I think Keir Starmer has already chaired more COBRA meetings than Johnson did during the entire pandemic.

24 years ago, almost to the day, I had to respond to riots in my then parish. Here’s what I learned. 1. It’s consuming. More often than not it’s nonsense too. Violent civil disobedience is just wrong. But it didn’t come from nowhere - it’s just *not* from where you thought

Peaceful protesters should be released from prisons to make room for violent criminal rioters.

To all the police officers who have had rest days cancelled this weekend, who have stood sweltering in so much kit in this heat, to be the thin blue line between vile racist thugs and the communities who have more in common, a massive, massive thank you.

Spare me the big boohoo about the cost of immigration when you're out there on the streets burning down libraries and police stations and flooding the courts and costing the tax payers more money than any immigrant you've ever met.

You destroyed a library. It was MORE than a library, it was a food bank, a source of heat for people in the winter, a place for kids from low income families to use the internet, or do their homework. Why destroy something so vital? Yeah you’re so patriotic guys.

My feed is full of videos from across the UK showing men fighting and shouting racist slurs, attacking police, cars and buildings and setting fire to things. All this from people who claim to be patriots. #FarageRiots #FarageDoesNotSpeakForMe #FarageUnfitForOffice

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

I live Hartlepool. I live less then two miles from Murray Street where the mosque was attacked. Hartlepool isn't known for its diversity. When I moved here four years ago it was actually one of the first things I noticed. In the last year we've had asylum seekers housed in
