Until very recently, this dangerous woman was working in the NHS. She’s been suspended for antisemitism. Antisemitism is extremism.

Imagine wanting to rejoin this shite.
A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸

Sorry. It’s pig-ugly.
Jaguar is hoping the Type 01 – finally revealed in its production form – is the car to transform its fortunes. @evosamj takes a first look.

This is economic illiteracy of a high order.
After separation Scotland would still use sterling. So it would have to borrow in £s to cover its massive budget deficit and promise lenders it would pay back in £s (or they won’t lend).
But after an unspecified transition it would move to a Scottish currency. But all the borrowing done during the transition would have to be paid back in sterling.
If the Scottish currency plummeted v sterling (likely given the size of the deficit, lack of credit track record etc) that could become an unmanageable burden given the likely poor exchange rate.
Scotland would have to borrow billions in its own currency just to convert to sterling to pay back lenders. Devaluing the Scottish currency further.
What a shambles that would be.
He has no idea what he’s talking about.

This you?
What does being “English” mean?
@SuellaBraverman sparked a debate about whether non-white people should be considered English.
I find the entire debate quite meaningless. There is a difference between your ethnic heritage and your nationality, but is it that important?

What’s a year amongst friends @PaulFosterMP 😐
PM Burnham is considering delaying a decision about when the government will increase defence spending until the autumn of next year in the hope that Britain’s economy improves. I’m sure Britain’s many enemies will give him the breathing space he requires to make up his mind. It’s not as if it’s a dangerous world.

An incredible honour for me to equal Peter Shilton’s appearance record for England. Every time I pull on this shirt I feel a huge sense of pride and there’s no better way to mark the occasion than with a win at Wembley - the perfect night.
Representing my country means everything to me. 125 down, many more to come.
Thank you for your incredible support. ❤️🏴
