Rising crime in London - as far as we know it's shoplifting, theft and fraud, serious violence is down - is a problem only because it spooks 'international investors'. Citizens are of secondary concern. We've never known this degree of subjugation. x.com/BorisJohnson/s… -

#AngelaRayner must know that she is toast. It is just embarrassing now. Get on with it. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/braggi…

A #Labour Deputy Leadership Election? There has not been one of those in government since 2007. And they are far more interesting than they sound. If, as we do on here, you like your politics properly vicious. #AngelaRayner #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/braggi…

#RobertJenrick gave his daughter the middle name Thatcher. Not Margaret. Thatcher. As a candidate for Conservative Party Leader, he claimed to have, "met pensioners who had illegal migrants in their bedrooms when they woke up in the morning." #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/enragi…

I've been painting pentagrams on all the roundabouts.

#RobertJenrick wants points of entry to the UK to display the flag of a foreign state. A state, moreover, that armed #Argentina during the #Falklands War, and on which his beloved Margaret Thatcher imposed an arms embargo. #Israel #Gaza #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/enragi…

#RobertJenrick is just not a serious person, although he also has a deeply sinister side, ordering the painting over of children's cartoons, and associating with Richard Desmond in such a way that even #BorisJohnson felt obliged to sack him. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/enragi…

#BorisJohnson is kite-flying for an attempted comeback as Mayor of London. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/enragi…

Having *again* prejudiced an ongoing criminal case, it is only because #RobertJenrick is a joke that he hasn't been struck off as a solicitor, and quite possibly found in contempt of court as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was. #Newsnight #TommyRobinson nazir afzal davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/enragi…

#PeterKyle on #Newsnight? He is about to become a *huge* embarrassment, and #AngelaRayner's flat is in his constituency so as to take his seat, not for herself, but for Sam Tarry. As so often, you read it here first. davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/tarry-…

As the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, #PeterKyle would administer #DigitalID. Would you trust him and his ilk with your children’s and grandchildren’s photographs and contact details? Here's why you shouldn't. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/tarry-…

Which politician in #NorthKorea is as critical of the Government there as #NigelFarage is of the Government in Britain? Which newspaper in North Korea is as critical of the Government there as the #DailyMail is of the Government in Britain? #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

Which television station in #NorthKorea is comparable to the #GBNews of #NigelFarage and of the #Mail's Andrew Pierce? Hyperbole has its place, but hysteria serves only to discredit the struggle for freedom of expression. That struggle matters. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

Not very long ago, the #transgender and #LGBTQ flags were among those invariably waved by the people who had taken to the streets to demand that the Police be defunded, something that the Conservative Government was already doing. #GrahamLinehan #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

#Transgender and #LGBTQ flags used to be waved by #DefundThePolice. Yet those are now the flags of the people who can order that anyone who had not curtsied deeply enough to them be arrested by *armed* #Police Officers.

In the four years between my first and my second spells in prison, one of the most striking changes was that between 60 and 80 per cent of men inside were now there for looking at a woman the wrong way, if we had looked at her at all. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

I met a man whose ex-wife had turned up at his house with the #Police, placing him in breach of his restraining order as soon as she set foot on his doorstep. Not an isolated incident. The prisons are at breaking point primarily because of this. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

One-trick ponies end up in the knacker's yard. In Britain, perhaps especially #England, male heterosexual transvestism is positively venerable, and male homosexual transvestism will always have a market, so it is back to panto for both of them. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

One-trick ponies end up in the knacker's yard. Gender-critical feminists have burned their bridges, yet either their views on most or all other subjects would be unacceptable to their newer employers, or they were never really left-wing at all. #Newsnight davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/korea-…

#AngelaRayner would have been gone 12 hours ago if #KemiBadenoch had been any good. But #Rayner must know that she is toast. This is just embarrassing now. Get on with it. #Newsnight #r4today #Badenoch #Starmer #KeirStarmer #PMQs davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/09/stamp-…
