@freddiesayers I don't think it's worthy of arrest and it's lesser than what Lucy Connolly did. Don't think Lucy should have got prison. Suspect the employer will take an interest in their reputation being sullied

This is a shocker. A mother of three from Gaza who came to the UK as a refugee has just won a human rights challenge to bring in 18, yes18, of her relatives - both parents, a brother, his wife and four children, a sister and her four children and another sister, her husband and their three children.
None of them speak English and the mother only has room to house her parents with the rest taking up social housing away from British families.
Not to mention the the cost of the 18 filling our schools and NHS clinics.
Plus the signal it gives tens of thousands of Palestinian families that the UK courts are an easy touch and they should head here.
Another bloody awful and costly decision by our courts. Labour won’t do anything about it as they look on the people as Labour voters of the future.

I spotted a waymo autonomous car undergoing testing

[The Irish Politics Newsletter @IrishPoliticsNL]

What's so bad about this is - that it was flagged by department of Foreign Affairs in committee meetings and by the ministers that its first time we’ve held a presidency with Irish as an official working language.
And Sinn Féin didnt know?

@gerrylynch Kelvinists and Armenian spark a lot of aggro

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Aren’t you the minister for safeguarding women against violence?
And you have to apologise for what you tweeted after a fellow female politician was violently murdered?
Isn’t that a resigning matter?

Picture you didn’t know you needed to see today:

Boris Johnson dresses up as Buzz Lightyear for his son Frank’s third birthday.

@PrearrangeS @JimAllister History lesson: the Gaels ultimately came from continental Europe, settled Ireland, then planted Scotland, and gave Scotland its name via the Scoti. Many Ulster planters later came from Scotland. History is more complicated than shouting "planters."

@PaulClark_UTV Didn't he save someone's life 20 years ago?

Because of the previous deputy leader targeting Linfield. It's a pattern

[Naomi Long MLA @naomi_long]

Why on earth would you assume that a Linfield flag was meant to be representative of the negatives suggested in this post rather than the positives about celebration?

Maybe you're just exposing your own bias..

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised by the hate-filled, nasty, anti-unionist, sanctimonious preaching from the Alliance party.

They hate the PUL community, including even any sports team deemed as being from that background.

And they are never, ever, wrong because they are the enlightened ‘good’ people who know better than everyone and rise above us mere mortals who actually have principles (on both sides) and care about identity or tradition.

[Sammy Morrison 🇬🇧 @SammyMorrison82]

It’s OK @OfficialBlues - Paula would “generally” permit Linfield flags. Just give her office a call to check before putting one up to be on the safe side 👍

A number of years ago I helped organise an anti Protocol rally in Dromore Orange Hall at which Ann Widdecombe was a guest speaker. This was her opening line. Dreadfully sad news. Hoping and praying justice is done.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

Ann Widdecombe, the former MP and MEP who also featured on Strictly Come Dancing, has died aged 78.

The Arabic says Islamic facism according to AI. In my untrained legal opinion I would suspect no actual crime has been committed at moygashel.

It's not easy going public as an abuse survivor

“I’m concerned for my own safety...”

A sexual abuse survivor has been left in “absolute shock” after her twisted step-father was released from prison just seven years into a 14-year sentence.

So the man accused of a vicious attack in North Belfast who initially was described as Somalian, then Sudanese is now thought to be Chadian https://t.co/s8RVBOScbf

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

David Lammy wants to let rapists and paedophiles out of prison early.

Andy Burnham says he disagrees.

And tonight Labour couldn’t get their MPs to vote against us.

We just defeated the Government in a vote for the first time since the election.

But ministers say they’ll ignore the will of Parliament and carry on regardless.

And the clock is ticking. The early release scheme starts straight after the summer recess, on 2 September.

If Burnham means what he says, he needs to set out the plan - now.

[Michael Savage @michaelsavage]

That Paul Dacre statement in full on the Mail’s court victory. Quite something.

I’m sure Hacked Off will have something to say about it.

Another woman has come forward in the Donaldson case, alleging attempted sexual assault in Parliament.
"A message seen by the Belfast Telegraph from Jeffrey Donaldson sent at 2.19am on November 2, 2016 says “for the most courageous Angel I know” with a link to the Sarah McLachlan song Angel."
