The new illegal migration bill:unspeakably cruel;not going to work;will result in circa 250k people incl 45k children being detained;will create a lost generation of people.
The UK govt must invest in decisionmaking instead

Watch Truth Legal's @FrancesLedbury on the BBC, on how the Immigration Bill will deny fundamental rights and fail on all counts.

Vice President Harris: As a former Attorney General and courtroom prosecutor, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, and cheaters who broke the rules. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type

THIS IS WHAT SPARKED THE RIOTS IN LEEDS
Police attended a house yesterday in the Harehills area of Leeds where they took five children away from a Roma gypsy family.
Roma gypsies are from Romania and Bulgaria, most identify as Christian, and are here legally.

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.
While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.
NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.
Labour's manifesto doesn't tell you the full story.
14 hours to stop the Labour supermajority.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Martin Lewis did not give consent for his content to be used in this political campaign. Martin explains that he remains politically neutral and he does not endorse the Conservative Party in any way.

What a fucking hypocrite. When Tory donor-Frank Hester said Diane Abbott made him “want to hate all black women” & she “should be shot” Badenoch dismissed the anger about his words as "Trivia". Tennant said he didn't wish her ill. Badenoch is faking outrage for political capital.

Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who says Muslims should be removed from the UK"
Nigel Farage, "Really"
Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who claims that Africans have a low IQ"
"Why do you think that people with extreme and unpleasant views rally to your cause?"
Nigel Farage, "We've had an awful lot of candidates stitched up in the most extraordinary way. With quotes taken out of context"
Nick Robinson, "Why do they rally to your cause?"
Nigel Farage, "The truth of it is, before I got involved Reform was virtual
Nick Robinson, "I'm asking you a different question, I'm asking about you"
Nigel Farage, "No no no no no no no no no no no. They're not there because of me"
Nick Robinson, "You founded the party"
Nigel Farage, "No no no no no no no"
Nick Robinson, "You're the owner of the party"
Nigel Farage, "I've had no involvement in the day to day running of the party for over three years. These candidates were recruited before I said I would play an active role in the party. And frankly, they were so desperate for people to stand, and we employed a vetting company that didn't do the job"
Nick Robinson, "You can't run vetting but you could find £150 billion in public spending savings"

Disgraceful for Farage to use the word ‘expansionist’ to describe EU.
Expansionism is what happens when you invade another country’s sovereign territory, like Russia did in Ukraine
What happened with collapse of USSR was countries queuing up to join EU and NATO because they wanted same freedom, liberties and democratic rights we enjoy

Looks like Netanyahu is about to use the $14 billion that the US just gave him to commit more war crimes. He is preparing to attack Rafah. Unreal to see my tax dollars used to kill Palestinian women and children

Surprise! Discredited, ousted former PM Boris Johnson didn’t stop to consider that the voter suppression rules he introduced might actually apply to him

Hundreds of people formed a human chain around a coach meant to transport Asylum Seekers from a hotel to the Bibby Stockholm for preparation to be transported to Rwanda.
They won and the Government was forced to give up.
The people are not powerless.

It’s despicable on so many levels. It’s purely performative - flights aren’t imminent so they’ll have to release them. Imagine the horror for those poor refugees. They’re only doing it as a dog whistle to influence the local elections. And sadly it’s landed for some.

Lying at the Despatch Box used to be a resigning offence. Now it is just par for the course on the JohnsonTrussSunak side of the fence
At #PMQs today, Rishi Sunak said “this week we’re cutting taxes by £900 for everyone in work”.
This isn’t correct, for at least two reasons. (1/5)

Numerous article from the BBC on Rayner…
Including one from Kuenssberg that says:
“with the police investigating, Angela Rayner is in trouble.”
Yet zero articles on Conservative Party being fined by the Electoral Commission for underreporting donations
Why is that @BBCNews?

I give you the female police officer who ran towards the gravest of danger, alone, confronted a rampaging knife man, eliminated the threat, & still managed to administer first aid right after.
If you're looking for a hero today, you need look no further.

A case brought by our client successfully challenged the adverse impact of the financial threshold for legal aid, which would have forced them to choose between their recovery and access to justice. Thanks to @dongreene at @DoughtyStreet for his help. atleu.org.uk/cases/2024/4/3/…
