🚨 This was the moment Jeremy Hunt had no answer.
@mehdirhasan “The two biggest hits to UK growth in the last 10–15 years were brought about by Tory governments: austerity and Brexit.”
@Jeremy_Hunt “Covid, the global financial crisis, Ukraine?”
Mehdi: “They were global issues. I’m talking about ones we did to ourselves.”
That’s the point. Britain cannot keep blaming the world for wounds it inflicted on itself.

We must not allow the tragic murder of a young woman turn into attacks on men and attacks on the police.

Notice it's never - should we tax land value annually as they do everywhere else in the western capitalist world . Should we clamp down on trusts to stop tax dodging . Or 'Lord Bamford owes the tax man £500 Million should we make the money grubbing worm pay what he owes. Hardly any one gets £60,000 in benefits :-) unless they're severely disabled and need around the clock care
Is the benefits system too generous?
JCB chairman Lord Bamford has warned Britain "can’t get away" with people receiving up to £60,000 a year in benefits, saying soaring welfare costs risk a public ‘revolt’.
Is he right?
Is the benefits system out of control?

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.
We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.
They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

James O’Brien couldn’t have articulated it any better 👏👏👏
The King lecturing Britain on housing crises and poverty… while dripping in billions of jewels?
“You could house 100 homeless people by flogging that jewellery down the pawnbrokers.”
Cognitive dissonance doesn’t get more glaring than this. Spot on. 🔥👇👇👇

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift
"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"
"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"
"We didn't receive another reply"

1. How many times has this guy been on Question Time?
2. How is he able to get away lecturing others on antisemitism and attacking the UK’s only Jewish party leader while having a leader who is alleged to have engaged in antisemitic bullying?
“I think the levels of antisemitism in this country now, the levels of extremism, are intolerable”
Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf says that the threat to Jewish people in the UK “is in fact real”, and criticises Green Party leader Zack Polanski

Does Nigel farage have a fetish for Nonces?
Why does he hang out with so many men who violate the consent of their sexual partners.

Across the country people are seeing through Nigel Farage.
He would have dragged us into this illegal and unpopular war - all our bills would be going up even further under Reform.
Whether it's the North East or London - more and more people are supporting the Green Party.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is asked if Reform UK is becoming "a party of the old" as youth support falls to 8% vs 51% for the Green Party
"Polanski is tapping into a university student, half-indoctrinated youth who find Marxism very appealing"

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

The GB team will bring back more medals to that stadium than west ham have seen in their entire history 🫢🫶🏼😂
London’s bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships is in jeopardy as West Ham United are unwilling for their stadium to be used in September, due to clashes with the football season.
Rome 🇮🇹, Munich 🇩🇪 & Nairobi 🇰🇪 expected to bid.

Lowkey comes with facts and names the people pushing propaganda.
Refugees are 0.18% of the country. Over a million have no recourse to public funds. Those who do, it’s £37.50 a week. So who’s the bigger burden: the person next to you in a GP surgery, or the billionaire newspaper owner siphoning money into a tax haven?

This idiot knows absolutely nothing.
His party know absolutely nothing.
They’re leaving the ECHR to lower our minimum wage, to remove regulations on the maximum working week. It’s got nothing to do with immigration, it has no effect.
Absolute mugs being brainwashed by Reform.
Zia Yusuf claims that "real poverty does exist in this country."
