@TheNewsAgents @graeme_from_IT assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a822842… Perhaps read this then if you think Sharia law exists in this country.

"Truss says Islamism is backing the UK government, for which there is no evidence," says Lewis Goodall. "She says there is Sharia law in Britain, and that's a problem – also a complete lie." The UK doesn't listen to Liz Truss, so why does MAGA America? thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-do…

For the SNP to deny knowledge that Jordan Linden was rotten is absurd. Here are two emails sent in 2017, and 2022, about him. They knew.

@KarlTurnerMP For those of you living outside Scotland this bare faced lying is what we have experienced for several years and,continue to experience, under the SNP.

I got the memo now. Morgan McSweeney was mugged, reported that to the police, followed all the processes. Any questions around this is just conspiracy theory territory, really. Let’s move along now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

🚨BREAKING: Kev the ranter has just SLAMMED the SNP in Edinburgh who were marching for independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Listen to the passion in his voice, @KevinTheRanter is an absolute PATRIOT 🫡 Video credit to @LadyK1314

So let me get this right - instead of dealing with the convicted sex pest Jordan Linden scandal immediately the first priority of @theSNP was to complain about the journalist Hannah Rodger for reporting it? What a disgusting party you lead @JohnSwinney. #SNPout

The reason we have such terrible politicians is because we have such terrible journalism.

SNP John Swinney is determined to ram self-ID law through in Scotland, he's also responsible for "queering" Scottish school children and indoctrinating teachers with transgender ideology... Swinney is a danger to women and children... Hell mend anyone who votes for the SNP...

@POScotParl @ScotParl You let the administration running Scotland to have a very easy ride ensuring democracy couldn’t rear its head. Personally, I think you should be ashamed.

This session we have celebrated our most diverse membership ever @scotparl. I thank them all for their contribution to Parliament. I hope that the 45% of women colleagues we have today isn’t a high point, but the foundation of a truly representative Parliament.

Good evening, Zarah Sultana. How very revealing. You stand there with your practised crocodile tears, desperately pleading for foreign health and social care workers to be granted indefinite leave to remain, because in your eyes the NHS was never built for the British people, it was built as an international jobs centre for the third world. One does so admire a woman born in Pakistan who now sits in the British Parliament fighting harder for Hamas, the IRGC and Hezbollah than she ever has for the British constituents she claims to represent. While British patients die on trolleys and waiting lists explode, you champion the very ideology that celebrates the rape and murder of British girls and calls for jihad on our streets. The British public sees you clearly now, Zarah Sultana, a fifth-column traitor, a disloyal Islamist sympathiser who has spent her entire political life advancing foreign interests and terrorist causes while treating the native population of this country with open contempt. We now know who every single one of you are. There’s no more hiding. You are not a politician. You are an infiltrator. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@macnahgalla @Rossac69_1 I voted Labour at the last election purely to remove the SNP. It worked and then Labour turned out to be red SNP. They can f… right off I won’t vote for them ever again.

This is the first Tactical Voting advice for constituency’s in the May Scottish election that I have seen. I’m sharing it but not endorsing it! Personally, I will be voting as per this advice, however, my list vote will be with Reform.

@heraldscotland Was Beth waiting on the other side?

Alex Cole-Hamilton took the Holyrood campaign across the River Clyde in a speedboat 👇

@BethRigby Just like your mate Sturgeon. They are unfit for public office.

WATCH: Starmer on ‘beating himself up’ over Mandelson is worth watching because I really think it’s a very rare & believable moment where Starmer reveals how he’s really feeling; showing some vulnerability and anger with himself over the decision he took

The party so enraptured by cross dressing men they stood one as a candidate and didn't even bother to vet him He was a peadophile

Beth Rigby – The Mask Is Gone. This is not journalism. This is propaganda, performed live on Sky News by a woman who has spent years pretending to be an impartial political editor while openly serving as Keir Starmer’s personal PR handler. Beth Rigby sat through a weeping Prime Minister’s performance and offered him comfort instead of questions. She gave him the softest landing imaginable while the country he leads is being deliberately dismantled. She is the same journalist who broke lockdown rules herself at Kay Burley’s illegal birthday dinner, then spent years helping hound the public and the last government over Partygate. She is the same journalist who ambushes Nigel Farage and Reform with loaded questions but rolls out the red carpet for Labour. She is the same journalist who has been called out repeatedly as a propagandist, not a reporter, because that is exactly what she has become. Paid and protected by the establishment she serves, Beth Rigby has spent this interview shielding Starmer from every single issue that actually matters to the British people. Here are the five questions any real journalist would have asked instead of handing him tissues and absolution: 1. Prime Minister, you spent ten minutes crying about your “mistake” in rehabilitating Peter Mandelson, a man twice forced to resign in disgrace with documented ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Why did you appoint him as Britain’s Ambassador to the United States? 2. Your senior aide Morgan McSweeney had his phone allegedly stolen from inside No.10 and serious questions remain about the cover-up. What are you hiding, and why was this only given one weak throwaway question at the very end? 3. Since you took office the small boat crossings have continued at record levels, with hundreds of thousands more illegal migrants flooding into Britain. You scrapped Rwanda on day one and refuse to turn any boat back. Why have you completely failed to stop the boats? 4. Why has your Labour government repeatedly blocked or watered down a full national public inquiry into the grooming gangs that destroyed thousands of British girls, many in Labour-run towns and councils? 5. You have cut winter fuel payments from millions of British pensioners, forcing them to choose between heating and eating, while still housing illegal migrants in hotels and handing massive pay rises to public-sector workers. How do you justify betraying the very working-class and elderly voters who put you in power? Beth Rigby, the British public has seen enough. You are no longer a journalist. You are a paid operative for a failing regime. In front of the entire world you have disgraced your profession and this nation. The British people want you gone from their television screens permanently. Whatever the establishment is paying you, it had better be enough to keep you far away from real British life for the rest of your days. Because the mask is not slipping anymore. It is gone. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@JohnSwinney Who you are is a charlatan. A bag man for the despicable Sturgeon. A destroyer of democracy in Scotland. The worst of all politicians. You didn’t earn your nickname by default.

This is who I am, and this is what you will always get with me with as your First Minister.

@JChimirie66677 @mgt_coull26 I call it the “Sturgeon defence”.

Beating Yourself Up Is Not the Same as Being Accountable Keir Starmer has discovered a new defence. Not ignorance, which the vetting documents destroyed. Not deception, which the paper trail contradicts. Something softer and harder to prosecute. He beats himself up. He dwells on it. He is, he assures us, his own harshest critic. Accountability has consequences. It involves the surrender of something: office, authority, the power to make the next mistake. Self-flagellation on a podcast involves none of those things. It is the political equivalent of a public apology that asks the wronged party to comfort the wrongdoer. Starmer is not accepting consequences. He is asking for sympathy while retaining everything. Consider what he is actually saying. That no external criticism can match the severity of his internal verdict. That he has, in effect, already punished himself more harshly than anyone else could. The logical implication is that further accountability is therefore unnecessary. He has handled it. Internally. In his own head. The matter is closed. That is not accountability. It's theatre. It is not closed. A man with a known, documented relationship with a convicted paedophile was placed in Britain's most sensitive diplomatic post. The vetting file flagged the risk in writing. The national security adviser said the process was weirdly rushed. The chief of staff who drove the appointment has resigned. The phone containing the key messages has disappeared. A police investigation was filed under the wrong address and closed. A disgraced peer was paid £75,000 of public money to stop him talking. Starmer did not stumble into this. He signed off on it. He knew about the Epstein connection. He chose to proceed. That is not a mistake in the ordinary sense of the word. A mistake is what happens when you act without sufficient information. Starmer had the information. The vetting document existed. The warnings were made. The decision to override them was deliberate. He invokes his twenty years fighting violence against women and girls as context for the error, as if a long record of good work provides a credit account against which bad decisions can be offset. But that record does not bear the weight he places on it. As Director of Public Prosecutions, Starmer presided over a Crown Prosecution Service that failed to prosecute grooming gangs operating openly in towns across the north of England. Girls were being abused on an industrial scale. The institution he led looked the other way. He has never offered a satisfactory account of why. A man whose professional legacy includes that failure is not well placed to invoke the protection of women and girls as a shield against scrutiny. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein did not receive an apology from a man beating himself up on a podcast. They received one more reminder that the powerful operate by different rules. That the standard applied to them is internal, private and self-assessed. That the harshest critic of Keir Starmer is, conveniently, Keir Starmer, and that he has already delivered his verdict and found the sentence acceptable. A Prime Minister who knowingly placed a compromised figure at the heart of Britain's most important diplomatic relationship, then watched the evidence trail go cold, then told the country he feels really bad about it, has not met the threshold that public office demands. He has met the threshold that self-preservation requires. Those are not the same thing. And the country knows the difference. "It is the political equivalent of a public apology that asks the wronged party to comfort the wrongdoer. Starmer is not accepting consequences. He is asking for sympathy while retaining everything."

Prime Minister, let’s strip this back to basics. MPs don’t stand up at PMQs for their own amusement. They stand there on behalf of their constituents. Real people. Taxpayers. Voters. The very people you are supposed to serve. Yet week after week, what do they get in return? Evasion. Smug deflection. A rehearsed script that dances around the question without ever daring to answer it. It’s contempt. Plain and simple. PMQs is meant to be one of the most important pillars of our democracy. A moment where the Prime Minister is held accountable in full view of the public. Instead, you’ve turned it into a pantomime of arrogance, where genuine questions are brushed aside like inconveniences. You don’t answer because you either can’t or won’t. And neither is acceptable. When you refuse to answer an MP, you’re not just dodging them, you’re dismissing every single person they represent. Entire communities reduced to background noise while you deliver soundbites and smirks. That isn’t leadership. It’s a disgrace. If you have any respect left for the office you hold, for Parliament, and for the people of this country, then start answering questions properly. Or step aside for someone who will.

@HouseofCommons I didn’t tune in but I guess he never answered them. Which is why I never tune in any more.

Today Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faced questions from MPs in @houseofcommons.

@Ed_Miliband @UKLabour Energy prices are usually cut just at the time when people use less energy. It will go up sept/oct this year. Prices are down as you have removed the green levy, however, you have moved that to more direct taxation.

I know families will be concerned about the impact of the Iran conflict on the cost of living here at home. From next week energy bills will fall by 7%, and the price cap will provide protection for households until the end of June. We're determined to fight people’s corner.

@ShabanaMahmood In what way are Muslims’ “essential”. I cannot think of one aspect of life which has been improved by Muslims being in this country.

It was a pleasure to celebrate Eid at 10 Downing Street yesterday. And it was a moment to remind those who might think otherwise: British Muslims are an essential part of our country's national life. Unity, not division.
