@Dominic2306 Didn’t the BBC do the same to Corbyn, as well as alter photos to make him look more Russian.

Yes, the system is working as intended, the BBC has lied and invented stuff for decades especially on the EU, immigration, Jews, and trump. They’ll do what the system does on everything including importing terrorists and releasing murderers who do the same immediately: just wait for the news cycle to roll on. The MPs follow the news cycle so the system knows they never have to take responsibility. Watch here. It’ll be the same as the responsibility for Chinese intel and Global Switch. Remember that scandal two weeks ago? There’s a fiasco daily. The system just ignores them all

@LozzaFox Everyone was cheering the arrest and long imprisonment when it was just stop oil. Now it’s the other side it’s not so funny. You’re either for or against free speech and the right to demonstrate all the time or you’re not.

Learn your legal rights. Use them to protect yourself from the gestapo.

@dieworkwear I used to sell off the rack suits and the 1st thing men would do when trying them on is hold their hands straight out in front, say it was too small, and pick a bigger size just so they could say they were a 44, 46 chest size 😨

when trying on a suit, do this in the store. then tell the sales associate "the menswear guy told me to do this." IG oldhollywoodmusicals

@dieworkwear The big knot.

one knot is bigger, more symmetrical. the other knot is smaller, less symmetrical. which looks better to you? IG justin__kwan

@RobertJenrick Your diagnosis may be broadly correct; but every problem you mention has been exacerbated massively by 14 years of Tory rule. Housing, sky high student debt, worst wage growth in 100s of years, energy costs, dire public services etc.

On average an illegal migrant enters the country every 15 minutes. While a millionaire leaves the country every 45 minutes. It’s the most brain-dead policy imaginable. We need to talk emigration – not just inward migration - because we are on the verge of a brain drain. Entrepreneurs are fleeing in their droves. And now we risk middle class flight too. In the past year alone, more than 10,000 millionaires have left the UK. Only China saw more high net-worth individuals leave. European countries are now stealing our lunch, with Italy and Portugal styling themselves as destinations for investor flight with attractive low-tax regimes. The best-paid 1% already paid about a third of all income tax collected: those with the broadest shoulders were – and still are – bearing the greatest burden. But the Chancellor viewed successful investors and risk-taking entrepreneurs as criminals to punish, rather than assets to court. The non-dom tax changes may have polled well in focus groups, but they’ve backfired – and the public will now pay the price. Who is going to fund increases in defence, healthcare and transport spending? Yet again, it will fall to the middle classes to bridge the gap left. The Chancellor’s ineptitude means further tax rises on working people in the autumn are now inevitable. The social contract with the middle class hasn’t simply frayed – it’s been shredded. They have been disproportionately targeted to fund a record tax burden while their quality of life has remained largely stagnant. They’re paying more than ever to get less than ever in return. The public services they use are crumbling, the streets they walk feel less safe, and the town centres they visit are hollowed out by petty crime and boarded-up shopfronts. In France, discontent leads to riots; in Britain, it seems to fall into despair. The very real risk now is that Brits vote with their feet and simply pack up and leave en masse. A recent poll showed that nearly a quarter of UK adults are considering moving abroad in the next five years. These are highly skilled professionals who are the bedrock of any country: 48% of those in the IT industry are considering emigrating, as are 30% of those in the healthcare sector. And it’s not just white-collar workers, either – when I speak to tradesmen, they think they would have better prospects in countries such as Australia and Canada. This is no longer an issue of investor flight, but a full-on brain drain. In the 1970s, a high-tax and anti-business environment led to Britain experiencing a net loss of 500,000 people. Half a century later, history could repeat itself. When I speak at unis, I am struck by how many are contemplating opportunities abroad. And who can blame them? Young graduates today pay more than ever to live in tiny bedrooms in shared flats. The prospect of homeownership – or starting a family – has never been more distant. Unlike previously, the alternatives to the UK are increasingly appealing. Their money can go further elsewhere, and they can live in more prosperous countries with a better quality of life. In 2007, the average Brit was richer than the average American, Australian, Canadian and German, to name just a few. Now, they have all overtaken us. I don’t just fear for the economic consequences. A brain drain would accelerate the dizzying pace of change. Brits who have grown up here and are imbued with our history, heritage, culture, customs and traditions can’t simply be swapped like-for-like. Nations, like all good things, take an age to create but are easily destroyed. I understand why people consider leaving the UK, although I could never, ever imagine it myself. I too despair sometimes, but I care too much to just shrug my shoulders and resign myself to defeat. We have a fight on our hands to turn this country around. But safe streets, cohesive communities, cheap energy, functioning public services, higher wages and better living standards are never unobtainable.

@RobertJenrick Bit rich coming from a man whose party tried to criminalise nearly all forms of protest.

17 years after Parliament abolished blasphemy against Christianity, the courts have brought it back for Islam. Sir Keir Starmer once defended a woman who trampled on the American flag.

Yet, today, faced with a man fined for burning a Koran, he melts into apparent silence. So it’s free speech for flag-burners, but criminal records for Koran-burners? The double standard could not be starker: this is two-tier justice, made to measure for Two-Tier Keir’s Britain. Hamit Coskun’s fate is grotesque. He was allegedly stabbed in broad daylight by an enraged zealot for burning a religious book and hauled before a judge while his alleged assailant will not face trial until 2027. The Kurdish-Armenian atheist, protesting President Erdogan, was knifed, kicked, and spat on outside Turkey’s London consulate, yet it is only he who now carries a criminal record. Had Coskun torched a Bible outside Apostolic Nunciature (the Vatican’s Embassy) while shouting abuse about Christianity, does anyone seriously believe the CPS would have rushed to press charges? Would the police even have turned up? Their own hate-crime guidance celebrates satire, mockery and irreverence – unless, it seems, the target is Islam. Parliament did not legislate for such religious privilege; officials have conjured it out of thin air. 

It could have been even worse. My campaign alongside the Free Speech Union forced the CPS to dump its farcical charge that Coskun had harassed “the religious institution of Islam”. Even so, their revised charge still criminalises the robust denunciation of ideas. This is the rebirth of a blasphemy law, smuggled in through the back door.

The charge against Coskun, Section 5 of the Public Order Act, was meant to tackle threatening or abusive behaviour directed at real people present in real time. In 2013, Parliament tightened the law so that ordinary insult would no longer suffice. The CPS has now expanded that provision into a blasphemy clause. If book-burning during a political protest is re-defined as “disorder”, then any vigorous criticism of Islam – or indeed any religion – is at risk. The judgment sets a chilling precedent: the more “offended” a crowd claims to be, the more likely the state might be to punish the speaker.
 Coskun’s appeal against the conviction must, as @KemiBadenoch has said, be successful. To see where this is heading, look no further than Batley Primary School teacher still in hiding – his life shattered – for sharing a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. Parliament must strike back so that the authorities and our courts have no doubt of Parliament’s protection of free speech.  My colleague, @NJ_Timothy, has produced a Bill that will bar prosecutors and judges from reviving blasphemy in any guise. I will support it unequivocally, and I challenge the Government benches to support it. Ministers who claim to cherish free speech must prove it. Let the Bill progress, or admit they are willing to trade our liberties for the transient comfort of avoiding offence.

The Commercial team @DHSCgovuk are undertaking an assessment of the cost of providing NHS care, using methods they have used in other sectors. So that the data is robust as possible a good spread & number of participating practices would strengthen results 👇

@campbellclaret @Nigel_Farage The Tories presided over stagnant wages, crippled the nhs, hiked tuition fees, gutted councils and Labour, who campaigned for change, offer virtually nothing different. So you can talk about broken promises (Starmer!), but nobody gives a shit.

Got round to reading @Nigel_Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans and unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as a third world country. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

@scott_redfearn Do you see any value in any markets right now? Roma at 10/3 for top 4 doesn't seem bad, for example.

@scott_redfearn It’d certainly come with a bit more pressure and a bit less fun 😬

@Gary_Lowery Thank you! Yeah… there’s a few DM’s saying the same… I just need to make sure it’s right for all parties… I’ve never needed to track P&L (that’s boring to me) Spreadsheets etc Payments/Tax etc Just need to make sure it would work…

Been asked a bit about pre season/next year… Private groups/subs etc have been mentioned. I’m thinking about this over the weekend. I’ll be doing free content - with @OddsNow__ and probably @BunchOfPunts2 But, I know there’s a small hardcore group that want the accas….

@scott_redfearn I’d be happy to pay for group access, as I’m sure plenty of others would too 👍

Going through retained lists, signings, manager updates, ownership updates takes time - I enjoy it - and I’ll enjoy the pods/writing that you’ll see this summer. That’s the main thing. There might just be a group (Might!) for the more eager punters - capped numbers!

@scott_redfearn @gazza_burns Am I right in saying these haven't been offering a cash out as there's been no La Liga top scorer market for a while on bet365?

@gazza_burns Think a couple of picks will cost it… LO just need a win this weekend… so could be all over by Saturday. Southend need the draw/win. Lewa - has this injury. Raph - needs a couple of goals. Benfica - realistically need to beat Sporting. Hopefully it gets to Sunday though.

Imagine backing that 11 fold… Then backing it again… (cash out option) Then throwing Brackley in… Then throwing Truro in… Then throwing them both in! 5 bets in total… 42k in total… (Not mine!)

@stefeich @surplusmagazin @maxinefowe As a political-economist working in dentistry this looks incredibly interesting. It's not available in English by any chance is it?
