“I have totally defeated you and also transferred $300 billion dollars into your bank account”

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat. So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard? I can think of 5 million reasons why…

Today’s @independent front page Brexit has been a disaster – it’s time the guilty men felt some shame

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until this until he no longer is. Thank you

Nick Ferrari just told his listeners that he didn't even ask about the five million pounds bung. What is the point of our media if they aren't even prepared to challenge these charlatans? Put any female MP in front of Ferrari, though, and he'll lay into her relentlessly.

An Imam’s home was firebombed in Bolton. Fortunately he and his family are safe…. …but where is the media and political outrage? Where are the angry social media influencers? Britain is heading in a very dangerous direction if we don’t stand against ALL racism and hatred

This could be interesting.

Odd to see Tories claim "mass migration is still happening" as if there has been no change. Here's the latest:-

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right bbc.com/news/articles/cpqxrz…

Just spoke to a business event in the Midlands. Show of hands on whether Starmer should stay or go — 80-20 stay. Has been similar at several recent events. Really interesting to see such a chasm between political/media bubble view, and out and about. Main reasons given “stability …. May not like some of the decisions but we are used to them now … fear of similar chaos as under the Tories … feeling that any PM with a decent majority has “the right and the duty” to serve a full term … May not be the most charismatic but “can the others really do much better in the circs?” … sense that media make everything seem worse than it is … worry that “country first, party second” exposed as hollow.

Statistics - that’s the difference between Black Lives Matter and the Reform two tier policing claims. They supported one and categorically refute the other. Job done.

Has Reform commented on this yet?

Nigel Farage's work over the last 11 weeks broken down: - Parliamentary votes registered (including on immigration): 0 - Violent racial divisions stoked: 1

“I’m proud of what we’re delivering. Fastest growing economy in the G7. UK growth is up and inflation is down. Net migration down by a staggering 82%. The asylum backlog down by 46%. The fastest reduction of waiting times in the history of the NHS. Free school meals, breakfast clubs and free child care and we’re lifting half a million children out of poverty” Keir Starmer #PMQs

From the bloke who hasn’t made it into his place of work for the last 77 parliamentary votes…

Black people are 9 times more likely to be stopped & 7 times more likely to die following police restraint Twice as likely to be arrested on SAME EVIDENCE There have been 800 UK Chief Constables,1 was Black There is a Race issue in Policing & it ain’t the one being protested over

Murder of Henry Nowak is NOT our “George Floyd” A jury found Floyd was killed by a white police officer, actions celebrated by some on the Right Nowak was killed by a Sikh civilian, condemned by everyone & deserves to rot in jail Sarah Everard was our “Floyd” Never forget her

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.
