First minister Michelle O'Neill: “The debate today ... is about our inclusive society, our welcoming society.”

Tone deaf.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

This is simply not true @Keir_Starmer.

You absolutely DO tolerate abhorrent scenes of violence like this attack. Just like you tolerate all the rapes and sexual assaults of women and girls by illegal migrants.

You - and most of the political class - decided long ago that these crimes are a price worth paying in return for achieving your multicultural, diverse, open bordered nirvana.

So don't pretend to be shocked and don't wring your hands in sadness. This is the predictable (and predicted) result of the policies YOU support.

"Look over there. Another bad thing is happening."

I'm sorry, but I just don't think these arguments work anymore. Twenty years ago, maybe. But no longer. We are experiencing massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration, and it is having real-world consequences on our streets. Dusting off the old slogans - "Diversity is our strength", "Don't look back in anger", "We won't let them divide us" etc - is a dead end. The public mood has shifted dramatically. People need to realise it.

Keir Starmer has accused JD Vance of trying to 'interfere in our democracy' and 'stir up division on our streets' after Vance blamed Henry Nowak's murder on the 'mass invasion of migrants'.

Starmer literally took the knee for an anti-western, revolutionary BLM movement that unleashed chaos on America’s streets.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

You accuse us of “politicising people’s pain”.

You are a shameful hypocrite.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Was it wrong to “politicise” the Stephen Lawrence murder? Or that of George Floyd? What does the word “politicise” even mean in that context? Don’t tell me that it is right to “rage against the machine” when state authorities fail black murder victims for reasons connected with race, but that we are obliged not to “stir up tensions” when the victim happens to be white. It is this two-tier approach that is fuelling tensions and division. Can the establishment not see it?

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Labour folk accusing @Nigel_Farage and Reform of exploiting Henry Nowak's murder for political gain really need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

It must be such a difficult decision… said no one ever… #ProtectTheProtectors

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Surely the CPS has to go for another retrial for these two?!

[Simon French @Frencheconomics]

1. You’ll improve the UK’s Balance of Payments
2. You’ll raise UK tax revenues
3. You’ll strengthen Sterling
4. You’ll boost resilience of the UK’s oil and gas supply
5. You’ll support jobs in chemicals, and refining industries

Oh, and you will reduce the carbon footprint of UK gas consumption at the same time?

Nice.

[realhansard @realhansard]

Well it’s just as well we heeded Nick Clegg’s warnings back in the 2010s that nuclear power would take too long to build.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

He wants to deploy UK forces we don’t have to keep oil and gas flowing 3,000 miles away but forbids any new investment in our sector of the North Sea. Bonkers.

[Chris Newton @drchrisnewton]

Getting white males to fight for a state that repeatedly creates glass ceilings for them and effectively tells them they're second rate scum is going to be a tough sell. https://t.co/dpiCaGljJ4

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Shameful cover up. They absolutely did not want this inquiry now they’re doing everything they can’t to make it pointless!

[Iain Martin @iainmartin1]

Latest scenes from Parliament. Given the enormity of what is happening in the world presumably it will go viral, globally, and not in a good way as a neat symbol. Meanwhile, British defence spending is only 2.4% of UK GDP.

"China burns half the world's coal, so we don't solve our problems by simply closing down British industries," Sir Dieter Helm, professor of economic policy at Oxford University, tells #PoliticsLive

[The Spectator @spectator]

None of this should have happened. Majek’s presence in Britain, at that hotel, was the direct result of policy choices by politicians and civil servants, which have been upheld or advocated for by judges and activists.

[Stephen Jones @stephenjones9]

How can the WRU betray the national team and coaches by making an announcement which kills off one the clubs. It’s incredible. Staggering. They must be stopped

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

🚨Our film is up
We spent months making this👇
About how Britain shut down many of the factories we need to feed us and defend us.
Will have more to say on it in due course but in the meantime - pls watch, share and let me know what you think https://t.co/wcWaDzyDBf
