Yaxxley-Robinson For those who don't know why he was nicked. In 2018 he was ordered to pay £100,000 to a Syrian child after sharing videos of the teenage boy being beaten savagely twice. He made false allegations that the boy had assaulted and abused young English girls. The boy and his family were driven from their home by Robinson inspired hate mobs. He was ordered to pay the BBC £500,000 in costs and banned from repeating the allegations. Yesterday he showed his film 'Silenced' which, despite the court order, repeats the allegations, so he's been arrested. The braindead racists already drove one child and his family from their home and ruined their lives on Robinson's say so. Now they're fundraising to pay a six year old fine which his 'team' are calling legal costs. In 2018, Robinson didn't have as many sheep, attempts to raise the money fell short. Now he has sheep and a fox so he'll probably raise it in no time. Making everybody who donates to the 'Tommy Robinson' fund an enabler of child abuse. You fucking idiots,

The police chief investigating Rayner previously spoke at the Tory conference and was praised by Daly, before being asked by him to reinvestigate her. Are the police colluding with the Tories to bring down Rayner? Looks like it. Meanwhile, serious Tory crimes are just ignored…

What on earth is going on here? Let me try and explain the story as I understand it. This starts with Rishi Sunak travelling on a private jet to the Tory conferences in Scotland and Wales on April 28th, which – as we know – is fairly standard for him. 1/5. theguardian.com/politics/202…

A Christmas message from the PM
“Do you work in business?" "No, I'm homeless. I'm a homeless person." Excruciating.

James O'Brien lays bare how Rishi Sunak is 'gambling' on Conservative 'callousness' overpowering striking nurses' compassion.   @mrjamesob

Bloody hell this is really magnificent from @asda Chairman Stuart Rose (formerly @marksandspencer) More of this. Much more. It’s vital that business leaders speak out in this way. Bravo. 👏

I was on BBC News this afternoon talking about the possibility of NHS strikes. No one wants to strike but if this is what we have to do to protect our patients and ourselves, then so be it. #SOSNHS
