Horrified to hear about the circumstances of Ann Widdecombe death.
We met in many Green Rooms, stridently disagreed on Brexit on a few other issues, but agreed to disagreed, and shared laughs & a sense of humour.
No one deserves the brutality she appears to have suffered
Sophie Cunningham breaks down her viral pointing meme.
DeWanna Bonner said “Don’t you point at me”
Then Sophie pointed at her for about 22 seconds in a silent staredown!

A lot of people have struggled to believe me when I say that the Australian Human Rights Commission is giving pregnancy protections in law to men who claim to be woman, because it’s so stupid it’s hard to believe anyone would say it.
Enjoy:
“The Australian Human Rights Commission could put all of their energy into getting legislation to protect ‘trans people’ on the basis of being trans, to get trans spaces & sport…. They’ve never even tried it. All they’ve done is try to get women to accept men in female spaces…”
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Imagine a woman who's been arrested and must be stripsearched. This may be late at night. She may be drunk, high or otherwise a risk to herself or others. Someone who's obviously a man walks in to tell her to take off all her clothes and bend over. If she refuses she will be forced. BTP says she can "ask for a different officer for any reason". Do you think this is a sufficient safeguard to protect her against what is obviously inhuman and degrading treatment? See above re her likely mental state, and consider the obvious and large power imbalance in this situation.
The real scandal tonight is this:
There is no way Prime Minister Keir Starmer was ignorant of the details of Axel Rudakubana's case before he took to the national stage and told the British public that it was "far-right" to suggest there was an Islamic connection to this attack.
You can imagine the phone call. "Prime Minister, you should know this is a teenager and he is in possession of a bioweapon and a terrorist handbook, as well."
He would have known within hours, even if it was only a suspicion at this stage.
He would have been told the Rudakabana was not a native Welshmen but the child of Rwandan immigrants.
He would have been told that eyewitnesses reported Rudakabana crying, "I did this for Allah" when arrested.
Starmer not only told the British public the opposite of this, but threatened the public with "the full force of the law" for even suggesting this was the truth.
People rioted because they felt that they were being lied to, over and over again, with the any suggestion of a larger problem being denied.
People were in fear for their children and told it was "racist rhetoric" to notice a pattern to the extreme violence they see on the streets of Britain.
It is one thing for a prime minister to be constrained into silence by the law and national security.
It is another to boldly take to a stage and claim the EDL were responsible for the rage; to claim that the "far-right" were the real problem here. It is another thing to frighten citizens out of challenging the narrative, to threaten and arrest those who shared eye witness accounts, and to brand those testimonies "Russian disinformation."
He command the judicial system to terrifying citizens into pleading guilty to crimes they did not commit in order, so that they might to avoid prolonged prison sentences.
In him we see a level of callousness and deceit unmatched by an enemy of the people.
Do not trust this man.
