“I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie” - UK politics June 23 on

Londoners who want to support Palestinian businesses could do a lot worse than getting food from branches of Hiba, another Palestinian restaurant/take-away.

looking forward to all the op eds railing against the people making these threats

🇵🇸 Our march for Palestine has begun 🇵🇸

Lol.

EXCL: Jeremy Hunt expected to quit as MP before next election, according to senior Tories, who say chancellor is aware he could suffer a “Michael Portillo” moment on polling day - by ⁦@tobyhelm⁩ https://t.co/zwZSaODTRD

Missing a once in a lifetime opportunity to give anyone a little bit of pleasure.

Today tens of thousands of people will take to the streets in towns and cities across Ireland in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

I joined my local rally in Dungannon, and the message from there and across the island to the Israeli government is clear and simple - STOP.… pic.twitter.com/8bJDhkl4Cf

🚨NEW: the gov has announced an indefinite delay to banning no-fault evictions following "extensive lobbying" from the UK's biggest landlord group

it also comes days before michael gove delivers the keynote speech at the national landlord conference...https://t.co/GAots79nHi

so what i'm hearing is if renters don't want to be treated like shit they should form a lobby group?

Better still, become Tory MPs.

There is one: ACORN

The House of Commons is the landlords' lobby.

journalist after journalist today, from all sections of the media: "wow these revelations about Boris Johnson, who was universally known as a callous, feckless, air-brained cunt before he became Prime Minister, are completely surprising"

what chance anything improving ever?

I have instructed my lawyers to take the first steps in commencing legal proceedings against @ChrisClarksonMP for a highly defamatory statement about me.

given everything lately (COVID enquiry, sunac X musk etc) I'm curious as to why this thread isn't on fire.

Braverman's next wheeze will probably be setting the homeless on fire. I'm guessing that with all this bollocks she's angling for a) leadership of the post-defeat Tory party, b) leadership of some far-right splinter party if the Tories properly implode (unlikely this would happen but good for her to hedge the bets), or c) a lucrative post-politics speaking/consultancy career funded by dark money. Possibly a combo of a and c?

(xp) People have given up on the Tories - apart from Braverman's insanities - all the action is over in the Labour Party thread.

Oliver Dowden tells @skynews: "I'm a bit disappointed that if you look at the moral indignation after the murder of George Floyd in the US with the Black Lives Matter movement, we haven't seen across civic society the same kind of moral clarity that Jewish lives matter."

"moral clarity" seems to be the phrase/euphemism that supporters of Israel's military campaign have settled on to describe their position? Saw lots of people were using it wrt Robert Habeck's speech as well

BLM of course famous for indiscriminately killing cops and their families on an industrial scale

I'd say people that reduce BLM to a dubious rhetorical prop don't really give a fuck about racial equality. I could be wrong, but it seems like a bit of a tell to me.

NEW: Humza Yousaf has said that pro-Palestinian marches in London on Armistice Day should go ahead.

He added that describing them as 'hate marches' is 'unacceptable' and that he was 'beyond angry' at the UK Government's response to the planned demonstrations. pic.twitter.com/UBPsNiTYPd

Racism on tube trains

While Braverman & Co try convincing us that those supporting Palestinians are all spreading hate they have been inspiring prejudice themselves. These messages have been found in my local neighbourhood over the last couple of days. One in a school & the others on the central line. pic.twitter.com/Ipech1vakW

The home secretary likened the recent marches calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas to sectarian rallies in Northern Ireland.

There's someone who's never seen an Orange Walk, no way are pro-ceasefire marchers a bunch of pug ugly neanderthals for a start.

1/2 With my historian of British fascism hat on: this is the first time in history that a serving Home Secretary has called on far-right crowds to attack a left-wing social movement

— David Renton (@Livesrunning) November 8, 2023

The local Lab group here are doing a vigil outside her constituency office.

The gas part is that Suella just called the Orange order terror marches because she can’t tell the difference between bog paddy and loyal paddy. Unreal stuff https://t.co/nLitPZdfl4

OTM. Typical though.

'there will be time for proper discussion about how we got to this point'

yeah but will there tho, rly

At this point, she is baiting Sunak more than anything but he’s too frit to sack her, much less remove the whip so she can’t challenge his leadership.

AFAIC no punishment is too good for her.

I’m just glad she’s taking the woke met police to task

she seems have got bolder and more deranged since she had her leadership makeover, whoever leads them is likely facing electoral oblivion next year. She can't even internalise her bigotry in a coherent way, no hope for her!

Like so many of these far right scumbags she seems incredibly stupid.

A living example that sex cults can't fix everything.

a customer asked if we had the nadine dorries book in stock today, we didn't. and then went on to say that they'd seen her on tv this morning and thought she made a lot of sense. what a country. luckily I was wearing my mask so could face no complaints about the expression on my face of sheer incredulity that greeted this statement.

did the mask stop you from smelling the booze on their breath?

For all those mentioning Suella, Camden Council is a Labour run council and the MP for this area is Keir Starmer btw

What Suella said is not law so this is off their own doing https://t.co/VWbdxR7wua

That would be something to lay at the feet of our Red Princess council leader Georgia Gould - Phillip’s daughter.

Far right wankers kicking off at the Cenotaph, wow, never saw that coming.

Nazis gonna naz

The far right paying their respects to the war dead. Absolute disgrace. ⁦@SuellaBraverman⁩ this is on you pic.twitter.com/0Rbspj4bfE

I’m sure Tommy Robinson and his vile ilk would have just stayed at home had Suella Braverman not said anything. Certainly wouldn’t merely have been provoked by a massive pro-Palestine march on armistice day
