What about the women SOE agents or women resistance fighters who helped make D-Day possible?

Stop trying to turn everything into a culture war issue and cause faux outrage!

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

The brave heroes on that day were all MEN. No women took part in the D Day landings. So why do you pretend that they did? @Keir_Starmer

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Vance vigorously supported the mass pardoning of the January 6 rioters - nearly 100 of whom have already been arrested for other crimes. And he lectures Britain - a country with a fraction of his nation's per capita homicides.

Reform UK's best and brightest...

[One Nation Conservative Network @ONCNetwork]

Last week, around 20% of courts were not sitting, with over 13% this week also sitting unused on average each day.

Victims are being forced to suffer, cases collapse and justice delayed.

Labour should take onboard the internal and external opposition to its justice reforms, and put forward a new Bill focused on utilising Court capacity which would garner cross party support.

“Patriots”? There are videos of attendants throwing Nazi salutes. They are not patriots, but rather far-right thugs.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I do not want to see patriots thrown in prison because they've had a beer or two, got fired up and acted stupid in the heat of the moment.

The state will make an example of you - they will show no mercy. Your life will be ruined.

Do not attack the police. Be smart. Stay calm.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Reform really are descending into the gutter now. This is a total distortion of what Kemi Badenoch actually said. It’s another example of their increasingly desperate efforts to neutralise Restore.

More does not always mean better! Our tax system is becoming bloated and unnecessary complexity impacts growth!

[One Nation Conservative Network @ONCNetwork]

More taxes mean increased complexity for businesses, as well as more resources and money spent complying with them, in turn negatively impacting growth. Additionally, a complex tax system is more vulnerable to exploitation by individuals and companies.

Streamlining the tax system should be a priority as it could raise the same level of revenue whilst importantly fostering growth

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Mate, this is embarrassing.

You are literally not the shadow Home Secretary.

You’re not even an elected politician.

[Bloomberg @business]

The ubiquity of social media in Britain and its splintering party system have created the perfect conditions for the type of boorish, ethno-nationalist party that would once have been beyond the pale, writes @RosaFPrince (via @opinion) https://t.co/9wS9nyQqIB

@barbourtwat Don’t worry, they will drop their demand for a 55mph speed limit! Everything will be fine 🤦🏼

THIS SHIT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Tax in the UK is the highest it’s been since 1945. That’s well understood – but another trend has been largely missed: the number of taxes in the UK is at its highest since the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Trump has turned the Republican Party into some weird cult utterly detached from real politics

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Stephen Miller on JamesTalarico:

“I think it's very bold, one could say brave, courageous that the Democratic Party would choose Texas of all places to nominate their first transgender senate candidate who is clearly transitioning into a female”

[John Kemp @JKempEnergy]

U.K. DIESEL AND GASOIL inventories fell to the lowest seasonal level for more than two decades at the end of March. Stocks were down by more than 250,000 tonnes (17%) compared with the same period a year ago, which explains why diesel prices have increased so much more than gasoline since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran started:

Suns out, penguin classic in hand… what more could one want?

[Mark Yale @Mark_Yale]

British public hates Trump, so Conservatives lean into Trump style messaging 🤦

The responsibility for social care provision should be transferred to Westminster.

Local Councils would then be freed up to focus on the core priorities of local communities 👇

✅ Economic support & regeneration 📈
✅ Local infrastructure & transport 🚌
✅ Support programs 👨‍🏫
✅ Housing 🏡

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

It's hard to argue with this from Tony Blair:

"Governments which succeed don't start with a personality contest. Or a political question - as in how do we "save the country" from Reform. They start with an idea, a project, a governing purpose"

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

The more striking thing from this is that more current Tory voters voted to Remain than Leave the EU: as they have shed votes to Reform the party is now not only less Leave than 2019 Johnson coalition, but also more Remain voting than those who voted for Cameron in 2015.
