@RachelMoiselle @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk should listen to #Shakespeare and withdraw the blatant misrepresentation to save their #reputation.

A blatant misrepresentation of Kemi’s words on a very serious subject matter. Wholly indecent, despicable behaviour.
Reform UK@reformparty_uk
Kemi Badenoch, just like Starmer, doesn’t care. Only Reform UK will openly say that white lives matter too.

@CPhilpOfficial @SkyNews All Lives Matter - full stop

Stop dividing our country by race or religion.
We need absolute equality under the law for every British citizen, with zero labels.
Common sense must prevail.

@sophielouisecc @SuellaBraverman & @reformparty_uk insult our intelligence by rewriting & misrepresenting what @KemiBadenoch actually said to suit their political agenda
English
Her full quote was
I don’t want to hear about Black Lives Matter.
I don’t want to hear about White Lives Matter.
Everyone matters.
Henry Nowak matters.
Which is entirely right. Everyone matters. She cares about all lives.
How can you criticise that? Looks like reform are rattled by kemi

@NeilDotObrien ICYMI - the so-called 'Black Lives Matter' is a leftist British political pressure group.
Why?
They never utter a word in condemnation African-on-African genocide

Given that some people are now trying to *completely* re-write history it is worth recalling which minister got lots of flack back in 2020 for attacking critical race theory.

@BBCAfrica The past teaches us, Africans, that we must kill #Tribalism before #Tribalism kills all all of us.
Why?
We have been killing each other since independence

With wars unfolding around the world, historians often ask: what can the past teach us?
#BBCAfricaEye has been interviewing witnesses to the Nigerian Civil War, fought in the 1960s, which may offer important lessons for today.

It doesn’t matter who replaces the Prime Minister.
Labour MPs will keep asking for more tax to pay for more benefits.

@kevinhollinrake I find the comment @SuellaBraverman
@reformparty_uk a nonsensical stuff meant for their echo chamber.
@KemiBadenoch clearly said, and I totally agree, that all lives matter - Black, White or Brown

Exactly why I left the Conservatives. When I was Home Secretary, I grew frustrated with two-tier policing. For calling it out, I was sacked by a Conservative PM and former colleagues like Kemi refused to accept the crisis in policing. Now, we have yet another sickening example of two tier policing. And the uniparty buries its head in the sand yet again.

@LauraTrottMP @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives should ignore @reformparty_uk .
They are in their echo chamber

This is revolting. Pure gutter politics.

@KemiBadenoch I, an immigrant, saw the danger of identity politics coming 12 years ago, and wrote letter @LettersDesk @Telegraph
English
Identity politics divides our country whoever is doing it.
The Conservative Party rejects it.
We believe in universalism and equality under the law. We must not treat people differently on the basis of skin colour. We have to build faith and trust in our institutions.
If there is one thing that should come from Henry’s death, it is that we make things better, so that this does not happen to any of our boys again.
That is what I am committed to.
I do not want his death to be in vain.
Let’s do this for Henry. Let’s get this right.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Lord Haselhurst, a distinguished parliamentarian who served for decades, including as my predecessor as Chairman of Ways and Means and Chair of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

@NigelBiggar And why not me, a beneficiary of the slave trade?
My distant ancestors in East Africa went into jungle, hunted down, captured and sold fellow Africans as slaves, first to the Arabs, and much later to the transatlantic traders? I am not alone

If Britain must pay reparations for slavery, why not Arab states? Why not African elites descended from slave-traders?
The current campaign depends on a cartoonishly simple tale of white exploiters and black victims. But Africans had been enslaving other Africans for centuries before Europeans appeared off the West African coast, and when British traders came looking for slaves, African traders brought them to the shore.

@Telegraph Social media is doing worse to my native Africa. Tribal hatred is peddled, and tribal war fought online. People "kill" and celebrate the death of their opponents online. @JanetMuseveni has been the latest victim

'It used to be said that the internet emboldened people to say things they would never dare say in real life – but the clear ability for aggression and polarisation to drive engagement has changed that.
'The online spillover to the real world risks fraying our very social fabric.'

The dead bodies of half a million Biafrans will not force the British to change her policies concerning the Nigerian civil war, The Biafra nation cannot be allowed to be, for we do not trust what they will become with their vast resources around the Russians or French.

The heartbreaking and tragic murder of Henry Nowak has exposed that we live in our country where people are no longer treated equally under the law.
Political correctness has overpowered common sense policing and it is time for that to end.
