@karenfthompson Please don't worry, Starmer and Reeves both made it perfectly clear a week or so ago that petrol retailers will not be allowed to exploit the war in Iran. Admittedly, since then the retailers have done nothing but profit, but at least we know our Government can talk tough.

So as my mother Used to say “ pull your finger out Kier “ and do something about this .. It’s not April Fools’ Day till next week.. And I’m running out of laughter… @BBCLookEast @GMB

@glaisian What a stupid, ignorant comment. They have helped many people, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or ability to pay.

If I had an accident would one of those ‘charity’ vehicles have taken me to A&E? The fact that Jewish ambulances exist looks like non-integration to me. #politicslive

@LetsTalkGers Absolutely no chance of this happening. The very best we can hope for is another loan for next season, but given Spurs will have a new manager by then (and could be in the Championship), it's a long shot.

👀 If it was possible, would you be happy for Rangers to break their transfer record to sign Mikey Moore permanently?

Long way to go in the race for the title, but if the last few months have taught us anything, it's to give players' time to settle into the club. Mikey Moore, Fernandez, Chermiti and Djiga are prime examples. All slated early on, now first-choices. Patience is a virtue 🔴⚪️🔵

@wesstreeting Antisemitism has been rife at marches up and down the country, yet your Government has done nothing to stop it, indeed, some MPs from your party have openly supported it. Absolute halfwit.

This is a sickening attack on Jewish ambulances. Thank goodness there appear to be no injuries. Anyone with information should come forward to the Police. We must stand together against antisemitic hatred.

@Keir_Starmer @susannareid100 Groups of people are regularly gathering in large crowds to chant antisemitic slogans, yet nothing is being done to stop it. It clearly does have a place in our society under your leadership.

This is a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.  My thoughts are with the Jewish community who are waking up this morning to this horrific news.  Antisemitism has no place in our society.  Anyone with any information must come forward to the police.

@TheIbroxChannel The fact that the referee had his back to the ball when the incident occurred, tells you everything about his competence levels.

The ‘handball’ in the build up to the Miovski goal. Now, I can understand ruling out some things in the build up, however it’s an unintentional handball, yes that gives us possession. However there’s at least 2 different Aberdeen players who touch the ball (yes, they don’t fully take possession) as play comes forward. Now, I’m fine with this being ruled out if they all are, (not a big fan of completely over scrutinising small things that happen an age ago, as that’s re-refereeing the game, however that’s another debate) but how many have we conceded with worse handballs? We’ve been told ‘ah but it’s not the goal scorer who’s handballed it’ with the Motherwell goal. Shankland’s handball at Ibrox plays it in front of him and even says to the players around him that it’s going to be chopped off and he even is suprised when it’s given. Why have they stood and this hasn’t is my question? There really isn’t any consistency with this stuff. Why? Footage from @PremSportsTV

@afneil A credible academic paper in 2025 estimated that Brexit reduced the level of UK GDP by around 6–8%. Not an absolute fall in GDP, but a cumulative, gradual shortfall in economic growth compared to what it would have been if the UK had remained in the EU.

So if Reeves’s claim that Brexit cost us 8% of GDP is correct it would mean we’d have grown four times more than Japan/Germany and almost twice France/Italy. Up there with Canada/US. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. In reality, even with Brexit, we were fastest growing European economy in G7. Just a tad more than France (with no Frexit).

And here's headline GDP on the same basis (similar points apply)... 🤔

@bbcnickrobinson @SilverAlso @ZackPolanski Nick, with the greatest respect, you have to understand that in the eyes of communists/Marxists/socialists, it's genocide if they say it is, regardless of any international courts or the UN. That's just how it works, now.

Simple answer Zack. Our job is to report. We interview you & those you quote who use the word genocide. We do the same for those who disagree. We also report that no international court has yet made a judgment. Nor has the UN. That’s not me or the BBC taking sides or downplaying what’s happened in Gaza. It’s doing our job.

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide. The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide. Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide. How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this? youtu.be/Es_wxH04bgs?si…

Five years ago today, a teacher from Batley Grammar showed a class a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. Within days, a hundred Islamists were protesting outside the school gates. Outrageously, the teacher was suspended. The headteacher, Gary Kibble, apologised ‘unequivocally’. It was an astonishing act of appeasement and cowardice. The teacher was then subjected to a campaign of abuse and intimidation, including incitement to violence against him and his family. His kids had to miss school for months. They slept on mattresses in temporary accommodation. An independent probe later cleared him of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Another report likewise found that the school, council and police all ‘totally and utterly failed’ him. Too late - his life was changed forever. Have lessons been learnt from this shameful episode? I fear exactly the same thing would happen today. In fact ‘advice’ has recently been reissued by Labour councils including the one covering Batley, that children’s drawings in art lessons may be seen as ‘idolatrous’ under sharia law. Teachers are even warned that dance lessons could cause parental concerns over ‘physical contact between males and females’. Extremism is being mainstreamed. A climate of threatening and intimidatory harassment is poisoning our institutions. It's antithetical to our democratic way of life. Most of our governing class are simply too spineless to take on Islamists. Look at when I highlighted the chronic failure of integration in parts of Birmingham. I was denounced. And then proven right by West Midlands Police’s admission that violent Islamists living couldn’t be prevented from attacking Jewish football fans. The Police lied and blamed the visiting supporters in an effort to pretend they still had authority in the city. And now look at the reaction of the Prime Minister and much of the media to criticisms of a segregated Iftar in Trafalgar Square. They branded critics racist too. This was despite the Prime Minister himself pulling out of an Iftar in 2021 organised by the very same man, Omar Salha, who arranged this one, apparently because of his Islamist links. We’ve been led by weak hypocrites, who cover up, rather than confront what’s happening. The country is sliding down a dark path as a result. But innocent men and women like the Batley teacher are the greatest victims of extremism, and too many seem intent to forget them. We must defend them and stand up for all those who speak out.

🟢⚪️ | Unbelievable signing. Still only 32 years old… This “congestion of fixtures” all of a sudden doesn’t matter too much, Celtic’s recruitment this past window has been impressive. If you disagree, you’re wrong.
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano

🚨⚪️🟢 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Celtic, here we go! Verbal agreement in place for the midfielder. He’s in Glasgow today for new chapter on six month deal plus option to extend, as @AnthonyRJoseph reports.
