@PuzzlerSharpe @HoraceSpellman9 "...a newcomer who is no lover of cricket" is surely the ultimate judicial burn.

@owenjonesjourno What’s a “British Palestinian”? Is it like “Zionist Jew”?
English
Lots of TV and radio shows discussing the Palestine protests.
None of them feature British Palestinian guests.
It's just unbelievably racist - treating their experiences as completely meaningless and irrelevant.
English
@I_amMukhtar You’re right, of course. But the answer ought to be deportation regardless of the verdict.

@Falcon_Malteser I mean, the HMT, Cabinet Office and Downing cafes are run as private concessions, as they should be. I don’t know that anyone disputes this.
English
Had to listen to a Reform/conspiracy theorist bang on and found myself defending Mandami's state run supermarkets eh why not, no idea if this is even a real thing 😂
Can the state run a cafe? NO
Can the state run a swimming baths OK YES
What about a cafe in a sw baths HMMM

@DrChrisParry @Conservatives Great man. Best minister I worked for by far. In another league.
English
If he had been the 'former Brexit Secretary', we would have got a proper Brexit, not the shameful surrender by the rest of the @Conservatives Remainers.

🚨'We will become a SATELLITE STATE' Former Brexit Secretary says trade has grown since Britain left the EU and that Starmer getting Britain to rejoin the EU is a big mistake. @SteveBakerFRSA | @jkyleofficial

@VintageMrHobbes So cheap they only defaced a one dollar bill for the stunt. Bet the dress cost 20k of them.

@BellaWallerstei This isn’t a matter of integration. These people will quite obviously never integrate and their children will be even more radical.
English
Policy Exchange survey of Muslim voters in local election battlegrounds finds a quarter view Hamas favourably, more back Iran’s IRGC than oppose it and one in seven express support for Islamic State or al-Qaeda. Chilling - we have serious problems with integration
English
@yuanyi_z Yes. Always terrible over-restricted by courtesy and an example of sex discrimination.
English
Extension of the courtesy prefix Lord to sons of earls, so that they are no longer at a disadvantage in relation to their female siblings.
S. I. Rubinstein@si_rubinstein
On the contrary: lots of people should get to call themselves a Lord. And perhaps this ought to be heritable, as many things are. But this has nothing to do with who gets to sit in parliament.

@ottaproperty @m_azzd Fine. Then save up and qualify for your own.
English
@m_azzd What if I told you you're already paying a mortgage? Just somebody else's.
English
Did you know that a rental property actually evaporates into thin air the very instant a landlord no longer owns it?
Bullard@spennybig
I own an estate agency in hertfordshire, about 14 percent of our landlords have or are selling due to the negative tax and legislative environment. Assuming thats replicated nationally there will be 1.7million less properties for renters in a year, with no plan on replacement

Baroness Blake, who was so incredibly offensive here - shutting down, and scrolling on her phone during, that moving valedictory - is well aware of how hereditary Labour politics works. Her daughter is Red Princess Olivia Blake, her Party’s MP for Sheffield Hallam.
Ned Donovan@Ned_Donovan
I think it's remarkable that Baroness Blake, a retired mid-ranking regional bureaucrat appointed to the House of Lords for life, had the arrogance to try and shut down someone who was simply saying goodbye to a place that his family has served for three generations.

@K_Niemietz Certainly not joining the union - because having a union for bricklayers was just too difficult for the lanyard people.
English
He wouldn't be allowed to do this nowadays.
George Mack@george__mack
Winston Churchill used to lay 200 bricks per day to keep his mind busy when feeling down. Depression hates a moving target.
English
A competent teacher of Citizenship would inform their pupils that this is a common misconception, and point them to Lord Justice Sedley's judgment: “Free speech includes not only the offensive, but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative, providing it does not tend to provoke violence” (Redmond-Bate v DPP, 1999).

@jfwduffield There’s one black woman in my parents’ village and they noted to me this week that they think a Jewish family will move in to escape the fear of north London. It’s another world.
English
Of course they do. Have you never been to Hampstead, Dulwich, Richmond-upon-Thames, St Albans, Guildford etc.

A 2023 study found that white progressives in the US and UK avoid living in racially diverse neighborhoods and are more likely to move away from them than white conservatives. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ss…
