This is a defining moment for Reform. They can look at this result and properly reflect. Or they can do what they usually do - throw their toys out of the pram, scream at everyone about some Uni-Party plot, and pretend they're on course for power when they're palpably not.
So if Reeves’s claim that Brexit cost us 8% of GDP is correct it would mean we’d have grown four times more than Japan/Germany and almost twice France/Italy. Up there with Canada/US. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
In reality, even with Brexit, we were fastest growing European economy in G7. Just a tad more than France (with no Frexit).
Keir Starmer has shown more anger at people being furious over Henry Nowak’s treatment than the fact that Henry bled to death handcuffed like a criminal.
This is why he is so despised.
The Novak family made clear that the police got things wrong, and spelled out how with infinite dignity.
Police double-standards are an entirely legitimate subject for public debate.
As someone who 'took the knee' for the discredited BLM movement (which sought to abolish prisons and defund law enforcement) you are in no position to criticise anyone for politicising a death in police custody.
As a politician struggling to hold onto office you are entitled to play every card at your disposal.
But this is amoral and grotesque.
A disgrace. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad have both been cleared over the alleged assault on a male police officer.
If the races were reversed, I’m confident that this would not be the outcome.
A two-tier justice system which needs radical change from top to bottom.
If the Manchester Airport thugs were two white lads, they would've both been immediately remanded in custody, found guilty, sentenced to a minimum of 5 years each, and be in jail 3 weeks after it happened.
We all know it.
Two-tier justice.
Not a good look for Britain and our trust in the law.
Attack a police officer, walk away unpunished despite clear as day on CCTV.
Get stabbed and die bleeding after being falsely accused of racism.
The UK looks like an unserious country right now.
Why is Stonewall being consulted on foreign language GCSEs? It beggars belief that exam boards are pandering to activists whose demands for allowing trendy asterisks and whatnot in French run counter to the rules of the Académie française.
Reform voters are racist apparently. As soon as I saw this insult to millions of British people (one of the least racist nations on earth) I suspected it was from an academic. It’s impossible to exaggerate how western universities became overrun with woke ideology
