the judi dench cameo fucking sent me 🤣😭

.@realDonaldTrump you are a vile disgusting man. Petty and pathetic, you are a hypocrite who reeks of weakness and insecurities with no moral core. Regardless of the politics, the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted you with leadership. God rest Robert Mueller.

I am very happy to engage with you on the substance. We have never discussed your views on Islam. But you made them clear when introducing your ten minute rule bill in the Commons very recently, as you were perfectly entitled to do. I agree that mass prayer in public by large groups without prior permission, that aims to disrupt the activities of others, can be an act of 'domination' just as a sit down on Westminster Bridge or the M25 can be or any other illegal demonstration or one accompanied by threats or harassment. This did not apply to this gathering in Trafalgar Square. It was done with permission. It comprised short prayers followed by an Iftar to break the Ramadan fast. It threatened no one any more than the Palm Sunday procession ( with permission) in which I shall participate shortly where I live and where there will be hymns to the effect that Jesus Christ is Lord. Your original post says that this event 'should not happen again'. You are the Shadow Justice Secretary, perhaps one day the person who will take an oath to uphold the rule of law. As I put to you in my last post, stopping such an event would be unlawful and discriminatory unless you intend to advocate changing the law to discriminate against Muslims. Is that what you are saying? So far you have not attempted to answer this question. Lots of replies to your original post highlight that freedom of religious expression does not exist in many countries and that some of these countries have Muslim majorities and persecute minority faiths. We will, I am sure, have a shared revulsion at this. But this is surely all the more reason why we should stand up for the values of freedom under law which our forefathers have given to us. Finally you suggest that my 'world'' is falling apart'. I am not sure what world vision you are referring to. As a long standing Conservative I am a pragmatic realist about the world and its shortcomings as I might expect you to be too. I also believe that in times when there are challenges to the values of freedom and democratic pluralism there is a need for all people of goodwill to be voices of assertive moderation. Your original post comes across as entirely contrary to this and as a call to confrontation on no valid basis.

Hi @Gailsbakery. I bought four hot cross buns in Wimbledon village and they smell and taste very strongly of plastic. Maybe worth withdrawing them if you have a problem.

I called out tax exiles in Parliament. The internet had a lot to say.

I’ve found myself randomly laughing all day at how Donald Trump’s sad attempt at creating a bin Laden moment like Obama was thwarted by him wearing enough makeup to look like his mother. 🤣

@AttleeSarah80 @g_m_hodgson Tice doesn’t seem to know that local authority pension funds are already invested by private sector professionals that councils contract out to. And the higher historic returns he talks about are based on US equity returns, not investing in UK productive assets. Puzzling. 🤷

@RhonddaBryant 🙏🏾

Fascinating

The fab SMiF looking great.

@Microinteracti1 I bet he enjoyed that..

Mette Frederiksen’s ice-cold reply to Senator Lindsey Graham, “When you are done with that, the meeting can continue,” is already the kind of moment that turns legendary. According to participants cited by Berlingske, Graham looked straight at her and called her “little lady,” a line widely read in the room as degrading and sexist. Frederiksen did not raise her voice or play along, she simply reset the room and exposed the tirade for what it was: all hat and no cowboy.

@afneil You need a longer term chart. Will send one when at a computer. Using surnames is a form of respect in economics. Nobody says Mr Keynes.

NEW: 🇺🇸 Rep. Ted Lieu says Epstein Files shows Donald Trump raping children: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations — allegations — of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.”
