Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"

Just a post to bring the real world into this chamber.. most people I speak to don't know/ care about Southampton or Belfast.. just want to carry on living the best life they can.. and having a laugh along the way #noalgorithm #perspective

An horrific stabbing in Belfast. The person responsible must be held to the toughest justice. In case it’s not obvious - the attacker doesn’t represent Muslims, Sudanese people or refugees any more than he represents all men. Please keep the blame where it belongs.

There may well be serious questions about policing and equality guidance. But there is still no conclusive evidence that anti-discrimination policy caused the actions of officers the night Henry Nowak died. But half of British politics is acting as if there is. Piece from me on the endless unreality of Britain's culture wars. substack.com/home/post/p-201…

Why are Reform supporters trying to suppress debate about the role their MPs - Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick - had in allowing the Belfast attacker to remain in the UK. Why are they trying to suppress debate about Nigel Farage's failure to condemn last night's violence.

Just factually untrue 😂 this refers to the past 25 years, of which the majority of that rise was conservatives

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Ran the rule over last season for @LoftforWords. Some 👍, some 👎, plenty of 🤷. But are we heading in the right direction...?

"Just because you’ve got a flag in your van and you scream at people in the street doesn’t make you a patriot." Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells Channel 4 News' Economics Editor Helia Ebrahimi that being a patriot is about "loving this country and treating other people with respect", after being heckled during a previous interview.

The QPR fans slagging off all our players regularly should take note of Nicolas Madsen. Slaughtered last season and now double player of the year. Remarkable turnaround and shows how sometimes players just need time to adapt. Support them and they could become great for us #QPR

This is not normal

In a healthy democracy we would have journalists doing this kind of thing. But in the days of “Give Nigel a free pass” media MPs have to do it instead. Ps the open financial greed and grift is very much part of the “Trump’s man in London” Farage strategy

A master mass here from Micheal Martin on how to speak fluently and diplomatically - while also standing up for values, peace and European allies -

Mandelson hosted a party last April at the White House. Co hosted and funded by........... The Daily Mail, who called him a 'political genius' They didn't mention that in today's hysterical headlines.

It is worth considering that if Badenoch or Farage were Prime Minister, the UK would now be actively participating in a war with no defined end state, having not been consulted or involved in the planning. Some do not learn from history.

Quick quiz for you, Richard: Do you think the Royal Navy became depleted over: a) The space of a year or so b) A lot of years, the majority of which were overseen by a government that your party is now stuffed to the gills with former members of? Take your time...

Never seen the right wing press more out of touch with public opinion than slavishly falling in behind Trump & his war with no plan against the Prime Minister

From today’s Times. Cover price of a print copy of The Times in 2016: £1.50. Today: £3.20.

Surely we can now all agree. Labour & the Green party combined polled 66% in Gorton and Denton. Reform polled 28% Meaning more than twice as many people prefer Socialist policies than the Racist right wing Reform scum. I didn't count the Tories because they lost their deposit!

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!
