The Mail on Sunday seems to think a person speaking five languages is something to smirk and titter about behind the back of your hand

- “Dozens of towns that bear the scars of Pakistani grooming gangs” writes Sam Bidwell in this long post There may indeed be “dozens”. Can Bidwell name 24+ British towns where grooming gangs operated and in every case justify it is accurate to label them as “Pakistani” gangs?You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts.

- Will the Home Secretary look at each of these Jewish protesters in the face and tell them, and us, that they are motivated by hate? 🙏You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts. Learn more
- 🚨 BREAKING: Two East London Labour Party chairs, Carel Buxton (West Ham) and @TahirMirza (East Ham) announce they are quitting as chairs and leaving the Labour Party Mirza says other members will follow him + they will stand as independents in the local elections @nicholascecil
- “Bringing down immigration generally” Frost says with a waft of the hand
- Why is the Washington DC-based Edmund Burke Foundation - not any UK policy or research organisation - funding the National Conservatism Conference this week coming? Wouldn’t it be better named the International Conservatism Conference? Hat-tip @betapolitics
- “1863 + 1876 laws led to the effective banning of all works in Ukrainian. Stalin executed a whole generation of writers, cutting short the growth of the vibrant avant-garde” - fascinating by @BlackerUilleam on 🇺🇦🖋 Gogol, Shevchenko, Ukrainka etc theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
- Replying to @SamfrHow many mums and dads and kids in poverty will be front and centre of the coverage about this? How many people in poverty will be writing commentary and columns on the subject? That lack of visibility and dehumanising of people is also horrendous
- “I believe the measure of a success in an economy is not who has the most billionaires, but who has the fewest food banks” - Thunderous applause for Niamh Ramsey @RMTunion @eiecampaign
- Replying to @asabennAre cunning plans better when you don't tell the world about them first?
- Replying to @robertjwestProfessor West - could you please quantify “near certainty” as a percentage, and “massively exceeds” as a proportion of NHS capacity, for how long, and when this will occur? Why haven’t you put any numerical estimates, beyond “many thousands”, in your Tweet?
- Why, four days on from David Amess’ murder, are some media outlets still apparently focused more on online abuse of MPs, than on radicalisation into extreme ideologies and how this problem may have grown over lockdown?
- Why do Sunday Times editors/subs let through stuff that is factually untrue? I don’t care that it’s in the Opinion section and that it’s Rod Liddle. It’s not based in fact, it’s grossly misleading and it corrodes your brand @beckymbarrowRod Liddle writes today that Braverman tends to be approved in the North even though disliked in the South. That is just a false stereotype/projection onto northerners. Was PM right to sack Braverman? North: yes 72-15 South: yes 69-17 Midlands: yes 65-22
