This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.

It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

We're seeing a clear pattern from Reform now. We saw it in Southampton. We've seen it in Belfast. They're all over social media and the airwaves with inflammatory and provocative language. Then when violence occurs, they go to ground.

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.

Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.

Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."

Free Marwan.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

Has Jacob Rees-Mogg swapped officially to Reform UK yet? #bbclaurak

[sparkymark @sparkaymark62]

Millionaire donor Zia Yusuf invited on to #bbclaurak (again) to run through rehearsed talking points that keep the media following the Reform UK agenda, and the focus off the dodgy financing of Farage.

Brilliant!

Have to say Burnham is performing well tonight (as are other candidates - with one notable exception) on #bbcqt

.@Nigel_Farage "Pure cold rage" you asked for it. You got it.
A 72-year-old Sikh pensioner had his head stamped on. Cheekbone shattered. Six teenagers arrested.

Your words have consequences. Your silence is complicity.

Happy now? 👑

Jo White - ‘I think this was incitement by Nigel Farage.’
Leila Cunningham tries to defend Farage.

@LeRef5 @AlexanderHorne1 @Tyburn_Fleet Got it. So long as followers and fans of these posts and reposts just harass and abuse these MPs it is fine and the noble Prof. can maintain the cover of not being complicit in any actions that follow.

[sparkymark @sparkaymark62]

@FondOfBeetles I'm not a constitutional lawyer but surely it would not mean 'no guidance' as the new guidance only replaces the existing guidance when it is adopted by Parliament.

[sparkymark @sparkaymark62]

@LeRef5 @AlexanderHorne1 @Tyburn_Fleet Ohhh. A tirade. No-one is asking you to 'go-nice' on them, certainly not the Professor who just seems to want to maintain sufficient plausible deniability should some people decide to 'go-nasty' on the 29 women and 22 men who have signed it. But you do you.

[sparkymark @sparkaymark62]

@AlexanderHorne1 @Tyburn_Fleet This is sophistry. Bog all to do with who you "would never vote for". The intent is to direct attention to individual MPs to intimidate them & warn off others thinking of signing the EDM. It has already been reposted by the usual suspects to amplify the reach. But you know that.

[sparkymark @sparkaymark62]

Good to see MPs using their position to engage government on the increasing role of evangelical American groups using wealth and influence to engage in lawfare.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Everyone deserves to feel safe in public life.

But the growing threat of legal action against trans‑inclusive organisations risks silencing the very groups working to make that possible.

I’ve raised this urgently with the Culture Secretary, pressing for clarity on how the Government will support inclusive organisations in this uncertain climate.

@TheVikingDane @DaveWil05666003 @LoudBonnet I’ve been to the Barbican countless times. They exist just as the website says, and the post that claims they do not is misleading. The Barbican is a multi-level, multi-venue arts centre, not a place with only the facilities in these images. People should be a lot less credulous
