@EliAfriatISR @NYCMayor The condoms could be considered for humanitarian purposes though.

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

@wizzardhorse @BritIndianVoice @CManson167656 Maybe the issue is because they are not accepted as fully British by the British.
English
@BritIndianVoice @CManson167656 Therein lies the issue. After three generations you still class yourselves as British Indians, instead of British.

My grandfather came to Britain in 1965.
He didn’t speak much English.
He worked night shifts in a factory in Birmingham.
He paid his taxes.
Kept his head down.
Never complained.
His son became a doctor.
His granddaughter is a tech engineer.
His great-grandchildren were born British.
Three generations. Zero crime. Zero benefits fraud. Zero debt to this country.
And still, STILL someone tells us to go home.
Where exactly is home supposed to be?

@BritIndianVoice @CManson167656 Indian cricket is the best in the world. Totally understand your dilemma, but at least you can support both.
English
We get asked this a lot!
As a British Indians, we feel lucky to get two world-class teams to root for. We support England in the Ashes because this is our home, but when they play India, we lean toward our roots.
It’s like having two kids; you don't pick a favorite, you just enjoy the game.
who are you backing when India plays Pakistan this June? 🏏

@castleton_emma @Kevin_Maguire Glasses and an Arsenal ticket. Is that all? You keep telling yourself those lies.
English
@Kevin_Maguire No but keir starmer accepted a pair of glasses and an arsenal ticket. Surely more scandalous? Honestly the bias is beyond parody and very scary

Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era.
Farage, for himself not the many.

The UK's threat level has increased to “severe”. This follows a rising Islamist and Extreme Right Wing terrorist threat, and yesterday's abhorrent antisemitic terrorist attack.
People should be vigilant as they go about their daily lives, and report any concerns to the police.
Our world-leading police and security services continue to work, day and night, to keep our country safe.

@Debss2500 @TucHuddersfield How does an MP make that kind of money?
English
@TucHuddersfield Hilarious, all parties are full of millionaires.Wes Streeting alone has made about £5m since being in office, I'm sure The Green Party are no different!

@PaulGurr1 @KemiBadenoch That is my formal title in fact.

More questions for @KemiBadenoch today as it is revealed a senior Tory MP is undertaking legal work in the interests of two sanctioned Russian oligarchs, just like her Shadow Attorney General and Roman Abramovich.
What is the Tory position?

@antoniabance That's how democracy works. Let people vote how they want, if you aren't good enough, that's on you.
English
My friend Alex has it absolutely right: in Coseley, a vote for anyone other than Labour opens the door to Reform chaos
Alex Ballinger MP@AlexBallingerMP
Latest polls (YouGov 27 March - 27 April) show that in Dudley, it's between Labour and Reform in the local elections. To prevent a Reform council fuelled by chaos, instability and division, vote Labour on 7 May. A vote for the Greens or the Lib Dems will only help Reform.
English
@ceritheviking Much better to have some paedo friends that the PM wants to reward for 'something'. Hundreds of years of experience and knowledge gone to be replaced by friends of the paedo party. How very modern.
English
@alysdenby @CityAM Tactical voting gets you somebody you didn't want instead of somebody else you didn't want. Vote and campaign for something you do want.
English
I’m about to do something against which all my instincts all my instincts recoil - something so shameful I can’t believe I’m admitting it in a newspaper.
I’m going to vote Labour.
Find out why in today’s @CityAM

@ADZanderWest @danielmgmoylan You prefer the Mandelson and the Doyle’s. The friends of paedos are your preference?
English
@danielmgmoylan Whats sad about it? The fact that he has been overseeing our laws for 38 years by birthright, having done nothing to earn his place? Or that taxpayers were paying for his inherited job, that he did nothing to earn for the past 38 years? Forgive us as we fail to weep for him.
English
Saddest sight today: an hereditary peer (38 years continuous service) in the Long Room, saying goodbye to the catering staff (some there even longer) and they all hugged each other.

@AngelaEuropean @Imogenlemon02 @Lanemichelle67E well the polls seem to suggest otherwise, its Good that you care though.

@PumpkinOne97847 @Imogenlemon02 @Lanemichelle67E No.
I just felt like commenting on her pathetic stance.
She's doing herself no favours.
English
English
@Imogenlemon02 @Lanemichelle67E She's been like that for ages.
Like a 6th form bully, trying to rally troops to get behind her.
She has no substance, no integrity, no leadership, no class.
English
@Imogenlemon02 Thanks for that, was there much of a queue to be a Labour shill?
English
@RichardBurgon Absolutely, let the government take it instead and use it to buy more votes.

Some corporate giants will make a fortune from Trump’s war while ordinary people get hit again.
They should not be allowed to make a single penny in super-profits from this crisis.
Let's expand the Windfall Tax to any firm doing so - and use the money to cut household bills.

@barry_halverson @NearlyThere19 I well remember the furor when Starmer accepted a pair of spectacles- that nonsense rumbled on for weeks. Then when that died down, his wife accepted a dress. Cue ongoing faux outrage and clutching of pearls..... but Faux-Rage getting 5 million- no scrutiny whatsoever.
English
Imagine the outcry if Starmer personally accepted a 5 million donation, not for the party, but for him personally, just before he was elected Labour leader. Chris Mason would have a team on it 24x7
Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@JamesUK101 @jfoster2019 @KemiBadenoch @UKHouseofLords @UKLabour You seem to be confused about the purpose of the House of Lords. And why do you prefer selected peers (Read Starmers friends of paedos) over hereditary? What's the difference apart from one lot is there as a reward for some dodgy past deal.
English
@jfoster2019 @KemiBadenoch @UKHouseofLords @UKLabour Why should someone get to vote on our laws just because they're born into a particular family? We're not 16th century peasants anymore.
English
In the midst of all the news today, and with Parliament prorogued, many people may not have noticed that this was the final time the hereditary peers sat in Parliament before being forced out by Labour.
I want to pay an extra special tribute to them.
Combined they had 1784 years of parliamentary experience, wisdom and service to this country. That is not something easily replaced, and it should not be casually discarded.
Most were Conservatives. All were public servants.
They have brought to public life judgment shaped over decades, deep expertise, institutional memory, and a sense of duty that has strengthened Parliament and, very often, improved legislation in ways the public will never fully see.
Their record speaks for itself. They have served in war and peace, in government and opposition, in defence, diplomacy, farming, business, science and public service. They have not merely occupied seats in the Lords, they have contributed to the life of the nation.
That is why what has happened matters. Hereditary peers are a living part of Britain’s constitutional inheritance that Labour is casually tearing up.
Labour has rubbed away another part of our heritage, not to strengthen Parliament but to replace it with political appointees, four of whom it has already had to suspend the whip from because they were so inappropriate. That contrast says rather a lot.
At a time when public trust in politics is fragile, I think it is worth saying plainly that experience, seriousness and tradition still matter. Service still matters. Duty still matters.
So today, as an era closes, I want to put on record my profound gratitude and admiration for our hereditary peers. Britain has been better governed because of them. The Conservative Party has been stronger because of them. And Parliament will be poorer without them.
Their contribution will long outlast the petty politics that has brought this moment about.

@jfoster2019 @KemiBadenoch @UKHouseofLords @UKLabour I fear that it is the worst of Labour...so far.
English
@KemiBadenoch Well said Kemi..
It’s been an honour serving alongside so many excellent since my appointment here @UKHouseofLords
for the last five years !
So many will be sorely missed..❤️
This is the worst of @UKLabour .. still fighting the 70’s class war !
