🚫 The Government today blocked any further consideration of the prohibition of 1st Cousin Marriages Bill 🚫 🚫 They could have let it progress to committee stage when all the details could be thrashed out but they blocked it 🚫 🚫 Labour will block it progressing on the 25th too and whenever I try and bring it back. It’s sad because it was a Labour MP, Ann Cryer, who raised this issue 20 years ago and was shouted down then 🚫 🚫 People will get off on calling me names but I grew up in the Pennine mill towns and I don’t want to see the children of the kids I grew up amongst going through this for another generation 🚫 👍 Thank you to the brave people who’ve reached out to me who are part of the communities where this is prevalent and who hate to see certain elements of the establishment continue to enable terrible practices for - at best - fear of causing offence or thinking it’s better to sweep issues under the carpet - or worse, because when the chips are down they simply don’t care, see it as a way of harvesting votes from gatekeepers, or have some screwed up views regarding cultural relativism 👍

🚨 Alarming & Distressing Content 🚨 What the hell is Keir Starmer doing about The Labour Party Basildon Council Leader Gavin Callaghan who posted this a few days ago He superimposed JEW & KIKE on the faces of Basildon Conservatives If Starmer meant what he says about antisemitism then Callaghan would be gone
