@KemiBadenoch Another white elephant in the making with tax payers money

@johnredwood The prime target for help seems to be old people with multi million pound houses so they can avoid inheritance tax

@BenObeseJecty Kemi actually said to Conference today she was " proud to be British " That's what Suella said too. We see through your stirring mate .

@RupertLowe10 Vote Restore. Get Labour. Simple.

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Why did you make so few arrests at the Nakba hate march, @metpoliceuk? Shouldn't every single person chanting for Tommy Robinson to be shot dead have been arrested on the spot for incitement to violence?

@EdwardJDavey The first sane thing I've seen you say

[Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

Iran has proven again in the last 48 hours that it is the enemy of civilization and a danger to the free world: targeting children, families, and the elderly with terror missiles, threatening Jerusalem’s holy sites, launching long-range missiles, and trying to blackmail the world through the Strait of Hormuz. I ask the leaders of the free world: what are you waiting for? Israel is fighting not only for itself, but for all of you

[Danny Kruger @danny__kruger]

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong.

Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square.

What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions.

What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church.

A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution.

As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree.

It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country.

Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square.

But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing.

It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture.

We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation.

The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

[David Collier @mishtal]

No. No. No.
Hundreds killed in a Pakistani airstrike on a Kabul hospital.

First the BBC downplayed it - now @BBCNews removed it from the front page entirely.

If Israel were involved, it would lead for days but no - the BBC must not talk badly about Pakistan.

Why is that?

[Brittany Hughes @RealBrittHughes]

So far, five Iranian female soccer players are being death-marched back to Iran after their family members were disappeared by the regime.

Weird, I didn’t see any Hollywood pins at the Oscars for them.

[Solidsilva @jprwood63]

@lucyjaynewhite1 Why do they appear to be in cages I wonder ?

[Solidsilva @jprwood63]

@MarkWarner Look deeper and you'll find that the Regime has killed tens of thousands of their own young people over the last few months. Worth more of your time, don't you think?

[Nadhim Zahawi @nadhimzahawi]

I really do not understand how this is not a national security threat as well as a financial threat to our Country. Why is this NOT a National Emergency & why are we not enacting National Emergency rules. 👇🏽💔🤯

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

This is utterly horrifying. A sign of the moral degeneracy of our ruling class.
Attending a party to CELEBRATE the Islamic republic when the bodies of tens of thousands of young protesters were barely cold,
Every civil servant at that party should be sacked.

[Solidsilva @jprwood63]

@PolitlcsUK Whose that twerp standing beside him nodding every time Starmer opens his mouth?

[Solidsilva @jprwood63]

@PDChina Amazing

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

No. He's a conman who preyed on women and now erases women. He's also clearly thick as shit.

[Skint Eastwood @Skint_Eastwood1]

🚨Senator John Kennedy just ripped into Keir Starmer and Labour on the Senate floor:

“I’m not a big fan of Prime Minister Starmer.”

“The United Kingdom was founded by geniuses, but at the moment it’s being run by idiots.”

The whole of the UK agrees with you @SenJohnKennedy 👏🏻
