Spotted at former Labour councillor Ricky Jones’ “cut all their throats” speech on Wednesday was a woman ironically sporting an Amnesty shirt. As Jones has been charged by the police for “encouraging violent disorder”, one co-conspirator thought to contact Amnesty International on the concerning nature of a member cheering on Jones…
The charity that describes its mission as “exposing human rights abuses” responded in somewhat of a ‘nothing to see here’ way, claiming that the Amnesty activist in the video was “distracted and hadn’t heard the speaker’s comments when they applauded generally with the crowd.” Despite the fact Jones had a megaphone and was standing right next to her…

As Rachel Reeves announced the government would be removing the winter fuel payment upsetting millions of pensioners, a measure punishing owners of traditional holiday lets in rural and coastal communities slipped by without as much notice. The abolition of the furnished holiday lettings tax regime was first announced by Jeremy Hunt in the pre-election budget – he claimed it was being abused by ultra-wealthy second home owners. But the plans were blasted by the operators of modest businesses and other small business lets, which are the bedrock of the UK staycation industry…
Now Labour has confirmed plans will still go ahead and HMT expects to raise £245 million a year in revenue from the change. Labour’s revival of the policy will surprise nobody – except those who thought they might offer a different set of fiscal policies to the Conservatives. Perhaps the Tories should focus on finding a new leader who believes in cutting tax, rather than just giving Labour a free pass to remove tax-breaks…
The newly elected Labour MP Lauren Edwards has deactivated her X account after her apology post for her questionable tweets went viral. She has Elon Musk to thank for that one…
Edwards didn’t just use Twitter to write some eyebrow-raising posts back in the day. Here are a few from her old Facebook page, one of which likens Brown-era Liam Byrne to Stasi head Erich Miekle:
Will her Facebook profile be the next to go?

Disgraced presenter Huw Edwards has been asked by the BBC to pay back the salary he earned after his arrest in November – the princely sum of over £200,000. The letter from the BBC Chair states Edwards had “behaved in bad faith”. To say the least…
A reminder: BBC boss Tim Davie did know of Huw’s arrest in November over having Category A images of children, though continued to pay him till his resignation in April. Still, the question remains: Will the BBC cut his taxpayer-funded £300,000 pension?
The socialist Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo told her endless critics to all “f**k” off in an interview with Le Monde earlier this week, sparking fury over the supposed champion of love and unity’s highly undiplomatic comments. Hidalgo has been under fire for her endless green policies that hit Parisian taxpayers’ wallets and woke agenda. The Olympics opening ceremony mocking the Last Supper along with controversy over boxers with XY chromosomes competing in fights hasn’t helped her popularity either. Her not-very-woke response to the critics:
“F**k reactionaries, f**k the extreme Right, f**k all those who want to shut us in a war of everyone against everyone.”
A classic example of a socialist politician. Where there is criticism, shut it down…
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
