This government Monster claims to have have had a hard childhood as the child of a single parent mother. Her mother was head of Granada TV who was the daughter of a landed hereditary peer. Her father was a professor. She omits consonants from her speech in order to sound more working class than Andy Burnham!

Refusing to drill for our own North Sea oil but then buying the exact same North Sea oil from Norway makes Britain the virtual-signalling, eco-nut capital of the world

Jim Ratcliffe grew up in a council house. He created a business which has paid the salaries of thousands of staff and millions in tax. You, by contrast, come from a comfortable middle class background. Your career has been in politics and think-tanks. He has done more for this country than you are ever likely to. I understand why, as a Labour MP, you seek to demonise “the Right”. But this is reductive shite.

@TahirAliMP And here is the video of you calling specifically for military action against Israel.

[David Patrikarakos @dpatrikarakos]

I wrongly gave the impression that I support the use of military force against Israel by saying we should use military force against Israel.

Paul Nowak has “confirmed that [he has] not engaged in any party political activity in the last five years” before joining the Bank of England’s Court of Directors.

In other news, here's Paul Nowak's identical twin brother, also called Paul, writing for Labour List... 🤔

It was never a ‘stretch target.’ The manifesto promise came with no caveats. It only became a ‘stretch’ when it was clear they’d never hit it — not by a long chalk. Would be more honest just to admit that. But that’s not how politicians work. They think we can’t see their dissembling.
So let me do their work for them: there is no chance — no chance — Labour will build 1.5m new homes in England between 2024 and 2029. End of.

[Rt. Hon. Alan B’Stard MP @NoWayWoke]

Imagine what £140m could do for charities like Great Ormond St

Yet the Unions (since 2010) selfishly gave this money to the Labour Party 🤷‍♂️

@C4Sport @Channel4 Why so late???

[Rt Hon Nadine Dorries @NadineDorries]

You’re ok with the £10 million Lord Sainsbury has given to Labour though and the many multiples of millions your party recieves from the unions?

Forgive me, I’m struggling. The difference is what exactly?

[Laurel and Hardy @Stan_And_Ollie]

On Nov 20th, 1975, ‘Trail Of The Lonesome Pine' by Laurel & Hardy entered the UK singles chart at No.35. The song made it to number 2, but was held off the number 1 spot by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

You posted a video celebrating hundreds of Moslem men marching. You posted no women until you were challenged, when you produced a static shot of a tiny group. You opposed a male-only Garrick Club on the grounds of power and exclusion of women. Why do you support religions doing the same?

[Lorin Bell-Cross @lorintbc]

BREAKING 🚨Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch absolutely scathing of the planned announcements on Israel.

"Labour’s obsession with Israel is rooted in UK politics. It’s got less to do with peace in the Middle East, and more to do with trying to keep the peace in the Labour party.

British Jews should not have to watch politicians condemn antisemitism while refusing to confront the ideological movements that spread it. They should not have to listen to warm words from Downing Street while seeing Israel relentlessly presented as an international pariah.

And everyone in Britain should care.

Because this is about something larger than Israel. We cannot have a government whose political inclination at every point is to surrender, whether it is on Chagos, or at Villa Park.

The government should spend less time pandering to its partisan base and more time fixing our broken economy and getting this country back on track.

Stop allowing factional and electoral pressures to determine Britain's relationships with its allies.

You cannot claim to fight antisemitism while helping to create the political climate in which hatred of the Jewish state is used as to win votes at elections."

[Andy Jones @Andyjoneswrites]

@stellacreasy Stella, do you remember loudly protesting against male-only members clubs, eg The Garrick because it was “misogynistic & backwards” such archaic men-only spaces exist?
That men only spaces “should be considered incompatible with membership of the 21st Century?”
HELLO???

I had never heard the extremely racist and derogatory 19th century term "high yaller" until this revolting racist woman used it on a British TV show to describe her interviewee on

Wish I never did

I don't wish to hear from her again
