Andy Burnham - I know my words have consequences … all politicians do. if you give a statement at 8 am in the morning you are well aware of what you say and what might happen later in the day. Those consequences were seen on the streets of Southampton later that day.

@brndxix In the 50 years since the merge, Cleveland Browns have never won a Superbowl. And in the 12 World Cups the US have qualified, you finished 3rd once (1930 when 13 teams participated)
So in summary, absolutely no fucking chance 🤣🤣
Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.
They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.
They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.
They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.
We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.
Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.
Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.
I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.
That is my focus now.
Nigel Farage didn't speak up in parliament for almost 10 WEEKS – but when he finally did, he used the death of Henry Nowak to stir division – DESPITE his family specifically calling on
people NOT to.
After successfully inciting riots across the country, Farage is spotted relaxing in a posh members' club.
That isn't a patriot; that's a traitor.
Can't stand WayneKier but absolutely agree with this. Farage trying to rile up the country and its similar to Trump saying "fight like hell" when the White House was attacked
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"
Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"
