‘Lee Anderson feedback reveals Nasty Party is again – even Tories are sickened’
The Nasty Party is again. Nothing reveals that extra clearly than within the bile spouted by loudmouth Tory Lee Anderson.
His baseless allegations towards London Mayor Sadiq Khan have been racist, Islamophobic and defamatory. They serve solely to pour gasoline on the fireplace of anti-Muslim hatred. Former PM Theresa May, whereas in opposition, branded the Tories the Nasty Party. It is even more true immediately as they head for opposition once more.
Anderson might have prevented being stripped of the whip by apologising for his vile feedback. His refusal to take action proves this was no mere slip of the tongue. But he isn’t alone in taking part in the race card because the Tories stoop ever decrease. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman made a equally ludicrous declare final week about Keir Starmer being “in hock to the Islamists”.
And Liz Truss was disgracefully silent in a US interview when far-right rabble-rouser Tommy Robinson was hailed as a hero. Tory peer Gavin Barwell described Anderson’s feedback as a “despicable slur.” But he’s now not No10 chief of workers. Sajid Javid mentioned Anderson was peddling “ridiculous” nonsense. But he’s now not within the Cabinet.
Moderate Tory MPs are deserting in droves, unable to abdomen the effluent flowing from occasion right-wingers now holding Rishi Sunak hostage. This is just too harmful to dismiss as determined election rubbish when the conflict in Gaza means feelings are excessive and group tensions are at breaking level.
Anti-Muslim hate crime has tripled for the reason that Hamas bloodbath on October 7 final 12 months. Anti-Semitic incidents are up sixfold. The mayor is true. This nation is smouldering and incendiary language might set it alight. If the “nasties” keep within the Tory driving seat, the Conservatives need to be worn out by the great and respectable voters of this nation.
Stand by ally
Ukraine is coming into its third 12 months of bitter and bloody conflict with no signal of an finish. Britain has already given £7billion in help and we should not let up on that both. There is a serial killer on the unfastened within the Kremlin and opposition chief Alexei Navalny was his newest sufferer in an extended line.
Vladimir Putin is not only a cold-hearted assassin however one so brazen he leaves calling playing cards on his crimes so the world is aware of he’s accountable – polonium for Alexander Litvinenko, Novichok for the Skripals and Dawn Sturgess. There is not any appeasing such a person, which is why we should stand by Ukraine for so long as it takes to defeat him.
Choc and legislation
Supermarkets are fixing safety tags to chocolate Easter eggs to discourage thieves out to steal them by the dozen to promote them on. It seems like a critical crackdown.
