The best answer I’ve heard as to why the left -traditionally- fractures and the right -traditionally- doesn’t. Great listen.
I defy anyone not to feel emotional when he talks about his return to the hotel room after his most compelling conference speech. The best PM we never had? Quite possibly.

“The Union Jack thugs have taken my flag. So, I’ve taken theirs!!!” says STEWART LEE www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Jenrick is absurdly incoherent on principles of free expression because he wants immediate arrests for "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) while turning up to court to defend shouting "Fuck Islam" while burning a Quran

The empty horror of Robert Jenrick iandunt.substack.com/p/the-empty-...

The Tory party is dead, empty, devoid of ideas, principle, self respect. This matters because of the alternative. In refusing to acknowledge their own disastrous legacy, they could only ape Reform. In doing that they have destroyed themselves.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Unlikely. It’s another level of checking. It will speed up, but nothing will be as quick as being within the EU.

“I’m anticipating a teachers’ strike very quickly *after winning* the next general election,” he said during a question & answer session at the event last month.

Private Eye is spot on. Farage is using the polls to inflate his power.

£Millions wasted so we can tie ourselves up in queues and bureaucracy.
*Cut red tape* they said. *exact same benefits* they said. *money for the NHS* they said.

“A return to the Cold War era” says Simon Calder on the new biometric rules on eu travel. Queues queues and more queues. “Heaven knows what it will be like on the first Saturday of the Summer holidays”.
Brexit. The gift that keeps shooting us in the foot. #r4today

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

She’s right ofc. Politicians slash aid budgets making life even more difficult in the poorest countries, then talk tough on immigration.. it doesn’t make sense. And the RW want to ignore climate change for short term gain & long term disasters.

His party is high in the polls, though his record is so shit, & all he does is go abroad & lie about the uk.. & instead of pulling apart his lies, his disastrous Brexit, his populist nonsensical policies, his fauning over autocratic regimes.. much of MSM pathetically & disastrously just nods along.

The most responsible person for poisoning this country by peddling hate, division, anger, blame, failure & isolationism is ofc Farage.

If you, like me, want to donate money to help the people of Gaza in various ways, but feel overwhelmed by the amount of accounts + the knowledge that some of them are scams taking advantage of people's goodness, the following are orgs and ppl that a person I know is working with:

I've responded to Robert Jenrick's vile comments in @thetimes.com

www.thetimes.com/life-style/c...

It's quite wrong to suggest Robert Jenrick is a racist. Racists believe in something. My SKETCH.

Agree. His whole career is framed by dishonest opportunism.

“In any properly functioning democracy, someone with the sort of record of dishonesty, amorality and rank hypocrisy of the Shadow Justice Secretary would have long ago been shamed out of public life.”

Honestly I hate Jenrick more than Farage. Far more sinister because of the speed of his transformation from off-the-shelf Tory mediocrity into dead-eyed National Front race-baiter

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
