So to summarise, this is a white politician blaming a black journalist for the racism he is now actively helping to promote, after receiving the full endorsement of his own party leader

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 2d

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Hey chums , don’t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & they’ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

Trump has declared he will wage war on Sweden and Norway unless he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by Thursday - “let me make it clear, the Nobels will have blood on their hands if I don’t have a peace prize and I’m not afraid to kill children and short old men to get the prize for best peace”

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans
