My attempt at discussing what has driven violent riots & wanton destruction in France (not without interruption). I was also reacting to unhelpfully labelling Kemi Badenoch's mention of challenges of migration y'day, as a Trump-like dog whistle #PoliticsLive

$Part 2 of a rather fractious exchange on #PoliticsLive. Difficult discussions too often turn toxic once the challenges of mass immigration/integration are raised as problems, even though I was arguing this is only one aspect of the riots in France.$

Andy Burnham has gained plaudits for stopping David Lammy's attack on Juries. But this is misinformation - juries are still under threat in the Courts and Tribunals bill. I tried to explain why it matters.

I found it hard to keep my cool in a question to the minister on Russian interference in the Brexit vote. It is an insult to Leave voters - but even more exasperating is the government's gaslighting with ministers going on about what Andy Burnham did or didn't say, when we all heard him!

Government prepping malarkey is annoying. Instead of lecturing public on preparing for power outages, Burnham needs to be prepared to URGENTLY lift ban on drilling in North Sea. If threats to security, increase defence spending etc. Thanks to Charlie Rowley for letting me vent

Today, the Minister stated that Henry Nowak's murder had nothing to do with racism, and repeatedly stated that "lessons will be learned". I used my question to challenge both false statements - to no avail.

Me on #PoliticsLive: fuss re Kemi's toxic language is SO irritating from party that gave us Lucy Powell's dog whistle attack on mentioning grooming gangs, Lammy labelling Brexiteers as Nazis & nasty, ugly demonising of dissenters as far right/racist/ignorant gammon. Grrr

I was only given four minutes to speak on the King's Speech, so I focused on two-tier attitudes to threats to security and why Labour, especially, always feels more comfortable targeting the 'far right' rather than tackling the more dangerous issue of Islamism. I used the 'tale of two demos' at the weekend to make my point.

The most shocking word of the Southport Inquiry is 'preventable' - Rudakubana was a butcher hiding in plain sight while state authorities looked away. I asked the minister if there will be consequences - will people be sacked? And I was irritated when the minister suggested that it was wrong to bring race into the issue, when in fact it was a bastardised anti-racism that paralysed officials, teachers, social workers and police from confronting the dangerous threats posed by Rudukubana (as well as Calocane in Notts) - because they were black and vulnerable. "Lessons must be learned" reply from the government is unsatisfactory.

I rather lost my rag yesterday at a poorly attended short debate on rape gangs and an inquiry. The government wants to talk about child sex abuse per se, but the question is why state agencies and public servants looked the other way in terms of these specific, organised rape gangs. Even now, the government and many in the media refuse to confront how a fear of being labelled racist is still concealing the truth.

My brief take on GB News re Labour's 2-tier social media ban for u 16s. Somehow Starmer forgot to ban Bluesky. They're such numpties: so keen to contol how plebs communicate, they forget to control their own comms & make their biases blatantly obvious.

Yesterday we had the Lords statement on Ann Widdecombe. Some lovely tributes from across the House, although some implicit anti-Reform vibes. So glad Kate Hoey called this out. I raised the worry of using Ann's brutal killing to justify yet more state censorship of online opinions. That would be a real insult to Ann, whose Oxford Union speech is now being shared widely - in which she proves her passionate, unapologetic commitment to free speech. Hopefully some of my fellow noble Lords will watch it!

I didn't plan to speak on the arms embargo against Israel, but after far too many ministerial replies of 'it's just a question of implementing international law', I called disingenuous BS - and double standards.

BRIEFLY on GB News re pre-leg scrutiny of ConversionPracticesBill. Committee must ask: is this Bill needed? Crucially if your child claims to be born in wrong body, parents must be free to scrutinise too, not forced to affirm under threat of criminal law #BinTheBill #BattleFest

Yesterday I asked a question in the Lords on Jason Arday and the Cambridge University scandal. Should universities be able to use their autonomy to evade accountability and indulge in institutional cover ups, especially when academic freedom and standards are at stake? The minister's reply was unconvincing IMO...

The Lords managed to have a 15-minute debate on the Ballymena riots without anyone mentioning immigration. I managed to sneak in at the end to at least ask an awkward question. Inevitably, it flustered the minister as all other Qs had centred on more funding for police and condemning the violence.

A bit of a lone voice against cross-party fervour of Lords baying to ban social media for the under 16s. It really won't keep kids safe and could create a range of unintended consequences. But also it makes ADULT age-gating ID checks compulsory, for all user to user services. Such was the 'ban it' mood that, when I spoke, there were lots of groaning around me. Let me know what you think.

Every Gov inititiative to manage refugee crisis seems designed to shut down public concerns eg closing asylum hotels while dispersing same residents to HMOs or army barracks. Then politicians mad public still protesting. I backed-up Kim Bailey from CrowboroughShield who explained issue brilliantly on BBC Politics but was accused by Labour MP of whipping up a panic. Now Gov imagines cos its community sponsorship scheme is voluntary, outsourcing housing refugees to 'approved' groups, all OK. But approved by who, on what criteria? And all this done without consulting electorate. Kim is right: the tone-deaf gaslighting is infuriating
