I met Simon Danczuk, when working on a RSA NGO human rights film project, part of DFID /FCO mtgs. Alongside Shaun Bailey, the most ignorant UK politician I've met. His ignorance &huge ego, interest in press coverage for him what I remember about him. Turns out he was a racist.

One reason Labour are quiet on anti-Semitism is because it plays strongly in the Asian Muslim vote, just like they wouldn't be critical of the grooming perpetrators. It's all about votes. These are facts.

Tory corruption. Developer EcoWorld paid Boris Johnson’s aide Edward Lister £480,000.. while he was chairman of Homes England, Gov't body that funds affordable housing projects, just 7 per cent of EcoWorld’s UK properties were classified as affordable.

BBC lost plot here &newsnight platforming white supremacists Gen ID on day of killings. Blaming the victims, next week, will be back to promoting Melanie Philips, Doug Murray, ignoring Tory Islamophobia. As Laura Kuenssberg said, Islamophobia not that important. #Islamophobia

The scale of murder of innocent civilians, justified by Orwellian doublespeak propaganda, worse than apartheid South Africa. Could campaign against South African army killing innocent civilians ie, Soweto, not worry about being called racist. Palestine lives matter. #Palestine

I have met Khalid, a crass, inarticulate, in it for himself, expenses abusing, moonlighting for far right think tanks, also doing photo opps with Corbyn grifter. As a British Pakistani, I am embarrassed that a half wit like him could end up as a Labour MP

Well this will dominate election now, rightly so. Almost 5,500 patients died over past three years because they spent so long on a trolley in an A&E unit waiting for a bed in overcrowded hospitals, study by leading NHS doctors found. #GE2019 #GetJohnsonOut

You accused Muslims &Hindus of turning Britain into a crime ridden cesspool, said Christians make better Britains, so you could climb tory greasy racist pole. Yasmin's right to call out such awful bigotry / divisive sectarian politics that spreads hatred.

You supported the war in Iraq, told us Saddam Hussein had WMDs. Your judgement on foreign policy is no wiser then Donald Duck or Donald Trump. Your Etonian elocution , can't polish the Turd, that's your judgement on foreign Affairs.

Jeremy Corbyn is wrong. The tanker attacks are almost certainly the work of the IRGC Quds Force linked to attacks in Yemen and Syria. No one should minimise the threat to stability in the region and beyond.

The last thing Boris wants is so many young people, committed to anti racism turning up at Downing Street. We now have a Conservative prime minister so racist, he doesn't want the English football team to visit Downing St. #ToryRacism

I’m told that plans to have the England team to Downing Street for a reception this week have been shelved, with attention turning instead to the PM’s levelling up speech in a few days.

He should go to Libya to rebuild country he destroyed, by supporting Al Qaida groups, to look good as powerful international type. Avoid Manchester, where Salman Abedi, whose family, linked to Libyan terrorist groups Cameron supported, murdered 22 people.

Just so wrong on so many levels 'A Tory source told. a case of "youthful exuberance",despite fact she was nearly 30.' Be interested in her launching any attacks on labour re integrity and decency in politics given her CV. Complete lack of awareness of law

I read this when published 20 years ago. It's lost non of its power to shock at the injustices done to the Palestinians. Still essential reading, I suggest people share it widely. 'Israel a nuclear power abusing a people without any armour..' Edward Said.

Journalists always say it's the cover up, not the crime that politicians get caught out for. So what do journalists do when politicians don't bother with a cover up, they just admit the crime, the corruption and say so what of it. Where does that leave us?

How is Iran threatening Britain? Evidence? I know you're running in a Tory leadership race so desperate / say anything, but let's not go to war again on a lie, like we did in Iraq. What you hoping to achieve? Dinner invitation from Donald Trump? #Iran #corbyn

Why is Jeremy Corbyn never on the side of the country he seeks to lead? Time and time again - be it the provenance of Novichok, or the banning of Hizbollah - he gives the benefit of the doubt to those who threaten our national security

Jeremy Bowen has a well deserved reputation for fair reporting without fear or favour. There's a history here, in his book Six Days, The 1967 War, which I recommend,he detailed large scale human rights abuses of Palestinians by Israeli army. He is often attacked on social media.

At what point does the BBC admit some of its senior reporters are so ridiculously beyond impartial that it’s lost it’s credibility in rational and mainstream opinion.
