I'm prepared to bet good money that Jenrick will be next Tory leader.. And that's frankly excellent news for everyone who doesn't want to see the Conservative party anywhere near power.

The Liverpool attack wasn’t terrorism. But the far-right didn’t wait for facts – they had a script ready. This piece by The Bear cuts through the noise to show how outrage is manufactured. Read how this works ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

What, as a nation of English, have we become? A country that sighs relief when the alleged perpetrator is described as white male but would have rioted had they been anything but white.

If anyone thought Bruce Springsteen would back down after Donald Trump’s threats, last night he doubled down: “In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just society”

To all the hard of thinking gammon out there, immigrants are pioneers, the adventurers, the thinkers, the challengers of the norms. Immigrants were the early adventurers, enabling man to prosper, and they do the same today. The gammon, however, are the Croods, still living in their caves...

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur. Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur. (📷: Suzie McCann, eBird)

⚠️ Reminder - On Monday, the UK Covid Inquiry turns its spotlight on Test & Trace, one of the most costly and catastrophic failures of the pandemic. The investigation will revisit the £38 billion programme that promised world-beating results but delivered chaos and waste. #ukpolitics

With respect, I think those stating Trump is appeasing Putin are missing the point. During Germany's agression Britain and France needed time to build their forces. Appeasement was the chosen vehicle. The US is stronger than Russia. Therefore, Trump is a coward (nah), or he sees self enrichment.

LibDem MP Max Wilkinson makes an important Point of Order, "A Reform UK social media account digitally manipulated those comments to give the appearance that I had described Nigel Farage using a four letter expletive" "This is misinformation, it is fake news, this is Trumpian tactics"

Thought of the day: "God bless America", there is either no God, or she/he can't be arsed until Americans take a sober look at their gun culture... the maybe God may bless America via the Vatican...

Thought of the day: We need to reduce immigration! This is controversial. However, until the "decent law abiding folk" experience this impact on society and the economy, then we will continue to have the likes of Farage spouting victimised!

So, has the rural farming community of Lincolnshire, for the second time in ten years, shot itself in the bollocks?

Thought of the day: If we allow Nigel Farage to get closer to the leavers of power, the we got what we deserved! Additionally, it's exactly what the plutocrats wanted! And will only increase inequality at the expense of all except the plutocrats and their shrills...

The UK is in a race to the bottom. Parents now see education is dirty word, always up for a fight with teachers. We turn out gullible kids, who believe any shit they see online, brainwashed to do the bidding of those that control the narrative. Are Labour about to surrender?

A policeman is cleared of murdering Chris Kaba but now faces gross misconduct hearing. It seems there is no middle ground in people's opinion. My question, if a GP was found not guilty of murder, but faced misconduct, then would we be equally divided, or would we support natural course of action?

Ten men have been sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court for grooming and sexually exploiting girls in Greater Manchester. Guess who’s not talking about this? The usual suspects. It’s dangerous to remain silent about some, and over report others. Source: www.cps.gov.uk/north-west/n...
