Why didn’t politicians issue mass-condemnations when a middle aged man attempted to burn dozens of gay people alive in a suspected hate crime in Milton Keynes last week?

@SteveReedMP Utterly pathetic. You won’t win back our votes by telling us we’re stupid or antisemitic. Labour is a ruling class scam that offers nothing to the working class. You have no right to lecture anyone on morality while you actively support a genocide.

If you’re wondering how to cast your vote on 7th May make sure you have all the facts. The Greens aren’t what they seem.

Here is “I Feel So Free” by Madonna Just premiered on the radio without promotion, will possibly come to Spotify tomorrow :)

I'm not "anti-skyscraper", but I'm not proud that Manchester overwhelmingly grants planing permission for them seemingly everywhere. You can get similar densities from mid-rise courtyard blocks. 👇Example

13 years ago today panic spread on social media, as people feared Cher had died due to the hashtag #nowthatchersdead Fortunately, Cher was alive and the hashtag was for Margaret Thatcher.

@Anglojake @itvnews @BBCNews @SkyNews Why are you okay with rape and murder when it’s committed by white British men?

So UK shop Lush has put this sign up in all of its shops across the UK. Imagine the family’s of those raped and murdered by asylum seekers having to see this. Why are high street shops allowed to put political messages like this up ? @itvnews @BBCNews @SkyNews

@MikeTappTweets Which country? And how about the democratic socialism part?

Always. It’s on the membership card.

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

Happy Ray of Light anniversary to all who celebrate 🌞

And half of the time, they don’t mind promoting racists, transphobes, homophobes and misogynists in their defence of the status quo. If your whole belief system is essentially capitalism with a pride flag, at least have the integrity to avoid promoting bigots. Zero principles.

I will never not believe that centrists are just conservatives (or worse) in denial. They always vehemently defend capitalism and imperialism and they always condemn anyone who criticises capitalism and imperialism.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a centrist say a single positive thing about anything. Every single tweet, comment, story is a condemnation. Oh you don’t want to go to war? You’re insane! You don’t adore Starmer? You’re stupid! You think we can do better? Leave it to the grown-ups!

@RoworthJack “Independent journalist” licking the boots of a fascist paedophile? Weird and extremely embarrassing

The president that talks the talk and walks the walk. Best military on the planet.

Sanchez is what the mainstream centre-left used to look like. It’s the bare minimum we should be expecting from Labour, but they’ve swerved so far to the right this looks radical.

@JohnRentoul What an outrageously partisan load of drivel. Anything but listen to the voters, eh? Labour deserves extinction - and so do their elitist mouthpieces. 🥀

The last thing Labour should do is to “lurch to the left” to appease the Greens independent.co.uk/voices/labour-…

@MikeTappTweets Have some humility, bloody hell. Labour lost because they ran a rotten campaign and everyone despises them. The arrogance is just astounding. 🥀

I’m so sorry that many voters were tricked by the extreme left.

@PolitlcsUK Not a trace of grace or humility in sight. Starmer just doesn’t listen. He’ll never take accountability. Everyone else is wrong but never him. Starmer’s Labour deserves extinction. 🥀

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs to explain why Labour lost the Gorton and Denton by-election Dear Colleagues, The result in Gorton and Denton is deeply disappointing. Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them. We have to learn lessons from that, and we will. I know this is a tough result for our movement but I still want to thank you for everything you did to support our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia. She did a fantastic job and Gorton and Denton deserved to have her as their MP. We’ve seen the true colours of Zack Polanski’s Greens in this campaign. The Greens were able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line. Their willingness to welcome Galloway's divisive, sectarian politics is a sign that the Greens are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be, and their position on legalising all drugs shows how unstable this electoral coalition is. It cannot survive a general election campaign. It hurts, but this is the kind of result that we have often seen parties of government face. In by-elections people can make their voice heard without risking a change of government. I get it: people are rightly impatient to see the change they voted for. It’s my job to make sure that happens. And I’m working day in, day out to see it through. Over the coming months, people will feel the benefit of the long-term decisions this government is taking. Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. And look at the policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives in the coming months: the landmark Employment Rights Act, money off energy bills, the cruel two-child limit scrapped, more free breakfast clubs opening, Pride in Place funding coming through, NHS waiting lists continuing to fall. It will show what we’ve been saying from the outset of this year: the country is turning a corner. These are all Labour policies, putting Labour values into action - policies no other party would or could deliver. The Greens may have won here, but they simply do not have the resources, the activist base or the local knowledge to replicate this victory across the country. We’ve seen that before. We’ve seen it with the Lib Dems, who have often won mid-term by-elections against both the Conservatives and Labour, but never been able to come close to winning nationally. We’ve seen it with George Galloway, who won two mid-term by elections but held neither of those seats in a general election. We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose: the risk of extreme policies like legalising all drugs and pulling out of NATO that most voters strongly reject, and the risk of splitting the progressive vote so that Reform come through the middle. The next election is too important to let that happen. It’s a fight we can win, and we’re going to win it. Best, Keir

Shrodingers Muslim, they're ultra conservative who would throw gay people off buildings, but also force their wives to vote for a gay vegan Jew. The notion of sectarian is simply Muslim hate, thats it.

@PolitlcsUK Ahh yes, “extreme left” policies like insulating homes, taxing extreme wealth and opposing genocide

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer says Labour's loss in the Gorton and Denton by-election was "a disappointing result" "Incumbent Governments quite often get results like that... I will fight against the extremes in politics, on the right and left"

I’m disgusted by the Islamophobia seeping from Reform UK and Labour today. Muslims voting isn’t ’sectarianism’ it is their democratic right. If they choose not to vote for racists, it’s on you to not be a racist.
