Silence from Keir Starmer.
Silence from Sadiq Khan.
Silence from Shabana Mahmood.
No COBRA meeting.
No 24 hour courts.
No fast-tracking to prison.
Nothing.
Apparently they only do that for white, working-class Brits.
It couldn't be more clear.
We live in a two-tier society.
322 Labour members of Parliament have nominated Andy Burnham for leader.
He will become PM unchallenged. This is still unacceptable right @DavidLammy?
We need a General Election NOW.
Andy Burnham told the papers he wants to stop Labour’s plan to release rapists and paedophiles from prison early.
He had the chance to vote to stop it last night.
He didn’t even show up.
NEW🚨: Twenty years ago Lord Sainsbury gave Labour millions, got a peerage and a ministerial job, failed to disclose a £2m loan, apologised and carried on giving. £18.5 million and counting.
Dale Vince donated £5 million to the Labour Party.
His energy companies then received £123 million in subsidies.
Funny that isn’t it!?
I don’t remember Sky News camping outside his or his family’s house.
THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT
She let child rapist Daniel Cieslak who pleaded GUILTY to raping a 12YEAROLD girl — WALK FREE from her courtroom with an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE. No jail,No punishment, said there was “no public interest” punishing him because he thought the girl was older!!
Cody Harper the 20 years old who was attacked by 3 men and arrested is now due in court.
He was taken to Perry Barr police station and left in the cells until the following day.
While in there he asked for water and some food which he didn't receive until towards the end of his stay.
The police told him he wouldn't be charged for the fight (the one where he was attacked) but he will be charged with assaulting an emergency worker. He will be at Birmingham magistrates court on the 23rd July.
🚨NEW: KC Anu Mohindru has been allowed to continue being a barrister despite falsely claiming that he studied medicine at Oxford University and for claiming that he was a qualified doctor.
He also claimed that he had played cricket for the Bar, for Lashings Cricket Club and for MCC, and that he was a cricketing blue having represented Oxford in a varsity match against Cambridge.
A tribunal disbarred him for telling his 23 Essex Street interviewers a “reckless, foolish and completely unnecessary lie” about studying at Oxford, and because he “doubled down" on his CV.
On appeal at the High Court, Mr Justice Johnson overturned Mohindru's expulsion, stating that it "would be wrong to impose the ultimate sanction merely because dishonesty is present".
This is Labour MP, @Jas_Athwal, he has declared 18 properties, including 15 residential rentals and 3 commercial properties, making him the MP with the largest declared property portfolio in the House of Commons.
So where's the outrage?
Where are the endless headlines?
Where are the cries of "conflict of interest"?
If owning multiple properties is suddenly a political scandal, then surely the same standard should apply to everyone, regardless of party.
You can't spend weeks hounding @Nigel_Farage over his property portfolio while turning a blind eye to @UKLabour MPs with substantial property interests of their own.
One rule for them, another for everyone else.
Vote @reformparty_uk

The Secretary of State responsible for the media has quit X — along with her department — because of what she says is the spread of misinformation, dubbing the platform a danger to democracy.
Despite professing to be a champion of free speech, Lisa Nandy also turned off comments on her post.
Lisa Nandy has served as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in the most authoritarian government in modern British history.
If she truly believes in free speech, was she not concerned that around 30 people a day are arrested for allegedly “offensive” social media posts? Why was she in the House of Commons only last week spearheading government plans to dictate what content citizens see online?
And if Lisa Nandy cares so deeply about democracy, why was she so quiet when the Government sought to cancel a significant proportion of this year’s local elections?
Most concerning of all, Lisa Nandy — a close ally of our next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham — would, if she remains in post, likely be the minister charged with leading the Government’s campaign against Britain’s free press, acting on the wishes of Burnham and Hugh Grant.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said: “DCMS is supposed to counter and deal with misinformation, not run away because it’s all too much.”

What Lisa means is she and her Culture Dept are leaving X because it's full of opinions and criticism she doesn't like. Another socialist declaring war on free speech and debate. Meanwhile, King Andy is still not taking any questions. No media scrutiny allowed. This is sinister.
Lisa Nandy had no problem using X when it helped Labour get elected. She's posted on here over 10'000 times in total since 2009.
Now she's in government, facing far greater scrutiny, she's suddenly decided the platform is the problem.
After being Community Noted multiple times and turning off replies to many of her posts in the last 12 months, walking away from X looks less like a principled stand and more like an attempt to avoid criticism.
If you're in public office, scrutiny comes with the job. Running away from it is spineless.
