@Steven_Swinford @RhonddaBryant Politics does not bring people together , it’s clearly the opposite?

BREAKING:
Sir Keir Starmer has accused JD Vance of trying to 'interfere in our democracy' and 'stir up division on our streets' after the vice president blamed Henry Nowak's murder on the 'mass invasion of migrants'
A Number 10 spokesperson said: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets.
“The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes.
“Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”

@SamanthaNiblet4 Yeah, it is hard! To basically lie to myself , knowing it’s an actual man
English
Just respect other people’s wishes for how they want to be referred to.
It’s not hard.
One of the things we British are supposed to be renowned for is good manners.

He doesn’t speak for me.
He’s a grifting chancer who’s leapt on the bandwagon here despite the family’s explicit request that people don’t use their sad loss to stoke tension and division.

Farage may well have been outnumbered in the Commons this morning, but outside he speaks for large chunks of the country. 🇬🇧

@EdwardJDavey Hiding behind his family! This became political the night Nowak died, I’m sorry but Nowaks family said they wanted change , you missed that part
English
@ZiaYusufUK George Floyd was murdered by the Police.
Henry Nowak was murdered by a criminal & disgustingly treated by the Police.
Two different cases.
I will not relent.
English
All the same politicians who spoke of “rage” and “unspeakable fury” and forced a cultural revolution after George Floyd now demand “calm” and “no politicisation” after Henry’s murder.
The reason is simple.
George Floyd was black.
Henry Nowak was white.
We will not relent.
English
@RealityMUFC @ZiaYusufUK And? The circumstances, response and the undignified way Nowak died are just as bad
English
@ZiaYusufUK George Floyd was killed by a policeman
Henry Nowak was killed by Vickrum Digwa
Do you want me to explain this again to you?

@PippaCrerar You just know if all the roles were reversed there would have been a different response
English
Keir Starmer accuses Nigel Farage of "exploiting" the death of Henry Nowak with his call for people to respond with "pure, cold fury".
The Reform leader criticised 'two tier policing' and warned that violence in Southampton was "in danger of getting considerably worse" if public lost faith in police.
A clearly furious Starmer told MPs that Farage's words were "unforgivable".
"I don't believe there is two-tier policing in this country. I am really shocked that he pretends to have respect for Henry's family and then behaves in this way.
"The grieving family has asked us not to respond in the way the Reform leader has done. They made a simple plea to us as human beings not to exploit that.
"His response has been to appeal for rage. Rage. That's his response to a father who has lost his son and asked this not to happen.
"Exploiting that tragedy to create division would be wrong in any circumstances. To do it when the family are expressly saying 'please don't' is unforgivable.
"It shows exactly who he is".

We are about to see Nasty Nige’s candidate get his just desserts for his disgraceful sexism, misogynistic and homophobic comments.

@LovernGee @JeremyVineOn5 @Marvyn_Harrison @thecarolemalone @theJeremyVine Farage did nothing of the sort
English
@JeremyVineOn5 @Marvyn_Harrison @thecarolemalone @theJeremyVine Tommy Robinson told his supporters to go to Southampton Police Station, where he to fanned hatred & encourage his supporters to riot. Nigel Farage & Tommy Robinson are the cause for the attacks on police, Neither cared about the Nowak family & respecting their wishes
English
"This is not a race-led crime in the same way."
@Marvyn_Harrison says comparing the Henry Nowak case to BLM is reductive and "offensive" because George Floyd's murder was a culmination of decades of the police's racial prejudice.

@narindertweets They're desperately trying to relate what happened to George Floyd showing they don't care about Henry at all it's all about point scoring.
The victim had a fatal wound to his heart he was not going to survive police should have done better but
Digwa did this not police.
English
Are these people actually suggesting there is institutionalised anti white racism?!?
England is over 80% White and you think there is an anti-white campaign against the White people- by institutions that are predominantly run by White people?!?!??!
Seriously?? 😭
White people have never been systemically targeted or oppressed in europe, get a grip!
English
@NickCohen4 How did he incite violence? I reckon the incident and how it was handled incited it
English
For years Nigel Farage insisted that he wasn't a far-right politician
Now, as he incites violence and spouts barefaced lies, we can see him for what he is

@MattChorley You do know what cold rage is? It doesn’t matter what Farage said , people are still furious
English
I owe Nigel Farage an apology.
During last night’s Newsnight we covered the murder of Henry Nowak and the political reaction to the case, including discussing Nigel Farage’s comments about “pure, cold rage”.
However I referred to “white cold rage”. This was a mistake on my part, a misremembering of the quote. It didn’t change the content of the interview but I should have got the quote right. I apologise to Nigel Farage for this.
English
Two cheeks one arse.
A horrific pair of race baiting bigots.
Nasty Nige has crossed a major line today with his incitement and he should never be forgiven.
Remember today, and remember who he is when he shows us.

Someone is going to have to stage some sort of intervention. Zia Yusuf’s social media posts are becoming so hysterical he’s going to cross a line soon.

🚨The BBC had just sunk to a new low. On Newsnight last night, presenter Matt Chorley claimed Nigel Farage said people should respond to the murder of Henry Nowak with “white cold rage”. Nigel DID NOT SAY THIS. The insertion of the word “white” by the BBC is obviously designed to change the meaning completely. It was no slip of the tongue, Chorley said it THREE TIMES. He came prepared to defame Nigel and lie to the country. This is disgusting from the BBC. Why do they insist on spitting in the faces of the millions of Reform supporters who are forced to contribute to their salaries? THE BBC MUST APOLOGISE IMMEDIATELY

@Fr12ee44Spewxh @JackHadders One family can’t control an entire country’s anger
English
@JackHadders How is this helping? How does this comply with Henry’s parents request? What has that police officer got to do with any of it? This ridiculous behaviour is why the right get a bad name.
English
Angry protesters confronted the police in Southampton, demanding they “bend the knee and pay their respects to Henry” Nowak.
“What are you gonna do? Put me in cuffs and kill me?” said one after the police told them it was in the hands of the IOPC
English
@JackWDart If you think people are just at farages command you are absolutely clueless , you don’t understand why people are angry
English
This is precisely what Farage and his cronies have caused. Their language has inflamed the situation.
Reform is a disgrace.

@ZackPolanski @thedevilstuna You just don’t get why people are angry.
English
Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling.
His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."
English
@therealmissjo @spikedonline Anyone can accuse someone of being racist and the people have to come and arrest them fir questioning , it’s bonkers
English
@spikedonline What I don’t understand is that even if the police believed that he had uttered some racist words, why did they restrain him like this?
He was not attacking anyone. Being aggressive.
He was slumped against a wall.
English
The footage of Henry Nowak’s arrest is beyond appalling. He was treated like an animal on the basis of his killer’s lies about ‘racism’. A truly sickening spectacle, says Brendan O’Neill

@HumzaYousaf Like to are using his family? I’m afraid this is far bigger than his family’s wishes, people were fuming before Farage said anything
English
The Nowak family are a credit to this country
It speaks volumes to their character that, while grieving, they called for Henry's murder not to be used to cause division
Sick individuals, like Farage & Robinson, dishonour Henry's memory by using his murder to further their hate
English
