Many will love Jeremy Clarkson for his Top Gear days but I suggest he has done more for farming than any Government in recent years. Such a big character who is honest, direct and humorous. Wishing him a full recovery

So Starmer is concerned about children’s safety/wellbeing when it comes to social media, but this concern is absent when it comes to housing undocumented illegal migrants in our communities where they are free to roam …🤔

I really hope Trump tells Starmer what he really thinks of him and tells him where to go Starmer seeks British carve-out from Trump’s Anthropic AI ban telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

13th June, anniversary of the worst day in my life when I lost my brave & beautiful daughter Grace in the Nottingham attacks. Grace was the love of my life. The best of me and the best of my wife Sinéad. Thank you all for coming to grieve with us, the Coates family and a special I’ll thanks to @redrumlisa for being there and representing the warm people of Nottingham. Rev Dr Alan Mair gave a beautiful homily at St Paul’s Church, Lenton. We then walked across and laid a rose for my rose Gracie at Ilkeston Road. 🌹 This is the text of Rev Dr Alan Mair’s homily: beautiful words: my Homily for victims Grace, Barney and Ian June 13th 2026 We need few words to express why we are gathered here on the third anniversary of the brutal attack that left Grace, Ian and Barney dead and Sharon and Wayne who received life changing injuries. We gather with heavy hearts. We come before God carrying grief, anger, confusion, and sorrow. We remember, Grace, Barney and Ian whose lives were cruelty taken.  We pray for each other whose lives have been forever changed. In moments like these, words can seem inadequate. We ask questions that have no easy answers. Why did this happen? Why were precious lives lost? Why does violence continue to wound our communities? The Gospel does not pretend that suffering is easy to understand. Even Jesus stood before the tomb of his friend Lazarus and wept. The Son of God Himself entered into human grief. This reminds us that our tears are not a sign of weak faith. They are a sign of love. And God receives every tear we shed. We entrust them to the mercy of God, confident in the promise of Christ who said, "I am the resurrection and the life."  Death does not have the final word. Through His death and resurrection, Christ has opened the way to eternal life.  A tough concept to understand.  But last Saturday at the hockey tournament I felt the presence of Grace.  On the stands at the City Ground, I am certain Ian was cheering the fact that Forest stayed up while West Ham were relegated.  I am certain too that Barney’s cricket club feel his gentle presence as they go out to bat. Yet our prayer today extends beyond remembrance. We also pray for healing. We pray for parents whose hearts have been broken, for brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who miss a loved one, for friends carrying trauma, and for communities living in fear. The Christian response to violence is not indifference. Nor is it revenge. St Paul tells us: "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." This is one of the hardest commands in the Gospel. Yet history shows that hatred never heals hatred. Violence never truly defeats violence. Only love, justice, mercy, and truth can break the cycle. We are called to become instruments of peace. In our homes, schools, parishes, and communities, we must build a culture where every person knows they are valued and loved. We must support young people, strengthen families, and work for justice. We must refuse to accept violence as normal or inevitable. The Church stands alongside all who suffer. We believe that even in the darkest moments, God has not abandoned His people. The Cross itself seemed like a victory for violence and death. Yet God transformed it into the source of salvation and hope. The resurrection assures us that darkness does not overcome the light. And we ask the Lord to make us bearers of His peace, so that through our words, actions, and witness, we may help build a society where life is cherished, communities are healed, and every person can live without fear. May the souls of all who have died through violence rest in peace. And may the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds, now and always. Amen. @EmilyMayTV @ITVCentral @SkyNews @MartinDaubney @redrumlisa @nottm_post @downingstreet @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @AlexDaviesJones

Barnaby Philip John Webber 11/01/2004-13/06/2023 💔 If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity. Let his face today burn bright. Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚 For You. For Grace. For Ian.

I have a huge problem with this. (feel free to share)…… Calocane senior’s vague and watered down written evidence is denying us of answers we have the right to hear. He was given permission not to appear despite numerous appeals from the survivors and bereaved legal teams. It is a decision that none of us were happy with. AT ALL. Statements only are one way information. I didn’t care if he had a private and remote link. If language is still a barrier for him then use a translater (the young student from Italy who broke her back escaping from Calocane managed to do it). The Inquiry knows this. They know how we feel. Sadly we are powerless and bound by the decision. No doubt this post will cause consternation. But it’s my point of view and opinion. And I will always be fully transparent. He has information we deserve to hear. Proper answers with detail and evidence that go beyond short sentence answers. We know that there were serious fractures in this family: - the ‘scratch injury’ over a washing up argument resulted in the Police attending an assault. - why did they not know where he lived for much of his 20s? - it appears he refused to give them his addresses. It appears they thought he was in Newcastle yet he was in Birmingham ? - arrived in Wales when he was 16 and by 19 he had left home because ‘he didn’t like his father’s rules. - disagreement over - very ‘devout’ Christian beliefs (read the text messages BOTH ways) between the two brothers. - family history of mental health issues. - detail on action taken by the family (including the father) on the two episodes in 2021 when Calocane drove five hours in a psychotic state to sit outside the family home. - how could the family, including a registered Nurse, not know of his illness when they were both present with Doctors and asking questions about depot meds (which are used for medical conditions such as paranoid schizophrenia which was also actually diagnosed as early as Sept 2020. It’s in the notes!). Did they not talk to each other as parents? - he doesn’t appear to have the concerns about suicide that his son Elias evidenced so strongly in his evidence? - dates when he saw and spoke to his eldest son between 2020-2023 (less than a handful of times we believe). - question about that final call made to him late night on the 12th June. What action did he take, what did he discuss with his wife. - clarification of regularity of calls or emails with VC in 2023. We were told family had lost contact with him? - clarification of when he knew what his son had done (seems a rather casual reference to such catastrophic news). Despite how this may appear. It is not vindictive or bullying. What is apparent from the new evidence that has come forward during the inquiry is that there is much more ‘history’ than has been previously revealed about Calocane and his family. This is important and it is relevant. His child destroyed my family. He stole my son from us. Surely to have the chance to have answers and the truth is the very least I/we are entitled to? @drsanjoykumar @coatesaholic @CoatesMania

🚨NEW: Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said racial equality "doesn't mean treating everyone the same"

I am fast losing the will to live 🤦🏻‍♀️ Net zero is going to be the death of this country Sainsbury’s ditches brown eggs in net zero drive telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

I don’t condone violence against the police or destruction to property but it seems to me our politicians are more focused on criticising this behaviour rather than trying to understand WHY are ppl so disgruntled/angry

I’m sorry but Starmer is so disingenuous in the sentiments he is trying to convey Henry Nowak 🙄 #PMQs

First question a Labour MP asked Starmer was about cronyism and donations to political parties. This was designed for Starmer to have a pop at the £5m donation received by Farage. Such hypocrisy from Labour. We have t forgotten about Lord Ali #PMQs

Why do @GBNews have Nigel Nelson as a daily guest? Is it to appease Ofcom? I ask becos no matter the subject, he spins stories & is unable to be objective & balanced. Even today on the Nowak story he can’t accept the racial aspect of this horrific murder

I’ve just seen the body cam footage of Henry Nowaks last few moments. It’s beyond comprehension how the police officers treated him and reacted towards his pleas. His family had to watch his final moments: undignified, cruel and inhumane 😥

Listening to the way Henry Nowak died is absolutely horrendous and beggars belief. I actually feel sick listening to the account. Heads must roll and there must be accountability both at the top of the police force as well as among the arresting officers

Urgent!

Come on @Nanaakua1 how can you think it’s possible Nicola Sturgeon didn’t know about her husband embezzling money when he spent so much of it on materialistic possessions which she saw/used in their home. His earned income was not unlimited

I hope this story is investigated further Rayner warned about electoral fraud in April ... and did not act telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Not sure what the Labour MPs are smoking/drinking today, but they are on on SM suggesting our country is growing, their plan is working 🤣🤣These guys are seriously deluded

Net migration apparently has fallen, but why do I feel poorer, even more unsafe than I did 2 yrs ago and why I am even more worried for my future and the future of my children?

Wes Streeting is such a snake. Standing there suggesting Labour are on the side of young people. Just look at what Phillipson has done to education? Look at how Reeves policies have impacted jobs. Good riddance to him
