"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

.@ClaireHanna: "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

And again. Deflection. Diversion. Obfuscation. This isn't hard. Where is Nigel Farage's condemnation of the violence last night. He's felt able to tweet about fly-tipping this morning. Where is his tweet about innocent women and children being burnt out of their homes.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.

Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Exactly this.... 👇👇👇

[Squinter @squinteratn]

I'd have settled for 5% of this testosterone-soaked anger and passion for Natalie McNally and her unborn child.
But hey, ho.
Didn't fit the template.

@benhabib6 @Keir_Starmer It certainly isn't right for 'people' to do this. What if this was your home, would you think its right if they burned you out, because of the colour of your skin...

[Pat Irvine @irvine_pat]

@derrydoll44 @benhabib6 @Keir_Starmer Its horrendous, they're stopping cars and attacking the drivers.

[Des Henderson @desfilmsstuff]

I see an international cabal of grifters & racists are suddenly concerned about a crime in Belfast.

15 murders in Northern Ireland last year, including Adam Krzan (71) a polish man stabbed to death by Ryan Kerr… why no performative outrage? Why do Elon & Nigel not care? 🤔

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"If you want to protest do so legally and ignore the far right agitators... who wind things up and then walk away, running for the hills when trouble starts and leave the consequences of arrest and criminal charges and prosecutions to those on the ground."

Carl Whyte, Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) councillor for Belfast City Council, tells @SkyYaldaHakim

@cellah26bsky @bbcradioulster Like trying to put out the flames after you started the fire.

[John Doherty @John_doherty15]

@ShelaghFogarty Nothing more than thugs. This does nothing to help the community. Police car also set on fire in portadown.

[Police Service NI @PoliceServiceNI]

Our detectives have charged a man to court following a knife attack in north Belfast last night.

Turns out Suella Braverman(Reform MP) was Home Secretary & Robert Jenrick(Reform MP) was an immigration minister when the North Belfast attacker was granted a 5-year visa.

[Amanda Ferguson @AmandaFBelfast]

*taps mic* I am from north Belfast. People are horrified by what happened and wish the victim a speedy recovery. What we don’t need is racists from here, there and everywhere, who couldn’t find north Belfast with a map, throwing their tuppence in.

[Curtis Daly @CurtisDaly_]

Why hasn't Jenrick, Farage or Lowe mentioned this story?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Mick Lynch repeatedly humiliates Reform UK's Laila Cunningham

She then accuses Mick Lynch and Labour of spreading lies to "win the argument" denying that Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based NHS

Here are two clips of Nigel Farage saying,

1. He doesn't want the NHS funded through general taxation

2. He wants an insurance-based system for the NHS

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
