This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Look to Singapore to see what happens when you abolish Juries altogether.
Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

This will reduce the numbers of foreign students coming to the UK and simply leave a bigger hole in the higher education budget which the government will probably fix with higher student fees for the rest of us.

keep going gang! one of these unhinged plans is bound to pay off eventually!! (does not pay off and everything is on fire)

I feel a bit sorry for George. He is taking the Reform party to task, after all. He’s just doing it to a party in Singapore with the same name. My working theory is that these people look at the bio pics and think they’re looking at Zia Yusuf so it doesn’t click that they’ve made a mistake 😂

Somehow, I don’t think George realises he’s wandered onto the Facebook page of the Reform Party in Singapore. A progressive, liberal party.

As a Brit of Indian origin, I, too, have been called an fing Pki and told to go back home.
Shabana Mahmood doesn't hold a monopoly on who can empathise with people of colour.
I think Max Wilkinson asked reasonable questions that were met with unnecessary venom.
I'm horrified by her and Labour.

"I am the one that is regularly called a fucking Paki and told to go back home" says Shabana Mahmood.
"I wish it were possible to say that there isn't a problem here and... it's just extremist right wing talking points. But this system is broken, and it is... creating the division that we all see"

Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."
But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

It wasn’t an asylum- seeker who told my British son to F-off back to Singapore. It was white British boys at a top boy’s school, where he was an exhibitioner. Apparently not being being Church of England meant he couldn’t be British.
I’d like to add my voice to those of all the others who were called P*ki, shouted at in the street and told to go home long before the far right and the media started demonising refugees. I have NEVER blamed them for racism against me. That Mahmood uses them in this way is despicable.
