R&T #RejoinEU

@TimesRadio @rosiewright99 @CalumAM @AlexDaviesJones MPs supported by donations from Israel, images of genocide & prosecuting people for holding up cardboard signs doesn’t really help does it? Occasional condemnation of Netanyahu’s government wouldn’t go amiss instead of preaching what people should think?

Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones MP tells #TimesRadio "there is a current level of antisemitism in the country that is totally intolerable and we need direct action. @RosieWright99 | @CalumAM | @AlexDaviesJones

@grantshapps He’d been tasered and on the ground so absolutely no need to kick him repeatedly in the head but no surprises here from the man with many names.

Zack Polanski’s intervention is not just misguided – it is frankly disgraceful. Police officers were dealing with a violent attacker armed with a knife, who had just stabbed two people in the street, and was refusing to surrender his weapon. In those moments, their job is to stop the threat and protect the public, and by all accounts that is exactly what they did. For a national political leader to second-guess those officers, amplify unverified claims, and undermine confidence in policing in the immediate aftermath is deeply irresponsible. It sends entirely the wrong signal at a time when the Jewish community, targeted here and in the past few weeks – are looking to the police for protection and reassurance. Polanski should withdraw those comments and apologise. Criticising officers who have just put themselves in harm’s way to stop further bloodshed is not principled politics – it is reckless, and he ought to be ashamed of himself.

@KirstieMAllsopp And no mention of the Union flags attached to lamp posts in Golders Green, wonder who put those up?

I love the U.K., a man can run around the streets stabbing people for being Jewish, and the issue people debate is whether the police officers trying to remove the knife from him used excessive force. Proof that we will do absolutely anything to avoid addressing antisemitism.

@KirstieMAllsopp How exactly do you know he stabbed them for being Jewish if he was mentally ill?

@misanthropicc92 Apparently up to 60 people a year are killed by the mentally ill but it’s rarely linked to race or religion.

In 2023, 61 year old Hubert ‘Isaac’ Brown was fatally stabbed in Bristol during a racist attack by a mentally ill woman. Did you hear about it? Probably not. Did it receive wall-to-wall coverage in the media? Nope. Was it even headline news? Nope. Go figure.

Have to agree with @ZackPolanski on this one, why the need to kick someone in the head who is already on the ground?

No mention of the far-right hanging out their flags in Golders Green then @BBCNews

We never knowingly buy any Israeli produce from M&S. Also boycott American labeled produce.

So let's get this straight... two sitting black councillors are deselected in Croydon. The Party's bureaucrats enforce a mandatory shortlist... and the result is KEIR STARMER'S MID-20s NIECE gets picked to stand for the 2nd safest ward? She might be very smart and capable, and might eventually be a credit to the role, but this sort of mad top-down management invites scepticism. If I was a local resident, I'd be pretty miffed. insidecroydon.com/2026/04/30/kei…

@Peston Someone known to the authorities with serious mental issues is the problem, yet we have mass media coverage because it involved two Jewish people. Random stabbings are rare and it may just come down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Get a grip and wait for the facts.

Jews, like all British citizens, should not have to hide their (my) identity to feel safe. This is a crisis. The elision in so many minds between Jews and Israel - Jews and support for the Israeli government - is pure cancerous antisemitism (and of course violence against Jews would never be justifiable even when they do support Netanyahu, and I feel slightly sick this needs saying). If you have ever suffered prejudice because of the colour of your skin, or your sexuality, or your gender or your faith, you will presumably empathise with what I am saying. We are one family. Antisemitism, like a toxic proliferating weed, needs digging up by the roots. As one part of its eradication, leaders of all faiths and all political persuasions must stand up and call out this most pernicious and ignorant of hate ideologies

@TimesRadio @JLPartnersPolls God help us.

Nigel Farage “deserves a chance” to be prime minister, agree these voters. “I’d love to see him on PMQs, just answering everybody and saying it as it is.” The Times Radio Focus Group is formed of voters who have voted for a mix of parties but now back Reform. @JLPartnersPolls

@cosmosarcive When will people realise that nothing is real and if it was we would not have an orange retard in the White House.

In 1925, Wolfgang Pauli defined the laws that explain why matter feels solid. Despite atoms being 99% empty space, the "touch" you feel is actually the electromagnetic repulsion between electron clouds. At distances of roughly 10^ -8 centimeters, these forces prevent atoms from ever truly meeting. This invisible resistance creates the illusion of contact and preserves the structure of our world.

Gordon Ramsay travelled hundreds of miles to take part in the killing of defenceless seabird chicks and turned it into entertainment. That is shameful. thecanary.co/uk/news/2026/0…

@stuzi_pants It’s a Monty Python sketch surely?

Evel Knievel… the Farage years Well this might just be the most tragic thing I’ve seen since ecumenical Jedi Russell Brand released his book on Christianity and then couldn’t pick a Bible verse out of the 7,957 available to save his own life

I am a doctor. A Palestinian. A British citizen. These are my bail conditions—for tweets: 1. One phone. One laptop. 2. No deleting history. 3. Police can inspect devices anytime. 4. One social media account. 5. A home curfew. My legal team has challenged these restrictions.

@TonyMac67s Some interesting comments from people who think it’s ok to pay public servants £90k a year to drink on the job while auditioning for clown school.

Hit the nail on the head. The stench of entitlement is off the charts. Yearly medicals, weekly alcohol and drug testing, performance reviews and more. Just to work in construction. And these pissed up charlatans are making life Changing decisions.

A note to ALL charities like the one below sending me emails saying my donation will be doubled if I quickly send some money. I will ignore such emails and may well unsubscribe.

@Parody_PM Lot of fighting age men here.

This is what made this country great – morons drinking Stella, following a man with a bucket on his head and cheering a fuckwit on a 4x4 who’s wanted in Spain for a £40m fraud. So proud to be English right now.

Remarkable stats, and even more remarkable nowhere in the article is movement/exercise mentioned. theguardian.com/society/2026/a…

I too got the sack from a waitressing job after a customer complained. Different circs, I was 17 & was sexually harassed but it was still humiliating. Imagine being proud of this particular story
