‘Every child at our school is rooting for England, no matter their background. All of them will come in, have their faces painted with the St George’s flag. They will all cheer for the same team. If all schools did this, we wouldn’t have the problems we have right now’

Ann Widdicombe's name must be put on the wall in the House of Parliement alongside the other two MPs Joe Cox and David Amess who were also murdered.

Repost this if you agree.

Let’s honour Ann’s memory by trending #BeMoreWiddy 🩵

"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult or from hurt feelings - it is an occupational hazard of living in society"

And if you really can't take it, become a hermit"

Here is the brilliant full speech
They all loved her

RIP Widders

All those cretinous savages gleefully celebrating the brutal murder of Ann Widdecombe - a 78 year old lady who spent her last moments on this earth in abject terror - there’s a special place in Hell for you all. The universe has a way of coming for morons like you!

Just over three weeks ago, Andy Burnham was still my local mayor in Manchester. He wasn`t even an MP.
Now, as only declared candidate, he`s soon going to be PM. Without a direct mandate from the people.
If this is democracy, it doesn`t smell so good

Ann Widdecombe was a real one.

God rest her soul. May light perpetual shine upon her, and may she rest in peace.

I can’t believe what I have just read, the police think Ann Widdecombe was murdered!! What is the world coming to.

[Cristo @cristo_radio]

Seeing all the tributes to Ann Widdecome from those people who disagreed with her on most things yet still utterly adored her is just lovely.

Fifteen years ago, as a die-hard Corbynite, Labour voter, lefty and Remainer, I'd probably have scoffed at the death of Ann Widdecombe, if I'm honest. I loved Andy Hamilton's Old Harry's Game on BBC Radio 4, and she was the punchline in what felt like every episode.

Looking back, I'm quite ashamed of that version of myself. It wasn't real morality, it was performative virtue.

The last decade has been quite a journey for me, both spiritually and politically, and I don't think the two are unrelated. Watching people rush to celebrate her death, only to frantically delete their posts when it emerged she had been brutally murdered, made me realise how grateful I am not to be that person anymore.

I'm meeting more and more people who've travelled a similar path and arrived at much the same place.

Whatever your politics, don't let hatred become part of your character. Try to pull people up to your level, rather than allowing yourself to be dragged down to theirs.

RIP Ann. You were quite some human being.

We currently pay £1.5 billion a year to switch wind farms off when it's too windy.

Rachel Fletcher from Octopus Energy has just told Parliament that could soar to £10 BILLION by 2030.

Ed Miliband is writing cheques for wind farm developers before the grid can move their energy to where it's needed.
This is a political choice and it is making electricity expensive.

No one voted for hundreds of energy and natural resource guzzling data centres to plastered around the country.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

The Environment Agency can't find the time to deal with criminals who dump waste into our rivers - but they're perfectly happy to investigate volunteers who clean those rivers.

It's the same story, over and over.

Rule-breakers go free. People who do the right thing get crushed.

Six of these ten Highland Councillors voted to allow a taxi driver who raped a passenger to keep his operator’s license — even though senior police officers urged them not to.

Please note that although we’re constantly told it’s women who grease the wheels for rapists, every single councillor who voted in rapist David Brown’s favor is a man. Take a good look at them, Scottish women: these 6 men would put you, alone and unwarned, in a taxi with a man who has already raped at least one passenger.

Brown has been put on the register for life; he raped an 18 year old girl and dumped her outdoors on a sub-zero January night in the Scottish Highlands; but these 6 men - Chris Birt, John Grafton, Ruraidh Stewart, Sean Kennedy, Willy MacKay, and Duncan MacPherson - are more concerned about his finances than they are about the safety of local women.

And now I’m here and I’m very angry. I mean fuming. Strand on the Green in Chiswick and the councillor Rick Rowe of Hounslow council has said that the pubs here; the Bell and Crown, The City Barge and The Bulls Head, aren’t allowed outside seating anymore. They’ve had that seating forever and people love to relax outside in the sunshine by the river, but now, the council has said that must stop. Hounslow council govern Chiswick. Hounslow is an absolute third world shithole. All the taxes from Chiswick pay for Hounslow to survive and these idiots want to make it even harder for businesses to survive. I have no say in these pubs and they certainly haven’t asked me to post, in case someone thinks that. I’m posting because I know how hard it is to run a business. I know how hard pubs work to survive and I know how terrible councillors are. Disgusting
