I assume that this will also apply to those protests continually terrorising local communities outside of hotels housing immigrants up and down the country every day?

Badenoch is absolutely batshit, clueless and a worse danger to the economy (which hopefully she’ll never be anywhere near) than Truss.

What she is of course saying is, you have to be white to be British.

Saying anti-genocide protests shouldn't happen today "out of respect for British Jews" is absolutely disgraceful and a deeply irresponsible conflation of Judaism with genocidal Zionism. Judaism does not equal Zionism. Shame on Keir Starmer for suggesting so.

That's the problem. Reform voters don't have a conscience.

#Tories had 14 f*cking years to fix the economy and did NOTHING but made it worse. Vote them in? It's rinse and repeat. All the money funnels to the top and disappears. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @houseofcommons.parliament.uk @itvnews.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social

This will not happen as Fartage will not want any Tory 'stars' challenging him within Reform plc.

Fast forward to 2029:
Reform U.K. win a majority and form a government with 💯% of the power on approx 30% (or -) of the votes cast. #FPTP

They can then implement the Reform U.K./Tory policy of leaving the ECHR, against the wishes of the majority of voters.

As people of colour we are constantly asked to call out issues in our community. And most of the time, rightly so. It makes us stronger. A middle aged white man makes a rounded and critical observation of some in his own community (white men) and he’s vilified by some. Why?

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

All this banning of democracy is to please friends of Israel don’t forget Starmer and his front bench labour ministers all received huge payments from friends of Israel but for what reason ?..

This is actually quite common. New builds tend not to include the number 13 niwadays, and a lot of old ones have changed the number 13 to 12b.

Surely she has a case for wrongful arrest here. This, apart from being completely rediculous, is actually quite scary?

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?
