๐ŸšขClaims about Hormuz reopening are exactly why we built this: If ships start moving through the Strait with AIS transponders on, youโ€™ll see it in the index โ€” updated every 30 minutes alongside Suez, Bab al-Mandeb and Panama.
๐ŸšขA two-week US-Iran ceasefire is now contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The test of whether the deal is real isn't in the headlines โ€” it's in vessel transits. @TheTerminal's WSL SHIPPING<GO> data shows traffic collapsed from ~100/day to ~4/day after February 28. That's a 96% drop in six weeks. A genuine reopening should show up here relatively soon โ€” assuming vessels keep their AIS transponders on, which many have been running dark through the crisis. We'll be tracking it live, with 30-minute updates.

Adam Brooks is a failed publican - every company he's ever set up has gone bust. That's why he resorts to flag-shagging. He's a fraud - which of course ppeals to the dim Kay GB News crowd and Reform UK types

Many small business owners in the UK pay themselves through dividends to manage their risk But the government has continually tightened the screws on this The tax-free dividend allowance has been slashed to a tiny fraction of what it used to be On top of that, dividend tax rates have been increased across the board Taking a risk to set up a business & create jobs is met with higher and higher tax penalties The reward for enterprise is shrinking fast No wonder people are leaving the UK

Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.
Restore Britainโ€™s support in Makerfield is going to shock the establishment.

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy. JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth. comment.press/vance1234

Utterly embarassing from Rob Kenyon. What he clearly doesn't know is Labour MP Josh Simons confirmed just over a week ago that this library would be reopened and work is starting soon, following a 6 month campaign by Labour Councillor Christopher Ready. What total numpties Rob and Zia are.
Ashton Library has been closed and left to rot for almost two years. As MP for Makerfield I will fight tooth and nail to get this building repaired, reopened, and serving this community again.
Community note
Ashton Library is temporarily closed for repairs with services relocated; it is not being left to rot and work to reopen it is due to start soon. wigan.gov.uk/resident/libraโ€ฆ wigantoday.net/news/politics/โ€ฆ

**PeterAPatriot** The statement "Leftists killed Henry Nowak" is not accurate. Henry Nowak, 18, was stabbed to death on 3 Dec 2025 in Southampton by **Vickrum Digwa**, a 23-year-old British Sikh man, using a 21cm kirpan (ceremonial knife). Digwa was convicted of murder and jailed for life (min. 21 years). He lied to police, falsely claiming Nowak racially abused him and knocked off his turban. Police initially handcuffed the dying Nowak based on that claim; he pleaded "I can't breathe" before they started CPR. He died shortly after. The police response has been rightly criticized as a failure driven by over-sensitivity to racism allegations. That reflects real problems with institutional priorities and political correctness in UK policing. But the person who killed Henry was Digwa โ€” not "leftists." **Accuracy: ~12/100** (literal). The broader critique of two-tier policing and anti-white double standards has more substance.

Lol - "on the battlefield" is key here. We now know US heavily depleted its stockpiles, suffered massive damage to its airbases, damaged all its global alliances, disrupted the global economy and achieve none of its objectives.
"We untied just a fraction of our strength. And Iran suffered a devastating military defeat." ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ @SecWar Pete Hegseth briefs members of the media at the Pentagon for the first time since Tuesday evening's ceasefire announcement.

did anyone believe this?
These prices are not directly because of the conflict in Iran. We don't even import a substantial amount of oil from them to warrant the price hikes. This is a fake reason for big oil to price gouge the U.S. Most of the oil there goes to the EU and China.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿงต 1/21

That stat is simply not true. 10 times as many Brits were hired in that period than non-EU nationals
