Anyone else struggling to understand how the courts and British justice can move within 24 hours against an angry fella pushing a bin but everything else takes months if not years to be heard?

1. Women’s spaces are for women. It’s irrelevant how the women look.

2. Men don’t belong in women’s spaces. It’s irrelevant how the men look.

3. Most trans-identified men would give at least one ball to look like Sharron Davies.

Ich sperre heute einen Fuchs in den Hühnerstall und verlange von den Hühnern, dass sie den Fuchs integrieren. Sollte er dennoch ein Huhn töten, müssen die Hühner sich fragen lassen, wie das passieren konnte und ob sie auch wirklich ALLES für den Fuchs getan haben.

Studies show that 100% of countries that don't fire rockets or missiles on Israeli civilians are never attacked by Israel.

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

A 🧵 on what happens next.

This exchange sums up why Brits are finished with the bollocks they’ve been subject to over decades

Patronising, snarling, contemptuous response to the working class by smug, self righteous nobody

“Look at this fool, ladies and gents, isn’t he an IDIOT?”

Western governments say they 'don't like division'.

Okay.

I double-dare them to remove all race and religion-based privilege from our legal system.

No more racial land claims. No weapons exemptions for religion. No more 'oh I didn't know murder was wrong because of my culture'. No more lower standards for university because of a box-tick. No more leaving children in abusive households because of 'cultural reasons'.

Nothing. Get rid of it all.

Return to the days where each citizen is governed by the same laws. Has the same responsibilities.

That would end division.

The big question in all of this is why were these messages between Darren Jones and Peter Mandelson not released on Monday alongside all the other Humble Address documents?

The Humble Address is clear that "electronic communications… between Lord Mandelson and ministers… during his time as Ambassador" must be released to Parliament - that is exactly what these messages between Darren Jones and Peter Mandelson are.

The Cabinet Office, which Darren Jones is in charge of, oversees this process, and it is beginning to look as though that department cannot be trusted to make politically sensitive decisions.

In my mind, we now need an independent third party, not subject to the pressures of the Government, to review this matter.

The most natural option would be for the National Audit Office to look at this. When I was chair of the Public Accounts Committee, the NAO had access to every single document in government no matter how highly classified.

The NAO could review the information and documents the Government holds and provide reassurance that the demands of the Humble Address are being properly complied with.

This jolted me too. I know so many sniffy middle-class people who fawn over the working-class when it comes to food banks and education opportunities, but if they discover those people support Reform or Restore they quickly turn on them like they’re shit on their shoes.

[Tal Hartuv @TalHartuv]

Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks

Good news. My patriotic friend @LordWeirDUP won the Private Members’ Bill ballot, and has just introduced a Bill to prohibit any change in the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands without the consent of both Parliament and the Chagossian people.
We are going to win this thing.

Labour couldn't save Scotland's only oil refinery at Grangemouth yet Labour are spending £1.3 billion on a theme park in England.

A friend of mine sent me this text message, regarding her friend who got a job at a secondary school:

“Charlotte, I have to share something with you because it’s just driving me mad and you might even be able to share it with people that matter.
I’ve just started a job in a school a secondary school and I had to have an hours training in safeguarding the children.
The last bit and arguably the most important bit of the training was labelled Prevent.
As you know, Prevent is about terrorism and radicalisation.
The first slide said radicalisation with a dash- the far right
And that’s all that was mentioned nothing else he said to me this is our only concern the far right
this is in a secondary school!
The next slide showed pictures of people holding up the English flag and marching with it nothing was said just look at the pictures
The trainer then said key figures are Andrew Tate and watch the series Adolescence and you will see that the middle class parents are also one of the main problems here.
What any of that has to do with an actual far right movement? I’ve no idea I’ve seen Adolescence. It’s about in cells and male chauvinists etc . That’s not the far right. I was just gobsmacked. This is happening in schools. There was no mention of any other type of radicalisation only white boys and the far right I knew id lose the job if I said anything but wtf !?!?!”

Is this another example of a two tier system, more poisonous divisive indoctrination?

[Tim Stanley @timothy_stanley]

Obviously I don’t want to feel angry about the death of a boy as that would make me the tool of the far-right, so it would be helpful if the Government could tell me how I should feel. Annoyed? Irritated? Mildly anxious?

Just in case many around the world forgot October 7th.

This must go viral. The world needs to see the truth.

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic.

Mentioning Israel was attacked first and suggesting better responses = criticism

Omitting the attacks and saying 'Israel is killing people' = propaganda and antisemitism

Context separates the two.

Andy Burnham will win, he’ll then become PM. However, he’ll just be more of the same as Starmer.

We’re broke. He can’t raise anymore taxes, can’t borrow more and so what will he actually do?

The only way this country will change is by cutting welfare, cutting taxes, getting people working again and then seeing growth. Real growth. Burnham won’t do any of that.

The panellists were laughing and giving Robert a hard time last night just because he is an ordinary bloke. Robert is you and me, he is your son, and he grafts for a living, something these opposing candidates never do. They weren’t just trying to degrade Robert. No, this is exactly what they think of you, the everyday Brit that works hard for a living.

Robert Kenyon fought back and gave as good as he got, Robert is exactly what this country needs, a grafter with passion for his community and country.
