"rubbish," said this cabinet minister, kemi badenoch. the comments as reported were racist, she said, adding that there should be forgiveness where there is contrition. a cabinet colleague had a rather different ta

why was its local mp jo cox shot and stabbed?stigating the death of one of their own. more than 100 nhs and care staff have now died with the coronavirus. they dedicated themselves to public service and all lost their lives doing their duty. now their families will be able to celebrate them with a posthumous award. the elizabeth emblem comes after years of campaigning from bryn hughes. i am absolutely overwhelmed, fantastic, elated. humbled. all those rolled into one. hard to sum it up and describe it one word. it is a massive achievement for everybody involved. his daughter, pc nicola hughes, was murdered in 2012 while attending a burglary. two years ago, he set out his vision of an award for the families of emergency services workers killed in the line of duty. that is important for me, really important that they are honoured and remembered. now his dream has become a reality. notjust for blue light services but all public sector workers. once you see their reactions, i think that will bring it home. like you said, the magnitud

surely sunak can't be referring to the schizophrenic neo—nazi who killed jo cox.ight years because there aren't years ago, because there aren't marches in his honour, thankfully, any copycats , thankfully, nor any copycats, since sunak is singling since perhaps sunak is singling out lee anderson, excommunicated from conservative party for from the conservative party for saying and sadiq khan saying starmer and sadiq khan are, controlled by are, quote, controlled by islamists . everyone rushed islamists. everyone rushed to condemn him . but lee anderson condemn him. but lee anderson was sadiq khan has a was right. sadiq khan has a history of defending and affiliating islamists, affiliating with islamists, including only man to be including the only man to be convicted for 9/11 and speaking alongside leaders of proscribed terrorist groups, whom terrorist groups, one of whom later over later trained the seven over seven bomber. former brother seven bomber. his former brother in sadiq claims he in law, who sadiq khan claims he hasn't had anything to do with more decad

who could forget the horrible murder of jo cox in 2016?mpletely ignored. this case of jacob graham is this guy is plotted to kill 50 people. he's now going to do 13 years in prison. okay, it might be a lone wolf example. however, we have seen very far left groups on the streets of london, socialist and marxist, ever since october 7th, every week, not only that, you will remember in, it was march 2021 when various far left groups in bristol attacked a police station, a police , they tried to station, a police, they tried to burn down the police station. a police officer had a lung punctured and several bones broken. the far left. that story doesn't get covered. that story doesn't get covered. that story doesn't get covered. that story doesn't get reported . it's doesn't get reported. it's completely ignored. i actually went to one of posey parker, a woman who's constantly slandered and libelled as being far right. i went to one of her let women speak. events, and i saw the counter protesters. they were holding signs quite literally, with le

but when someone says you should shoot an mp in this country after we've lost jo cox , actually, we takee inciting violence to them. we do draw the line when public servants are threatened with being killed simply because of their race. but we do say you shouldn't do that, and therefore there is a sanction to that. and i think we can all agree that in this climate or in any climate, even joking about mps being killed is an awful thing to do. >> but but is there not a double standard here? when jo brand joked about throwing battery acid in the face of nigel farage, people realised that she didn't physically actually want to do that. there wasn't a police investigation. there is an unfortunate phrase that many people use oh, i would shoot them, but it doesn't actually mean that they're going to do that. mean that they're going to do that . that's are we are we not that. that's are we are we not treating these two similar things in very, very different ways? jo brand and frank hester ? ways? jo brand and frank hester? >> no, no, there's plenty of comedians that have made racist jokes. there

street has since branded those comments irresponsible and intimidatory, and the widower of murdered mp jo coxng it a clear act of intimidation . and just this of intimidation. and just this morning a prominent mp shared a truly sickening email that was sent anonymously, anonymously to former education minister dame andrea jenkyns. it says dear dame jenkyns, i hope you are doing well. i've been facing anti—semitism for a long time in morley that got your attention, you dirty little posh white slut . hope your little boy clifford is getting molested at school by his black and brown nannies that would teach you a thing about multiculturalism . maybe he might multiculturalism. maybe he might get raped by a refugee. we know where you are. and your filthy little clifford. and we hope hamas comes for you lot. so obviously, we weighed up whether or not to read that out, but i think it's important to get the detail out there. i'm pleased to say that andrea jenkins joins me now. andrea, how are you just heanng now. andrea, how are you just hearing it again? >> patrick, actually, um , i'm a >> patrick,
