#Netanyahu has long-term plan & it doesn't include #Palestinians in #GAZA/#WestBank.Assuming #IDF isn't going to kill every Palestinians. Eventually, survivors will be expelled, #KeirStarmer,#KemiBadenoch & #Farage should think where 3M+ Palestinian refugees will end up? #r4today #PoliticsLive

#Prime has original #MiamiVice TV series. It's like one long 80's music video with an occasional bit of drug dealing & shootouts. Between the Phil Collins & long camera shots of ferrari Daytona Spyder.

Shots fired between #KeirStarmer & #KemiBadenoch. So far I'd say this is the best #PMQS she has had. #Starmer may be a very good PM, but there's too much technocrat about him. He needs a vision for Britian. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have one. #pmqs #PoliticsLive

If this #Conservative MP Mark Harper is so worried about relatives putting pressure on an edlery person to get their house. Maybe take a look at care costs or inheritance tax? #Labour & #Tory MP would rather help people die than help them live. #PoliticsLive #wato #AssistedDying

How dare you make accusations against #Iseral by quoting Iseral Government Ministers' words. #r4today

How is a British female or male astronaut training on Earth news? If she'd been in space & rescued someone, that'd be remarkable news. My sister has a driving lesson. Maybe #BBCNews wants to cover that next? #r4today

Tiffany Lynch. Deputy National Chair Police Federation of England and Wales. Is a great example of everything that's wrong with UK Police. Police Federation always opposes any scrutiny of Police Officers. Every issue the police have is due to Police incompetence. #r4today

Basically, #Palestinians are one of those groups who've been dealt a bad hand & world is prepared to sit by & watch eliminated. #Palestine is a lesson to what happens if you're weak. Give it a few years & no one talk about them like no one talks about Armenian genocide. #bbcpm

#ReformUK Quisling alert. What's the difference between traitor & ReformUK official? Nothing, scratch a tinpot patroit & you'll find a traitor. The Reform guy on #PoliticsLive is an Oswald Mosley type of British patriot he's so patriotic he'll side with our enemies. #wato

I'm 100% sick of #Labour & #conservative party approach to #Iseral the idea that average #Palestinians should pay the price for #Hamas actions. Seems to be what these MP think. How many Palestinians should be starved to death before it's too many. #PoliticsLive

If #Iseral can be at #Eurovision why not #Russia? Leave politics to one side, both are at war. Why isn't #r4today/@BBCNews doing some heartfelt interview with some poor Russian singer who survived a #Ukraine drone attack? She could outline how unfair it is that Russia can't compete

#KeirStarmer & #KemiBadenoch are fools concentrating on immigration. Sure, introduce controls, but all #Labour & #Conservative plans around immigration can be blown out of water if #Ukraine fell. Or #Netanyahu expells #Palestinians or if #India & #Pakistan go to war. #Newsnight

Has anyone seen #DavidCameron? Because I've a theory that maybe #Cameron has secretly replaced #KeirStarmer. Shut your eyes & listen to #Starmer #migration speech. Is there anything he's saying that Cameron wouldn't say? Is this a #Labour Gov or #Tory one? #r4today #PoliticsLive

Considering everyone accepts Social Care is badly paid & that hurts recurretment. Main purchaser of Social Care is Local Gov. Local Gov say they can't afford it because they're squeezed by central Gov. So how do we pay staff more? Higher taxes? Or Higher immigration? #r4today

#ChrisPhilp thinks it only takes a few weeks to train someone in social care? Hmm, I'll call bollocks on that straight away. What's correct way to lift a bed bound person? How long can they stay in one position? How do you risk asses a patient with challenging behaviour? #r4today

Tory Shadow Minister #ChrisPhilp goes on #Bbclaurak & says everything #Conservative Party did in Government was wrong. However Labour is worse & vote #KemiBadenoch back into Government to do more stuff wrong again. #TrevorPhillips

In #GroomingGang Scandals, when people say they want justice, what do they mean? Offenders who assaulted girls is job for police. However, that depends on evidence, or are we saying we want police, social workers, teachers & politicians who didn't do job to goto jail? #bbclaurak

Problem with #Labour politicians talking about immigration is the voters that care about immigration any immigration is too much. Even if Yvette Cooper cuts immigration by 50K-100K. #Farage & #Badenoch will claim immigration is too high. #bbclaurak

I have to say I hope they throw away the key for Daniel Graham & Adam Carruthers. Who cut down #SycamoreGap tree. Maximum penalty for crminal damage over £5k is 10 years. The Tree was part of our shared heritage they deserve everyday of a 10 year sentence. #wato #bbcpm

#BenWallace like many #Tories & many in UK, repeats often told lie. Britain fought on alone during WW2. On day Britain declared war on Germany, British Empire where they could take own independent decisions, also declared war on Germany. Britain never fought alone. #r4today

You can already get USA Beef in UK in London. There's several high-end Steak restaurants offering #USDA certified grass fed organic beef. Also, beef from Argentina. However, that's all high-end organic stuff. Hormone Beef for mass market doesn't meet UK/EU standards. #r4today

If #Conservative party under #KemiBadenoch keeps backing #Brexit & keeps claiming any #TradeDeal done is bad. Why should anyone back them & not vote #ReformUK ? So far #Tories & #Labour have failed to make Brexit work. The issue is either Brexit or the parties in power.#r4today

UK got the 1st #TradeDeal with #USA because #Trump is in a political & economic hole caused by #trumptarrifs . He needs to announce deals quickly because #China is playing hardball. Hence, the UK/USA deal that Trump is talking up but doesn't amount to much. #Newsnight #bbcqt #r4today

Nothing sums up the lack of care #Trump gives everything. More than this image. Now, the clue for those struggling is the E & the location of the event the sculptural group is commemorating. #VEDay80\#VEDay #bbcqt #Newsnight

Did the #Tory MP Stuart on #PoliticsLive just mention the Dublin Agreement ? Which allows asylum seekers & illegal immigrants to be returned to the 1st safe EU country they made a claim in? The Dublin Agreement is an EU treaty. Britain isn't in the EU so no Dublin Agreement. #wato

#Trump needs to announce any #TradeDeal mote than #KeirStarmer needs it. If you look at #USA media, they're up in arms about #TrumpTariffs & no talks with Xi Jinping. Also Trump's cold shuldering traditional allies. So deal with Britain is good for him. #PoliticsLive #wato

So #KeirStarmer has done a trade deal with #India that #Farage & #KemiBadenoch are against. Now #Starmer is about to do a #tradedeal with #Trump. Will #ReformUK/#Conservatives also be against that? If they're then what was the point of Brexit? #wato #r4today #PoliticsLive

If you're British, I don't care what side of #Israel vs #Palestinian war you're on. You must realise if Israel with #Trump's support does expel the Palestinians, they won't stay in region. Some of the 2-3 million will head to EU/UK. #C4News
