Civil society, not civil war. Do please repost, #Elon
Liverpool, Walthamstow, Oxford, Bristol - beautiful scenes from up and down the country of communities coming together in the face of hatred this evening. THIS is who we are, THIS is what we should be striving for.

An incisive and powerful piece by @DavidOlusoga “While there were horrific attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, most of those targeted by the rioters were British citizens: members of communities with histories that go back three generations or more…”

What a blisteringly sharp analysis from @DavidOlusoga, who calls out the riots for exactly what they were - violent racism, fomented by populism. Please read his superb piece 🔥 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

🆕 NHS England figures published today show that the cardiac waiting list has risen to a record high for the 8th month in a row, standing at 426,460. This is an increase of over 5000 on the previous month 💔 40% of people on the cardiac waiting list are waiting longer than the maximum target treatment time of 18 weeks. We're calling on the new Govt to take urgent action - this is essential to prevent more avoidable loss of life📢 bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-f…

Even The daily Mail has called it what it is… out of everything that went on today - this headline just stokes division even further! Disgusting! Irresponsible! Insighting violence! #farrightmedia #farrightriots

Teachers are getting a well-deserved pay rise. The Conservatives left the profession overstretched and undervalued. We said we’d change that, and we meant it.

Time to let a proper government sort out the mess you left. Conservatives failed our forces for 14 yrs, with the Army at its smallest size since Napoleon, a recruitment crisis, morale at record lows, and over £15 billion wasted in bad defence procurement. #defence #StarmerIsPM

Ms Haq showed me there was no ceiling on what I or my friends could achieve. She set high standards and saw no reason we should not meet them. This is the difference great teachers make. That's why we start now fixing the recruitment & retention crisis. schoolsweek.co.uk/education-…

@RishiSunak says he is hurt & angry at @reformparty_uk activist using racist language. How did he think I felt when his top donor Frank Hester said I “made him want to hate all Black women' and I should be shot?
"It hurts and makes me angry." Rishi Sunak responds to Channel 4 News undercover investigation within the Reform UK campaign in Clacton, exposing examples of racist language including against Sunak himself. A warning this clip contains offensive and racist language.

"Why are they still your candidates?" After being asked several times, @Nigel_Farage directly lied saying "they're not. In most cases they gave been disowned" Untrue of Leslie Lilley in Southend. Untrue of Oakenfell in Derbyshire Dales & the Barnsley case & all BBCQT examples

“I’m sat here baffled that you can talk about serious youth violence as if your party isn’t responsible for services stripped to their bones. At best your Party’s been incompetent, at worst negligent & you are directly responsible for the increase in loss of life” #bbcqt

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

There’s a fundamental difference between those who see politics as a game and those who understand it as a meaningful way to change people’s lives. If you need any help discerning which individuals fall into the former category, take note of who is LITERALLY GAMBLING on events.

An awful performance from her.
Replying to @edwinhayward
Penny Mordaunt looks really uncomfortable here. The Tories have a problem, because they were the ones with the dog whistle. But now that Farage has snatched it away, they have to distance themselves from him.

Penny Mordaunt is sinking in this 7-way debate as fast as Sunak. Those sniggers in the background are form Badenoch, Jenrick & Braverman.
