On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

@bluewmist "I don't know. Let's find out". Adults that let kids see they're not all knowing and that's fine encourages kids to stay curious.

People raised by emotionally mature parents, what's 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know?

Don't often agree with Diane, but she's spot-on here. Falling for this self congratulatory, self-righteous delusion has led Labour Gov into smug superiority and sold a lie to the PLP that their huge majority is an untouchable shield. Not message of electorate in 2024 at all
Diane Abbott@HackneyAbbott

There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer. In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll. We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.

What? He’s been charged with THREE counts of attempted murder. The third alleged victim is Ishmail Hussein. What is the editorial justification for not even stating that it’s three counts of attempted murder!

Weird that even the police, in their tweet, though not in the full statement itself, are just airbrushing the fact that he’s being charged with three attempted murders, not two, the third person being a Muslim man he stabbed earlier in the day
Metropolitan Police@metpoliceuk

A man will appear in court today charged following a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation into two men stabbed in #GoldersGreen: news.met.police.uk/news/man-charg…

@SandyofSuffolk Reform have a history in this parliament of not voting for things they say they support or voting in the wrong lobby.

Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick didn't vote yesterday for one reason. It would have been pointless with Labour's huge majority. They were out and about doing a more useful job - drumming up more support for Reform. Hope that helps with all of you who lack critical thinking skills.

There IS a significant problem with a declining population, but mass immigration will destroy us more quickly. Securfe the borders.start mass deportations and then reverse fifty years of anti-male anti-family discrimination to boost the birth rate - but we have to save the country first from eradication - vote Reform UK on May 7 as the only chance in the local elections. All the other parties are competing to destroy Britain.

Okay then, I’m Welsh. It’s just a cultural expression and Welsh people aren’t real. Nobody has a particular claim to the land, it’s just open for those who fancy being Welsh. So I’m Welsh.

The problem is stories like this do matter to the public beyond the bubble. It’s raised in most focus groups - not because it’s more important than the cost of living or the NHS, but because it reinforces the sense of one rule for them and that PM doesn’t have a grip/bad judgment
Matthew Syed@matthewsyed

The bandwidth sucked up by the Mandelson non-story is embarrassing. A minor appointment taken in what was perceived to be the national interest. Astonishing that the Westminster bubble is still obsessed but then tittle tattle started to define British politics a long time ago

@TheHughAnthony Go to a county like Pembrokeshire in Wales and get the white people you speak to there to trace their family tree back. Not too many of them are going to actually be Welsh. Most of them will be English. Speaking from my own familial experience.

Why is everyone shocked when someone says a black person cannot be Welsh. To be Welsh, you have to be ethnically Welsh, and Welsh people, by nature, are White. That is not radical, that is biology.

Adrian Ramsay MP@AdrianRamsay·
This is true if you are content with a system where MPs don't engage with what they are voting on and just get pointed towards a voting lobby by a party whip. It's crucial to democracy that MPs engage with the content of each vote and come to an informed view.
Jack Elsom@JackElsom

The “MPs shouldn’t drink and vote” debate is a bit of a red herring because so often there's no cognitive function involved in voting. Most MPs show up to the voting lobbies when the bells ring, are told by their whips which division lobby to go through, and it’s job done. As long as they’re able to walk in a straight line the booze is neither here nor there.

Think this quote from Lucy who voted Conservative in 2019, Labour in 2024 and is probably voting Green now but would also consider Reform just encapsulates people’s desperation to find some/any party that would bring about the change they so desperately want

@coyleneil Maybe if it wasn’t taxpayer subsidised and maybe if we didn’t have multiple stories going back along way of MP’s acting out because they’ve had too much to drink, this would land better than it has done. Remember how MPs defended parliament bars staying open during Covid?

I haven’t drunk alcohol in over 4 years but I don’t believe a total ban is necessary in Parliament and know Southwark brewers have loved being the guest beer in Strangers. I’m also unaware of any Labour MP who took money from women to hypnotise their breasts larger.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

.@ZackPolanski calls out the number of Labour MPs who are defending their right to drink & get drunk at work. The fact that these MP's are choosing this particular hill to die on shows just how out of touch they are.

@ukreloaded Maybe the fact that they don’t socialise with a disgruntled public is part of the problem. So much defence of the status quo here which looks extremely out of touch to the general public.

@annaroseridgway Explain exactly what you mean by "good" and "worse"? What makes a "good" MP in your eyes and why exactly would they not want to be one if things changed? Who are these "worse" MPs that would suddenly fill those roles the "good" ones leave?

If we do things like this, we will end up with no “good” MPs. Most “good” MPs could easily get very high paid jobs with a much better work-life balance, but they make the sacrifice to serve the people. If we make it more of a sacrifice, we will only get “worse” MPs.
Ectopoint@Ectopoint

@annaroseridgway Move the whole of parliament to an industrial estate on the outskirts of Hull. Pay MP’s the average annual salary - if they want a pay rise they will have to increase the average annual salary for everyone. No expenses. No second homes. No second jobs. And no booze at work.

The UK's "king" Charles has landed and exited the plane for the FIRST STATE VISIT during Trump's second term. This is going to be a multiple day visit where he gets to DROOL over everything we've become that his country could NEVER even dream of becoming. American GREATNESS is on full display for the so-called king.
