Dear Angela, @AngelaRayner

You tried to cancel the local elections in May because you knew Labour would get a kicking.

@reformUk threatened to take you to court so the elections went ahead.

Labour got a kicking.

Now, you’re threatening to retrospectively ban major donations to Reform. Even though Labour get millions from trade unionists, half of whom are probably Reform voters.

You’re terrified because Labour are going to get a kicking in 2029. You’ll lose your seat, Ange!

Be honest, what you’d really like is to ban Reform. Because this democracy thing is a bit of a ‘mare, isn’t it.

Do you have any idea how corrupt you look?

Here’s looking forward to the May 2027 elections. Labour will get a kicking.

Weird how the people outraged by the "hounding" of Jason Arday delight in and encourage the actual hounding of the person who exposed him.

Arday was not fired from his job or denied employment opportunities. On the contrary, he was given and retained jobs for which he was not qualified and was rightly criticised for lying.

Cofnas, on the other hand, is actually being denied jobs and fired from them for bring Arday's lying to light.

[MinnieC @Minniebabyca]

Doublet standards & hypocrisy, always

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

When Henry Novak was murdered the left condemned us for politicising it

Funny how they have no problem politicising the death of Jason Arday

[Nicholas Bennett @haroldstheman]

@PaulEmbery Because the ‘funeral costs’ have gone up from £50,000 to £250,000 ?
The grift that keeps on giving, or as comedians say ‘know your audience’.

[Hannah @ehannah0]

We are now seeing two-tier sympathy.

Endless media and left-wing sympathy for Jason Arday.

Zero sympathy for Ann Widdecombe, Henry Nowak, Wayne Broadhurst or Rhiannon Whyte.

[MinnieC @Minniebabyca]

@MsChimezie @CordyHaig @agodliveshere @PaulEmbery Talk about being wilfully blind..

[El Capitalist @theKidCHFR]

@PaulEmbery Public persona gets shot for one's ideas. Leftist ='He kind of asked for it'. Public persona repeatedly lied and cheated to get jobs and money and gets called out. Leftists = 'you killed him by asking questions' 😱

[MinnieC @Minniebabyca]

@PaulEmbery The left basically don’t want questions. Only discussion in line with their beliefs allowed. And facts never matter.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Jason Arday’s death is tragic. But please spare us the sanctimonious complaints that he was merely an ‘obscure’ academic who was the victim of a racist witch-hunt. The probing and questioning and exposure were entirely legitimate.

Arday was plainly guilty of plagiarism. He had also made a series of fantastical claims about his life and career. He ended up being appointed as a professor at one of the world’s most august seats of learning – where his students, who had worked extremely hard to get there, were paying large fees for the privilege of being taught by him.

Far from being obscure, Arday had happily engaged with the media over many years, often repeating his false claims. He appeared on numerous TV shows and guest edited Radio 4’s flagship Today programme. He even carried the Olympic torch.

Moreover, he had secured a major publishing deal for his autobiography, which was set to be released in Britain and the US just as the scandal broke. By no measure was this man ‘obscure’.

When a fellow academic in Plymouth began to question his credentials, Arday (or someone close to him) made a complaint to the police. When a journalist from Times Higher Education started investigating, he was subjected to a police inquiry and also received a threatening letter from the leading libel solicitors, Carter Ruck.

Arday and those around him were clearly not averse to hounding others when they felt like it.

It’s very possible that Arday did not have sufficient support measures in place when he was finally exposed – but that’s on others. The investigation and questions amounted to legitimate journalistic inquiry.

This was never just about Arday’s fabulism. It was also about the increasingly controversial philosophy of DEI, the obsession of our political, corporate and educational institutions with pushing that philosophy, and how it might have led to someone with Arday’s subpar credentials being appointed in the first place.

These are all valid questions to ask – and, by asking them, journalists are simply doing their jobs.

@leftworks1 @NeilClark66 @JuliaHB1 Unfortunately everything that has happened this man brought on himself. No one needs to be questioning themselves over his suicide! He was a narcissistic fantasist whose life was simply unbearable once the truth was out!

[Celina101 @celina101010]

A Black Cambridge professor dies after resigning amid explosive plagiarism allegations, and the British political and academic class immediately starts talking about racism.

Aaron Dugmore was nine years old.

He was one of the few White children in a school where roughly 75% of pupils were non-White. His family said he was subjected to racial abuse, including being told that “all the white people should be dead”, before he was found with a cord around his neck.

Britain never made his name a national cause.

Ask yourself why.

I wrote an article about this linked below:

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades - with no noticeable improvement in public services.

Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement...

You keep less of what you earn.
You keep less of what you invest.
You leave less to your family.

Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

@AnnDrogyne @JuliaHB1 What are you on about? Austism doesn’t make you a fantasist or liar, often quite the opposite.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Professor Jason Arday QUITS Cambridge University hours after a probe begins into his qualifications.

Can't wait to hear how his defenders try to squirm out of this one. https://t.co/m6Hs33Ywgi

Exiled Iranian calls out the useful idiots who marched against the imaginary "far right" in London.

Explains that the capital is already under sharia law via Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer.

Says what's happening in Britain is how Iran fell 50 years ago, and he's had to flee London to get away from it.
