@JChimirie66677 And yet "liberal" women are blaming white men for this latest atrocity in the name of Islam fundamentalist. Don't they realise that gay people are targets. Don't they realise that women are mere chattels to these people - not even second class citizens.

Lisa Nandy is leaving X because she can no longer control the conversation. That is the beginning and end of this story.

This has nothing to do with free speech or expression. You are simply too accustomed to a world where the establishment protects your lies, where the BBC smooths over your failures, where the newspapers you favour run interference when the public gets angry. You have spent your career in a bubble where dissent is managed, where awkward questions are filtered out, where the little people are kept at arm's length.

That world is ending. The public can now speak back. And you cannot stand it.

Your announcement is not principled. It is a confession. You have no argument. You have no answers. You have no courage. When the country demanded accountability for what was done to those girls in Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford when they asked why your party looked away for decades you had nothing to say. When they asked why the perpetrators were protected while the victims were ignored, you hid behind committees and reviews. When they asked why your colleagues turned off replies to avoid hearing from the people they claim to represent, you said nothing.

Half of your Cabinet does not even allow replies. You talk of "meaningful debate" while building walls around yourselves. You speak of democracy while treating the public as a nuisance to be managed.

You are not leaving because of abuse. You are leaving because you are losing. Because every time you post, thousands of people remind you of what you have done. Because the England you claim to serve has seen through you, and it loathes what it sees.

Your whole party is loathed. Your whole establishment is loathed. You have disgraced this country in ways you will never understand because you are too busy thinking about yourselves. Me, me, me. Your career. Your image. Your comfort.

We just say the truth. The truth you have been hiding. The truth about the girls you failed. The truth about the borders you opened. The truth about the lies you told.

You have no spine. You have no integrity. You are full of hate for the people who see through you, full of lies about your own record, full of betrayal for every working-class voter who ever trusted your flag.

Run to Instagram. Run to Facebook. Turn off your comments there too. Build your smaller, safer echo chamber where the only voices are the ones you approve. But know this: the public will follow. The public will find you. And the verdict will be the same.

@LizaRosen0000 For Hamas now substitute the mullahs of Iran - it's never ending. They treat their own abominably in their blood thirsty pursuit of Israel and the West.

@Banksycat @ka83k The police officers who initially responded were initially to blame through their brainwashed training but the cover up goes right to the top - the Chief Constable and his cronies should be in the firing line as well as the foot soldiers.

@rj_abel Another great vote loser by the biggest idiot yet to front the Libdems. What is it with these politicians - they can't see the room let alone read it.

[Tigersman99 @Tigersman991]

@Keir_Starmer What a vile example of a human being this PM is. A trite post no doubt written by some spotty aide or AI and put out only when forced to by the Speaker. This, the 5 minute visit to Southport and numerous other self serving statements continues to ignore the elephant in the room.
