When the hapless Gavin Williamson is defended by the equally hapless Thérèse Coffey!

We need to remind ourselves how criminal these people were when we were collectively vulnerable and at our lowest ebb.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

Sharren Haskel, who invited Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to Israel…also thinks Tony Blair will do a good job to bring peace! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Then Starmer talks about ‘decommissioning’…but not halting arms to Israel…and f’ing Orban & corrupt FIFA was there!

Nauseating shit-show!

Hardly a resounding endorsement of keeping Kemi BadEnoch as leader from Ben Houchen! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hapless Tory councillor is ‘proud’ of UK’s high literacy rates left under the last government!

No mate, you should be embarrassed over cuts you made that left our region with the worst literacy rates!

“I defend burning of the Quran…it’s ‘free speech’…yet the pro-Palestine protests were disgusting!”

Priti Patel is awfully inconsistent…yet I bet she thought Tommy Robinson’s racist march was fine then! Prejudiced pillock that she is!

I'm a journalist from Luton and this man is talking utter nonsense. A pleasure to work on this film, chatting to incredible people in my hometown and separating fact from fiction.
