Some important context: this is the kind of sentence that was being handed out during the Kill The Bill protest in Bristol in 2021.
This "two-tier Keir" line is utterly ridiculous.

This more like what X should be used for. Far more useful and interesting than spreading hateful far-right bilge

Takes a camcorder to a hotel housing asylum seekers & films himself saying they could be Isis fighters. But it’s nothing to do with him when people set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers…

Putting aside any debate about causes there are three big public policy failures that have made it harder to manage these riots:
1. Stopping processing asylum seekers - leaving more in hotels and vulnerable to attack.
2. Cutting police numbers (still below 2010)
(cont..)

1/🧵🚨New analysis!
How much did Musk's "civil war is inevitable' reply to a tweet spreading #disinformation boost the original tweet?
TLDR: A reply from Musk will boost racist disinformation.

Three little words that would, in any honest discourse, destroy the notion that ‘two tier policing’ somehow *favours* people of colour…
Stop.
And.
Search.

How surprised should we be that Dylan Carey, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder today at Liverpool Crown Court, was out canvassing for Reform UK candidate Robert Kenyon in Makerfield last month?
Here you go, the Reform line on the rioters...
Anderson said “we all do daft things when we are young” and feels the rioters should not be jailed.
They want two-teir justice.
Chief whip of Reform UK Lee Anderson on GB News said “British working class lads out throwing stones and damaging things aren’t far right thugs”
He goes on to downplay their actions, saying they have “probably had one too many and got involved with the wrong crowd”
Anderson said “we all do daft things when we are young” and feels the rioters should not be jailed
This is the political party where recent polling showed a third of its voters support the lawlessness on the streets of Britain, in an effort to placate their own political views
It may be time Reform UK is proscribed

Easily.
Because we don’t judge our clients. Like doctors, we just help the person in front of us, no matter what they might have done.
That’s the job.
That’s what keeps the rule of law alive.
That’s what sets us apart from the politicians who denigrate us for cheap clicks.
Good to see a Labour government getting rid of this.
We’re scrapping this pointless law and creating a new partnership between businesses, unions and working people through our New Deal.
Repealing this legislation is part one of our plan to reset industrial relations so they’re fit for a modern economy.

Our teams have been working around the clock, along with the police, to charge people as quickly as possible and ensure justice is served.
So far, we have charged around 100 people. See below for our latest updates from today ⬇️

NEW 🚨 | The Government has told all public sector employers to IGNORE the Minimum Service Levels Act.
This is an important milestone in the campaign to protect the right to strike.
Labour have committed to formally repeal the laws later this year.

Tom Swarbrick: Do you worry you might get a knock on the door from the police?
Nigel Farage: No
TS: For suggesting the police are lying without any evidence.
Farage really didn't like that.
