Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border
In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.
I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

EU citizens living in UK shouldn’t be allowed welfare benefits, says Tory rising star
Katie Lam — who is earning plaudits on the Conservative right — calls for Brexit withdrawal agreement to be reopened.
Not a serious person. Zero mention of what this would mean for the over a million British citizens whose own access to welfare in the EU is protected by the withdrawal agreement.

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Set Ablaze
Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.
Over the weekend, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller repeatedly attacked judges, calling them part of an "organized terrorist attack" on the US government....
On Saturday, the home of a judge who ruled against Trump, went up in flames

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Reminder that an IDF prison guard is on on camera raping a Palestinian man to death, and when arrested, masked armed soldiers raided the base where he was detained and forced his release. He then went on TV and became a celebrity.
