Not a good look for a putative Prime Minister to be spreading fake news. Reminds me of the time Labour claimed the Lib Dems were planning to shoot the rabbits at the Civic Centre (we weren't) - but at least that was silly season.
This is total madness from another unaccountable quango. The government must overrule Natural England and stop it immediately.
Keir Starmer is on his way to making his last acts in office the shameful underfunding of our military and the mass slaughter of Dartmoor ponies.

In 2005, UK radio listeners were polled and asked to combine any British rock musicians into a fantasy supergroup. The best guitarist went to Jimmy Page, bassist to John Paul Jones, drummer to John Bonham, and singer to Robert Plant, which makes the line-up of Led Zeppelin.

That must be the biggest upset for Spain since the mighty Norn Iron knocked them out of their own World Cup.

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat.
So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard?
I can think of 5 million reasons why…

Unless Opinium can factor in the turnout of habitual non-voters, I don’t think this is in the bag.

She’s lost 1200 council seats and several MPs while in opposition to an incredibly unpopular Govt. I wouldn’t put any money on it if I were you.

If there is a group that doesn't deserve thugs terrorising its streets it is the people of Belfast. Their city bears the scars of decades of violence and unrest. Shame on the louts subjecting them to more and the cretins encouraging them.

This is why we shouldn’t measure the defence of the realm by how much we spend on it.
CNN:
İran, ABD'ye ait bir Apache helikopterini Şahid-136 İHA'sıyla düşürdü.
20 bin dolarlık İHA ile 35 milyonluk helikopteri düşürdüler...

One other thing. People don't burn their neighbours out of their homes because they're angry. They do it because they get off on it.

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.

Yesterday 274 people pushed for the summit of Mount Everest just to give their LinkedIn profile the edge.
Horrendous.
