Shameless bullying by odious little tin soldier Jenrick of people who just want to serve the public.

This shouldn’t be worth taking seriously ofc, bar the manifest risk that our politics will now dissolve into an auction over how many judges each party promises to sack.

Top Tory names judges he would sack for bias bit.ly/3KE7cBY some have allowed immigrants to stay in the UK for reasons Robert Jenrick disapproves of. He wants Ministers to appoint (and sack) judges. But top judge Sumption warns this could lead to an authoritarian state
Robert Jenrick names judges he would sack for ‘pro-migrant bias’
The shadow justice secretary has accused ‘activists’ within the judiciary of having links to political causes that compromise their independence

Gotta say, I’ve not noticed that at my university. A very welcome development is that it’s much less “white” than it used to be. It’s also very active in pursuing diversity and widening participation, and has a large scholarship programme for students from across the African continent.

Does it not depend on what exactly universities are offering? Some maybe more interested in expanding online learning provision. We know not all students can study in UK, for financial, professional &/or personal (family visa restrictions). Accommodation in UK is tight too & again hugely expensive.

An aside that’s worth making. Lord Heseltine is 92. That’s pretty impressive. Clearly Reform Ltd and the Tory car crash are keeping him fighting!

Why is Victoria Derbyshire pushing Reform Ltd talking points (ie their lies)?
Reform are a neat example every accusation is a confession. They are nest of corruption & criminality.

Israel's cheerleaders have opportunistically seized on a heinous antisemitic attack to silence opponents of genocide.

Our freedoms are being stolen - and we are headed to a very dark place.

It starts with Palestine protests. But where will the crackdown on Britain’s democratic freedoms end? | Owen Jones
In making dissent a privilege, not a right, Labour is crafting a repressive toolkit. Imagine it in the hands of a Farage government, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

cynical responses, in at least one instance of which he was pulled up by host Alan Rusbridger. Hearn whenever he opens his gob to mouth off. And then of course, good old Shabama Mahmood. Ambition? Money? Or … Power corrupts, … hmm?

You need to start naming these people. I’ll make a start. Alex Hearn and Dave Rich of Labour against Antisemitism & Community Security Trust respectively. These two men are divisive extremists aiming to shut down speech they don’t like. Rich demonstrated this on a recent Prospect podcast with his

A pint at 10am? 👀 Cleverly too.
Is that what it takes to brace yourself for more Tory lunacy? If Houchen had any decency, I’d understand his drinking to cope with the corruption he’s up to his neck in.

Politicians, the police and the media want millions of us to imagine we are alone in grieving the slaughter of Gaza's children – and that our grief is shameful. They need us to succumb to their lies.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

So, what she really really wants to do is deport all those white people in UK?
Or to identify and set aside all those white people and then deport everybody else who’s left?
