I Want My Country Back

@owenjonesjourno So mocking clothing is hatred but chanting Death to the IDF is fine.

No condemnation from our politicians. No outrage from the media. No action by the police. British Muslims are sent a clear message: You are fair game for hatred.

@darrenpjones Will you wait for vetting to be passed before they start…

I’m looking for a new personal assistant. Based in the House of Commons, you’ll help me with my diary, including supporting my evening meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays. This role sits at the centre of my parliamentary, constituency, government and special advisor teams helping me to be as effective as possible. Deadline: 29th May. More details 👇 w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.asp…

@DavidLammy Two tier justice secretary has spoken !

The Unite the Kingdom march organisers are spreading hatred and division. They do not reflect the Britain I’m proud of. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right and one I will always protect. But if protest turns violent, we will act swiftly, with extra court capacity in place.

@AndyBurnhamGM So your resume will soon read, ex MP, ex Mayor, failed electoral candidate.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@SangitaMyska The commissioner is a hardcore Remainer who has written articles about Brexit. I’m sure that won’t affect any decision, of course.

Perhaps the beginning of the end? Nigel Farage is facing a formal investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog over a £5m gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.

@docrussjackson If the cap fits..

Convicted criminal Lucy Connolly has now explicitly not only said Starmer is "the definition of evil", she's also called him "a child rapist and pedophile enabler." Stupidity, poor grammar, or low-IQ does not make this acceptable. Not a Starmer fan, but he should sue her.

@MichaelRosenYes You know you have to produce ID to get on the ballot, right?

@owenjonesjourno Direct from the Hamas propaganda machine

I reported on the testimonies of Palestinians raped by dogs last month. Pro-Israel cheerleaders responded by claiming this was an outrageous lie - and that it was antisemitic. The New York Times has now published the testimony of a Palestinian detainee.

@JeremyVineOn5 When Dale Vince sends £5m to Labour it’s ok?

Nigel Farage's £5 million row - does it matter to you? The Reform UK leader is facing questions after it emerged he accepted £5 million from a wealthy businessman before standing as an MP. Should he have declared it?

@Keir_Starmer How about they turn up in a dinghy at Dover?

We will block far right agitators from traveling to Britain this weekend for a march designed to confront and provoke our diverse capital city. We will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.

@CamillaTominey Check out his narrow boat council tax avoidance too..

🤦‍♀️ Exclusive: Zack Polanski falsely claimed to have worked at the Ministry of Justice telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@Femi_sorry Careful, people might start investigating your finances.

Nigel Farage is telling us that being given £5 million isn't a big deal. Ask yourself... Would getting £5 million be a big deal for YOU? But he's just like us, right?

@fleetstreetfox @SamCoatesSky A donation from one private citizen to another is now reportable?

As @SamCoatesSky was telling me last night, if the standards commissioner investigates and finds it should have been delayed, there’s the risk of a recall petition and a by-election in Clacton. He’s very, very worried and defensive.

@MikeTappTweets How’s that £2500 letter folding machine you made the taxpayer buy you?

Nigel Farage should not survive the undeclared £5Million donation. It’s a step up from a new pair of glasses, don’t you think? Is Farage owned?

@danwootton @RupertLowe10 Lowe could be become the most hated man in Britain if he lets the Green/Labour coalition in.

After a historic clean sweep in Great Yarmouth, Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe is saying NO DEAL to Nigel Farage and Reform UK. In first post-election interview, he tells me: "Watch my lips: I don't work with people who try to send me to prison for nothing." @RupertLowe10

@Jamesjonesik8 They better not go to Dubai, some great pubs there.

Muslims walking around the UK moaning about pubs. Nobody asked you to come to the developed world. And pubs have existed long before Mohammed started abusing children and killing dogs. If you don't like our world, go back to the desert.

If you voted Reform....my friendship with you ends.

@ZeroBarkThirty2 Nonsense, there are hundreds of SAM flights every year.

🚨 HOLY SHIT, THE SHEKELS GETTING LOUD 🚨 Pete Hegseth’s plane lands at Fort Huachuca under a VIP Air Support callsign… Right around the same time, Erika Kirk was there. Meanwhile, the microexplosives plant connected to that same area mysteriously blows up. Coincidence? Or are we watching pieces of a very dark puzzle fall into place? Charlie Kirk. Erika Kirk. Hegseth. Huachuca. Microexplosives. 😵You tell me. L@@K This shit is getting way too connected to ignore. #PeteHegseth #FortHuachuca #ErikaKirk #CharlieKirk #DeepState #Conspiracy

@SophieP25397 Do you think that councillors sit in the council offices answering the phone to people reporting potholes? 😁😁😁

If you live in areas that have elected a Reform council, this is where you all come in. Report every pothole, broken pavement, keep them on their toes and make their lives intolerable.

@mehdirhasan This labour council called for the opposition to have their throats cut.

Man who branded Muslims 'scum' wins Bradford Council seat | Bradford Telegraph and Argus Ask yourself why you heard about so many bigoted Green candidates but not bigoted Reform candidates like this. thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/26092008.…
