@TheNewsAgents @maitlis @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Do you know what is shameless? A jumped up podcast addicted to chaos, thinking it can call the shots and decide who the prime minister should be. If Burnham is installed without contest no doubt you’ll be calling for him to resign in six months too. You’re agents of chaos.

@Nigel_Farage @England Left up to you and your party, you would want to deport many of the England players because of the colour of their skin. Maybe sit this one out, yeah?

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Sharing this sort of overt racism is now horrifically common on this site, but worth calling out that Hannan is a member of the House of Lords, appointed by the Conservatives.

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

This is a brilliant investigation. It shows what many of us knew. Hostile states are supporting both Islamist & far right causes in order to divide us. If you are echoing those narratives you are aiding & abeting a hostile state.

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast:

"I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.'

"I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult.

"We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street.

"We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.

Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.

Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson - these men don't give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart.

Young people can't afford to live. They've done everything they were told to do, studied, went to university, they are the best "trained" generation ever, but it's not enough anymore. If you don't think this ends in a major upheaval or uprising in the next few years, you're blind

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Thanks in part to this filthy website, we seem in very recent times to be slipping back towards a place where whole groups of people, sometimes races or ethnicities, are being blamed for the evil-doing of a tiny minority. It is a profoundly backward, poisonous and anti-British ideology that is rooted in the gutter and represents the road to perdition.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

I know things are bad now but you just have to hang in there until the world ends.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.

It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.

A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.

At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.

Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.

On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

No, of course not.

Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

Yes, of course he was.

He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.

His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.

Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.

This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.

And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.

END RANT.

If you claim to love this country, but you also hate anyone: young, woke, black, brown, gay, left wing, funny accent, drives an EV, supports different football team etc etc then you don't love the country you just love a small subset of the country similar to you.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

"We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.”

I am in awe of Henry Nowak's family.
Anyone callously ignoring their wishes deserves nothing but contempt.

[Alex JD @donovox]

@RobertJenrick Your disgusting party is using an horrendous crime as political capital - despite the objections of the victim's family. You have no shame.

@ZiaYusufUK Some cheek! Who the hell funds you?

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

There should be separate influencer gyms for people who want to film themselves and post it online, and all other gyms should not allow filming.

[Adam Bennett @adbennoEFC]

It’s almost as if constantly raising the retirement age results in less jobs coming into the market to be passed down to the next generation.
