A few months ago this white man went on a rampage in London with a sword. He brutally murdered this child & seriously injured both members of the public & police officers trying to help. Strangely, the right wing thugs didn't riot to protect this English child. I wonder why.

Dear @bbcnews, I've just been looking at your election results tracker. It seems Reform won 2 seats. The Greens won 181 - NINETY times more seats. Can I assume that from now on we'll see the Greens represented 90 times more often than Reform on your shows?. For balance.

Let's do maths!. £1,600,000,000/2000 = £800,000 per asylum seeker. £800,000/730 days (2 years) = £1095.89 PER NIGHT. For a shared room. Let me say that again. To "save" the UK taxpayer the cost of a £50/night room, the conservatives are spending £1095/night. Of YOUR money.
Australian Jamie Pherous was given at least £1.6bn to provide barges to house 2000 migrants for ONLY 2 years. There was no competition and the deal was done in secret. Just how much money did the owner of CTM ’donate’ to Conservatives to get this ridiculous payday?

We’re one of the world’s richest nations and part of the G8. But our aircraft carriers don’t work, we can’t build a train line, our roads are full of potholes, we can’t pay our doctors and young people can’t afford homes. Where the fuck is all the money?.
