@CleoFoxx_1 What type of whale is it?

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, appeared on Piers Morgan’s show and said what too many politicians are afraid to say.

She stated clearly that jihadists are members of a death cult. Their goal is to murder and to die as human sacrifices for Allah. They are not allies of Britain — and no amount of appeasement from Keir Starmer will ever change that.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Been getting a lot of very positive reaction to my extended interview with @KemiBadenoch - which has now had over 600k views.
Her party may still be very unpopular but Ms Badenoch is getting increasingly popular.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

This from Jess Phillips’s resignation letter is devastating for the prime minister

“Over a year ago I presented solutions, long worked on by brilliant civil servants that would end the ability for children in the UK to take naked images of themselves. 91% of online child sex abuse is self-generated by children groomed, tricked and exploited in to abuse. The technology exists to stop children being able to take naked images of themselves. We could make this possible on every phone and device in the country. We could stop this abuse. It has taken me a year to get you to agree to even threaten to legislate in this space. Not legislate, just threaten. This is the definition of incremental change. Nothing bold about it. The announcement was meant to be in March, I'm still on a promise this will happen in June, I've given up believing it. How many children were left without a safety net in the time we dilly dallied and worried about tech bosses?
This is just one example.”

“Labour would freeze your council tax”

“Not a penny more on your council tax”

“No ifs, no buts”

What happened? Labour lied.

Send Labour a message on 7 May. Get Starmer out. ⚠️

Spread the message.

@AWPRCO The Union Flag, a symbol of hope and unity, should never be used to intimidate or exclude any individual or group.

Another stabbing in London, this time on two Jewish men in a traditionally Jewish part of London. @MayorofLondon needs to get a grip….along with @metpoliceuk….London is lawless!

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

When I was in No10, somebody failed developed vetting before their proposed appointment to a sensitive post.

We were told immediately, and were advised - correctly - that this person could not be appointed.

Who gave that advice? Sue Gray - later Starmer’s chief of staff.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

The Prime Minister will today ask us to believe that despite having previously been the Director of Public Prosecutions, he never thought to check if a twice-fired Govt minister had passed security vetting before he made him our top diplomat.
Pigs may also fly.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

BREAKING: The Prime Minister was advised by the Cabinet Secretary to get security clearance for Peter Mandelson before he was appointed, but ignored the suggestion.

Sky's @SamCoatesSky uncovered the key documents and has the story.

@jeremycorbyn @haveigotnews I agree. Speaking out against Zionism is fundamentally different from antisemitism

@AWPRCO @sainsburys @SainsburysNews @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin Outrageous that these nets are still permitted!

“You don’t produce anything.”

Tucker Carlson completely nails the sad decline of British based industry and manufacturing and its devastating impact on so many communities.

[Rupert Myers @RupertMyers]

Unless there is a lot they aren’t telling us, it looks like the BBC has found a whole new way to mess up these incidents, in this case (potentially) by overreacting and following zero due process

[Claire Silverstone-Bright is Writing @HadriansWalker]

This story is so concerning. If the investigation into allegations maintained his innocence, yet he is still punished professionally, what hope is there for justice or meaningful rehabilitation?

[siobhan kennedy @siobhankennedy4]

The Metropolitan Police tells me it has not received any new evidence related to the former BBC DJ Scott Mills “At this time, we have not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. As with any other matter, we will assess new information should it come to light.” Which does beg the question why his contract was terminated by the BBC? @scott_mills @BBCNews @Channel4News

[spiked @spikedonline]

The BBC’s sacking of Scott Mills makes a mockery of due process. We now know the Radio 2 DJ was once interviewed by police about some historic allegations – but so what? That is hardly proof of wrongdoing, says Luke Gittos

@danwootton @danwootton importantly this was investigated and evidence was insufficient to lead to prosecution. Therefore he was innocent.

33,000 Hospitality businesses closed since the amazing @RachelReevesMP made her 1st budget. Thats 33,000 places that employed people and helped pay taxes. The industry needs a VAT cut now. There will be more businesses to employ and pay taxes
