NEW: The photographer who captured viral footage of violent Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam last year has said Keir Starmer is playing “a political game” by opposing a ban on Israeli supporters attending an Aston Villa match next month.

Yup. Did the same a while back and since then each time I’ve had a look at my timeline it’s full of musk, reform or some other right wing 🌰 💼

This is how the British media self-censors to meet the expectations of the English Establishment/British Government.

We're seeing it again over the banning of Israeli Maccabi thugs from Birmingham.

Sky News continuing to present an entirely misleading picture about what happened in Amsterdam

A reminder that last year a Sky report correctly identified Maccabi 'fans' attacking locals before it was withdrawn & re-released with the violence now ascribed to "hooded men" instead

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this?

We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Screenshot of an article headline which reads "Number of children living in temporary housing could 'fill both Wembley Stadium and Twickenham'
More than 172,000 children are now living in temporary housing across England, in what is described as a "humanitarian crisis"

I have yet to hear an argument for why the Labour British government won't compensate WASPI women.

Labour promised to, before being elected last year. But has now refused to honour that promise and is defending that refusal in court.

Labour Government 'waiting for Waspi generation to die to avoid compensation payout'

THE UK Labour Government has been accused of “waiting for the Waspi generation to die” to avoid paying out compensation.

Here's the footage from Amsterdam 2 years ago where Maccabi Tel Aviv fans armed themselves with steel bars from a construction site before going on a rampage, and then screaming antisemitism.

Thankfully we banned these thugs from the UK

I was in London last week passing developments which have two bedroom apartments selling for £3-£5million and I’d hate to imagine the cost of ‘affordable’ homes…

A Labour party now in full favour criticising experts stopping politically motivated football fan violence marauding our streets.
They want their financial backers given the right to force us to welcome hostile thugs into our places of sanctuary.
Labour: bereft of moral clarity and cheaply corrupted

I was on BBC Scotland's Debate Night last night, this week coming from Lockerbie.

Misinformation on immigration is not only dangerous, it ignores how migration helps our public services and society.

Like so much else, Westminster simply isn't working for Scotland.

Ian Murray on Maccabi fans being banned from attending a football match in the UK

These 'fans' ran rampage through a European capital last year chanting appalling racist abuse and attacking people. I guess Murray wants these thugs to be able to do the same in Birmingham.
