Amazing how Elon Musk and the Kremlin always end up singing from the same hymn sheet: ‘Abolish the EU!’ Of course they want the world’s biggest democratic bloc broken up — strong, united Europe is terrible news for authoritarians and tech-bro emperors.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

I’m so sad about the state of our world. I’m devastated for the Jewish community and for Manchester. We are a diverse city where people of different faiths co-exist peacefully together. Hate will never divide us. Sending love and solidarity to my Jewish friends and to the community . I’m so sorry.

The ‘Raise the Flags’ campaign isn’t harmless patriotism — it’s fronted by Andy Saxon, a convicted violent racist with deep ties to the EDL & Britain First. Don’t let the far right wrap hate in bunting. I remember The National Front doing similar in the 1970’s

Fantasy flights, camps on barracks, and binning human rights law. He’s not solving migration — he’s stoking fear to stay relevant. Same old Nigel, selling anger because he’s got no real answers.
On Tuesday Nigel Farage will publish his proposals for mass deportations, Prison camps, leaving the European Convention on Human Rights & scrapping the Human Rights Act, quitting the Refugee Convention and the UN Convention against Torture - is that a country we want?

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

Rest in peace and glory , Holy Father. Pope Francis was a genuinely good man, on the side of the poor and the marginalised. He was a voice for peace, tolerance and reconciliation in our society. He was a beacon of hope, positivity and light in our world. ❤️ 🙏🏾
