Canary · Jeremy Corbyn to attend launch of new political partyFor too long politicians have asked for your vote and then taken it for granted - but that’s all about to change in Southport, and Corbyn will be there

In a letter to X, Meta, TikTok, Google, and YouTube, Yvette Cooper said the ease of access to content, including an al-Qaeda training manual, was "unacceptable" and that the firms had a "moral responsibility to act".

#Badenoch essentially argues on #BBCLauraK that multiculturalism has failed. Laura pulls her up with the fact that the #Southport murderer came from a devout Christian household.

Wily Badenoch then pivots to the grooming gangs

Bizarrely, she then says, "We always seem to fall back on wanting more evidence .... [when] we do need more anecdotes to shift the dial"

Do facts matter. I think they do.

As @Pamela1960 pointed out, 88% of all under age rapes are committed by white people.

In the past, the UK PM said, the main threat was organised groups like al-Qaeda, but that we now also face extreme violence from "loners, misfits, young men in their bedroom, accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety". They are sometimes inspired by traditional terrorist groups, he said, but are fixated on extreme violence, seemingly for its own sake.

BBC NewsCould calling attacks like Southport terrorism help prevent them?Keir Starmer says that terrorism has 'changed' and that the problem must be urgently addressed. But the system is fluid when it comes to what classifies as terrorism

'He was not a Muslim, and he was not an asylum seeker'

I fail to understand why saying such would have prejudiced the trial of the evil bastard of #Southport

Perhaps by doing so the riots would not have happened

Minimum of 52 years. I'm not generally in favour of "lock them up and throw away the key" kinds of sentences, but from everything I've heard about the Southport killings, this sounds like one of the rare occasions where that kind of sentence seems fair.

A taxi driver whose social media posts were a "catalyst" for riots that broke out after three girls were stabbed to death in Southport has been jailed seven and a half years.

Andrew McIntyre, 39, set up a Telegram channel called "Southport Wake Up" in the immediate aftermath of the knife attack at a children's dance class in the Merseyside town on 29 July.

Liverpool Crown Court heard the case involved a "sinister aspect" of violence which took place in parts of the UK last summer.

McIntyre, of Rufford, near Ormskirk, Lancashire, had admitted encouraging violent disorder and possession of a knife in an earlier hearing.

The Telegram channel was identified by the group Hope Not Hate as a "catalyst for and origin of a series of posts" concerning incidents of violence, prosecutor Arthur Gibson said.

Expect the White People to riot again and attack The Other. It's just an excuse to be openly racist and pretend we have power in our pathetic little lives. I wash my hands of those throwback colonial bastards.
