I met up with Gravesham Reformers and discussed St George and Oikophobia, the mindset infecting Britain. With @reformparty_uk Cllrs Garry Sturley and @DakotaDibben.

@DianaFire @JDVance Blair's Equalities Act primarily.

@DailyTPodcast @CamillaTominey @timothy_stanley @michaelgove There are a lot of words that Michael could have used instead of inchoate. The fact he chose that one, knowing most people would probably have Google it is why the Conservatives aren't in touch with the common man.

@ArchRose90 I want your algorithm secrets @ArchRose90, you only need to sneeze on your phone and it goes viral 😏

@GBPolitcs @LivEchonews Based. This is what the people of Merseyside voted for.

@BBCNewsnight @matthewsyed English is an ethnic identity. A group which one is born into by having one or both of your parents as English. As you say, you are half Welsh and half Pakistani, that's great. It sounds like you have a cultural affinity with the English people, that's great too.

@reformparty_uk The Green candidate says that he's good at explaining, but she still isn't listening. More migration means more housing demand, it's not rocket science.

[Matt Johnson @LocalHistorian_]

The country is falling apart, social cohesion is fraying like never before, we are on the verge of an economic collapse. Instead of dealing with the great societal challenges we face, the BBC thought it appropriate use of very finite time to ask about something mean he said on the internet 15 years ago.
This Question Time forum is exactly what is wrong with political discourse in this country. We will never solve our fundamental problems until we consign this fake outrage mindset to the bin.

🚨 WATCH: An audience member tells Reform candidate Rob Kenyon that she'd "rather have a career politician than a plumber who's a sexist"

"I won't accept that label... I was brought up by women. I have nothing but respect for women"

This is important for all councils across the country. If the same police race action plans are mirrored across different counties, then the same risks of discriminatory and two-tier policing are present. We cannot allow for another terrible injustice like Henry's to occur.

[Linden Kemkaran @LeaderofKCC]

Today I wrote @PCCKent for reassurance about the conduct of Kent Police. While I appreciate that the murder of Henry Nowak did not happen in Kent, the issues raised are national issues and will affect public confidence in policing, knife crime, and equal treatment under the law.

I understand that Kent Police’s Race Action Plan aligns with the national Police Race Action Plan to eliminate bias, discrimination, and racism from policing. Following statements from the officers involved with the Henry Nowak murder who report feeling “controlled and pressured” during diversity training, this now raises significant areas for concern.

[Matt Johnson @LocalHistorian_]

@PolitlcsUK Rob handled that very well. His calm and polite demeanour will actually resonate well with the public.

@MikeTappTweets 'Any invasion from Europe would likely land here first'
Mike, I have some information that you probably need to know. More men have landed by inflatable assault craft in Dover than all of the troops who landed in Normandy on D-day.

[Matt Johnson @LocalHistorian_]

@MikeTappTweets I didn't know there was a first edition. I have catching up to do

[Matt Johnson @LocalHistorian_]

@LBC He's a true example of an ideologue if ever there was one. No amount of evidence could be presented, no scenario could play out where he acknowledges he's wrong and changes course. The ideology must be defended to the bitter end.

@JAHeale I need to get down the Marquis of Granby pub, it sounds lit.

[Nick Dixon @NickDixon]

When you read the College of Policing guidance from March 25, it boils down to: ‘Everything is racial, we must fix the country by treating people differently, though of course we’ll never end racism, which is our original sin’.

This garbage should never have gone beyond the world of deranged academic theory.

It is now undeniably a blueprint for getting white people killed.

@Ben_Bradley_32 Quoting Douglas Murray 5 years ago shows you were ahead of the curve. I'm surprised they didn't throw you out of the Conservative party for that.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

If you listened to the British media today, you'd think Henry Nowak was killed by Nigel Farage's comments.

[Matt Johnson @LocalHistorian_]

Question 'We were largely pursuing the direction of a colourblind society pre-George Floyd. Our race relations and policing was notably different to America. Yet that moral panic marked a clear change in direction and now large numbers of young people in this county have a racial consciousness that their parents never had. How do we move forward into this new era and find ways to bind different ethnic groups together under a shared identity?'
