@owenjonesjourno East Brighton isn't central Brighton. It'll go Lib Dem or even Tory before it goes Green.

You’re going to lose your seat to the Greens, buddy!
And I’ve never met anyone who hates the Green Party as much as you do.
It is going to hurt!
Chris Ward MP@chriswardmp
Our job is to govern, so let’s get on with it. It took 14 years and 4 painful election defeats for Labour to get this opportunity - let’s not waste it now on a divisive and destabilising leadership contest

@owenjonesjourno I thought he was a feckless, unprincipled, careerist neoliberal shill but now I know he trolled you in person he's starting to grow on me.

When he was an MP, Chuka Umunna once asked for me to come meet him in Parliament for chat.
We sat down and then he asked: “So, why are we meeting?”
So bizarre 😂😂😂

@sahouraxo If you're a thinking person read this, consider the following. None of what the poster is saying in the text of this post is corroborated by the video. It's literally just a burnt out car. The rest is completely unattested in independent journalism, and candidly just made up.

A cause for national shame.
This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe.
Until 2015, the UK was top.
We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe.
We're now near Albania.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

@jeremycorbyn You invited Hamas and Hezbollah to our parliament. You should be in prison.

@IR_Media24 Literally no-one takes Bilzerian seriously. In fact, most people understand that whatever he says, you can be pretty sure the opposite is true or a good idea.

🇺🇸ALEX JONES: “If you were the president, what would you do?”
🇺🇸DAN BILZERIAN: “I would declare war on Israel. I mean, at a minimum, I would cut off all foreign aid. I would let Iran have free will to do what they want with Israel”

@owenjonesjourno I don't even like the guy as a politician but I'd at least have the respect to refer to him as a former colonel in the special forces, who served in every major conflict for 25 years.
"Used to be a marine" is disparaging from someone who probably couldn't lift his backpack.
English
This MP you've never heard of is plotting to become Labour leader.
That's because he used to be a Marine.
Labour MPs are desperate and think that'll make voters like him.
There's nothing of any substance in this transparent leadership pitch.
No ideas, no vision, nothing.

Al Carns: How Labour can win again What is the point of Labour if it does not represent Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley, Swansea and Aberdeen? What is the point of the Labour Party if it cannot replace despair and frustration with hope, stability and purpose? The party was founded to give ordinary working people security, dignity and bargaining power over their lives. That is exactly what I believe, and it must be our mission again. We do not need more slogans, strategies, press releases or commissions. We need action. People in this country do not expect perfection. But they do expect seriousness. They expect stability and fairness. And they expect a government that is on their side. That is what Labour must be again. It is how Labour defeats Nigel Farage. And it is how Britain recovers. @AlistairCarns newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

@DaveKent101 If they get halal accredited while still allowing guide dogs then the whole concept is a farce (not that we didn't already know that). A dog is a dog.

سوال: آیا مخالفت سر سخت امانوئل مکرون با حمله امریکا به جمهوری اسلامی ناشی از تاثیر گلشیفته بر روی امانوئل بوده یا نشانه ای تلاشهای امانوئل برای رضایتمندی گلشیفته بوده یا هر دو؟! یقین دارم بعد از سقوط جمهوری اسلامی داستانهای جالبی درباره روابط سیاستمداران اسپانیایی و انگلیسی هم با جمهوری اسلامی و شخصیت های جمهوری اسلامی فاش خواهد شد.

فلوریان تردیف، خبرنگار روزنامه پاریمچ و نویسنده کتاب «یک زوج "تقریبا"کامل» درباره زندگی خصوصی امانوئل و بریژیت مکرون، روز چهارشنبه ۲۳ اردیبهشت و در مصاحبه با رادیو (ارتال) فرانسه و در پاسخ به مجری درباره دعوای معروف مکرون و بریژیت هنگام سفر به شرق آسیا در سال گذشته گفت: «بریژیت یکی از پیامهای گلشیفته فراهانی را در تلفن امانوئل دیده بود.» تردیف در برابر دیدگان متعجب خبرنگاری که از او پرسید: «جدی اسمش را هم میگویید؟» پاسخ داد: «همانموقع هم شایعاتی در پاریس پیچیده بود. آقای رئیس جمهوری چند ماهی «رابطهای افلاطونی» با گلشیفته فراهانی، هنرپیشه ۴۲ ساله ایرانی داشت. بعضی اوقات پیامهایی که میان این دو رد و بدل میشد،[از حد معمول] فراتر میرفت.» کاخ الیزه و شخص برژیت مکرون هنوز واکنشی به این خبر نشان ندادهاند.

@MittensOff So you'll get nothing done, then.
All across the country. Completely polarised councils.
Your infantile "ha ha no-one likes you" shtick in reality means an endless bureaucratic quagmire and ideological shitshow that stops anything meaningful being decided.
Have fun.

@The_TUC How is putting a flag up inside the country where it is, intimidating?
If minorities appreciate Britain or are British, then they should be happy to see it. Entirely unbothered by it.
If not, then why not? It's a not-very-subtle Freudian slip, and an indictment on them, not us.

@PeterTatchell You'll be stabbed in the back by your Islamist friends if more intelligent people don't prevent your idiocy.
Anyway, stop being so colonial, trying to impose western cultural standards on the global south. Bigot.

Namibia govt refuses to enact court orders to decriminalise homosexuality & recognise same-sex marriage
It also refuses to enact anti-discrimination laws to protect LGBTs

@kennardmatt Intelligence is just that. What Israel does or does not do with it is up to them. If anything, Israel could claim necessity on brutal war tactics more without this. If you want war decisions scrutinised, this sort of intelligence prevents claims of ignorance.
English
Keir Starmer sent this spy plane over Gaza to collect intelligence for the Israeli military as it was committing genocide
He made Britain a participant in the crime of crimes
He must go directly from No 10 to The Hague. Along with David Lammy and John Healey

‘Not a takeover.’
"Not an act of domination"
And "if seeing black and brown people on TV makes you sick, this is going to make you vomit"
BRAVO @NazShahBfd hits back at far-right rhetoric with humour and class bringing together the Labour Party and the house down with laughter.

@premnsikka Dividends *should* be taxed at lower marginal rates than wages. Much lower. Thanks to Reeves they're now taxed at historically high rates. And we have multiple levels of tax on revenue before dividends come into play.
I have a SME. I have to deal with this. Don't gaslight me.
English
88% of UK millionaires proud to live in Britain.
75% willing to pay more tax to fund public assets.
Yet right-wing constantly peddles project fear ... They would leave, etc.
Capital gains, dividends are taxed at lower marginal rates than wages.

@premnsikka Plenty of millionaires don't mind paying more tax personally.
It's business rates, red tape, dismal public safety, high energy costs, an energy policy directed towards insecurity, EDI mandates, market intervention, and price controls that will cripple business.
