@AdrianBeney @lara_wildenberg I think that column is showing the rural population of that ethnic group, as a proportion of the total population *of that ethnic group*. So it's saying people whose ethnicity is white gypsy or Irish traveller are more likely to live rurally than other ethnic groups.
English
@lara_wildenberg your article on ethnic minorities in rural Britain contains a table which appears to show that nationally more people identify as “white, gypsy or Irish traveller” than “white, English, welsh, Scottish, NI or British”. Surely that can’t be right?

@the1andonlyscog @DavidRo76728586 @ZackPolanski How would Labour be deleting things on X, owned by Elon Musk, or Facebook, owned by Mark Zuckerberg?
How would these statistics even exist it they aren't officially published?
Maybe it shocked you because it's completely implausible?
English
@tspacker @DavidRo76728586 @ZackPolanski The list has been shown on most platforms etc,
Crimes committed by population of ethnicity in the UK
If it’s not available now it might be because labour has removed it
Honestly it shocked me it was broken down by Asian, African and yet whites were jailed more per-100

Our rally tonight is already sold out, Mike.
But thanks for the extra publicity.
Labour are done.

Hilarious to see Zack Polanski trying to hypnotise the public about voting intentions in Gorton and Denton. Dodgy.
English
@the1andonlyscog @DavidRo76728586 @ZackPolanski What? No, that's not remotely true. Where are you getting this from?
The nearest I can find is arrest statistics, which show that, as of 2023, around 2/3rds of arrests were of white British people.
Are you mixing it up with number of arrests per 1000 people?
English
@DavidRo76728586 @tspacker @ZackPolanski Who pretending ? White/ British men commit between 11 + 13% of crime yes
So that means 86 - 89% is committed by ethnic minorities, look on the government ethnic crime figures
The English / UK’s own population are about 16/17th on the list near the bottom
English
@the1andonlyscog @ZackPolanski Imaging thinking you're insulting someone by saying they don't want Britain to be filled with a barely-trained, barely-vetted armed paramilitary force that regularly shoots innocent people and kidnaps children.

@ZackPolanski Is this just wishful thinking?

@AllyFogg @UKRegulator There is a specific carve-out for all-women shortlists, you're just looking in the wrong place - it's in section 104. Text, and explanatory note, attached.
English
@UKRegulator I've had good looks around and I can't find anyone anywhere in any media saying that it is legal to have BAME shortlists for political office except you.
Even if you're right & everyone else is wrong, it doesn't really get us anywhere.

@thomasforth I've realised I was ambiguous here
- I don't mean there is a Cambridge college richer than *each* university north of it. A single Cambridge college is richer than every English university north of Cambridge *combined*.
English
@thomasforth Yes - universities deliberately shut down at Northampton, Stamford, Durham (twice).
So endowment flowed from North to South - Durham alone founded three Oxford colleges.
Wealth they still have now - a single college at Cambridge is richer than every university north of it.
English
It's always only ever one part of things, but I do think this map is one part of why North England's big cities are so comparatively poor within Europe. And we should know that this was by deliberate choice of the English Parliament under pressure from Oxford and Cambridge.

Universities in Europe in 1650

@SublimeTerrible @thomasforth At the start of the 16th Century, Aberdeenshire had MORE universities than England.
(Aberdeen, Marischal and Fraserburgh.)
English
@thomasforth Apparently there was a time when Aberdeens two universities was equal to the whole of Englands i.e Oxford and Cambridge.

Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽

(Not an objection to the cause, but they can't remove one flag saying they object to all "cause" flags, then fly one for a different cause.
If you're going to say that this has the Union Jack as part of it - I'll happily provide a UK/County Durham Pride flag if they'll fly it.)

Interesting to see an Armed Forces Day flag replacing County Durham's at @DurhamCouncil HQ today.
A month ago we were told no other flags would be flown because UK and Durham flags already represent us all - a change of heart, or is it just Pride that @reformparty_uk dislikes?

Great speech from @DalrympleWill at the march in London over the weekend in solidarity with Gaza. If you haven't listened to the @EmpirePodUK episodes about the history of the region, I highly recommend you do ✊🇵🇸

I genuinely wanted you to prove I was wrong not to trust you, now you’re taking the PIP I need to be well enough to work and blaming it on low paid immigrants and refugees
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
I'm backing Britain’s young people. We're charging employers more to recruit from overseas and, if they do, they must prove they are investing in British workers and increasing British skills. That's the fair and right thing to do.

We were told Labour is listening, but anyone on the doors in Runcorn would have heard voters complain about winter fuel allowance, cost of living and general Govt incompetence. But rather than address these issues it engages in race to bottom with Reform

There is genuinely nothing more homophobic than thinking lesbians and gay men aren't attracted to people but simply sets of genitals.
It's as bad as the bigots who scream "stop discussing your sex life" if anyone even mentions they're gay.

Netanyahu’s plan to ‘move’ Gaza’s people would be a vile act of ethnic cleansing against a population already facing genocide. Two months of total blockade have starved Palestinians. It must end now: reopen crossings, deliver aid at scale, and stop assaults on civilian lives.

She's right, and all the nasty bullying and pressure from "Gender Critical" feminists hasn't bowed her at all. Including some very nasty lesbophobia aimed at her because she stayed with a lesbian friend when split with husband. A friend who was married at the time!
