"I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters" said a white Scottish man arrested after 5 people were stabbed in Edinburgh.
I’ll fucking say it, this is on Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe.
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
@bbceastenders please for the love of....anything, will you get rid of Bea?! She's making me not enjoy this show anymore. As well as so many others who also hate her #eastenders
@edinhelp Morning. St Margaret's park playpark equipment needs a bit of tlc. But just fixed, too many parks are having cool unique equipment replaced with the same new equipment. Uniqueness makes parks more appealing 😊 and kids miss things that have been removed.
“You only care about violence against women and girls when it’s committed by a brown person”
I’m living for Thangam Debbonaire losing her shit after being incessantly interrupted by Sarah Pochin and then utterly bodying her.
No notes.
@on_lothianbuses the app is being incredibly glitchy the last few days. You tap on a stop and it says no departures even when there is, going in and out it eventually loads correctly. Then when tapping on a specific bus it comes up saying the journey no longer exists.

You know what to do ‼️
Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.
Less than 18 hours ago, the brave and dignified father of Henry Nowak appealed to the nation to not use his son’s death to create further division.
“We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to create further division, hatred or tension.”
Nigel Farage clearly has different plans as he exploits that family’s unimaginable loss and pain to further his own political ambitions, and create more of the division his party is thriving on:
“I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold, rage.”
Farage is sick.
He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him.
Farage is scum.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
Nigel Farage hasn't voted in Parliament for the last 11 weeks and has now missed 77 votes in a row, according to official records. The last time he turned up was to vote against adraft regulations for the Employment Rights Act, and that says it all.
@ali_allon Its beyond funny witnessing your level of stupidity. I would never advocate for "predatory men",I would advocate for the trans community that is constantly under threat from the dumpster scraping of a human that is you. Cis men are the biggest perpetrators, YOUR stats agree so 🤫
Trans men with beards in women's loos. Trans women terrified of using any toilets. Cis women will be accused of being men. Cis men could, theoretically, claim to be trans men to gain access anywhere. Shop staff now expected to police chromosomes.
Great job UK
*slow clap*
