You can't make this SH*T up.

Lammy went on Sky News and said Musk tweeted about Henry Nowak over 100 times, that he was being divisive, interfering in British politics, whipping up division.

Then admitted he hasn't read the tweets. SHUT UP you foolish idiot. 🤯

How do you know the NUMBER if you haven't read ONE? How do you know they're DIVISIVE if you haven't read them?

He condemned the content of posts he's never seen. Live on television.

What Musk actually said was that what happened to Henry was unconscionable and he'd personally fund a wrongful death lawsuit against the officers. That's not division. That's accountability for a dead British boy.

THAT is what Lammy is scared of. Not the tweets. The lawsuit.

Because if that lawsuit succeeds it doesn't just destroy two officers. It destroys the institutional culture that produced them. The fear of racism accusations over duty of care. The diversity training that made police feel controlled and pressured. The two tier policing they've spent years carefully building.

Musk isn't whipping up division. Musk is funding accountability.

Then Melbourne showed Lammy his own tweet about youth unemployment. Zero engagement. Every comment critical. Not one person engaging with the message.

Lammy's response? Russian bots. Emanating from Moscow. Not real British people.

729,000 young people out of work. Highest since 2015. Worse than Covid. The British public told him exactly what they think. So he erased them.

Then said he's staying on X anyway.

So which is it David? If it's a Russian bot farm you delete your account. If you're staying it's because the anger is real and you know it.

He knows they're real. Calling them bots was a LIE. Just like the number. Just like the content he condemned without reading.

All of it. Live on television.

Why the delay ?

When your entire worldview is based not on knowledge, but on what others think - the only possible rebuttal is a performance.

"You think that more people in the country is going to affect housing? Eh? How does that work?"

[Driftwood @buc97552]

Keir Starmer informing parliament that anyone who pushes a wheelie bin towards the police will “feel the full force of the law”

But putting a police officer in hospital is perfectly fine.

The Henry Nowak case, explained in 21 seconds.....

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

This exchange is so revealing. Kenyon points out the obvious - that the more people that enter a country, the more houses that country will need. But upon hearing the argument that immigration puts pressure on the housing supply, the Green candidate immediately defaults to her "I'm shocked and horrified you could ever say such a thing!" mode. The funny thing is, she ends up agreeing with him, but even then she tries to pretend he has said something appalling. This is what happens when politics is rooted in feelings rather than facts.

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

Ah I see. Anger is one-way street.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Everything about this footage is appalling. Henry’s family deserves a proper inquiry into how and why the police behaved with such callous disregard for his young life. And the killer’s family deserves proper accountability for their disgraceful behaviour.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

@Keir_Starmer YOU'RE A DISGRACE!

You *TOOK THE KNEE* 15 DAYS after career criminal George Floyd died.

Henry was dying and said to police "I can't breathe". They laughed at him, put him in cuffs, watch him die and you said NOTHING until now!

Too little too late

RESIGN!
You disgusting man

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The BBC have run a sneering attack piece insulting both myself and Elon Musk...

A Restore Britain Government will defund the BBC, day one.

Let's see who's laughing then.

[Essex Patriot @Essex_Patriot]

The whole of the UK agrees

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

On the left: British citizens who were arrested, processed and jailed within weeks over mean tweets.

On the right: Two thugs who savagely attacked officers in an airport with video evidence. No retrial. Still free to walk among us.

There is a sickness on this island.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

In other countries, he would have been shot dead after assaulting police officers at an airport.

In Britain, he’s grinning. Truly sickening.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Let’s nail this state lie once and for all. The government is NOT increasing defence spending by £270 billion during this parliament. It is a ludicrous claim.
Yet one Keir Starmer made to Parliament’s Liaison Committee in March: Labour, he said, will “spend £270 billion MORE (my emphasis) than we would otherwise have done on defence” in this Parliament.
Starmer has always been weak on facts and figures but even by his standards this is a massive porkie.
This is the truth: £270 billion is the total cumulative projected defence spending for the four financial years from 2025/26 up to and including 2028/29 lumped together.
It is NOT even the cumulative increase in defence spending during these years.
Nobody (except perhaps Gordon Brown) speaks about public spending in this way, unless the intention is massively to mislead.
By 28/29 defence spending is projected to be £13 billion a year more than at the start of the period. So not exactly £270 billion. But I guess if you’re going to lie you might as well make it a whopper.
