@RobertJenrick @RobKenyonReform You helped to break it. Does anyone really think Robert Jenrick has any credibility?

@SuellaBraverman Chalk up another loss. Thankfully the good people of Makerfield will reject your toxic and divisive form of politics.

@policylaila She will be really shocked when she finds out just how much personal information and data the social media sites already hold on her then… 🙄

It means employers have to pay women the same as men and that people are protected for speaking up about unfair treatment. The Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal to treat you unfairly because of your religion or race. This really is an act that protects every single one of us.

This means that you cannot be fired for being old, or be sacked for getting pregnant. It means you cannot be bullied for your sexuality, and it means that if you have a disability you have the legal right to reasonable adjustments to enable you to work.

Racist framing doesn’t change the fact that they are coming for worker’s rights. This affects every single one of us. The Equality Act protects against discrimination on the basis of: Age Disability Sex Race Religion Belief Sexual orientation Gender Pregnancy Maternity Marriage

The Equality Act has poisoned our country with anti-White discrimination. Reform will return Britain to a meritocracy.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved. B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

@BohemiaStable @RuaTrindade I think it has some merit, in that the emphasis in breeding has certainly switched to speed over stamina, although I would be concerned about the long term implications. I was not a fan of the change to the Prix du Jockey Club, but clearly that has worked well for them.

@wayward_lad @netmnp @McGracing Yes, that’s exactly my point: it’s a societal issue that racing is facing. Whether it’s on a Wednesday or Saturday is largely irrelevant now. The real question is what racing is doing to promote itself effectively and attract new / younger audiences.

Ten years ago today Farage unveiled his racist "Breaking Point" poster. Within hours a far-right sympathiser murdered the MP Jo Cox. Instead of apologising, Farage went on to verbally attack her husband. Farage has always been scum. Never Vote Reform.

@netmnp @McGracing It actually increased for the first ten years on a Saturday. The decline came much later. This was the hill in 2011, fifteen years after the switch:

@LeilaniDowding So let me get this right: For Gorton & Denton the message was: “Vote Reform, Get Starmer Out!” For Makerfield the message is: “Vote Reform, Keep Starmer In!” Make it make sense… 🤪

@BenStarSports The reason for playing bigger is twofold: a) the form is more likely to stand up, and b) horses are all running on their merits. These are of course interlinked, but the bottom line is Cheltenham and Royal Ascot are the targets, not the stepping stones.

@DarranPearce @RuaTrindade Jockey and trainers shouldn’t get paid by betting organisations. Full stop. It’s an awful look. Conflicts of interest in sport are as much about the potential for *perceived* bias as actual bias. As such it does nothing for the integrity of the game. Especially after Epsom.

Always has been a runner, and always should be a runner. Two or three in the last race were probably inconvenienced more by a stumbling rival, creating a domino effect. That’s racing though, and should continue to be forever and a day...

@stevenctilley @JamesCleverly See my previous thread on the subject. Laws already exist for criminal damage and GBH. They were rightly convicted on that basis, but the sentencing was disproportionate and did not reflect those offences.

So many aspects wrong with this conviction, not least that sentences are on the basis of terrorism, rather than criminal damage, when the organisation was not proscribed as such at the time of the incident. GBH is another matter entirely, but the others have been harshly treated.
