The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.
The wife of a Tory councillor posted: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f* hotels full of the b** for all I care.”
Her husband said: “She’s a good person and she’s not racist.”
Funny how these not racist people say the most racist things. https://t.co/nvAMOhhegW
At the Green party we say it like it is.
This is fascism.
Not protests, not pro-British marches. It's fascism.
There is no excusing fascism.
There is no appeasing fascism.
Fascists must be opposed. Always.
Fascism will never win.

So yesterday far right racist rioters in Sunderland threw rocks & missiles at Filipino NHS nurses on their way to provide emergency cover at the hospital.
Your silence is deafening @Nigel_Farage & your band of inciters of racist hate.
Shame on you.

Protests? Asking questions? They’re throwing bricks mate. They’re looting shops and setting light to cars and beating up coppers. If this was eco-crusties throwing piss at a painting you’d be calling for them to throw away the key.
@Chloejaneriaz Why she is still out there?
If she was a peaceful “Just Stop Oil” protester she would have been arrested, prosecuted and jailed for at least 5 years.
Peaceful Protesters get a 5 year in prison for public disturbances. What about those thugs? They have destroyed public property!
Hello @elonmusk - any chance you could take time out of your @KamalaHarris trolling to take a look at this 🧵 and ask whether you are doing enough to stop your platform being used by far right extremists to use lies and conspiracy theories to spread hate and create violence? Or do you get your kicks off this stuff?
The Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Orchestra are in Italy for their first overseas tour in over 10 years, performing in a series of concerts as part of the Florence Youth Festival. Here they are performing their first concert at Piazza Dei Priori, Volterra in Tuscany.
We’ve received a lot of messages in the last 24hrs, sorry I couldn’t reply to everyone but I’m sure you understand why. Thank you for your kindness and support, it means a lot.
Teddy my 7 yr old daughter was at the horrific incident in Southport yesterday.
She went in with her best friend, a friend she was so lucky to have; the smartest, prettiest little angel from the best family you could ever wish to know. It breaks my heart to say her little friend has been taken away from this cruel world. We just pray she is in peace and her family find the strength to get through this.
Her Mum, My Dad an I were one of the first at scene, when only 3 officers present so the media reports of it being armed officers who detained him is not true - it was local, every day police officers. They defied orders and risked their own lives to protect the lives of children from our community.
The things witnessed will live in our memories forever. Those same police officers; who get paid less than a McDonald’s manager, got home, hugged their own kids and got back up this morning to do it all again, are now being attacked on the streets.
No matter what your political views are, they are not the problem. Please, for the sake of the poor victims and their families, STOP THE VIOLENCE.
We will forever be in debt to Leanne, Heidi, Greg, Joel, John and every other hero who helped save so many lives.
💙 ❤️💜
Let’s make this wonderful woman go viral. The far right have hijacked the absolute tragedy in Southport but this woman is standing fearless in the face of fascists. What a woman

Utterly dreadful decision by @BBCNews to platform the far right Lee Anderson in response to the GM Police assault video. Not his constituency, not a party leader, just a divisive racist gobshite. Petrol on a fire by the BBC. Shameful editorial choice.
I’m glad King Charles has been given a 53% pay rise. Hopefully he’ll be able to afford that roomier golden carriage he’s always wanted, for when he‘s due to make a speech about child poverty.
Honoured to be appointed as Minister for Women & Equalities.
Having managed a women’s refuge before entering Parliament, I know how important the portfolio is.
The brief is vital to Labour’s mission to break down the barriers to opportunity.
I can’t wait to get started.
Today I went into Parliament and took my mum along to see where everything is! The rest of the week will be more training sessions and our official “swearing in” ceremony.
