When someone like Ken Clarke - in direct conflict with the government - stands up for what is clearly right, we see how far removed the current Tory Party is from traditional conservatism. This is why they’ve lost their traditional voters. It’s now the National Front rebadged.

I disagree with Ken Clarke about most things (not this obviously) but as a genuine political heavyweight and a man of integrity and principle he must be ashamed at what today’s Tory Party has become.

When you have a Tory government 'won' with blatant lies, and run by the blatant liars from Johnson to Sunak, it is no surprise they will try to enact legislation that is blatant lies. Even more astonishingly Labour are not opposing it.

Ken Clarke delivering his speech in the Lords emphasises the absurd, Alice Through the Looking Glass, nightmare to which the Tory Party has reduced us. His words rebut Michael Howard's absurd attack on our judiciary and today's SCOTUS Trump decision emphasises the dangers faced.

When a decent Tory (yes - there used to be some once upon a time) is going to vote against this section of the Bill surely Labour should do the same?

@Blueerryforest If Rwanda was a safe country why do we need to accept their refugees as part of the Agreement? Does that clause in the Agreement not confirm Rwanda isn’t a safe country?

If only the Tory party in the Commons still had members with the calibre of Kenneth Clarke.

@RishiSunak it’s time to start listening to those who talk sense and have credibility like Ken Clarke unlike you who lack credibility and very rarely if ever talks sense. #ToryLies #ToriesBrokeBritain #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry #ToriesUnfitToGovern

STATEMENT FROM THE LABOUR PARTY Abure rejects Appeal Court decision, Heads to Supreme Court Excerpt of his statement. We have seen what transpired today at the Appeal Court and we want to say very clearly that the judgement is not acceptable to all of us in the Labour Party led by my humble self. I want to say very clearly that the judgement is against all known principles of law. The courts, the Supreme Courts and all courts in Nigeria have stated very clearly that the issues of leadership of a political party is an internal affairs of a political party. It is also not true and I disagree when people say that the tenure of this executive has expired. That is untrue and very unacceptable to us. Nigerians will recall that on the 27th of March 2024, we had a valid convention that was held in Nnewi and that convention is still valid and subsisting for 4 years. I want to say that the court today didn't look at that before arriving at the conclusion that the tenure has expired. I must also say clearly that the Umuahia meeting which produced the Caretaker Committee was also against the Labour Party constitution. It is only the National Chairman and National Secretary of a Political Party who has the power to convene any NEC meeting of any of sort. I want to say very clearly that we are going to appeal that decision. Today's decision of the Appeal Court is not acceptable to us and we reject it in its entirety. We have put our legal team together and we are going to file an appeal and move to the Supreme Court. Thank you and God bless you. Sign: Barrister Julius Abure National Chairman Labour Party. 21/04/2026

VIDEO Democratic Front (DF) president Mathias Mpuuga on #TheGrindPodcast with Patrick Kamara 933 KFM: 1. "...I am an active politician, I have moved in every inch and space of this country. I know where his [General Yoweri Museveni support is, it is not 71% it is not even 50%, and he knows it too." 2. "I am on record before and after the elections for having spoken out. I went out of my way and wrote to every political party in the opposition, warning and inviting them for a commonality of purpose...Immediately after the elections, I held a press conference spoke about the same issues, I had warned colleagues about that we never cared about and they happened. So, I feel that I am vindicated to the fact that I raised the alarm. Those who didn’t care, there is no much I could do to drag them." 3. "Also I could have raised the challenge about that election in the supreme court, but I was not a presidential candidate and I did not have permission to raise the same on behalf of any candidate. Remember that in one of the amendments that I had intended in the presidential elections act probably out of ignorance or excitement, was to amend the law to the fact that a citizen can challenge the election in a supreme court as long as that citizen is a voter and there is a proof that his challenge is not a waste of court’s time. I had intended that when that happens when presidential candidates are either compromised or timid, a courageous citizen can challenge that election. That didn’t happen, and the opportunity was lost." 4. "What have I done as DF? The DF is is going to challenge particular actions leading to that election and our petition to the Constitutional court is ready, if you want to know how we have moved and that we are not sleeping as the DF." #RealChangeActNow

Shermichael Singleton absolutely schools the CNN panel on birthright citizenship. He drops the receipts showing that Democrats once agreed it was a loophole Congress needed to shut down. SINGLETON: “Philosophically, I fundamentally disagree with the court on this. To me, I go back to subject to the jurisdiction of, going back to the original intent of the 1866 Civil Rights Act forward the 14th Amendment being passed.” “What was it to address? What was it to codify?” “It was freed slaves who did not have citizenship. It wasn’t freed slaves and any and everybody else across the globe.” “Of the 27 EU countries, NONE of them, none of the civilized Western countries allow or permit unconditional immigration. None of the Western countries allow it. With the exception of the United States and Canada.” “Now, that is not to say that we should not have an immigration policy where we welcome people. I think we absolutely should. It’s made our country very strong.” “But does it mean we should allow anyone to just come into the country, merely have a child and that child be granted citizenship? I would say not.” “And in fact, Democrats actually believed the same thing.” “You go back to 1993 when Harry Reid introduced Immigration Stabilization Act. His argument at the time was, you’re allowing people to take advantage of our country.” “Senator Dianne Feinstein agreed at the time. Several other Democrats agreed at the time.” “So once upon a time, there was bipartisan support that this is a problem that should be addressed by Congress.” “Now, I would agree that the that the executive branch should not have carte Blanche authority to just do whatever he or she will...I would agree there.” “But Congress needs to act on this by passing an amendment, again, I disagree with the interpretation by the court.” Shermichael Singleton

Yes, indeed, this is lawlessness by any standard. Even by banana republic standards, this is still lawlessness. Your country has a constitution, it has a government, it has a police service, and it has a ruling party. I am sure you can see that some of the people there are actually wearing ruling party T-shirts. It is lawless regardless of whoever does it. It is an embarrassment to South Africa as a country, what you are doing and what you are encouraging people to do. Your country has an immigration service. If people are in your country illegally, they should be arrested and deported through lawful processes. You do not go around destroying property, tearing down markets, and attacking people. It is illegal regardless of whoever does it. It is not illegal because I have said so. It is illegal because the laws of your country make it so. This is vigilantism, pure and simple, and it is tainting the reputation of South Africa, not only across Africa but across the world. If you have got satellite television in your home, you can see that these actions are being reported everywhere. It is not good for your country. This kind of barbarism undermines the rule of law, fuels division, and damages South Africa’s standing as a constitutional democracy. It is the actions of a few that are tainting the reputation of many. The average South African is not mindless like this. They respect the law, and they respect the fact that among them, in their communities, there are people from other countries. If those people are in the country illegally, you report them and the law takes its course through proper processes of arrest and deportation. You do not descend into mob justice, lawlessness, and destruction. That is not who South Africans are, and it must not be normalised.
