Prison is bad for his mental health, apparently.

Now it’s time for the UK Labour government to decide, will it follow America into carrying out one of the most horrific crimes of ethnic cleansing in our lifetime, or will it defend Palestinians and with that, international law.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.
Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.
If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK.
For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

Worth saying - whatever you think of the legislation and the principle - that courts have been clear time and again that they do not consider right to die to be a human right and that it is a matter for national parliaments to legislate on.
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick on the assisted dying bill:
“This Act, if passed, will be subject to activist judges in Strasbourg [the ECtHR] — they will change it fundamentally and we have to be prepared for that.”
