@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters

A nice demonstration of two things: 1) De-funding the police is bad, actually, and results in more crime, disproportionately harming the poor. 2) Short-term cost-saving exercises often end up resulting in negative impacts that cost far more to fix than they initially saved.

This is not only untrue, it dishonors the memory of what happened 90 years ago. How much longer will Western leaders stand by this kind of rhetoric?
What happened to conservatives? They used to be all about conserving. They used to protect institutions and traditions – but in many countries, they're now attempting to overthrow and destroy them instead. Full conversation with @ianbremmer available on bit.ly/BremmerYNH
The over-riding need is for an arms-length body, a BR 2.0, to take over running of the network from DfT, a government department should not be micro-managing a railway. And it probably needs to be more command/control than mere guiding mind.
I think it's a tough call to claim privatisation didn't boost ridership. Sure, it increased costs and it might have increased fragmentation in certain areas too, but I'm dead sure it boosted passenger numbers. Here's why 👇🧵

It’s time to end this failed privatisation experiment. Under Labour, Britain’s railways will be owned by the public, and run for the public 🌹

'I've got my lines!' After answering, 'I don't know', to a caller's question on voter IDs, Shadow Minister Darren Jones receives a text from Labour to clarify the party's position.
ConservativeHome has published an article spelling out that not only are there no economic benefits of Brexit, there never were going to be any. It's about as incongruous as witnessing a vegan magazine singing the merits of steak and bacon. How the tide has turned!
Andy Street retains the support of 77% of those who voted for him in 2021. By comparison, only 56% of Andy Street's voters in 2021 say they would vote for the Conservative Party in a General Election.

@CharlotteCGill @theJeremyVine Some of these are annoying, yes, but have you ever crossed a pedestrian crossing when the light was on red? We’re probably all guilty of small transgressions but we really need to get along, rather than this trend of filming (on both sides) and it’s just raising aggressions.
@BBCNews The violent bigots disgustingly tarnish the English flag, the millions of decent and kind English people cannot let them have a monopoly on it.
@guardian Good. Glad the govt were defeated on this. They are trying to silence all forms of protest!
@angusproud @cjmckeon @PA The humble PM we need 🙏. Hopefully one thats elected this time…
@angusproud @BBCNews difference is @RishiSunak's "medical. professionals" will have a target to force as many people back to work regardless of if those people are actually fit for work or not. Just like the current pip assessors they will say you are fit for work if you are comatose but breathing
@PippaCrerar @BenQuinn75 @Moreincommon_ Needs to be careful making it about St George’s cross. I know the flag issue is mostly an England thing, but he risks giving impression that Labour have the same attitude towards the devolved nations as the Tories do.
@angusproud 24 points lost from winning positions tells the story, really.
@angusproud @RedfieldWilton In 2021 Street pulled in 10% more votes than the Conservative candidate for the PCC which was held on same day and has the same boundary.
@petermorris1878 @angusproud @ProfBrianCox No. I thought that was bad. But, on balance, I still believed Brexit was preferable. A massive decision like that is not uniformly good or bad.
@ProfBrianCox Jacob always knew what he was voting for: a chance to reduce regulation and increase both risk to the UK public, increased poverty, worse food quality, worse health in the public, etc... He just doesn't care, because he sees himself as not one of us. He's rich, he doesn't work 1/
@KarlErik_Martin @simongerman600 Yes, everyone but you is wrong. Worth bearing in mind that everyone else on that chart thinks the same as you do. I wonder which one is the one true one and how I would know.
@simongerman600 Usually the term Central is used only to refer to the West vs East division of Europe. Using it for the North-South division as well is highly confusing.
@angusproud @MichaelTakeMP @bbc5live @NickyAACampbell Angus, it’s a spoof account
@GoodwinMJ Not a very market friendly premise… more of an argentine protectionist peronist “living with what we produce” policy that brought that country to its knees… is that what they want? Because if it is and the British want to go full peronist it would be good to be clear about it
