Council of peace for #GAZA / #Israel with #Trump & ##TonyBlair on it is an amazing concept. That's like a council of virginity with #StormyDaniels on it.

Don't misunderstand me what happened to hostages/families on 7th of Oct is horrible. If #BBC was to give same time to relatives of #Palestinians killed/imprisoned by #IDF as Israeli victims. How long would it take #r4today to interview 67K relatives of dead #GAZA Palestinians?

Football, not just about money? It's about community, says David Kogan, head of Independent Football Regulator. David, try to get season ticket to #Arsenal / Premier league club without money. Tell them it's all about community son. I'm no Premier league fan but #IFR will be disaster. #r4today

Call me an old cynical fool. But I'm willing to bet within 6 months #Netanyahu or some other #Likud war crminal will be trying to kill #Hamas negotiators & #Trump would've moved on. I'll be hopeful but I've seen this movie before so get your halftime oranges & Lucozade & stretch.

Whoever runs UK's HMP should have a chat with London Zoo. They've a big Aviary, basically just a giant cage around a building. If London Zoo can keep raptors in, I reckon they can keep drones out.

I'd say #KemiBadenoch is betting on #RachelReeves being trapped by her tax promises or having to raise tax for next few years. As she won't be able to get tax cuts past Labour MP wanting higher spending.

Let's be real, despite what UK Tabloid press say. #Labour Gov isn't going anywhere & they'll be no General Election for years. #KemiBadenoch might have bought sometime but when local elections results roll in. #RobertJenrick will be after her.

I have to say #KemiBadenoch speech is brilliant if her #ConservativePartyConference speech is about making the party feel good & securing her leadership. But her planned tax cuts are fantasy economics.
#PoliticsLive #wato
bicycle-fat-bloke.bsky.social
Oh no, she didn't #KemiBadenoch claims her shadow cabinet identified billions in savings. That'll lead to some fun interviews. Also how much will abolishing business rate on retail cost? I can see this blowing up in #Badenoch face.

Now #KemiBadenoch is talking welfare reform. So far, I'd say she's delivering her speech well, but I'm not hearing anything new. Basically, tax cuts, welfare cuts , workers rights cut, citizens rights cuts & of course #Brexit.

#KemiBadenoch puts boot into all rival leaders & #Corbyn. Engineer #Badenoch is about to deliver her blueprint for success. Which is removing private school fees tax, inheritance tax on farms & roll back workers' rights scraping ECHR & human rights act.

Fact #KemiBadenoch is getting a cheer from #ConservativePartyConference for #Brexit. While #Britishsteel is facing tariffs from #Trump & EU. Says it all , Michael Portillo said back in 90's Europe is issue that'll destroy #Tory Party & he's 100% right.

So far, it's nostalgia & fantasy. Motherhood & apple pie,while arguing UK is stagnating? #Badenoch highlights Poland growth. Don't mention to #KemiBadenoch, #Poland's economic success story has been done in the EU & our decline has happened since we left.

#KemiBadenoch is about to deliver her. I don't even know any Nigerians' speech at #ConservativePartyConference . Not 2 mins in & #Badenoch goes head long into #ReformUK trap. Any talking of borders/ecnomy begs question why didn't you fix those things when in power? #PoliticsLive

They'll be no UK / EU deal on steel. Because at moment France hasn't got a Gov. So #Macron won't be in a position to agree any EU / UK #BritishSteel deal. MAeaning there won't be any deal. As #TheresaMay said #Brexit means Brexit. UK is basically caught in Trump , China & EU crossfire

Sure #cyberattacks partly due to legacy systems & bad security practices. I did project for company where password for Customer database was under a colleague's mouse mat. For years no issue, a months after company outsourced it's IT roles the database got hacked. #JLR #COOP #M&S #NHS #r4today

Idiots listened to liars & voted for #Brexit. idiots got Brexit now idiots are crying that EU may shut UK steel manufacturers out of EU market. So does UK press say Mea culpa? Of course, not 80% of UK steel goes to EU. #Trump shut UK out of USA & now EU will do the same.

If #RobertJenrick & #ConservativePartyConference aren't bandwagon jumping racist. Why no comment on #DavidNorris? #Jenrick banging on about #TwoTierJustice. How is it possible for a convicted murderer to be up for parole if not willing to name coconspiritors?

Are #RobertJenrick & #ChrisPhilp liars? Let's examine #Jenrick / #Philp claim judges acting for or giving advice to refugee organisations. 1st thing majority (80%) of judges are part-time. So they're still practicing lawyers & not only free to advise anyone but expected to.

#KemiBadenoch was interviewed & she claimed she didn't identify as Nigerian anymore. Hence I hate Jollof Rice Powell. Powell for Enoch & hating of Joilof as she hates Nigeria. She probably has Ghanaian ancestors anyway. (That's a burn to anyone with tenuous Nigerian link) #wato

#KemiBadenoch (AKA Kemi Rivers Of Blood, I hate Jollof rice Powell) on #r4today. She'll get UK ICE to deport 150K illegals a year. That's bollocks. Estimate of illegals in UK is 120K-1.3M. That contains those waiting on assylum, visa overstay & in process of getting leave to remain. #bbcpm #wato

#KemiBadenoch (AKA Kemi Rivers Of Blood Powell I hate Jollof rice) is on #r4today. Conducting an interview that's like a car chasing into a plane on a level crossing & then being hit by a train.

Considering #KeirStarmer quoted Enoch Powell by accident, then claimed he didn't mean it but kinda did. Now he's undermining #freedomofspeech & right to protest after #Manchester. When IRA blew up Bishop's Gate in London. Protesting even for a united Ireland didn't become Un-British. #r4today #GAZA
bicycle-fat-bloke.bsky.social
#Conservative party is trapped. #KeirStarmer moved #Labour to right & #KemiBadenoch is squeezed between it & #ReformUK. Instead of fighting Labour/#ReformUK for same redwall votes. She could try to save home counties & suburban seats Tories will lose to #Libdems.
