This is not a protest. This is not disorder. These are not protestors, despite what @BBCNews says.

This is a riot targeted mostly at those seem as “outsiders” by violent scum hooligans and yobs.

In the 70s, the targets were other faiths, now it’s other skin.

Jesus wept.

How utterly disgraceful for Nigel Farage to tell the BBC that the thugs rampaging through Belfast last night had legitimate concerns. That man is a fascist. Not hyperbole. An accurate assessment.

Kemi demands more defence cash.
Her party: 14 years. Troops cut. Housing sold. Morale destroyed.
Now she's concerned. Spare us the theatre. 📉👋#PMQs

[Russell Kennedy @RussellKennedy2]

She’s right.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

[Russell Kennedy @RussellKennedy2]

Absolute claptrap / again.
Kemi Badenough, part of the Tory govt who actually CUT Defence Spending, and we all remember those Daily Mail front pages admonishing the Tories for doing so…oh, hang on, did they hell.
And you accuse others of propaganda!!

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

Kemi Badenoch absolutely bodying Keir Starmer on defence spending. It’s incredible the extent to which she’s turned the tables on him at these PMQs sessions.

[Professor Christopher Painter @PrfChrisPainter]

Badenoch chasing Farage; Farage chasing Lowe; Lowe chasing Robinson. All chasing one another in a downward, self-defeating and ugly spiral.

Robert Jenrick demanding answers about an attacker who entered Britain during the Conservative government’s watch is like an arsonist demanding an inquiry into the fire.

You and Suella Braverman were Home Secretaries. You were the people responsible.

Spare us the performative outrage and explain how someone you’re now condemning was able to get here under the system you helped run.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Remarkable story in Telegraph revealing just how useless recent Tory governments were:
A secret Whitehall report found that more than £28bn in foreign aid and Covid-19 loans was handed to terrorists, hostile states and gangsters!
The misappropriation of taxpayer funds from 2015 to 2021, includes millions sent to the Islamic State and Russia.
Those responsible remain unpunished and the dossier was buried to spare official embarrassment.

From a leading member, of the governing party, who brought us the continuing disaster of Brexit, he has some bloody nerve, accusing other nations,of retreating from the world.

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

"This is another way in which Trump is tearing up the rules... Most countries say these big events are moment to show the world at its best"

Sir Jeremy Hunt, Conservative MP, says the controversies ahead of the World Cup are "another example" of America "retreating" from the world

This is getting silly now. Every single cricket commentator agreed after the Ashes debacle action needed to be taken to regulate the player's off-field behaviour. So a curfew was introduced. Only two members of the team broke it this week. One of them was the team captain. If he wants to walk away, rather than take his medicine, that's a matter for him. But that's not the fault of McCullum or Key.

[Russell Kennedy @RussellKennedy2]

Not often I agree with @DPJHodges , but he’s right.

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

@KingofSW6 I give a monkeys. The failure of the team and management to be held accountable for their actions on and off the pitch was a big part of the Ashes disaster. We get told they’ve learnt their lesson, then the very next test this happens.
