It is alleged that on 29 July, the day of the Southport knife killings, she posted on X saying: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the bas***** for all I care… If that makes me racist, so be it.”
Wanting to burn migrants does in-fact make you racist
The British order of knighthood most frequently conferred on prime ministers has been the Order of the Garter, of which 30 male prime ministers (beginning with Sir Robert Walpole and later including Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Anthony Eden) have been Knights Companion (KG), and the first female, Margaret Thatcher, a Lady Companion (LG) of the Order. Nine prime ministers, including Thatcher, received it after serving office. Currently, the only living knights among them are Sir John Major, knighted in 2005, and Sir Tony Blair, knighted in the 2022 New Year Honours. The only prime minister to have received a British gallantry award was Anthony Eden, who won the Military Cross (MC) while serving in the army in the First World War, before entering parliament.[6][7]
There’s also lists of peerages that PMs have gotten, with loads of fun titles
A Labour insider confirmed to The Telegraph that it was now “dead”, saying: “If Rishi Sunak thought Rwanda would work, he wouldn’t have called an election. It was a con. By calling an election, Sunak was acknowledging that fact.”
Still better than Boris, I can’t imagine he was productive on Friday nights with all the COVID parties going on.
Job prospects must’ve dried up
I always thought Brexit meant Breakfast
Decrying cancellation on the front of a newspaper.
Mr Farage also spoke with shoppers and while standing by a market stall selling eggs, joked that after being covered in a milkshake last week he did not want eggs to be the next thing thrown at him.
Someone ready the eggs
American here (who’s a fanatical lover of HIGNFY and British politics); lemme take a crack at it. Please correct me where I misspeak, Brits!
Diane Abbott has had to deal with scandals for much of her whole time in power, many of which have come from her saying dumb shit, like Mao did more good than harm. Now, as the first Black MP, one could argue that these were outsized scandals, blown up by the British rags, but still.
The most recent scandal came when she lost the Labour whip job for saying Jews experience prejudice, not racism. That scandal ran up until the general election was called last week, where it was unclear if she’d be selected to run again in her seat. She adamantly wanted to (and seems like she will stand), and party leadership was very indirect about if they’d let her, despite the whip being restored.
It looks like she’ll be running again now, but it’s just been so messy on the Labour side, and really hasn’t made Keir or his party leadership look great. In an election where Rishi and the Tory’s are self-destructing, it should be an easy Labour win if they don’t keep fighting with themselves.
Certainly this must be caused by the UK economy whirring into motion /s
It’d be poetic if post-Brexit queue jumping led to another arrest.
