@colinwforster We don’t know any more details yet - that several were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and the Hone Secretary reports that lives were saved rather speaks for itself though.
Surely far better to say “we remain open-minded and are pursuing all lines of inquiry”, particularly early on. Anything else is a hostage to fortune which risks deepening distrust.
NEW: Theresa May's former chief of staff loses the Tory whip after 'slagging off' Kemi Badenoch's efforts to toughen the partys stance on human rights and net zero https://t.co/5GsESkPjfM
The whole point of what @KemiBadenoch has said this weekend is that if you disagree over her policy red lines, then you 100% won’t be a @Conservatives candidate.
So a handful of people can “defy” Kemi all they want, but it is a gesture only.
@nikkiboy180@MrsP32233725 The two are incomparable both by nature and quantity of the posts. There’s a well established law on this - which is why we won’t see this ridiculous complaint produce anything other than a waste of police time.
I have reported Dan Hodges to the police for harassment of @Nigel_Farage
Hodges has posted about Nigel Farage and Reform 52 times across approximately 43 posts and replies on X in just eight days. Many are direct quote-tweets and aggressive replies clearly targeting Farage personally.
A significant number of these posts accuse Farage and Reform MP's of politicising the murder of Ann Widdecombe, and repeated attacks on Nigel Farage’s security procedures and finances with personal derogatory comments, and appear to incite others against him and the party.
This sustained, highly targeted campaign goes far beyond the acceptable boundaries of legitimate journalism and constitutes obsessive online stalking, harassment and incitement.
@OneYorkshireman Yes, the police should be stopping crimes now indulging weirdos who misuse the police to try to shut down tweets they don’t agree with.
Harassment as a crime has a specific definition. This simply doesn’t meet it, for good reason that this isn’t criminal harassment. Currently you’re now saying that a journalist or anyone else should be criminalised and punished for tweeting criticisms and questions in case some lunatic does something.
On and on it goes.
A wealth tax will lead to the wealthy leaving...
"So let's have an exit tax."
Right.
And how does any of this make anyone wealthier?
@CollinsMikeyc Like many people I have a lot of frustration with failures of policing, including the wrongful investigation of people for social media posts. These are reasons to oppose this nonsense!
