Jenrick leak suspiciously timed to coincide with his big speech. Otherwise nobody would have noticed it.

Chicago has already seen a ramping up of immigration enforcement in the past few weeks, as well as increasingly violent altercations in the suburb of Broadview, where law enforcement has been filmed deploying tear gas and pepper gas against protestors.

Among the worse interviews I've seen a politician give. There is no way Badenoch can (or should) survive until May.

- Do you admire Nigel Farage?
- On what basis?
- Do you admire him?
- I don't understand your question.
- What do you think of him?
- Why don't you ask me about Ed Davey?" 😱 ~AA

If #trump holds his end of the bargain up, I am willing to put him on a coin.

Federal law says only the deceased can appear on U.S. currency. But on Monday, the Trump administration defended its plan to mint a $1 coin bearing the image of President Trump.

Jenrick says burning the Qu’ran is a 'free speech' thing. But wants to ban a whole series of organisations and marches.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

After spending an entire morning defending his suggestion that there are too many non-white faces in the UK, Robert Jenrick ends his speech with the line: "Let's take our country back".

'Build this new order, lets take our country back' - sounds quite Tommy Robinson from Jenrick.

I wonder what Chris Woakes thinks about being used for propaganda by Robert Jenrick.

He is a terrible speaker. But then, all politicians are terrible speakers now. Very wooden. No sense of humour.

Jenrick wants the Government to directly appoint judges.

Jenrick goes on:

Richard Hermer is a terrorist as well.

Most of Jenrick's speech is an attack on Labour. Not a word about his record in government.

Jenrick's jokes very hip: he references The Office and Blackadder.

Jenrick so far:

1. David Lammy is stupid.
2. Human rights laws are terrorist.

First past the post needs to go - it wasn't built for a five party system. Also, Tories heading for fourth and possibly even fifth place.

Chris Philp: "Now, what I've got to tell you now will shock you. There is a so-called Anti Racism Commitment Plan that literally says: policing should not be colour-blind."

Only, it literally does not. It just explains the difference between equality and equity. ~AA

Anti-racism and racial equity
Our commitment to anti-racism means

Taking a stand against racism in all its forms
Proactively identifying, understanding and tackling racial inequalities in policing
Reforming policies and practices that lead to people from different ethnic groups being over-policed, under-protected or marginalised
Working with partners to tackle the racial inequalities that exist in wider society and which are reproduced and sometimes exacerbated by policing
Our commitment to racial equity means

Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences, with understanding that these will be racialised and with the aim of reducing harm.
It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality).

You are a terrorist if you call me a racist, says Jenrick.

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

Robert Jenrick has got his list of judges he wants to sack. He also appears to think that only white people can be British.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Under any other leader Jenrick would have been sacked for saying this.

Under Badenoch he'll probably get a promotion www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
