high turnover of PMs has made that more acute!

[General Dreedle @dreedle_general]

@ShippersUnbound But Starmer was under no obligation to take that advice if he thought it was wrong. The fact he didn’t is what matters. Starmer is ultimately responsible not his convenient scapegoat McSweeney. 🤪🤔

[Gerry Hassan @GerryHassan]

Peter Mandelson has sent a secret notice to all UK media demanding they leave him alone. He cited IPSO clauses to attempt to stop scrutiny of his long-standing relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Well done to @ScotNational & @LauraEWebsterr for publishing it.

[Laura Webster @LauraEWebsterr]

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone.

He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein

We have published it in full.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Tony Benn wrote in his diary on Monday 16th February 1987:

“Today we had a meeting of the NEC and the Shadow Cabinet. The first since Neil Kinnock became leader. Kinnock introduced the meeting and spoke for about twenty minutes. We went on to Peter Mandelson who said a few words. I find Mandelson a threatening figure for the future of the Party.”

Prophetic words. Tony Benn proved to be a much shrewder judge of character than Tony Blair and Keir Starmer.

It finally happened. #IranMassacre made the Europeans put the IRGC on the terrorist list. Embassies to shut, assets to be frozen. The Islamic regime has run its course. Tonight on @BBCNews I spoke of my hope for the people of Iran. #IranianRevolution2026

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

🚨As of yesterday, the Islamic regime opened up the Internet at around 30% connectivity. Forced to do it for their own interests as the country was near to complete paralysis.

As such, hundreds of videos have now come through on the telegram channels. I’ve seen about 10% of them. I have now stopped.

We always knew what this regime was capable of. The cruelty, savagery and barbarism that I am seeing now is on a different level. It is not just the foreign militias hired by the regime from Iraq and Afghanistan to do their dirty work. It is also Iranian security forces against their fellow countrymen, unarmed civilians.

The numbers being killed each day is increasing at such an alarming rate it is beyond shocking. Bodies are piled up on the streets of the major cities in black bags like garbage. Equally staggering is the silence and inaction by the international community.

Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews. What we are witnessing in Iran in real time is a government trying exterminate a segment of their own population that that does not agree with them. Even if it’s the majority, there is no stopping them.

What gives people in Iran hope is us not looking away. But most importantly - in the brief moments the internet allows them - to glimpse messages of support from people on here. Because it make them feel less lonely.

All eyes on Iran.

Message to Keir: Do not underestimate the depth of anger people will feel about this disgusting decision. If you think it strengthens you I tell you it will simply hasten your demise. You could have shown magnanimous leadership but instead it’s cowardice. https://t.co/02Y8COpddM
