"We don't need a criminal investigation."

YES WE DO @Keir_Starmer. Fuck sake, you have one shot at this.

#downingstreetparty

Here's a story that isn't being reported because we're too busy talking about a party last December.

The Third-Country Asylum Partnership will see Asylum Seekers in the UK flown to overseas processing hubs.

Costly, inhumane and against international law.
3/ For clarity, Keir Starmer did ask Boris Johnson at PMQs if he'd give Police everything Downing Street have on the #downingstreetparty should there be a criminal investigation.

Johnson said he would.

I do reckon the backlash from his comments this morning changed hos position
Now it turns out ITV had the Allegra Stratton Video For "Several Weeks".

The Westminster bubble cannot be burst easily...

2/ MORE.

Discussions are ongoing with Angolan officials to explore the possibility of Asylum Seekers from the UK being 'hosted' in the South West African country. This is after Albania declined the UK proposal to house our asylum seekers.

Some Islamophobic prick has edited @NazShahBfd's Wikipedia.

This is what Muslims in public life deal with, especially female Muslim MPs.
This is horrific @Wikipedia. Never mind the vandalism on Naz Shah and John McDonnell by this person, look what they put on the 2017 Finsbury Park Attack page.

How on earth can Islamophobia like this get through so easily? Image

His did that go in 2017 & 2019? People are too tribal, tactical voting doesn't work. Unless we get proportional representation, we are doomed to the status quo of a government who doesn't represent the majority of voters.

Not being Tory shouldn't be your reason to back someone.
2/ For example, why should I have to vote or advocate for Labour, when the party's treatment of Muslims like myself is appalling?

It is truly grim being a Muslim in or for Labour. Our complaints are ignored and the party gaslights us to the media.

My vote is owed to anyone.
3/ It's also pretty unfair to expect people to vote for a candidate they don't agree with. Why should a Green or Lib Dem supporter vote Labour and vice versa. Having more parties should be a good thing, but our system means Red or Blue.

Children may be taught the horrors of war, but when poppy season arrives, war adults glamorise it.

Veterans are pushed onto a pedestal they don't want. Emblazoning everything with a poppy doesn't help us either.

Our dead friends are used to divert from the horror & suffering.
.@joejglenton is right. Remembrance should be solemn like a funeral.

Selling Grenade themed Gin, having postbox cozy competitions & building a tacky military scene in your mum's garden ain't it.

STOP making it a commercial or PR event.

Wear a standard poppy & stop there.
And nobody talks about the horrors of modern war British troops have faced.

Seeing your best mate vaporised and then having to collect their remains was the same in 2007 as in 1914.

Veterans don't tend to want reminding of war everywhere they go. We aren't yours to co-opt.
