The Metropolitan Police have abandoned impartiality in favour of progressive and contested ideologies. Former elected Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, Rick Prior, was unlawfully sacked by the Police Federation of England and Wales after saying in a GB News interview that rank-and-file officers were concerned about vexatious racism complaints being made against them simply for doing their jobs. Rick was later brought into the Met Police’s policy unit and tasked with drafting new Diversity, Equality and Inclusion guidelines — only to have his recommendations ignored. Watch Rick speak with FSU Director of Policy and Research @DavidRoseUK on the FSU Podcast 👇

Unclear if the ‘deal’ says anything about Iran’s ballistic missile arsenals and capabilities or about its funding of its terrorist regional proxies. Nor how any ‘nuke’ deal, if one ever done, would be policed. We need much more info but it’s hard to avoid the fear this has the makings of the biggest foreign policy failure of the Trump admin to date.

I went to a kebab shop that has sponsored 7 skilled worker visas. What skills do you need to work in a kebab shop that requires you to import people into Britain?

Why is Sir Keir Starmer’s Government set to ban under-16s from accessing 10 major social media platforms — including X — but not left-wing platforms like Bluesky? Since coming to power, this Government has been openly hostile to X, a forum for debate that prides itself on free speech. Ministers have even floated the idea of blocking UK citizens’ access to the platform altogether. Starmer can no longer pretend this is solely about protecting children.

Andy Burnham has said that “Westminster has refused to listen to towns like ours for decades.” From 2001-2017, Andy was the MP for Leigh. During that time he held several cabinet positions, he was part of the Westminster bubble that refused to listen to Makerfield. Charlatan.

This is Usama Ghanem looking delighted to be protesting near a synagogue today. He lost his student visa MONTHS ago. Why is he still in this country able to harass Jewish ppl? @ShabanaMahmood

A Labour source asks a very pertinent question: “If there’s more money as Lisa just confirmed, why was Healey allowed to resign?” huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/m…

Ha ha ha. It’s almost like you forget the reductions in our armed forces of the previous government…… no why would that be…… 😂

@MATatBucks you and I agree I would like safer cycle routes, so please ask your staff to reconsider the daftness that is the pinewood studios to iver station, at the moment the whole thing is bonkers we need a meeting

Why on earth is anyone feeling sorry for those ghastly four who have been jailed for attacking a Police Officer and causing over £1 million worth of damage?

Four Pro-Palestine activists sentenced to SIX years in prison and branded TERRORISTS by judge over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK. Friends say the criminals are already 'struggling with their mental health' and that this outcone could 'tip them over the edge.

🇵🇱⚔️🇷🇺 Rusia al borde del colapso mientras Polonia se arma hasta los dientes con F-35, tanques Abrams y HIMARS en una masiva acumulación de la OTAN Polonia se está convirtiendo rápidamente en uno de los estados de primera línea más fuertemente armados de la OTAN, impulsada por el creciente temor a Rusia y la guerra en Ucrania. El país acelera una modernización militar integral que incluye la llegada de cazas furtivos F-35A Lightning II procedentes de Estados Unidos, la expansión de los tanques M1 Abrams y K2 Black Panther, el despliegue de sistemas de misiles de largo alcance HIMARS y el fortalecimiento de las baterías de defensa aérea Patriot, junto con el rápido desarrollo de sus capacidades de guerra electrónica y con drones. La estrategia de Varsovia, con sus F-35 Lightning II, se centra en la disuasión mediante una fuerza abrumadora. Los líderes polacos han señalado abiertamente que este rearme es una respuesta directa a las acciones de Rusia en Ucrania y al cambiante panorama de seguridad en Europa del Este, transformando de hecho al país en un escudo fuertemente fortificado en el flanco oriental de la OTAN. 🇪🇺 El nuevo frente de Europa ya no es una advertencia, sino que se está preparando para la guerra. @War_Radar2

The Secret Seven go to St Paul’s! Great visit with exemplary tour guide @Oliver Rhodes!

🚨NEW: RAF Red Arrows fly-past bringing Trooping the Colour 2026 to an end

It was hardly a balanced, decent and honest campaign. It was a national disgrace. But, congratulations, you won. The hollowest of victories.

Still a little in shock, but deeply grateful: Today, His Majesty The King has appointed me an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2026 Birthday Honours, for public service - recognising five years leading local and regional government for the UK and fifteen in government & politics. To everyone who stood alongside - especially my amazing family: thank you.

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.
