It’s a big story & might do for Keir. However, armed forces always ask for more than can be easily afforded. Pre 1st World War, pre 2nd World War & like a broken record, during the Cold War. Defence spending was slashed by the Tories. Labour has overpromised & needs to explain.

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast:
"I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.'
"I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult.
"We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street.
"We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."

No, @BBCr4today . Don’t say trouble in Northern Ireland is being stirred up by anti immigrant people. These stirrers are anti UK campaigners, in fact its most prominent voices are spreading their hate from Russia, with assistance of The Musk family. Our democracy is under threat.

Why don’t you report the post from Yaxley Lennon last night, asking his followers to hit the streets at 7pm, in cities across the UK. Why not mention the Home Secretary who, in 2023, gave the accused right to remain. Suella Braverman, then a Tory, now of Reform.

Ch4news. Farage agreed to be interviewed by you, but just talked about the asylum seeker in N Ireland. Presumably you agreed not to ask him about the £5m. If you didn’t agree, why didn’t you ask him? If you did ask him, where’s the footage?

Crimes committed by asylum seekers: a summary.
The person arrived after Starmer was elected? Starmer is directly responsible for it and should resign immediately.
The person arrived during the Tory years? The date of arrival is irrelevant, Starmer is to blame & should resign.

Who was the Home Secretary who gave the asylum seeker in Northern Ireland (accused of attempted murder) right to remain in the Uk? They should be held to account and deported. Probably some softy lefty politician. Whoops, it was Suella Braverman of Reform. Deport her now!!!!🤬🤬

True.
On election day @Nigel_Farage wouldn’t want this video to be shared over and over of him lavishing poodle-like praise on Donald Trump.
He’s been trying to disassociate from him, let's remind everyone that vote for Reform UK is a vote for Donald Trump's MAGA.

Farage is being open about setting up his own Gestapo. And people say he’s not a facist? 🙄

This site is largely regurgitated garbage today. Something’s afoot, possibly Farage related.

More of this from UK government and yes , directly from Starmer too. This is a fight to the death.
It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

Farage might as well have in BBC newsroom tonight setting the tone as BBC reported the stabbing of an innocent man. BBC quoted Tory Philp, who’s now spinning the Farage line, despite Badenoch condemning it earlier. BBC happy to run with “two tier policing”, to placate Farage.🤬🤬

There isn’t a squib damp enough to outdo the details of the latest Mandelson garbage. There has to be more than this surely? If not, stop flogging this horse. #mandelson

Come on @BBCr4today , it’s a fact that employers do not pay national insurance for workers under age 21. Young people are not affected and it doesn’t deter employers from recruiting them, (although other things do, as Alan Milburn says). Don’t let Tories lie about this.
