I fear for my daughters due to the far right misogyny being used to recruit young boys and men in this country. Tragic people arriving on our shores looking for shelter need to be treated with compassion.

There are millions of families in our country in poverty, that can't feed their children.
We can't allow that and allow rich people not to pay a fair amount of tax.

For me, the BBCโs image choice here is reprehensibleโฆ
โฆit glorifies these thugs who were intimidating refugees - makes them look like they are protesting for some sort of freedomโฆ rather than the targeted harassment of the vulnerable.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk
BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our childrenโ
We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of โsend them out!โ

Eleven more people starved to death in Gaza Strip, meanwhile our police have arrested 350+ UK protesters.
In what world does thus make sense.
Let me be clear, I've no time for murderous Hammas, I remember crowds cheering on the streets of Gaza after 9/11, and condemn both actions. Enough, Israel!

Brexit has been a success. Labour are slowly killing it
During the long years of EU membership, our political establishment forgot how to run the country
This is absolutely bonkers from Frost. Absolutely no one believes this. Brexit has been a complete disaster for our economy, for business and for our global standing.
It's about time we reversed the whole thing.

Starmerโs team seen as โtired, same-again politiciansโ, says Labour peer
Charlie Falconer calls on party colleagues to rediscover energy and not risk losing credit for big achievements
Agree on โฆ.
1) that this Govt is seen as โtired same again politiciansโ - the personal donations scandal & WFP fiasco did that.
2) โparalysis will set in, if ultimately the country thinks the bond market is determining the whole of our policy.โ
It does.

UK hasnโt seen poverty like this for 60 years, says Gordon Brown
The former prime minister backed reforms to gambling taxes in order to generate the ยฃ3.2bn needed to scrap the cap
UK hasnโt seen poverty like this for 60 yrs, says Gordon Brown in call to scrap two-child benefit cap.
Tory govt imposed it. Labour continuing with it. Starmer removed whip from 7 MPs who opposed it.
What is the mentality of Ministers condemning children to poverty, blighting futures?

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS
POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR
by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART
THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.
