It is a bit late for Lisa Nandy to profess to be a staunch supporter of free speech — only to then leave X.
@lisanandy has served as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in one of the most authoritarian governments in modern times, whose policies have posed a direct threat to free speech.
As a close ally of our next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, should she remain in post, she will undoubtedly be the figure leading Andy Burnham’s war on the free press.
If Lisa Nandy truly cares about free speech and tackling misinformation and disinformation, she should engage in debate, not vacate the stage.
More conversation, not less.
He cried for himself.
Not for Southport.
Or Southampton.
Or Belfast.
Or the rape gang victims.
Or all the other victims of policies he chose to continue or worsen.
Keir only decided to show a human emotion when he finally took the hint and resigned.
Narcissist.
If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:
The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.
@elliereeves Not every mum would be proud to admit they are exceptionally poor at parenting. Well done. Social services will be interested in visiting.
@BBCNews So, using the assumption that anything can happen in science-fiction and therefore it was a one-size-fits-all agenda quota fulfilment machine didn't go as well as intended.
Some of Henry Nowak’s friends were at today’s protest in Southampton confirming his family were watching the livestream from home - Don’t believe Keir Starmer.
@MattChorley Not good enough. You need to state precisely how many times you made this "mistake" and admit that it did change the content of the interview.
🚨Remember 2020 when they pulled down the Colston statue?
Starmer came out saying it was ‘completely wrong to pull a statue down like that,’ but then added it ‘should’ve been taken down long ago anyway.’
Dodds said she’d ‘never condone vandalism’ but we ‘need to understand why they did it.’
Last night in Southampton, after the Henry Nowak protests turned into bricks and flares getting chucked at police, the line from Labour is just straight condemnation of the ‘disgraceful’ violence.
No rush to ‘understand the anger’ this time.
The double standard is pretty obvious.
Political law and order shouldn’t flip depending on who’s doing it.
