Bans Kanye West but allows Trump’s bombs 👇
Harry Eccles@Heccles94
Should the UK be allowing the USA to launch strikes from our air bases?
English
I am staggered that our PM…
…when faced with Trump’s threats to wipe out the Iranian civilisation and EVERYONE is demanding that we distance ourselves from him, refuse our bases, stop our King visiting…
…decides that he should be tweeting about Kanye West at a festival.
🤦🏻♂️
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
English
Starmer could throw a spanner into Trump's genocidal works by immediately refusing to allow any US bombers to take off from British bases.
This is the moment of truth @Keir_Starmer
English
@oldishbird1 @Phil_Jones01 @NerineHalton @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer I resigned membership after Iraq, but definitely thinking of joining again
English
@Phil_Jones01 @NerineHalton @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer I’m seriously considering joining for the first time in my life. I’ve voted Labour for years but never been a member of a political party, partly because I was in a politically restricted job but I’m happy with Starmer and the direction he’s taking us in.
English
It’s weird how so many people get offended by me saying I’ve rejoined the @UKLabour party and it is the greatest political movement in the history of civilisation and I’m very proud of my @UKLabour Government and its leader @Keir_Starmer
English
@LeeAndersonMP_ @reformparty_uk That's a few places off the holiday list if you do..they will retaliate
English
Enough is Enough.
@reformparty_uk will not give them one single penny in reparations.
Fyi these are the countries currently making demands:
Antigua and Barbuda
Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
CARICOM
Dominica
Ghana
Grenada
Guyana
Haiti
Jamaica
Kenya
Montserrat
Nigeria
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
St. Vincent and Grenadines
Suriname
Trinidad and Tobago

🚨 A growing number of countries are demanding reparations from Britain. These countries ignore the fact that Britain made huge sacrifices to be the first major power to outlaw slavery and enforce this prohibition. Of the countries demanding reparations, Tory and Labour governments issued 3.8 million visas to their nationals and sent them a staggering £6.6 billion in foreign aid over the last 2 decades. Enough is enough. We are putting these countries on notice. From this point, should any country formally demand reparations from Britain, a Reform government will respond by immediately halting the issuance of new visas to their nationals.

@ZackPolanski He has said that US can't use bases . Congratulate please, don't play politic
English
We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash.
Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do?
Suspend US bases now.

@christopherhope I am sure you will jump on your paymasters side, not as an independent journalist

An interesting political divide over the banning of US rapper Kanye West from the UK is emerging.
PRO
Sir Keir Starmer on X: "Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless.
“This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.
Sir Ed Davey via press release: "I’m glad the Government has listened and done the right thing by banning Kanye West from coming to the UK to peddle his hatred."
AGAINST
But Nigel Farage has told me: "I would not buy a ticket - the free market would sort it out. Unless you can show it would incite violence, it is a slippery slope."
More discussion now on @GBNEWS.

Lifting the two child cap is yet more welfare, paid for by working people.
A third of the beneficiaries are recent arrivals to the UK.
Reform will defuse the benefits bomb bankrupting Britain.
We’re for workers, not welfare.
English
@IsabelOakeshott @lukejcr Surely that's still ok, they honour holidays
English
@peterquiffs @lukejcr Parental leave. Not maternity leave 🙄
English
Imagine holding your newborn child.
And being told you have to go straight back to work, simply because you’ve just started a new job.
That ends today.
For all those hardworking parents who were denied those first precious days:
Labour has delivered day one parental leave.
English
We are the only party putting on regular public events in this campaign.
20,000 people have come along to hear our message so far.
What are the others so scared of?
English
@IsabelOakeshott @lukejcr I think if they left within days, if they said they were pregnant or not, I think it would be very noticeable......
English
Imagine running a small business. Grinding though the mountain of costly red tape associated with hiring someone who may or may not work out. Imagine within days of starting, they bugger off on “parental leave.” Imagine knowing your new hire didn’t tell you they were about to have a baby and do this. The other thing you’ll have to imagine? Economic growth.
English
It means more foreigners will be having more children for more benefits…
The Labour Party@UKLabour
From today, the two child limit is lifted. That means 450,000 children will no longer grow up in poverty.
English
On May 7th, Labour may lose 100+ seats.
If they do, Keir Starmer’s position won’t just be weakened, it could become untenable.
After trying to postpone parts of these elections, the verdict from voters will be even clearer.

@PeteHegseth @POTUS He’s doing that thing again where parents count to ten and their kids know that when they get to ten NOTHING HAPPENS.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

@christopherhope You know this isn't true, wel, l as a journalist you should do...
