It's really simple for voters in #BatleyAndSpen. If you vote Galloway you get another Tory ally for Narendra Modi's BJP in parliament. The guy exists to sow division – look at his Trump-supporting mates ?? pic.twitter.com/Dunj00XTK0

In order to get elected as Labour leader, Keir Starmer promised to introduce free social care.
Now one of his key Shadow Cabinet members has declared that it would be too expensive.

“Labour says calling for free social care would ‘just give Tories a stick to beat us with”.
You suspect he won’t be there come next GE, but one upside of Starmer staying is Debonnaire would lose her Bristol West seat.
Yes Fauci explicitly argued for this research in Wuhan. This is him writing in 2012:
"In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?
"Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky.
"Within the research community, many have expressed concern that important research progress could come to a halt just because of the fear that someone, somewhere, might attempt to replicate these experiments sloppily. This is a valid concern."
Yet he funded it.

Batley & Birstall News - Council bans Laurence Fox rally in Batley
Actor-turned-political activist Laurence Fox has been told he can’t hold a rally in Batley town centre.

Interestingly, that seat has gone from LD by 10k, to not even standing a LD candidate!
The university has created a list of words and idioms, including 'picnic' and 'rule of thumb,' which it claims are 'violent' and suggests dreary alternatives such as 'outdoor eating' for the former and 'general rule' for the latter

I don't know what happened, but I do hope this is the end of his career.
(I think the LDs stood down in something like 5 seats?)
Because my reading of his piece is the former, but you've written the latter.
(Uncannily similar looking woman)
And remember that Daszak personally emailed Fauci in April 2020, to thank him for "suppressing" the lab leak hypothesis

I, Doctor Anthony Fauci, am SCIENCE. Le Science, c'est MOI. Attacks on me are on attack on science!!!!!
Good grief

But, the flare-up in Israel/Palestine came at a perfect time for GG to exploit it. Now, I would not be at all surprised to see Labour lose it because of GG.
But the point is: B&S was a completely unnecessary by-election.
SKS may be forensic. But, he is just useless at politics, which needs a certain grubby street wisdom.
Labour’s position on Palestine
Kim Leadbetter is a lesbian
Sir Keir’s wife is Jewish
Cultural Diversity is to be applauded I suppose?
Pledging to make Labour “the party of law and order”, Starmer highlighted the blight of antisocial behaviour, such as off-road bikes and high-powered cars being raced through residential neighbourhoods.
“As chief prosecutor, I saw far too many examples of crimes perceived as ‘low-level’ not being tackled quickly enough before they escalate,” the Labour leader said. “People can end up afraid in their own homes, or scared to go out at night.”

Sounds like the Blair and Cameron playbook.
So Muslims will abandon Labour for a Gallowayish Muslim Party
And, in the end, many white people will vote for white pride and a White Party. It is already happening in the USA. We hurtle towards tragedy

Best wishes mate.
Watching ‘The Road to Partition’ the other night it struck me again that Muslims could well end up getting a part of the country the way Protestants got Northern Ireland, in 50-100 years time
It's as old as the hills, it's not dignified, and it may not work, but you have to admit, the boy Starmer is learning.
The question is, is that just a small minority, or a wider held view. And if it is, how do any of the major parties change their perception, can they change it?
That is why the Respect party failed, even in more divisive times like the Iraq and Afghan wars.

Politico.com - Wine, watermarks and a farmer’s nudge: How the infrastructure deal got done
The Senate’s centrist core is suddenly on a hot streak, winning White House buy-in for its nearly $1 trillion bipartisan plan.
". . .The Senate’s centrist core is suddenly on a hot streak, pushing forward the largest infrastructure proposal in U.S. history after helping clinch a $900 billion coronavirus package late last year. There’s still a chance their work goes down, but Thursday’s Biden endorsement set them apart from the failed array of congressional gangs that have tried in vain to make ambitious aisle-crossing laws." . . .

‘3 fat ladies…’
Fortunately, there is a list of Muslim share of population by seat, and there are only three constituencies where they more than 40% of the vote - Birmingham Hodge Hill, Bradford West and Birmingham Hall Green.
So, I'm not sure they can make it up to SNP levels of support. Or even LibDem or Green.

C'mon @isam, you are not as dumb as that.
What’s your spread on the 2021 Census Muslim %?
https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2021/06/24/rudy-giuliani-suspended-from-practicing-law-in-new-york
A New York appellate court Thursday barred Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to former President Donald Trump, from practicing law in New York because he made false claims about the 2020 election.
The state’s bar association first said in January that it would consider pushing for Giuliani to be disbarred after his statements helped fuel the violent mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with the aim of overturning the presidential election.
Giuliani called for a “trial by combat” that day, drawing rebuke from prominent lawyers who filed complaints with the state Supreme Court's Attorney Grievance Committee, who accused Giuliani of playing a “role in fomenting a violent insurrectionist attack” on the Capitol.
Lawyers for Giuliani criticized the decision. . . .
Trump, repeating false claims about the election, issued a statement defending Giuliani.
"Can you believe that New York wants to strip Rudy Giuliani, a great American Patriot, of his law license because he has been fighting what has already been proven to be a Fraudulent Election? The greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, the Eliot Ness of his generation, one of the greatest crime fighters our Country has ever known, and this is what the Radical Left does to him," Trump said in a statement. "All of New York is out of control, crime is at an all-time high-it's nothing but a Witch Hunt, and they should be ashamed of themselves. TAKE BACK AMERICA!"
The panel of judges wrote in its decision that “there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large” in defending Trump’s false claim that he won the 2020 election.
The panel said that Giuliani’s conduct “immediately threatens the public interest.”
The panel cited state rules of conduct for attorneys that bar lying to tribunals of judges and require that lawyers not “engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.”
The decision rejected Giuliani’s arguments that his statements were protected by constitutional guarantees of free speech, and his suggestion that he did not know his statements about the election were false when he made them. . . .
“Respondent argues that there was no misconduct because he truthfully told the court that day that there were no fraud claims,” the judges wrote. “This defense rings hollow.” . . .
Giuliani has denied wrongdoing, and has remained a fixture of conservative media. He made an appearance Tuesday evening at the victory party for Curtis Sliwa, the projected Republican nominee in this year’s mayoral race.
Giuliani has 20 days to request a hearing on the suspension.
Do we think Israel is going to be able to get many more people vaccinated or have they now hit their ceiling?
Woophs, looks like I have ruined a bet.
But I'm a bit surprised. The non-EU born % of the UK has only increased by 0.9% in the last decade from 8.1% to 9.0%. Even if you assume that half of these are Muslim, that would only add 0.45%.
Now, birth rates are probably higher in those communities, but even if you assume 4 children per mother, that can't possibly add more than 0.2%.
Here's the latest data from 2019:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/religion/adhocs/10999religionbysexandagegroupingreatbritain2018to2019
On these numbers, there are 1,565,485 Muslims in England out of a population 56 million - which works out as under 3%.
Edit to add.
OK. IGNORE THAT ANALYSIS!
IGNORE THIS
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/muslimpopulationintheuk/
1.5 million doesn't sound right at all. It was 2.5 million in 2011 census. It doesn't seem likely that it has gone down by 1 million in the 8 years between the 2011 and that 1.5 ONS figure.
Whatever it is, I hope he gets the care he needs and gets better soon.
Xx
I divided the number of Muslim women by the total English population.
OK.
Trying again.
There are 3.36m Muslims in Great Britain in 2019 on the ONS data, out of a population of 63.8m, giving a total percentage of 5.2%. UK numbers will be slightly lower, of course, because there are fewer Muslims in Northern Ireland, but I doubt it'll change the numbers more than a fraction.
You can do the maths yourself from the spreadsheet.
So, no, I won't sell at 4.9%.
I wouldn't be surprised in the census if it a reasonable amount north of 3.5m now.
Look at the total Christian to Muslim split and compare with the under 16 split
Something like 89-11 and 81-19
