@piersmorgan Keep politics out of football, bending knees, territory disputes and comments about who won what war. There are btw no winners in armed conflict

Classless pr*cks.
I hope Spain beat them as badly in the Final as we beat them in the Falklands War.

@AllisonPearson Free speech aside people who comment in any public forum should be aware that there is a line that hateful comments cross?
English
I have mixed feelings about this.
A horrible university academic Heather Herbert posted that he hoped Ann Widdecombe died a slow and painful death.
Undeniably hateful but Ann was a warrior for free speech. She’d survived a lot of insults which she took as part and parcel of living in society.
My guess is Ann would have harrumphed, “Appalling”
and not wanted any further action.

Heather Herbert has been charged over vile Ann Widdecombe posts ⚖️

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer receives a standing ovation from Labour and Lib Dem MPs as he concludes his ever final answer at PMQs "To all across the country who struggle to be seen or heard, you're the reason I came into politics. To my wife and children, I love you. Goodbye"
English
Zia Yusuf's policy announcement that all 650 MPs, plus a significant number of former MPs, would receive round the clock taxpayer protection under Reform government is both impractical and vastly costly. And will mean taking money away from the protection of the wider public.
English
Ed Davey pays his respects to Ann Widdecombe in PMQ's then takes the p1ss out of Nigel Farage.
He obviously didn't get the memo that Ann was a Reform UK politician and there is no moment in this weeks PMQ's where ripping into Farage is appropriate.

Keir Starmer has led us through some of the most challenging times with determination, integrity, and compassion, always putting the UK first.
Sir Keir, thank you for your leadership, and thank you for your service to our great country #PMQs

CALIFATO ISLAMICO DEL REINO UNIDO.
En Inglaterra la policia prohíbe a la gente pasear a sus perros en lugares de marchas musulmanes o donde hay población islamica porque es una ofensa a su religión.
Europa esta siendo regalada, remplazada y sometida por sus propios gobiernos

Nigel didn't just go and lay flowers though, did he, Zia? He went to a spot miles from Ann's house. He informed the press. He stood in his pose, nodded to check the press were ready... then he laid flowers. Those are not the actions of an authentic human being grieving a friend.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK
A man gets into a car with a stick, drives hundreds of miles to brutally murder the beloved elderly matriarch of Reform UK. The authorities offer no information, but if you ask questions they admonish you for “speculating”. Reform MPs demanding security from the state are told to shut up and be grateful that “the police know where their house is” and the “direct telephone number to the police” to call if someone tries to murder them. Reveal that the Speaker of the House has totally ignored letters from Reform MPs about their safety and he briefs the press that he’s “furious”, while failing to deny this. If you go to lay flowers in memory of your friend you are “politicising” her murder. If you push back against any of this, you are hounded to the ends of the earth by the Times, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Mirror, and hundreds of crazed leftists online. These, apparently, are the new rules for Nigel, for Reform MPs and all those in our movement. None of it will deter us. We will fight on. For Ann. For our country. 🇬🇧

@GoodwinMJ People will believe what they want to.. let them! Best to ignore the noise
English
Imagine if somebody had said Labour MPs were using the murder of Jo Cox for "propaganda".
Then why say it about Nigel Farage? Nigel knew Ann. He respected Ann. And they were incredibly good friends.
The treatment of Farage is nothing short of disgraceful.
English
@GoodwinMJ @ramonagusta How many Labour MP's who laid flowers, practiced their walk and sad face, before they laid the flowers?
English
I did warn this would happen yesterday. Everything Reform is currently doing and saying is about deflecting from legitimate scrutiny of Nigel Farage.
English
Last time, speculation caused rioting in Southport and across the country. It’s utterly irresponsible, and it has real world consequences.
But you don’t care about the real world impact of your words. You want to whip people up into a frenzy so you can continue to score cheap political points.
This is thuggish politics and it’s reprehensible.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK
“Don’t speculate!” means “shut up and accept the establishment narrative!”.

.@Nigel_Farage thinks he requires more protection than the actual leader of His Majesties Opposition @KemiBadenoch a woman that is very likely abused and threatened a lot of the time. He has half a dozen MPs in Parliament. Half of them are failed Tory MPs. What on earth is he giving it? We are all subject to abuse and threats (most abuse is directed at women MPs) so I get it but @EdwardJDavey leads a Parliamentary party of 72 MPs. @LibDems have fully committed to rejoining the EU (the Greens as well) which is likely still the most controversial issue amongst some (a lot) of the electorate yet we don’t hear Ed dictating what state provided security he requires or does not require. Farage thinks he’s already the PM. What are we to do offer close protection to any MP that feels they are a particular target? Any number of MPs could waltz into the chamber, utter something particularly controversial and then demand the full package of security as a result of it. The security services have a good idea of what security individual MPs require and they get it. Many backbenches receive higher numbers of threats than others and accordingly have more security as a result.

Exclusive: Nigel Farage turned down taxpayer-funded security including a bodyguard, car and trained driver last year, The i Paper has learned. The Reform UK leader was offered the protection following police advice on the threats he faced. He had already been receiving publicly-funded security prior to this, and felt that his package had been downgraded. It would have given Farage a similar level of security to Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and some high-profile Cabinet ministers. Farage declined the offer because he considered the protection to be inadequate. A Reform spokesman suggested Farage needed stronger protection than the leader of the opposition, telling The i Paper he is “the most targeted politician in Britain and the only party leader who actually goes out to meet the public in huge numbers on the campaign trail”. The spokesman also denied that Farage rejected protection, adding: “He declined a downgraded and inadequate package.” By @singharj w/ myself and @kitty_donaldson

Let's all be honest here. Farage/Reform, with all their noise, inconsistencies, doubts on integrity, and visceral dislike from others, won't form a working majority. Kemi and the new Conservatives have the conviction, vision, and authenticity to reach that threshold. Join us!
