As children don't get to choose their parents, they should never, ever be punished for the parents' shortcomings. It is these children that are most in need of society's help.

On the anniversary of Jo Cox's death at the hands of a far-right terrorist, you'll never guess who Shelagh Fogarty is having on to LBC as a guest to discuss violence against women and girls. A member of Reform UK. 🤬 The most divisive party in the country, built out of the far-right empire of the 80s and 90s.

If only BORIS JOHNSON RICHI SUNAK LIZ TRUSS had been SCRUTINISED as much as they SCRUTINISE Keir Starmer this country wouldn't be in THE PICKLE as it is today The Right Wing Media have crucified him and will do the same to any Labour Leader #bbcr4 #bbclaurak #PoliticsToday @theJeremyVine #NickFerrariLBC #GBNEWS

Russia was behind the arson attacks targeting PM, and Tommy Robinson was one of the figures who spread Russia's lies about the motives for the attack. Coming shortly after his trip to Moscow, this is yet more proof that Yaxley-Lennon is a traitor working for Russia. The arsonist's handler was "a young Russian diplomat, schooled in information warfare by spies and propagandists, who is close to the highest levels of power in Moscow. His name is Evgeny Lyukshin. He is 23 and the son of a senior official." "Russian operatives ran their sabotage and provocation campaign remotely through social media and the messaging app Telegram, [...] creating fake online far-right and Muslim groups, which were used to organise acts of vandalism in the UK and stir up division and fear." "Accounts based in Russia posted lies about the motive for the arson attacks targeting Starmer, which were spread by figures such as [...] Tommy Robinson." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

The “Women and Motherhood Protection Act” from a party with a candidate who allegedly said women have abortions for “vanity purposes”? And a councillor who reportedly said “some women should never have left the kitchen?” Seriously?

Well, this is also fascinating. The responses to this thread are overwhelmingly dominated by Kremlin denialists. Clearly organised. Very reminiscent of peak Brexit years.

No, the left are not Jealous of Elon Musk, We don’t want to be trillionaires. We want a world where children aren’t starving to death whilst trillionaires hoard money.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved. B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

So turns out the threats to Starmer’s house were from Russians. Guess who visits Russia and takes coin from them… Yaxley Lennon is an unpatriotic fraud and a grifter

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000 migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

Why is this always framed as "banning children from social media" rather than "banning social media companies from exploiting children for profit"?

RT @peterjukes: Did the Oxford Union invite Lord Haw Haw to speak during the 1940s in the interests of free speech?

Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had.

🚨 NEW: The BBC has revealed Russia has been setting up fake far-right and Islamist groups in the UK to stoke division Operatives paid people to vandalise mosques, spread extremist propaganda and inflame tensions after the Southport riots

The media has already crowned Andy Burnham, just as it did with Boris Johnson. They have a childish thing about jovial mayors but no evidence whatsoever that making them Prime Minister is a good idea. They do us no favours.

It looks as though Vladimir Putin may have ordered an arson attack against the British Prime Minister last year. That is an incredibly serious escalation and shows why we must redouble our efforts with Ukraine and the rest of Europe to resist and deter Putin’s aggression.

No you won’t mate. You’ll announce a proposed policy. Hopefully one that involves your boss and his deputy paying their full taxes I know you’ve been pretending to be the Shadow Chancellor for months but pretending to be the actual Chancellor is a bridge too far.

lets be honest everyone in the uk knows and will admit that... Starmer is doing a much better job than the previous 3 prime minsters

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Paedophiles that West Midlands Police caught under 'Operation Satchel' who they called 'Every Parents Worst Nightmare'. Notice anything about them?
