🚨 Tommy Robinson says he "could have come back and beat up" and "should have battered" the Daily Mail journalists who he was recently convicted of harassment causing fear of violence.
He is being sentenced on December 16th.
He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

Whatever happened to Prime Minister’s Questions?
Once upon a time... PMQs was an opportunity to demonstrate leadership...authority.. intelligence and the ability to think on your feet.
Now? It is becoming increasingly painful to watch.
A Prime Minister who appears to stumble over his words... struggle to deliver a coherent response and repeatedly leaves you wondering whether he actually knows what he wants to say.
The hesitation...the stuttering... the scripted soundbites and the endless political theatre. Where is the confidence?
Where is the conviction?
Where is the authority of a Prime Minister like @Keir_Starmer ?
PMQs should be about answering questions.. holding government to account and demonstrating that someone is firmly in control.
Instead..it increasingly resembles an uncomfortable performance...with more bluster than substance and more excuses than answers.
The country deserves better.
Parliament deserves better.
And frankly... the office of Prime Minister deserves better.
Leadership isn't just about sitting in the big chair. It's about having the ability... composure and conviction to lead.
And watching PMQs now...I can't help thinking just how much that is missing.
What an absolute shambles.
When @andyburnham cannot command the chamber... you have to wonder how he expects to command the country."
All utter complete waffle @UKLabour

🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

This is odd because I seem to remember amazing safety stats like this for Sadiq Khan in #London too.
Both muslim mayors and both succeeding.
It’s almost like those right wing twats were lying to everyone.

Is @andyburnham capable of governing or will he just keep relying on consultants, with whom there seems to be a few conflicts of interest. 🤨
I just listened to a very informative podcast.

Sorry Mick, The Conservatives put Britain in the mess *Keir Starmer* inherited.
Both he & Reeves spent 2 solid years tightening & tidying things up, which Burnham is the *beneficiary* of. Let’s not re-write history eh.

It was Starmer that inherited the mess, after he is coup Burnham took on a much improved situation.

Labour MPs who were promised the world by Burnham when they could help him get to power, now finally realising he’s nothing more than a charlatan.

All this fu*king fuss & sending the 10 Year Plan off to Boston and it sounds like it's already a duff.
What did we expect - the writing was on the wall BEFORE he was endorsed by the PLP.
He had no plan to get rid of 40 years of Neoliberalism - it was all just a slogan

A year ago.
Starmer’s team were right. Streeting lying through his teeth.
💥💥💥 BREAKING 💥💥💥
Keir Starmer's allies have accused Wes Streeting of plotting to oust him from office, warning that any attempt to do so would trigger a market shock — as supporters of Streeting go to war with No10.
The extraordinary developments in a series of furious briefings to media outlets tonight signal Downing Street is increasingly concerned the PM may face a leadership challenge. Cabinet unity has fractured, possibly to the point of no return between Starmer and Streeting.
A spokesperson for Streeting said: “These claims are categorically untrue. Wes’s focus has entirely been on cutting waiting lists for the first time in 15 years, recruiting 2,500 more GPs, and rebuilding the NHS that saved his life.”
A government source said: “Number Ten has gone into full bunker mode, turning on their most loyal cabinet members for absolutely no reason. Unfortunately there is a pattern of Keir's team briefing against his own people- they did it to Angela, Lisa, Lucy, now it's Wes's turn. A circular firing squad won’t help the government out of the hole we’re in."
But a supporter of Starmer says tonight that they conducted a recent exercise with investors where they were told that any alternative to Starmer and Rachel Reeves would result in a significant rise in gilt yields, meaning higher government borrowing costs.
That would be ruinous for the public finances and plunge the UK into an economic crisis, the person added, a clear indication that No10 is seriously concerned about a leadership plot.
