The BBC is pushing Andy Burnham in order to remove Starmer & destabilise Labour. Then they'll destroy him in turn, to allow Farage in. All their efforts to remove Starmer have failed, so this is the palace coup attempt. Disgusting, pathetic & threatening to our very democracy.
A banned company director who spent £300,000 of Covid support on family holidays, private school fees, and other personal spending has been jailed.
Remember how Rishi Sunak decided not to go after these crooks?
@shedleveller@BladeoftheS@AndyBurnhamGM I understand that Burnham is charming and charismatic, but I want a PM who will lead us back to Europe and rebuild the NHS.
On a stretch of the River Roding in Barking strewn with waste and detritus, a barrister named Paul Powlesland did something the British state has spent decades failing to do: he cleaned it and made it look like a river again. He now faces legal action.
Yep. He and a group of volunteers hired a digger for £1,000 of their own money and hauled more than 200 bags of filth out of the water - packaging, broken appliances, used needles, even weapons. By any sane reckoning it was a small act of public good, civic spirit at its most potent and wholesome.
For his trouble, he received a letter from the Environment Agency informing him that he is under investigation for working without a permit, an offence that carries up to two years in prison.
The same Environment Agency that found the will to come after a volunteer for cleaning a river without the right paperwork has not, on that same river, prosecuted a single one of the illegal sewage spills that have fouled it for years. Not one. It's too fat, scrofulous, and indolent to fight the sort of people who'd do this. But it has energy to spare for the man with the digger and the bin bags because they expect he's likely to be a reasonable sort of Englishman who pays his taxes and honours procedure, however unreasonable it may be, when levied upon him.
Protecting rivers? They have no interest in that.
This is the thing about our institutions that the public grasps in its bones and the people who run them never will. Our institutions fail, and the manner of their failing is the worst part of it - the bloodless, box-ticking, permission-withholding callousness of bodies that have forgotten they exist to achieve anything at all.
They should all be cleared out; every decision-making body in the building responsible for the dereliction of duty, and for daring to persecute a member of the public, must be hollowed out. The whole thing started from scratch.
Better yet, I'll tell you what an outfit like Progress will do once it gains power; we'll put people like @paulpowlesland in charge of the very body now threatening to jail him. The institutions meant to look after this country - the Environment Agency and a dozen like it - are dying of exactly the defensive, do-nothing culture that sent that letter. They need to be run by people like him who actually give a toss. People with the brains to understand the problem and the plain human instinct to go and fix it themselves, while the rest stand on the bank writing their little sociopathic missives to the ones who already did.
I don't know the first thing about Paul. I've never met him. I don't know what his political preferences are, the shape of his beliefs, what else we would agree or disagree on. None of that means a thing to me. He's a good man, and the right kind of man to make things work; and Progress is an attempt to make the country work, not a club made to serve a certain type or belief profile. A country is made to work by the people who, whatever their politics, cannot walk past a problem without trying to solve it. There are such people everywhere in Britain - on the rivers, in the schools, the wards, the workshops - and almost none of them are running anything, because the institutions have been built to keep that exact kind of person out.
Drop the case against him. Then go further: find the hundred other Paul Powleslands the country is currently ignoring or threatening, and give them the keys. Put the responsibility and the authority, together, in their hands. Britain will be cleaned up - its rivers, and a great deal besides - in no time. It will be done by the people willing to get in the water, not by the ones writing letters about permits from the bank.
Absolutely appalling.
No one should face violence on our streets. The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. I will not tolerate this - he will face the full force of the law.
My thoughts are with those who are injured and I thank the police and the emergency services for their response.

@johnandi Reform put forward an unworthy candidate to ensure a Burnham victory and will then use the media to ensure a leadership challenge and a GE.
The venomous Reform party will gain a significant number of seats but not form a government and continue to destabilise. Traitors.

When politicians, like @RupertLowe10 and @ZiaYusufUK, make bogus claims with bogus numbers, blame whole communities, and stir shit like there's no tomorrow, it is no wonder why this man attacked five Muslim men with an axe in Edinburgh.
The video shows him shouting he is "protecting the country" from immigrants who rape "women and girls" as the coppers restrained him.
These two sow division so they can push for their agendas without actually giving a toss about anyone, including those who believe their bollocks and take action in line with said bollocks.
The funniest part is not even the costume, it's how quickly the whole thing starts sounding normal.
You begin by laughing at a man with a bin on his head, then 30s later he's talking about affordable housing, local accountability & kebab prices, & then you realise British politics has accidentally produced satire with a better manifesto than Reform & Restore combined.
He's the joke candidate & at least knows he's doing satire, meanwhile the men in normal suits are running around with one policy hammer marked "migrants" and treating every national failure like a nail.
Ask yourself why @reformparty_uk put up such a poor, flawed, and ultimately inadequate candidate?
They desperately want a leadership contest, and potentially another general election as a result.
They seek destabilisation of the UK. Make NO mistake.
Also, remember how Reform have been funded - with likely Russian money and persistent impact on social media.
Join up the dots, yeah?
Please don’t be fooled.
#StickWithStarmer
Who would be the best Prime Minister of the UK?
Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please.
Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender.
Please add an alternative if you wish.
"Controlamos entre el 60%-70% de la Franja de Gaza, estamos destruyendo toda su estructura, todo el mundo sabe lo que esto significa. Gaza se quedará en ruinas y los habitantes tendrán que migrar porque alli no habrá nada donde vivir en las próximas décadas".
Bezalel Smotrich, ministro de Finanzas de "Israel", habla orgulloso de la limpieza étnica y la destrucción sistemática que perpetran en Gaza, asegurando que el objetivo es hacerla inhabitable para que los palestinos tengan que huir de allí.
En mundo medio normal, después de que un ministro suelte esta barbaridad, tendría que ser detenido inmediatamente por crímenes de lesa de humanidad.
Because of my anti-Trump posts, my account with over 700K+ followers was reported by MAGA and was shut down.
I’m back with a new account and will keep speaking out.
Please follow, repost, and help me rebuild. Thank you.
