At some point those concerned about £1500 possibly owed by Rayner are going to call in the police for the tens of thousands allegedly taken by Mark Menzies MP which the Tory Party hoped you wouldn’t know about!

'Did he fall asleep?'
'Yeah - he's a 78-year-old man... but it's potentially damaging.'

Jon Sopel explains to James O'Brien why Donald Trump 'dosing off in court' may affect his case, but notes it's unlikely he'll be face jail time as 'rich people don't go to prison in America'.

Angela Rayner buying and selling a council house is now the subject of a police investigation. But an independent inquiry has declared that a Tory mayor flogging £120m of development land to two mates for a ton is totally legit.

Tory MPs just voted to insist that Afghan interpreters who served British armed forces can be sent to Rwanda.

A scheme which costs £2m per asylum seeker. A £500m+ scheme for less than 1% of asylum seekers. Which now includes those who worked with our troops

Shameful & shambolic

15 signatures from xenophobic hate mongering wannabe fascists. Well done 👏🏾

Katharine Birbalsingh who decided to ban prayer at her school is also speaking at the NatC fascist conference in Brussels.

Is she a suitable person to even be allowed in a school? Never mind run one.

'The hounding of Angela Rayner is outrageous: brutal, snobbish and completely out of proportion to any mistake she may (or may not) have made. The sums are tiny & the issue has always been a matter of public confusion.' Matthew Parris.

'The “Get Rayner” media mood has been whipped up by party politicians, and the rest of us should have nothing to do with it. To me there’s more than a whiff both of misogyny and of class condescension...'

'Liz Truss seems to operate in a universe where she's never met Liz Truss.'

＠mrjamesob wonders how the former PM can say 'the power exercised in Britain by unelected people is a scandal' when she 'was unelected on a national level and nodded through by a hereditary monarch'.

Crucial thread. Our newspaper industry makes the mafia look respectable. Hugh Grant & his team have done incredible work highlighting the fact...

Looking forward to catching up with old friends and colleagues at tomorrow’s Housing Diversity Network Board Members conference in Leeds. My first trip to Leeds since stepping down as Chair from Unity Homes in October…

Just to be clear, Liz Truss lives in London. Love that she thinks the Daily Star is the paper of the London elite. She is absolutely top bantz and I say as we head for an election let's have more of her on the telly

It is a hard watch . So many moments I was floored . When Anwar Ditta cried “ look what you’ve done to my children.” When 10 year old Rubia stood beside the coffins of her friends; Parveen Khan’s children .

Balraj and Suresh as activists who still live in Southall do talk. But what about Alma Haque, and other contributors ? I have not wanted to be defined by these events, I have not wanted to pass the burden to the next generation. To revisit has been surprisingly triggering..

This too is British people’s history. #Defiance

The real question is not legal but political. To see a former home secretary standing proudly along right wing extremists shows the depths the Tory party has sunk and the leadership's total lack of interest in doing something about it.

STOP INTERVIEWING LIZ TRUSS. Speaking as an intergalactic space warrior with a bin for a head and a Ceefax fixation, she’s not a serious person.

Nick hits on something crucial to grasp here: repressive measures & violence - be they state or paramilitary, administrative or physical - are often unleashed & tested on minority groups before they are rolled out to the wider population. We stand or fall together. #Defiance

Rajesh Thind I remember a conversation on here with someone younger about a few of the beatings I took from white gangs as a kid. They were rather surprised.

Defiance is required viewing for youngsters

‘The most significant impact of #Defiance may be to begin new conversations across generations with those born later. I watched the first episode with my older teenagers. They found the visceral hatred shocking’ easterneye.biz/defiance-chann…
