If the government is going to continue to use family statements to avoid scrutiny, we have a reasonable right to know how they are written and who (beyond the family) is involved.
🚨 NEW: The family of the Belfast attempted beheading victim has called for calm "We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country. We depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people"

Looking forward to joining @WillKingston and @HfordwichHilary on @GBNEWS LATE Show tonight from midnight to 3am UK time
I’m stunned. The Sunday Times is reporting Hampshire police wanted to portray Henry Nowak as the aggressor in an official statement three days after his death, but changed their wording following outrage from his family. I’ll be covering this shocking and contemptible revelation from the hosting chair on The Late Show Live. @GBNEWS 12am.

U.S. VP JD Vance has blamed Henry Nowak's death on the UK's mass migration - earning a rebuke from No. 10. "The Vice President really cares about the UK. He cares about defending the values that make both of our countries great." @PCBarnes123 @_GregSwenson

Here’s what prominent Brits said as America’s cities burned. Very fortunately, protesters mourning Nowak have not ignited infrastructure, murdered anyone, or otherwise cut an antisocial swathe of destruction through the UK. To the extent any of them care what America thinks, we urge them to remain peaceful—and we expect they will. Just like Henry Nowak and just like Americans, ordinary Brits have been slandered as racist. Thus violent. They’re not.
The Trump administration is attacking our democracy. Not in secret, but openly on social media. Starmer needs to show some backbone and call this out today. We can’t turn a blind eye to this blatant interference any longer.

Always great conversation w @Benleo on the @GBNEWS LATE Show. In this clip I discuss American optimism and the economic outcomes. Statism and hostility to the private sector in Europe vs economic freedom: USA GDP per capita $94k vs UK $61k ($52k in France). The UK needs tax reform, deregulation and drill baby drill.

Totally agree. Class act
Sir Trevor Phillips proving once again that he’s one of the most balanced and fair minded commentators around. He has the courage to call out his own side: “Frankly if you want people to vote for you, I don't think that the best way is to start by telling them that the guys they've just voted for are stupid and racist… And then we wonder why they hate us.”

Always a pleasure to join @GBNEWS. Iran Navy gone, it’s just a band of pirates. Ceasefire over, this is surrender management. Yes the Iran regime is suicidal, we will accommodate.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 19 years since the last state visit from the monarch of the UK to the US, @realDonaldTrump speaks on the British roots of American liberty pointing to the reason we have @_Sarah_Elliott heading our Special Relationship Unit. The Anglo-American relationship is much deeper than the occupants of the White House, Downing Street, Congress or Parliament. It is a transatlantic civilisation with centuries-old roots. "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence—but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea... They set loose the ancient English love of liberty, and Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny and pride."

I think #BBCPolitics @_GregSwenson shoud regard Simon Weston (whom he referred to as 'the person') with a bit more respect. Weston (CBE) is an iconic war hero injured during the Falklands. Swenson seems to be a big ignorant.
