Reminder: Stefan Kiszko, was wrongly convicted of a child rape and murder in 1976 (10-2 majority). The tabloids demanded he be hanged publicly. He served 16 years in jail before it was proved he’d been framed by police. The real killer, Ronald Castree, was free until 2007.
In the late 1980s, many Romanians, whether through indoctrination or fear of the secret police, didn't wake up and turn on Ceausescu until the day they found even potatoes were rationed. I wonder where along the line Brits will wake up, if not to today's honours list...
Angela Rayner has previously called for nicer politics, despite having to apologise previously for vile slurs on opposition MPs..
Today she branded the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, a
“pint-sized loser”

Always suspected the "long game" Corbynistas told me I didn't understand (and blocked me when I challenged them!) was to cross his fingers that Tories would wreck UK with No deal Brexit so he could then try to be some sort of Saviour. A cult as idiotic and damaging as Brexit.
You utter hypocrite. Churchill had many faults but his hatred of fascism gave him a vision of the EU 🇪🇺 and the ECHR. I believe he would be utterly appalled at the mess 14 years of Tories have made if Great Britain.

Call me a sentimental softie liberal leftie snowflake, but I'm actually pleased and proud that I'm still welling up each time I see that picture of Greta's solitary protest.
This must be the most inspiring story in the world.
A year ago
@GretaThunberg
missed school each Friday to conduct a solitary protest at Sweden's parliament. She was protesting inactivity in relation to the climate crisis.
Today millions of people globally joined her
This really stuns no one who has been paying attention. In the UK, 3 who care only about themselves are called Johnson, Farage and Truss. Guess where they've been!
BREAKING: In stunning newly leaked audio, Donald Trump’s VP, JD Vance, confirms that Donald Trump does not actually care about people other than himself. Retweet so all Americans know even JD Vance thinks Donald Trump is too selfish to be a good President.
The German grandma of a former pupil stunned year 6s where I taught, when she told them her family and many others thought, to start with, that Hitler was wonderful. Swallowed the populist, jingoistic lies until it was too late if dangerous to do anything about them.
The language of discrimination, of hate, of nationalism and of populism built this railway line.
The failure of the public to stand up soon enough, to speak up loud enough, to say "no" strongly enough, allowed the trains to start running.

was telling us Dom Cummings was a liar and a charlatan. Now he’s going to criticise Boris. So based on zero evidence, she’s decided he is suddenly the arbiter of justice and truth.
There was a time when I believed some of the things he said, and still might. But then he told outright lies about Brexit and the EU and all my respect for him vanished.
Compare and contrast; this government's unprecedented mishandling of the dual crises of Covid-19 and Brexit is causing death and misery across the country. This is now an emergency, a mechanism needs to be found to remove him and put in place a cross-party administration...

Idiot. I'm 68, lived though it all and am more pro Remain and pro EU than ever. I know what the totalitarian regimes were like when friends had to flee them or dared nor raise their voice in criticism. Brexit is an infantile tantrum. Whatever age you are, you need to grow up.

Perhaps the elderly tend to vote against the EU because they've lived through it since it's inception. They've seen what it started out as and what it's become. Not to mention that the elderly lived through the cold war and know what a totalitarian regime looks like.

And no doubt what white racists say behind closed doors is worse than their vile tweets and posts on FB and far right websites.
Children behind rising demand for virus tests - with schools open in the middle of a pandemic is it any wonder. I wonder why the government and its scientific advisors did not see this coming.
If it comes to it, every law is impossible to enforce. Many of the drivers on my last trip along M56 were breaking unenforceable laws. So shall we just say 100mph, drunk, on mobile phone, or with bald tyres isn't breaking the law?
Rigsby in Rising Damp was your archetypal Reform voter. Racist, misogynist, money grubbing... And constantly bested by his far more intelligent black lodger, the wonderful Don Warrington.
Food for thought.
Can you imagine being sat in a room watching one of these brilliant comedies with a Labour politician or one of these boring left wing commentators?
Now that itself would be worth watching 👀
I've thought that about a whole lot of politicians. Tragically, it's John Smith, Robin Cook, Charles Kennedy who drop dead before their time, or John F Kennedy and Jo Cox who get assassinated... The wicked ones seem to go on for ever...
Am I alone in hoping that Donald Trump drops stone dead on the sidewalk tomorrow?
No malice, I just think the world would be a better place instantly if this were to happen.

"We are not the sort of country that tells people what to do", says health minister Gillian Keegan.
Which is a problem. Because in a public health crisis, people look to gov't precisely to tell them what to do. So, refusing to is not 'liberal'. It's an abrogation of your duty.
I won't be there. I'm patriotic 🏴, not a traitorous far right thug. So I'll be celebrating English 🏴 history, tradition and culture at a day long English 🏴 folk dance festival. Maybe you'll dance into the long arms of the law. Here's hoping.

´Speaking to BBC Radio 4´s Today programme, Mr Raab said that it was "very unlikely" that prorogation would be needed. But he added, "It is wrong to rule out any tool to make sure that we leave by the end of October."
If the government genuinely didn't know about the new strain of C-19, that scientists knew about in September, until much later, isn't that just another admission of abject incompetence?

Manchester Central before it became a Nightingale. I've passed by several times on foot, and apart from a single security guard it's apparently deserted.
I agree. We're in an unprecedented situation. Most of EU knows we were lied to by frauds and charlatans. It's urgent. Starmer and Labour have to be made to realise.
I find a photo op involving a Princess handling tins of food destined for people with no money particularly revolting.
Imagine if journalists hammered the glorification of food banks by people who’ll never need to use them, rather than workers on strike?
No. Farage has adnitted
it's a failure, but has refused to leave as promised. But I gather his bank is giving him a helping hand. 😂
