Our Dad did not die of COVID19, the figures have been utterly and deliberately distorted to coerce the public into accepting authoritarian restrictions and removal of basic liberties. covid19.pilotdave.org

Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020), which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came. The PM is either ignorant of the facts — or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look. The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes, we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us. As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers. Take 2018. We made 5,500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209 transfers were agreed. In the same year, under the same convention we accepted 1,215 asylum seekers. So we were net recipients by over 1,000. The Dublin Convention did nothing to make it easier to return asylum seekers. Nearly all politicians are cavalier with the truth when it suits them. But Starmer is taking this to a new level.

@Iromg how much is the Andy Burnham bye election mullarky going to cost the taxpayer? All because of internal Labour wranglings?

@MatthewStadlen The only reason the waiting lists are down is because they have been manipulated. You must know this so you are being disingenuous at best.

Streeting is obviously talented. He’s a brilliant communicator. Waiting lists are down under his watch as Health Secretary. It’s not too late for him to get on with the job and help drive this Labour government forward. Now is not the time for a leadership challenge.

@SamaHoole Sorry, but a lot of this is misleading. Margarine, for example, was invented in 1869 in France due to butter shortages. Providing cheap food and textiles was the primary driver for many of these changes, not the demonisation of natural products. And who feeds babies raw milk?

When butter was demonised, Unilever sold margarine. When tallow was demonised, Procter and Gamble sold Crisco. When eggs were demonised, Kellogg's sold cereal. When red meat was demonised, Cargill sold soy. When raw milk was demonised, Nestle sold infant formula. When leather was demonised, BASF sold PVC. When wool was demonised, ExxonMobil sold polyester feedstock. When animal fat was demonised, the seed-oil industry grew from a niche product to the most consumed food ingredient on earth. Every demonisation of an animal product made a specific group of shareholders very rich. Every one of those products had been eaten by humans for thousands of years without incident. The science changed the moment a substitute existed to sell. Follow the money. The advice will start to make a lot more sense.

To anyone considering a leadership challenge I say - put the country first, not your own interests or those you might claim are the interests of the party. Keir Starmer has a massive democratic mandate from the public, nobody has the right to seek to depose him, nobody. Not Wes, not Ed, not Andy, not Angie. Yes Keir is unpopular in the polls, that’s current public sentiment - it’s not a mandate for getting rid of him. Opinion polls are snapshots of opinions. Local election results are always an opportunity to register a protest. Labour has a job to do, we’re not even two years in yet, things are tough - a leadership challenge would be self indulgent and illogical - in my view.

Piers Morgan, Your recent broadcast on the Tommy Robinson "Unite the Kingdom" march was not journalism. It was a performance of such breathtaking self serving hypocrisy that it bordered on a clinical study in moral bankruptcy. You stood on your televised pulpit and called Tommy Robinson "unhinged" and a "dangerous fringe figure." This is the same man you once openly credited for exposing the industrial scale rape of British children. It was a scandal the establishment including you tried to bury. You used his truth for ratings when it was inconvenient then denounced him as a lunatic the moment that truth became too popular to ignore. That is not a principled stand. It is a cowardly betrayal. Your earlier validation of him is on the record. Your current condemnation is therefore not just worthless. It is an act of pure moral bankruptcy. You helped build his platform. Now you act shocked that he is acting on the very truths you once admitted he possessed. But your dishonesty does not stop there. To claim as you have that there is "no problem with immigration" in the United Kingdom is not an opinion. It is deliberate malicious gaslighting. Over one million people did not march through London because they were bored. They marched because they feel their communities their services and their national identity are being overwhelmed. To dismiss this as mere "far right" fantasy is to call millions of ordinary citizens liars. Your lie is not a gentle misstatement. It is a calculated insult to the lived experience of a huge swath of this country. You are not a truth teller. You are a court jester for a failing establishment paid to tell the king the kingdom is not on fire while the smoke chokes everyone outside the castle walls. The Ultimate Hypocrisy You Piers Morgan are the perfect symptom of the disease you pretend to diagnose. You built a career on contrarianism and outrage platformed extremism for ratings and now pose as the sane moderate. You fanned the flames handed out the petrol and are now shocked to see the fire. The "Unite the Kingdom" march with its international speakers and transnational alliances did not emerge from a vacuum. It emerged from a media ecosystem you helped create. In that ecosystem you operate as an apex predator. You are not the solution. You are a testament to the rot. You are a hollow man broadcasting from a hollow studio telling a hollow lie to a nation you hold in contempt. Your moral authority is not compromised. It is non existent. You are a fraud and your platform is a crime scene.

Ed Davey saying the quiet part out loud. He wants PR to happen just to stop Reform. He sees Reform as a threat to democracy after *checks notes* millions of people voted for Reform to win the local elections. A liberal’s motto is if you can’t beat them, change the system.

@Arwenstar Better to listen to the GP and take their advice seriously. I think you've been pulled in by the cholesterol liars/grifters online who don't know their arse from their elbow.

I got a text this morning as my GP wants to phone me to discuss my ‘raised cholesterol.’ I’ve booked the phoned call already as I can’t waste the opportunity to tell my GP I’m happy with my results and to explain why. A ratio of 3 is excellent. So is a triglyceride level of 0.7 Imagine if I didn’t understand what these numbers actually mean, the text this morning would have worried me and I would probably be open to any suggestions my GP will have to help ‘lower’ my ‘bad’ cholesterol level.

You relentlessly pushed the vaccine on everyone for 2 years, over 60 posts about it. With ZERO credentials, you used your platform as a celebrity to coerce people in to getting the vaccine and mocked people who were hesitant. Now you're complaining about an explosion of cancers and you dont even want to consider that the vaccine caused it because if you do, you might have to admit you were wrong and part of the machine that pushed it on to people who are now dying of cancer. x.com/search?q=from%…

Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin." Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache." Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10." Patient: "And I'm tired all the time." Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil." Patient: "My memory is foggy." Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help." Patient: "I have a cough now." Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB." Patient: "I'm not sleeping." Doctor: "Zopiclone." Patient: "Heard that's addictive." Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes." Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up." Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin." Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin." Doctor: "Loperamide." Patient: "I've gained weight." Doctor: "Ozempic." Patient: "I feel nauseous." Doctor: "Ondansetron." Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications." Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline." Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?" Doctor: "Absolutely not."

Hi Richard this is you last week with Phil Tierney who among other things has said Muslims like me shouldn’t hold public office and all mosques should be closed. Cllr Gethen turned up to one of my constituency events even though she isn’t a constituent and clearly was there to cause trouble. I had a private conversation with her and challenged her on her support and endorsement for Tierney. In fact I think I said “you need to sort the racism in your ranks.” She doubled down on her support for Tierney and then left. I had a number of SEND events that day with my constituents and will continue to do so in the future. I will go toe to toe with any Reform politician and will not stop standing up for parents and children with SEND and I won’t shy away from standing up to racism. Perhaps now, Richard, you can find your voice and finally condemn the racism by Tierney … although given your performance on Kuenssberg I won’t hold my breath dailymail.com/news/article-1…
