@metropolitanpolice.bsky.social I’m confused-not generally in life- but your approach to these instances. Can you explain why one has been challenged but the other hasn’t?
ONE of these two lead to an arrest under the Terrorism Act.

Left - the Mail suggests that 83-year-olds holding a sign opposing both genocide and the proscribing of direct action groups is terrorism.

On the (extreme) right - The Spectator suggests bombing a festival is alright.

The ECHR was created by British lawyers after the horrors of the Second World War to safeguard human dignity across Europe, abandoning it now would be a betrayal of our own legacy.

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.

Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.

Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

Got to love someone saying 'Vote for Something Different' when what you're really voting for is UKIP from 10 years ago.

It's staggering how many Reform UK candidates are just recycled UKIPs.

Reform UK candidate thinks it’s ok to use this homophobic ‘joke’ in debate.

If this is the sort of thing a candidate says publicly, shudder to think what they say behind closed doors…

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes.

Farage would sell the NHS.

He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit.

He is a traitor.
