You said much the same thing back in 2014, Yvette. Who was the Director of Public Prosecutions that "let women down" then? He was then given an advisory role in the Labour Party re domestic & sexual violence? He was then gifted a safe Labour seat? Your boy, Starmer. Awkward, eh🤔
Violence against women & girls is an epidemic - too many women have been badly let down for too long
Time for change. This is a mission for Labour; overhauling police & criminal justice response, new standards, specialists & support, prevention in schools
It closed up, as predicted, because the entire world stopped using CFCs in sprays and refrigerators etc by 1995. The scientists that worked on it were awarded the Nobel prize in Chemistry. I hope this helps, Malcolm.
Jess Phillips is "heartbroken" at the results suggested by the exit poll - despite effectively campaigning against her own party for the last 3+ years.
Being lectured by Piers about journalism is like being lectured by a man who built a career editing the Sun's 'Bizarre' page - writing a column titled 'The Poofters of Pop', who hacked Nigel Haver's phone as he nursed his dying wife, and who was sacked for lying about war crimes

would consider taking a period of Paternity Leave. When he was a journalist (Snort, Guffaw, Snort) he wasn't particularly supportive of the idea, or complementary towards individuals who took it.
No, I don't know anyone that is paid £300k a year (salary, expenses, book deal) that employs their lift engineer husband as their office manager on £50k, that writes for various Murdoch titles, or that has a 2nd home in the Dordogne - inherited from an NHS Chief Executive parent
Nigel 'Fatty' Lawson in the mud? Now touted as "Britain's greatest post-war Chancellor" by folk who's knowledge of him would fit on a stamp. When I was a lad he was the fella who spunked all our oil money on tax breaks for rich bastards & ran an economy that led to 5m unemployed

The irony of the greedy rat Bobby Gillespie demoting equal Primal Scream band members to the position of 'employed session musicians' when that is what he essentially was on 'Screamadelica' - which was an Andrew Weatherall album which Primal Scream played on & put their name to.
I present the faux-left. Voted to keep expenses claims secret & claimed for four beds in a one bed flat. Employs partner as her assistant on £40k a year - meaning being an MP is the family business. Parachuted & failed in several seats & a lobbyist for private water companies
Always nice to hear from landlord Eddie Marsan about social housing. He manages his property portfolio through his company - Laughing Water Properties Ltd.

"If nothing is eventually found, I - as a supporter of the war - will never believe another thing that I am told by our government, or that of the US ever again."
The Labour MPs demanding that no action be taken against Margaret Hodge for effing & blinding in someones face are the same folk that demanded action be taken against John McDonnell for calling the plotters "fucking useless".
Yesterday, I read that "free" school meals was dangerous, dishonest, & a distortion of the truth, as nothing is "free". This outrage, apparently, doesn't apply to "free" pictures of King Ears, his sausage fingers, & his silly boys 'Admiral of the Fleet' costume!

Lovely to see Rod Liddle A.K.A ‘Human Detritus’ on the panel.
A revolting, sneering, whisky soaked, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, bastard-signalling Sun columnist – best known for battering his 20 week pregnant partner. Fuck Rod Liddle and the horse he rode in on.
Er, didn't you come under fire during your time on the Oxford University Conservative Association committee (1987) for organizing fundraising dinners for Nicaraguan Contra terrorists AND for the Unification Church (Moonie Cult)???
If

thinks terrorism is justified for the causes he believes in, how would he as Prime Minister have the moral authority to condemn terrorist murders of British citizens? Unbelievable and shocking

Er, it's a million miles from GBH, you plonker. He was clearly threatened and violence appeared imminent, so he gave one clear blow and stepped back. It was reasonable, proportionate, and it effectively ended the threat to him and the others. Job done!

I have just seen somebody tweet the following

Can you confirm whether you did say that, or not?
Thanks
If you think that opposing the death penalty means that you support the individual sentenced to death or somehow approve of their crime, then you are likely to be too fucking stupid to have a debate with.
Tommy Robinson hasn't exposed any grooming gangs.
He uses already exposed gangs to boost his own profile.
Then turns up at court to protest against people who are already in custody, behaves like a bellend - risking the cases actually being dismissed! He's a dolt & a fraud!
For decades your ilk despised football & football fans, labelled them as animals. You've only been arsed since working class folk have been priced out of going to the match. Replaced by the prawn butty brigade & chinless corporate wankers that take the tickets but never turn up

Jess Phillips will be fine though. She'll retain her seat & keep her lift engineer husband on as her £50k a year office manager. Being an MP is the family business eh? The upkeep of the holiday home in the Dordogne that she inherited doesn't pay for itself...
Not surprised to hear about James Whale.
He's cut from the same cloth as Kelvin Mackenzie, Nick Ferrari, Gary Bushell, Richard Littlejohn and Rod Liddle.
Horrible, reactionary, contemptible human detritus, to a man.
Masquerading as journalists and stealing a living.
Yes, this started with Pablo Escobar. Dealers/Traffickers became SO sick of cash they started demanding food parcels in exchange for drugs. They were over the moon when receiving tins of Del Monte pear slices in syrup & Fray Bentos pies, in exchange for Columbian marching powder.

I know in my constituency that, as tiny as a minority it might be, food parcels are sold or traded for drugs.
Hamas & Hezbollah are both actual political parties (like them or not)
He didn't meet the IRA, he met with Sinn Fein - an actual political party.
Chuka Umunna isn't part of a political party. He represents a private limited company incorporated & owned by Gavin Shuker MP.
Time to stop referring to the Somme as a battle
'Battle' gives it a false respectability
It was the ruling class sending a procession of working-class people (on a genocidal scale) into an inescapable hell on earth & certain death, knowing that there could be No victory.
Interesting that the media class are all claiming Boris's victory was huge, decisive, big mandate on 66% of party members, yet Corbyn polling at 65% amongst party members (as he has for last three years) is a "Collapse of grass roots support"
Londonistan' is the same, not so thinly veiled, racist filth as when scumbags referred to New York as "Jew York" for much of the 20th century - due to a rising Jewish population.

Just a reminder that Boris Johnson is not just the Prime Minister of our country (even if you didn’t vote for him), he is also a father, a father to be, a fiancé and someone with family and friends. He’s a fellow human being and he is desperately ill. Just try to remember that.

He sneers, but he was a cheerleader for the biggest conspiracy theory of the last 20yrs - That Iraq needed regime change cuz they had WMDs. It was a conspiracy; a lie to manufacture consent for war. Aaronovitch & his lumpencommentariat Chums were key purveyors of Blair's porkies
I wonder how many people with "Free Market Capitalism" in their bio have told their employers that do not want any part of the government's furlough scheme? - "No boss, I don't want a state bailout. Companies come and go. It's the market. The free market".
