Is he serious? If you’re going to call out our police as a senior politician when they’re tackling a rabid stabber who they believed to have explosives on, you better damn well get the facts right. “It’s a fast moving situation” doesn’t wash

So just to be clear. It’s illegal because they haven’t provided details of the organiser, but you’re going to help them along anyway. It seems you’ve been getting your training from our border force
🧵 We have imposed conditions on a student march that is expected to take place tomorrow, Wednesday, 7 October.

Brilliant! They’ve turned off their comments 🤣 They know the anti-Semitic beast they have created and are too ashamed to face the music. They will have to live with the fact that they have given birth to the most hateful party in British Politics. Any attack they launch on Reform, Restore, or Conservatives will get thrown back in their faces.

Trumps reaction to Burnham saying “10 year direction” is hilarious and all you need to see You can see him thinking “this guy thinks he’s got 10 years?” 🤣
What happens when you elevate a municipal mayor to the post of prime minister without consulting the electorate.

Beware of the sleight of hand of Labour politicians today. Look at this hand so you don’t look at this hand: ‼️ “Net migration has dropped to record lows!” ➡️ This is being fulled by record number of working Brits leaving due to failed Labour policies, where 300,000+ non EU migrants entered the country (excluding asylum seekers) ‼️ “We have reduced the amount of asylum seekers housed in hotels around the country to record lows” ➡️ This is because they have moved record numbers into HMOs in your communities making your streets even less secure. With you still footing the bill. Hear what they say, but look for what they don’t say

A few thoughts on what can only be described as a circus in Westminster over the last few days. 🧵🧵 1. Those with short memories seem to be conveniently forgetting Labour’s central promise at the last election: to replace chaos with stability, competence and a government that delivers for the public. No fair-minded person could call the current situation anything other than complete chaos - worse than much of what we saw under the last Conservative government.

4. If Andy Burnham wins the seat and then launches (and wins) a leadership bid to become Prime Minister, it would confirm that our so-called “democracy” is becoming increasingly meaningless. Burnham doesn’t just represent a different personality to Starmer - he represents a materially different political outlook. His platform would be so far removed from Labour’s manifesto that he couldn’t claim any democratic mandate without going back to the country.

5. Labour will have no intention of calling a General Election - because they know they’d likely be punished. But that is exactly the point. You cannot campaign on one platform, win power, replace the Prime Minister with someone offering a completely different direction, and then pretend the public has already given consent. That is not stability. That is not democracy. That is Westminster marking its own homework. What do you think? Is this democracy… or time for a General Election? #LabourChaos #MakerfieldByElection #AndyBurnham #GeneralElectionNow #StarmerOut

BREAKING Due to the loss of many Labour strongholds and intense Labour losses all around the country, Starmer believes he has targeted the problem and will give the public what they want. Labour have now decided to: - Raise taxes even higer - Punish farmers harder - Cripple small business further - Increase small boat crossings drastically A true man of the people with his finger on the pulse of British politics 🤣🤣

I think the main thing we can take from these results so far is as simple as: People really don’t want undocumented men placed in their constituency. Only issue is, Reform may win so many councils that they’re not going to have any places to put them! Well played @ZiaYusufUK @Nigel_Farage 🫡
🚨 NEW: Number of council seats at 1:35am ➡️ RFM: 37 (+37) 🔴 LAB: 6 (-34) 🟠 LDM: 5 (-2) 🟢 GRN: 4 (+3) 🔵 CON: 2 (-3) ⚪️ IND: 2 (=) 5/136 councils declared 56/4992 seats declared

The big problem with Polanski is not only that he ‘misunderstood the facts in a fast moving situation’ It’s that his instinct was to blame the police officers before he knew what the full facts were.

A country can not continue to exist if this becomes the norm When you disincentivise work and incentivise state benefits, innovation and growth die
🚨 1.5 million migrants are on Universal credit. 600k more are on other state benefits. 2.1 MILLION IN TOTAL Sir Jim Ratcliffe was right.

People are being unfair on Zack, he was just practicing manifestation: - He manifested that the woman’s boobs get bigger - He manifested that he was a full member of the National Council - He manifested that he was a spokesperson for the Red Cross Sure, none of these things actually happened, but what are we all if not dreamers?
🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski was not a full member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy despite telling clients he was [@thetimes]

Well, usually Jews are running in London as someone is trying to kill them, but Zack thinks that's more of a 'perceived threat'

Ashok thinks Jew haters would take a look at this building and think it's a Mosque. Ashok is an idiot
“Former synagogue” It’s now a mosque. Weird to omit that.

If the Green Party had nothing to say about the Bell Hotel in Epping being placed in an area that the local population strongly opposed. The only thing they should say to migrant centres being placed in their constituencies is 'Welcome"
