Let me check I’ve got this right. Someone calling for entirely innocent foreign-born people to be burned alive at a time of serious social unrest is a free speech champion who must be feted. And some calling them & their hideous promoters in politics & media racist is a menace who must be silenced.

Don't get me wrong, the murder of Charlie Kirk is appalling and should be condemned by all. But why do US political figures appear more outraged by that, than with the Minneapolis school shooting from a couple of weeks ago? Where is their reaction to the shooting yesterday at Evergreen High School?

Nigel Farage just admitted he hasn't a clue how to do anything in government, which is why he needs people like Nadine Dorries. So they will be guided by one of the stupidest morons ever to hold public office - quite the sales pitch.

Thames Water, which is over £16 BILLION in debt, has just been granted a £3 billion rescue loan. Last December it was still paying fat dividends to bosses and shareholders.
This corporate greed and entitlement needs to be stopped.

Utterly despicable tactics.
The Conservatives are forcing a vote on a wrecking amendment to the Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill to push a national inquiry that Labour will HAVE to vote against.
If the Bill died now there'd be no new protections for vulnerable kids - and no inquiry.
