What I love about ‘Andy will be Labour’s first female leader’ is that Labour has a similar aversion to electing black and ethnic minority leaders (just one so far), but no one would *dare* brief that Burnham would be the first black leader. The contempt is specifically for women.
If what this SNP branch secretary says is true - that the party's in-house solicitor knew (and was discussing) problems with SNP finances three YEARS before Murrell's arrest - that blows Swinney's paper-thin "we're the victims, nothing more to see here" routine out of the water.
Hampshire police has just confirmed to the BBC that in the four days Henry Nowak’s killer was in custody he was never put in handcuffs.
So you have to be white and the victim of a racial killing before you’re handcuffed these days.
I weep for Britain.
“The single decision Bridget Philipson made that has been most revealing.
“Eton and Star Academies wanted to open a great new free school in Middlesbrough to help more talented young people access the best universities - backed by funding from Eton.”
“When Bridget became Education Secretary she killed the project.”
Prejudice trumped social mobility.
Andy Burnham promised his Makerfield constituents he would lower immigration. Now he’s considering giving 2.15million ‘Boriswave’ migrants the right to settle permanently and access the welfare state. His u-turns will bankrupt Britain, says Rob Bates

The concealers of a massive fraud, publicly admitted, still walk the streets of Scotland (and London). But who helped them? Whose job was it to stop them? Who failed? https://t.co/vWCj4W5MpP
ROBERT HARDMAN: Proof that Bridget Phillipson IS a spiteful class warrior and that children are suffering as a result of her policies https://t.co/dsq10fIRcy
This isn't news. It's an asinine anecdote about a petulant Education Secretary outraged that Kemi Badenoch dared to describe her accurately. The real story is the 13000 pupils Phillipson's envy has forced into a creaking state school system. So naturally the BBC isn't interested.
Labour MPs expect us to care about the so called “personal attacks” on Bridget Phillipson.
Since they’ve spent years calling half of the country racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic and transphobic, I’ll continue not to care.
Labour government caught hiding TWELVE migrant centres across UK - all financed by the taxpayer without their knowledge.
Speaker Lindsay Hoyle blasts the deception as "totally unacceptable." 🇬🇧
Keir Starmer pointing to Bridget Phillipson's upbringing doesn't answer the criticism of her record as Education Secretary.
Growing up on a council estate isn't a shield from scrutiny.
Politicians should be judged on one thing:
Results.
If the public thinks Bridget Phillipson is incompetent at her job, her background doesn't change that.
Not charging VAT on something that has never been charged VAT and that the vast majority of countries don't charge VAT on is not a "tax break".
Nobody says single Mums get a "tax break" on kids cloths, or builders get a "tax break" on supplies.
NEW: The SNP Government has announced the replacement for the Monklands hospital in Lanarkshire has been delayed.
This would have been useful knowledge for voters to have on May 7th, but instead it comes out in June.
- Miserable pipsqueak
- A demented Dalek on speed
- A foetus in a jar
These are just a fraction of the insults directed at @michaelgove by @UKLabour and its activists during his time as Education Secretary. All this pearl-clutching from Labour MPs in relation to @KemiBadenoch's row with @bphillipsonMP is pathetic. They need to get over themselves. @bphillipsonMP's class war has caused school closures, cost people their jobs and messed up the education of countless children, many of them with special needs. She deserves to be called out for it. 'Spiteful class warrior' is the least of it.
