It’s objectively fucking terrifying that the Vice President of the United isn’t just furthering an extremist far right fallacy on the global stage, but openly interfering in British politics, all while weaponising the murder of a young man. His poor family. This is NOT normal.

I will end Judaism. Jews need to leave the UK if they don't obey & assimilate. ⬆️ Hate speech, right? I should be on a list & banned from leading protests, right ? Tommy Robinson said it about Muslims 3 days ago. 👀 Where are the calls to ban his protests?

🇪🇸SPAIN'S IRENE MONTERO GOES OFF ON EU VICE-PRESIDENT KALLAS: “Israel has been for 24 hours Kidnapping European Citizens And You’re SMILING?!” “What would you do if it were Iran? If it were Russia? But since it is ISRAEL, you smile and look the other way.” “Shame on you”

Imagine a person who is not at all racist or antisemitic. They are horrified & distraught at the massacres & abuses of Gazan civilians & our government’s support for the state perpetrating it. What, may I ask, are they supposed to do?

Natasha Devon, "I hear this accusation all the time, that anti racism groups don't do enough to include Jewish people" "I just want to try and pour some clarity on that if I can" "When the appalling stabbing happened, Keir Starmer called a COBR meeting. He brought together some leading thinkers to ask what more could be done to tackle antisemitism. The Met police called for more funding to protect Jewish communities. The media gave it pretty much its undiverted attention for days" "That is the correct response" "That response did not happen when a Muslim woman was targeted by a hit and run" "When a Sikh woman was sexually assaulted by a racist who thought she was Muslim" "Or when 50 mosques were targeted between Juen and October 2025" "We don't see the same response" "Antiracism campaigners are looking at where they are needed" "When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish communities we have the correct response" "When it happens to other communities: women, LGBT, black people, Muslims, not the same urgency is applied"

Doesn't look dodgy at all....

You stop the war crimes and we’ll stop the protests

Apparently he's not being charged for the stabbing of the third person (a Muslim man BTW). Or is he and the @metpoliceuk don't want us to know there was a third as it changes the narrative quite a bit?

The entitlement from UK MPs is terrifying.

The right to protest isn’t a gift from government. It’s a democratic principle, hard-won and easily lost. Last night the government tried to smuggle through a “cumulative disruption” power that would let police ban protests simply because other people had protested in the same area before. Think about what that means: your right to march could be extinguished by someone else’s march on an entirely different issue. They knew this wouldn’t survive proper scrutiny - so they denied MPs the time to give it any. I supported the cross-party motion to oppose the cumulative disruption amendment. The government used its majority to force it through regardless. Protest is supposed to be disruptive. That’s the point. From the suffragettes to the anti-apartheid movement, it was cumulative, persistent, inconvenient protest that changed this country for the better. One of the most authoritarian political parties in modern British history is leading in the polls. As I said in the chamber when the government proscribed Palestine Action - a progressive Labour government should be building firewalls for our democracy, not tearing them down and pitch-rolling for Reform. This Bill isn’t law yet. It now returns to the Lords, and this fight is far from over.

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000 migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

The UK has just joined a war whose first casualties were 150 Iranian school girls. We have joined the side that slaughtered the school girls.

Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.

1. We support international law 2. BUT we ignore Israel's breaches 3. AND we ignore US's breaches 4. BUT we "support international law" @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP OUR weak and immoral and frankly stupid "leaders"

Students: cost of living is soaring and we can hardly afford to feed ourselves Government: I hear you - how about higher fees and more debt?

People seem very confused about “digital ID”. It is not the same thing as carrying ID cards that people have in the EU. It is a wholly different beast. It means you have a number. An identifier. Your ability to do anything can be turned off by the government at any time. Whether that is taking a flight, buying something on Amazon or sending a parcel. Whether that is looking at the internet, opening a bank account or accessing the NHS. In the EU, we are rapidly moving towards a digital ID. The EU is pushing companies like Amazon to require it to make purchases or Facebook to “verify” your account. Right now it is voluntary and works mainly across government agencies - healthcare, mail service, tax authorities. But in due course it won’t be voluntary. It does absolutely nothing to stop illegal migrants from entering the country or working in the black economy.

There are so, so many horrible things Digital ID could be used for. And there are almost no benefits. I don't understand why anybody wants it.

Share if you agree.

Liberal Democrats cannot support mandatory digital IDs. People shouldn't be criminalised just because they don't want to hand over their private data.
