Will this apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, or will this draconian curtailment of the right to protest apply only in England? 🧐

Will it apply to 'protests' which seek to harass or intimidate asylum seekers and/or immigrants, or only to protests about the genocide in Gaza? 🧐

If only those pesky
Suffragettes had confined themselves to one protest…

Blocking for idiocy.

Jenrick complains that there are immigration judges (presumably he means the part-time ones) who spend the rest of their time representing immigrants.

Wait until someone tells him about Recorders (part-time Crown Court judges) who spend the rest of their time defending the accused.

European Parliament rejects Hungary’s request to waive immunity of two MEPs European Parliament rejects Hungary's request to waive immunity of two MEPs

Hungary had requested to lift the EU parliamentary immunity of a political rival and an antifascist MEP, but failed.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

Freedom is just another word for "a gap in the law"

In the non surprise of the year, assorted Reform run councils have found any obvious savings have already been made and, to quote Kent County Council they're already down "to the bare bones". #realitycheck

As someone has pointed out - does this mean he wants to send black and brown people to live in some of the very white rural villages?

I reckon he means to challenge Farage from the right. 🤨

I'm amused by the fact he's arguing for the abolition of private schools.
“We want all people to be living side by side.... We can’t have particular communities in this country where there is a heavy preponderance of one group or another. We want people to be living in mixed communities.”

He doesn't want areas where there is a 'preponderance' of one race over another. My kids school in rural Suffolk had one black family in a school of 1200 pupils. But that's not what he means, is it?

The reason the government refuse to regulate the media is that they do not want to.

This is what they want.

What is it with these Goldman Sachs alumna who go into politics?

Chris Mason: Why protests have started a debate over 'Britishness' - BBC News Against the backdrop of grief after the Manchester attack, there is debate about which tenets should be fundamental in our society, writes Chris Mason.

Can we say that "Britishness" is the cloak rightminded, English people have to wear when their Englishness becomes too toxic.

And of course, your reminder that the Conservatives in government enthusiastically approved every single one of the Sentencing Guidelines that they now claim are evidence of the far-right “two tier justice” myth.

When I visited in Moscow in 1982, you could ask the nice lady seated at the desk at the end of the corridor for a bathplug. It also fitted the sink.

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.

Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

The gloss is coming off!!!! He’s flakier than Sunak when you ask a probing question!!! He’s starts saying things like “you’re being rather silly now”!!!! Or if it’s a lady asking he’s gets a bit in yer face!!!! WAC!!!!

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
