If this is what the Department of Education is about now, then maybe it should be abolished

Just now on French TV: due to Iran striking various countries, Keir Starmer has decided to allow US planes to use British bases.

Fuck off, pardon I'm French

Brummie legend Foka Wolf has really annoyed the "Weoley Warriors" who have spread England flags all over South Birmingham like measles, and I am so proud of him.

Pub breaks silence after worker abused over England flag row A group of men were refused entry into Manor Farm pub in Castle Vale

A Birmingham pub refused entry to a group of men draped in England flags, one of whom filmed himself verbally abusing the female manager, calling her a "lefty scumbag", "disgusting" and "vile" among other insults after they were told to leave their flags at the door or find somewhere else to drink.

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!

Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds

But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣

Right, let's get started...

🧵 1/

Trump Rolls the Iron Dice The uncertainties of Trump’s attack on Iran are enough to justify some queasy doubts.

“The Nazi tattoo guy who retweets white supremacists and goes on antisemitic podcasts and says both parties are the same will be a reliable democratic vote, don’t worry” I mean LISTEN TO YOURSELVES

Keir Starmer was advised to ditch net zero. He needs to re-embrace it After byelection defeat and with right-leaning advisers gone, will PM return to his instincts and embrace Labour ‘DNA’ on climate?

Isn't the idea that Mahmood also wants worse outcomes in the UK so that would be asylum seekers don't bother?

No need to supply them with weapons or ammo either. They should just use their personal arsenal.

Manchester United fans unveiled a pro-immigration banner during Sunday’s fixture against Crystal Palace in response to comments from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?

GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

It has been the choice of many PMs be they Tory or Labour, to choose bastards to be Home Secretaries.
I hope things could be different.

Mahmood’s attack on "bourgeois" voters is very similar to what Brexiters argued during the EU Ref campaign

They argued that the "metropolitan elite" in London and the South East relied on low-wage EU labour to keep the costs of coffee, childcare (au pairs), and cleaning services artificially low.

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Never again...

As in the current Labour government deciding what all future governments will be allowed to do? Not very Parliamentarian😂

YouTube video by Refugee Council Refugees from 7 decades gather to commemorate 70 years of refugee in protection in the UK

"The era of permanent protection is over"

Is this Labour government really saying it was wrong in principle to let these refugees of the last 75 years to stay, settle and become British - and they believe that should NEVER happen again in principle or practice?

Sorry Ben, but as a French citizen I won't congratulate Jordan Bardella if he becomes President next year.
And as a 30-year-long resident in Britain, I won't congratulate Farage, Badenoch or Lowe if one of them ends up at Number 10 in 2029 either.

Maybe I am not a democrat 😂

Kindertransport: the return ticket

That YouTube clip of Sir Nicholas Winton, but at the end of it the audience gets put on a bus?

Let's try something

Hey, 80 Labour MPs who claim they will oppose Mahmood reforms...

Yellow bellies, weaklings, scaredy-cats, cowards... I bet you don't vote against the reforms and fall into line with the whip.

Prove me wrong 😂

Having considered for 48 hours the best way to protect the autonomy, the equal voice and the equal right to cast a secret ballot of south Asian women at the polling station, Nigel Farage has concluded it is important to "go further" and to disenfranchise as many Asian women [+ men] as possible

Thank you Sir

Americans did it themselves by voting for Trump.
They were warned.
They didn't listen.
I hope it's not too late.

I would like such questions to be asked of Reform UK, Restore Britain, the Conservatives and to an extent Labour since Shabana Mahmood has decided to go after the blue Labour/populist/xenophobic vote with her reforms.

He didn't explain how.

And what about those on these new visas that have to be renewed every 5 years? What if they stop qualifying because they are sick, retired, unemployed or with wages below the threshold, do they get deported?

Danny Kruger angrily rejected the claim changes would result in grannies being deported.
