On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:

“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.

Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”

It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

@atrupar It's all very well stacking up the evidence that he is a functional cretin. But how do we get rid of him before there is nothing left of the world to salvage?

@steverichards14 Time for Labour to accept and admit that 46 years of Thatcherism is responsible for the root causes of many of our ills and that despite 3 landslides, Labour govts have continued on essentially the same track.

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

Anyone looking to send a parcel, for the love of God never ever use @UPS The single worst company in any field I have ever encountered.

@UniteSharon Stop funding them.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Reading detail of the OBR report, a worrying element is the growth in household disposable income is predicted to drop from 3% to 1/4%. This means effectively that, despite today’s cost of living measures, a freeze in living standards & for many an ongoing cost of living crisis

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Immigrants aren’t taking your homes, they’re building them

Immigrants aren’t driving food costs up, they’re working to put it on our tables

Immigrants aren’t making healthcare unaffordable, they go without it

Billionaires are driving the affordability crisis. Not immigrants.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

For the last fifty years, we have taxed the ultra-wealthy less and less.

They have never had it so good

The effect is the mess we find ourselves in today: austerity, increased poverty, and stagnant wages

We gave the wealthy more money, and they kept it

Reverse trickle down!

@narindertweets I don't care about his racist past as much as I care about his fascist present.

What could possibly have created a global refugee crisis?

Politicians talk as if they had no part in it. Farage, for example, did not opposed the invasion of Afghanistan or bombing Libya. But he now acts as if his hands are clean.

I make no apology for posting this map again.

@DeveloperSteve @Steve3357 @Sonos @tconrad Since the horror update 18 months ago, my Sonos has never worked properly again. It's shameful.

[Poppies From A Tray @FromTray]

Just had my latest bill from @stwater It's gone up by 42% on no increase in usage. Can we privatise these profiteers and have some control over costs?

[Poppies From A Tray @FromTray]

@harrisonmaxwell @richmondproj @RishiSunak @covidinquiryuk Much of the truth about the upcoming budget's need to raise taxes is that the bill for giving out free money during Covid needs paying.
Given I was @ExcludedUK from a single penny of support during that time, why the bloody hell am I paying back?

[Poppies From A Tray @FromTray]

@DaleVince @The_TUC @hopenothate Work with the @The_TUC to facilitate a 3 day general strike by migrants & descendants of migrants. That's when this dump will finally understand just what they give to the UK. It would be on its knees inside 24 hours.
