Today I took my parents for Afternoon Tea to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of them meeting; Christmas Eve, 1969. When people talk of how racist the UK is today, they tell me that it really isn’t. It’s immeasurably better than when they met. To me, they helped blaze the trail.

Down in London today with the Dukes collecting at Fenchurch Street Station for @PoppyLegion on London Poppy Day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Always amazing to see so many service personnel and veterans collecting across the capital. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously.

18 months ago Keir Starmer and 100+ Labour MPs signed a letter opposing the deportation of foreign national offenders, among whom was at least one convicted rapist. Perhaps some lobby journalists would like to challenge him on this hypocritical stance?

“As a soldier he will have been trained to escape captivity” The @dailymirror using an expert opinion on Daniel Khalife from @prisonsorguk Mark Leech that’s just completely made up. Who knew Royal Signals Phase 2 training now had an escape and evasion phase?

Suella Braverman seems to be doing her best to outflank Enoch Powell. It’s a poisonous attempt to drive a wedge between our communities and serve her own naked ambition. Now, more than ever, we should be seeking to unite, not divide.

RIP Nichelle Nichols, whose trailblazing portrayal of Lt Nyota Uhuru in Star Trek was a breakthrough for a black woman on TV in the 1960s. Her kiss with William Shatner was also the first interracial kiss on TV; from a personal perspective so hard to imagine it was once a taboo.

Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and the Labour Party all received donations from the backer of Just Stop Oil and Xtinction Rebellion. Do they expect people to believe that they oppose their tactics when they eagerly lap up the same money used to fund them?

The 10 hour antisemitic rant from Wiley is the most sustained racist attack seen on Twitter; hundreds of tweets, inciting race war, holocaust denial and, seen below, threats to shoot Jewish people. Disgusting that someone with his platform should be permitted to air these views.

In the 12 years @YvetteCooperMP has been on Twitter, yesterday was the first time she’d ever mentioned grooming gangs in a tweet, despite having been Shadow Home Secretary for four years followed by Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee for five in that time.

2. Ministers have known about serious problems w grooming, abuse, organised gangs & institutional failures for years Labour called for mandatory reporting a decade ago. Conservative Govt dragged its feet. Even now it’s more consultation but no timetable

It is horrific to think a life has been lost because Labour MPs, virtue-signalling celebrities and activist lawyers campaigned to keep a convicted criminal in the UK, who has now gone on to commit a brutal murder.

If @RachelReevesMP expects to convince a sceptical public that she should be Chancellor under a Labour Government she might want to start by proving she pays the necessary attention to detail to realise this bill adds up to £3,480, not £3,500.

Tory failure has left working people facing soaring bills. With a Labour Government we'd have ✅A proper windfall tax on oil and gas giants to fund a council tax freeze this year ✅Breakfast clubs for all primary school children ✅A clean energy sprint to keep energy bills low

The only people obsessed with the ethnicity of the Conservative leadership candidates and their stance on diversity and inclusion are left-wing journalists who believe that skin colour should be a defining aspect of someone’s political beliefs.

By indulging Just Stop Oil and not treating their protests robustly, we’ve now reached a stage where they feel emboldened enough to harass George Osborne at his wedding with impunity.

@alexvtunzelmann Comparing your own St Trinians style behaviour at fee-paying Brighton and Hove High School with the type of disruptive behaviour that may see you excluded and sent to a PRU in an inner-city school does somewhat highlight a lack of understanding.

The coverage of Nicola Bulley’s disappearance, particularly Sky News sending a half dozen presenters to report from the riverside, has been grotesque. For her family here to call out the unethical behaviour of their reporters directly is very troubling.

Great to hear that Shaun Bailey would drop Sadiq Khan’s pledge to implement a review of London’s statues, landmarks and place names. London is one of the world’s great cities; to rewrite its past by virtue-signalling and sowing division is unnecessary.

Incredible that Keir Starmer has gaslit the public, demanding Labour MPs don’t attend the pro-Palestine marches over the last four weekends, when all along those marches were organised by Ben Soffa, Labour’s Head of Digital Organising.

As Dele Alli ponders a move to Beşiktaş in the Turkish SüperLig, a league ranked 20th in the UEFA coefficient, let go by Everton 6 months after moving there on a free transfer, Jose Mourinho’s disappointed dad pep-talk in Spurs All-or-Nothing looks even more evergreen.
