His comments seem so one-sided as to render him
useless

He's supposed to be Mayor for all Londoners, not just for a section of them

NHS staff should be banned from wearing pro-Palestinian badges, report recommends.

Good. About time. When did ANYONE think it was acceptable for NHS staff to wear ANY political insignia while at work? While we're at it, can we ban rainbow lanyards too? https://t.co/romwTCuxWB

I do not want to see patriots thrown in prison because they've had a beer or two, got fired up and acted stupid in the heat of the moment.

The state will make an example of you - they will show no mercy. Your life will be ruined.

Do not attack the police. Be smart. Stay calm.

Today, the Minister stated that Henry Nowak's murder had nothing to do with racism, and repeatedly stated that "lessons will be learned". I used my question to challenge both false statements - to no avail.

You are betraying women and girls for the demands of men like this.
A middle-aged bloke in a bad wig and ill-fitting dress insists he is a woman and must access our changing rooms, toilets, shelters, and sports. Labour MP Nadia Whittome fights to protect his “rights” over the safety, privacy, and dignity of actual females.
This is not compassion. It is ideological capture and cowardice. These men’s feelings do not override biological reality or women’s hard-won single-sex spaces. Enabling this puts girls at risk and erases sex-based rights.
It is unforgivable. Women’s facilities must stay for women. No compromise. No men in wigs.

🚨Taxpayers are getting ROBBED! again!!

Labour is handing £1.3 billion of our money for a massive American theme park.

While families drown in energy bills and the NHS collapses.

These absolute clowns are prioritising billionaire profits over real British problems.

Absolute disgrace.

Enough!

Pakistan = So you gang raped a woman? Yeah, you're all gonna hang

The UK= So you gang raped a girl? None of you need to go to prison today.

The ‘All Women are welcome to use these toilets’ ‘Ladies’ toilets sign is still on display at Sunderland Minster.

The ‘Gentleman’s’ toilet doesn’t have a commensurate sign.
Only women need shove over?

My letter to the Director-General of the BBC over their scandalous decision to deliberately exclude Restore Britain from tonight's Makerfield Question Time.

[Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ⚢ ❌❌✡️ @sappholives83]

11 trans people have been murdered in the United Kingdom since 2000. All of them were killed by somebody they knew.

In that timeframe, 20 trans people have committed homicide in the UK, including one stranger killing.

There is no trans genocide.

There isn’t even any real persecution.
When it comes to homicide, trans people are the safest demographic in the western world, and it’s past time that members of that community stop pretending to be the most victimy victims ever to be victimized.

800% worse than they forecast... and it has cost jobs, ruined families and *raised no net tax revenue*.

Halt the policy immediately.

I don't think British people should be blackmailed into allowing barbaric religious practices any longer.

Let's just stop accepting it. It's a choice. It's one I've made. I hope you'll join me.

Downing Street now admits Starmer has disappearing messages turned on while conducting government business with Peter Mandelson – and, surprise, not a single WhatsApp between them appears in the 1,500 documents Parliament forced him to release.

The Cabinet Office guidance is crystal clear: if you use private apps like WhatsApp, significant information and decisions must be recorded and retained and disappearing functions must not undermine transparency.

That is exactly what appears to have happened here.

The Tories are absolutely right to demand an ethics investigation – if the Prime Minister can auto‑delete politically sensitive chats with his own fixer, then “ministerial standards” are a sick joke.

Another Muslim rape gang in Bradford jailed today.

Another silence from Bradford East MP Imran Hussain.

But he still found time today for another tirade against Israel.

The Man Who Legitimised Islamophobia Says The Guidelines Have Gone Too Far.

Jack Straw gave an interview to the Telegraph today acknowledging that police anti-racism guidelines have produced an over correction. He said greater care was needed in drafting guidance on race and less notice should be taken of vocal pressure groups. He said claims of racism must be swiftly rejected when there is overwhelming evidence in a specific case. He said he cannot understand for the life of him why officers found it necessary to handcuff Henry Nowak when he was disabled by his injuries.

These are the right observations. But they are twenty seven years too late. And they come from the man who built the architecture that produced the consequences he is now deploring.

In 1997 Jack Straw, as Home Secretary, launched the Runnymede Trust report titled Islamophobia: A Challenge for Us All at the House of Commons, giving the word the full imprimatur of the British state and embedding it permanently in British political discourse. The word coined by Iranian fundamentalists to place Islam beyond criticism did not need to be invented by Straw. It needed to be legitimised. He did that. The vocal pressure groups whose disproportionate influence he now deplores drew their authority from that legitimisation. The word that has been used to silence every person who named the problems Henry Nowak's death has exposed was handed its power by the man now calling for less notice to be taken of those who wield it.

In 1999 Straw oversaw the Macpherson inquiry as Home Secretary. The report made 70 recommendations accepted by all parties. It produced what Straw himself describes as a sea change in police attitudes to race. That sea change produced the training frameworks, the Race Action Plans, the NPCC guidance and the College of Policing practice bank. The NPCC guidance states explicitly that a commitment to racial equity does not mean treating everyone the same or being colour blind. The policing minister Sarah Jones admitted this week that guidance was wrong. Sources close to Shabana Mahmood described it as clumsy. The NPCC has said it will review it.

Straw built the architecture. The guidance is its product. Henry Nowak is its consequence.

Rick Prior, the chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation representing 30,000 rank and file officers, said in October 2024 that officers were withdrawing from proactive policing for fear of racism accusations. He was suspended, sacked and barred from standing for election. The Batley teacher showed his class a cartoon of Mohammed and went into hiding five years ago. He is still there. The Bradford hate crime scrutiny panel chairman said the Manchester synagogue attack came from the Muslim community and was sacked within days. Every one of them said what Jack Straw is saying today. Every one of them paid a price for saying it. Jack Straw is saying it from retirement with no consequences whatsoever.

The policing minister Sarah Jones declined when asked directly to deny that two tier policing exists in Britain. After days of the government insisting there is no such thing, the minister responsible for policing has declined to deny it. That is not a clumsy answer. It is the most honest thing any minister has said since the body cam footage was released.

Lady Lawrence, whose son's murder produced the Macpherson report, said the police should be at fault for what happened to Henry Nowak. That is a generous and significant observation from someone who has every reason to see this differently. It deserves more attention than it has received.

Jack Straw is right that things went too far. He is right that vocal pressure groups exercised disproportionate influence. He is right that claims of racism must be swiftly rejected when the evidence demands it. He built the framework that made all of that impossible. An acknowledgement of that would be more useful than an interview. An apology would be more useful still.

The court heard glowing character references for the Manchester Airport brothers , praising their families standing in the community . One came from their elder brother , serving Greater Manchester Police officer Mohammed Abid . Today we learn Abid himself was suspended in July last year for making racist remarks about a colleagues accent .
The same system that locked up people from Facebook posts now bends over backwards for violent thugs , whilst quietly investigating its own for racism .
Two tier justice aren't conspiracy theory's anymore , They are just facts on the ground . Thoughts?
