This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for us. Add your name? https://t.co/0rum2n7KHn

@marcuschown Another Commie Cretin conflating sea rescue with sea ferrying, & people smuggling! Wanker of the highest order!😤🤡

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Politicians and commentators have talked London down for far too long.

Today’s research from Kings College shows just how far lies about our city have spread. But Londoners know the truth and we’re fighting back.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city.

But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row.

My piece for @TheTimes.

An inconvenient truth that our politicians, fearful of the racists, are too cowardly to tell you

Low birth rate in the UK inevitably means fewer young supporting ever more older people

Immigration brings in young people & eases the problem

Without it, everyone must work longer

Exclusive investigation into @reformparty_uk at 7 on my show on @SkyNews and @YouTube - big thanks to @LizLaneSky and @jamieroberton for a lot of hard work. And first and foremost to the councillors who decided to speak out.

Paul, ask the question.

It’s important we get those with disgusting views to own their disgusting views.

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Reading some of these responses really makes me despair. I daren’t even ask - so would you let them drown? - as I fear many would say yes.

I won’t lose any sleep over being condemned by Israel.

What I deplore is its despicable treatment of the Palestinian people — and I will never stop speaking out against the occupation.

At least here in the UK, we’re currently enjoying a good week for democracy.

RNLI volunteers involved in Sunday’s rescue have reportedly had their names and home addresses shared online.

Nigel Farage shared, then deleted, Ant Middleton’s post calling for the RNLI to be defunded.

Middleton, once an RNLI ambassador, is not fit to shine the wellies of today’s RNLI heroes.

“Help! My children are drowning!”

“Sorry, mate, you’re brown.”

Who wants to live in a country where people don’t go to the rescue of men, women and children in danger of losing their lives?

The racists do.

Please support the wonderful RNLI https://t.co/5O036icsPC

[BJ @bjames280961]

@marcuschown By what stretch of reality have you decided that that is what he is saying? Leftism relies on pretending to not understand, so that stuff can just be made up.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

This is Lord Rothermere.

He is a billionaire who owns the Daily mail. He lives and works in Britain, but opts out of paying tax in Britain.

He is so patriotic he has avoided paying millions and millions (perhaps hundreds of millions) in tax by being a ‘non dom’ despite living here.

No wonder he’s scared of the Green party who want to tax the rich.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

So are you saying there are circumstances where we should let children drown?

I have never been a fan of Merz. But this is really good. To stand up to the far right head-on, rather than pandering to their narratives.
Probably the only way forward.
