As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”.

The man is a fraud.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Sky News, "Ukrainians are ready for anything, even the loss of US support"

"They are turning to Europe, hoping their European partners can step up and fill that void"

Ukrainians preferring the stability of Europe to the chaos of the US under Trump

Why isn't the UK preferring Europe to the US?

I rarely have violent thoughts, but I fucking HATE bullies. Watching those talentless, classless, psychopathic scumbags try to undermine Zelenskyy, one of the most courageous leaders since WWII, whilst simping for Putin, made my blood boil. Good on Zelenskyy for leaving early. Fuck them.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely
