A scandal

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Can the government explain to me why this UK trained British doctor can’t get a post yet are still giving visas for foreign doctors at her skill level?

It is immoral that the very best of our own educated young people can’t get NHS jobs & migrants can!

[Steve Pearce @pearceways]

What a mess!

🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔

Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir.

Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”.

“Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.”

Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police.

“No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.”

Why the blatant double standard, Keir?

Either rioting is bad or it isn’t?

You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak.

Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters?

Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.

@Keir_Starmer When the comments massively outweigh your likes you should know something isn’t right?

[Peter Bleksley @PeterBleksley]

Neither @SkyNews nor the @BBCNews channel covered the Nowak family statement from outside the court.
Of course @GBNEWS did.
@Keir_Starmer remains silent, like the pathetic coward he is.
Well, Good People of Britain, we clearly know who our enemies are.

@myPhilTaylor @callumjayhall @British_Airways Not good for the consumer though, who paid for both flights

[Steve Pearce @pearceways]

What a powerful statement, how can this case not have been picked up by mainstream media? It’s shocking!

[Steve Pearce @pearceways]

@JLPerchard @ANDYDB7 @Jersey_Met @BBC @metofficeUK Can’t get that right, but global warming, that’s bang on eh

[Steve Pearce @pearceways]

Whether you support this march or otherwise, I simply cannot understand how this type of rhetoric is going to help, in fact quite the opposite!

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.

We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.

They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

It is so short sighted not to put in support measures in place to help these students now, so they are best able to reach their potential. Lack of support now just means more problems and costs in the future

Graham Linehan should never have been dragged through the courts in the first place.

The real scandal is a system that wastes time on litigious nonsense driven by professional activists while serious crime goes unpunished.

We need to kill cancel culture. Free speech cannot survive if the process becomes the punishment.

This is why I asked Toby Young to review the laws that are stifling free speech so the next Conservative government can put an end to this wasting of our resources.

There is plenty of oil left in the North Sea with more to be discovered. Why not step UK production up to 1 m b/ day? Average cost £20 a barrel. Current price £70 a barrel. Most of that profit of £18 bn a year would be paid to Treasury as tax. Get on with it.

[Steve Pearce @pearceways]

And do it should

[Grifty @TheGriftReport]

86-year-old widow Edna Nightingale was prosecuted by the DVLA over a single letter typo on her car insurance.

The retired farmer from Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, correctly read out her Suzuki Splash registration over the phone to Swinton Insurance when renewing for £1,200.

A Swinton staff member typed an ‘F’ instead of an ‘S’, so the details did not match DVLA records and her car appeared uninsured.

She was convicted in her absence at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on 6 February under the Single Justice Procedure, given a three-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a £26 victim surcharge.

The 86-year-old, who relies on the car as a lifeline to reach shops and doctors because of her heart condition, endured weeks of sleepless nights and distress after receiving the prosecution letter.

Her niece Nicola Booth has now stepped in to help with paperwork and the DVLA has confirmed it will review the case and may overturn the conviction.

@JLPerchard @cricketinjersey Great pic 👏

@JEPnews @ANDYDB7 Congratulations what a great achievement at the home of cricket 🙌

Great article, it’s a real concern for ordinary people. Personally I will be hugely disappointed to lose the use of a great app like Revolut. Let’s hope our government doesn’t just kick these issues into the “long grass” as @richarddigard says it’s only going to get worse!

@richarddigard excellent article

@DavidPiesing63 @richarddigard The Channel Islands appear to be falling behind in a number of areas related to technology. It’s irritating at the moment but will likely lead to more significant issues down the line
