What could better represent conman Donald Trump than a fake photo of a fake President surrounded by fake people? https://twitter.com/EricTrump/status/1643312911941509121

@UKLabour Litter picking? Must be local election time.
When are the posts on potholes due to kick in?
While kids go hungry and the elderly die of hypothermia Labour campaigns on rubbish (literally and figuratively). #StarmerOut
So glad to have the great @Popehat writing on the Trump indictment for @RollingStone https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/alvin-bragg-trump-case-still-mystery-1234709858/
@Popehat Great to see this part: "As a rule, crimes mostly committed by rich people have daunting intent requirements, crimes mostly committed by poor people are easy to prove."
I imagine you're getting tired of saying it, but I appreciate you mentioning it every time. It's such a subtle stacking of the deck and it took me a while to appreciate how important it was, especially with chaos fountains like Trump.

Only 1% of rapes go to trial, this is because of massive cuts to the judiciary service.
The Tory party have effectively decriminalised rape - but have now criminalised peaceful protest.
99% of rape accusations - do not go to a court trial!

@Keir_Starmer @labourwhips Instead of treating symptoms why not treat the cause?
Child poverty, poor education standards due to underfunding, lack of youth services including MH services, low wages and gig economy.
No more hobby bobbies, train, retrain and properly vet police officers.
That alleged muslim exploitation gangs thing comes from a report on the now defunct site called something like quillam - it was debunked years and years ago. Suddenly the tories are doubling down on it, I wonder if one of the quillam loonies has got the ear of a minister?
Quilliam were seriously deranged, no-one with any sense took them seriously. When serious academics questioned their methods they didn't engage, just started name calling.
It's British style MAGA + anti-muslim b.s. thrown in.
Fund youth services, particularly mental health, and stop with the youth hate.

Antisocial behaviour ruins lives. Yet the Tories are letting it run rife.
There is a choice this May.
Labour will put 13,000 neighbourhood police and PCSOs back on our street.
Labour is the party of law and order.
