Nauseating hypocrisy. You and your party’s green mongering over the years have driven BP and others away. You gave virtue signalling priority over jobs, families, communities. And now you express concern for them. Pass the sick bag. Scotland is truly run by a kakistocracy. But Scots only have themselves to blame. They keep electing self-serving numpties.

If I was the Mayor of Haifa, a city which houses the vulnerable Bahai community as well as tens of thousands of Arab Israelis, I think my response to this letter from Hackney Mayor Zoe Garbett would comprise of a string of four letter words.
She has the absolute chutzpah to claim Hackney’s performative politics is about ‘anti-racism’.
Chef’s kiss is that she is demanding a response by October 7 - was that date plucked out of thin air? Gaslighting nasty pricks.

HMRC numbers unearthed by The Telegraph show a bleak prospect for 16-18 year-olds with 75,000 Saturday jobs ( that’s 15%) having disappeared since Labour came to power and jacked up minimum pay.
Socialists love unemployment as they can then look like saviours with benefits.

Great point by @Alexarmstrong

They think Facebook is the world. I dont know how to exist in this universe of narcissistic imbecility.

If only that really was his only interest.

@SamuelWeeps @kelvmackenzie I thought the weather was in Norwegian? :-)

@kelvmackenzie Here's the spoof in question. The "Metro" line has deservedly passed into legend, but on the actual paper it would instantly have been promoted to the main headline.

@MysticStock @kelvmackenzie We could do with a Javier Milei in this country!

[Natalie Fleet MP @NatalieFleetMP]

Apologies for offence caused by my earlier tweet, which I’ve now deleted. My thoughts are - as they have always been - with Ann Widdecombe’s loved ones at this awful time.

Either all women matter or none do
You don’t get to pick winners based on race or ideology

The bedrock of our country was blind justice. It is not for the likes of you to determine who matters. The proud systems that once were the envy of the world and copied the world over have been decimated since 1997 and we are left with second rate Neo commies deciding who counts and you know what Natalie? That’s not good enough for me.
Everyone is equal under the law and damn you and Lammy and anyone else who works to undermine that principle.

One day all this will end. You’ll all be judged (blindly) and found wanting. You’re overseeing the transition of a once proud nation into a student debating society’s wet dream of identity politics and power trips.

The great men
And women who established the principles of law and order and justice and democracy understood humans and human society and what was required to create a functional and fair system of governance and justice.

You don’t get to play favourites and use a warped version of prejudice masquerading as equity to decide which women count.

We all count or none of us count

Your identity fuelled dystopia sickens me
Shame on you

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

Adam Boulton talking mean-spiritedly about Ann Widdecombe in front of what looks like a picture of himself. He describes her – a possible murder victim – as a 'spinster', a 'battleaxe', 'a bruiser', an 'old maid', and mentions her virginity, before speculating irresponsibly about her death. Horrible, horrible stuff

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

The fact is you went to court and you lost on every single on of your 97 claims.

[Bruges Group 🇬🇧 @BrugesGroup]

A by-election will cost under £300,000 - the cost of which Reform has offered to cover.

And by the way, a Labour MP literally just triggered a by-election to parachute the “King of the North” into Downing Street.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

No byelection is "fake" or a "game" or a "gimmick", regardless of the circumstances in which it was called. A byelection is always a chance for parties to make their case and have their candidate returned as an MP. To refuse to engage with that process because you don't like the manner in which the election came about is to show contempt for the democratic process.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Andrew Neil to Andy Burnham: “Despite banging on about being from the north, what distinguishes you from the other Oxbridge-educated political careerists?”

We can see why he avoids real scrutiny. Mediocre at best and with rehashed anti-Thatcher vibes.
