@SkyNews@Stone_SkyNews@skydavidblevins Did the UK comment on issues in Hong Kong, which China also argues is entirely its business? There are only right or wrong; domestic issues are a shield previously used only by China, Russia, and Iran to cover up wrongdoings towards their people; now, the UK's turn?
Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.
They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.
They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.
They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.
We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.
Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.
Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.
I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.
That is my focus now.
@jakonian Andy is a respectful statesman, but replacing Starmer with him can't change the fact that the faction of the radical left is accounting for a majority in the Labour Party. No one can change that.

Common sense populism versus Elite Dogma, the point is does Labour still wish to represent the working class?
