@Helen_Barnard I thought it was just happening to me.

Why am I getting posts from people I don't follow on my 'Following/recent' feed? They're not being reposted by people I follow, most aren't ads. They're just posts randomly inserted into a feed that's supposed to be people I follow. Odd.

@NJ_Timothy So let me understand. The conservatives would ban Muslims from performing any act of worship in a public place. Would this also apply to Hindus? Jews?

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@SamanthaTaghoy What a sad, narrow minded post.

British schools are now closing for Eid. SPOILER: Eid is not a British holiday. Eid is not a British religious festival. Eid is not a British statutory holiday. We are being colonised. Afghanistan wouldn’t give the day off for Easter. Syria wouldn’t close schools for Passover. No other religion waltzes into another country and expects to be treated as if they are the majority. And no other religion is expected to roll over and take it… except Christians. Freedom to practice your religion ≠ Freedom to force it on others. The national religion of Britain is Christianity. Muslims do not get special treatment in Britain over other minority religions. And they certainly don’t get to colonise our culture with theirs. Britain is a Christian nation. You immigrate here, you integrate.

On the contrary, this war underlines the stupidity and irresponsibility of the Tory party and Farage's policy of putting Trump's interests before the interests of this country

Every single time. Car domination makes city centres poorer not more prosperous. The data is very consistent. You don’t necessarily need to or should ban them, but you do need to put people first in all or nearly all streets.

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of 300,000+ to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵

Ms Truss sadly blocked me when I expressed scepticism about her economic record but I think it reasonable to call her a deluded conspiracy theorist who is essentially anti-British.

Didn't need to be in Cabinet to know how out of her depth Braverman was as Home Sec. As Dep Chairman of Home Affairs Select Comm I saw how dysfunctional she let the Home Office become week in week out. The graceless way she now blames colleagues who covered for her is shameful

We didn't put "Ego First" on our Labour membership cards. We put "Country First." Labour MPs should unite behind Keir Starmer, not fuel leadership speculation. Our country needs stability, not a return to Tory chaos.
