Smashing up property and attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer is not “protest” It’s violence Zack Polanski is a disgrace. Anyone voting Green is supporting this nonsense

Sometimes you can only shake your head in disbelief at how unserious this government is.

The resignations of the Defence Secretary and Armed Forces Minister confirm what I've being saying since last year, including at the London Defence Conference in April. We need to get serious. We need to rearm. The @Conservatives will cut welfare spending to fund our military.

NEW: An estimated 2m people in the UK are now borrowing from illegal loan sharks. This isn’t normal - in fact, it’s up 500,000 in England alone⬆️ Watch the exclusive airing of our findings in Hunting the Debt Predators: @C4Dispatches at 8pm. Read Swimming with Sharks: An Update👇(1/3)

Highly significant that Carns is not just angry about defence spending but makes clear he cannot defend the bill which puts veterans in the dock for their actions in Northern Ireland. The fundamental contract between those in uniform and the govt is broken

The Government, and particularly the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, are now in a state of chaos following the resignation of the Defence Secretary, John Healey. His resignation letter lays bare his belief that the Government is reneging on its commitment to fund defence properly at a time when we face what I believe may be the greatest threat to our national security since the 1930s. His letter is a damning indictment of the Government's indecision and of the Treasury's refusal to meet the obligations that the Government itself has set out. It raises profound questions about whether Ministers truly understand the seriousness of the challenges facing our country. I am also informed that at least one other Minister has privately described the Government's Defence Investment Plan, due to be published on Monday, as "not fit for purpose". If that is true, it is an extraordinary condemnation from within the Government's own ranks. The first duty of any Government is the defence of the realm. Yet it is now becoming increasingly clear that Downing Street and the Treasury are not prepared to uphold that fundamental principle. By failing to provide the resources necessary to protect our nation, they risk leaving the United Kingdom exposed at a time when threats from hostile and totalitarian states are growing. This Government is now plumbing new depths of ignominy. We are witnessing a combination of chaos, indecision and a failure of leadership at the very moment when the country requires clarity, resolve and purpose.

John Healey announces his resignation as Defence Secretary - @MPIainDS reacts to the news. "This is a Government in COMPLETE CHAOS!" @JuliaHB1

#BREAKING 🇬🇧 Govt *confirms* that a hidden camera was found in a government building, pursuant to @cazjwheeler scoop.

Jeremy ask Sir Iain Duncan Smith, whether he believes Britain is broken. "I believe in the British people, I believe in their resilience, their ability, I don't believe in politicians but I believe in people." @jkyleofficial @MPIainDS

I’m sick and tired of Keir Starmer’s gimmicks and half measures. The Government should bring in a ban on social media for under-16s. Only the Conservatives have a plan to help parents protect their children.

Public institutions are terrified of getting race wrong. So they outsource judgment to agenda-driven activists and “community leaders” who give advice that damages trust. The answer is not to trash the police but to restore common sense. My Oped in the Times below (no paywall!)👇

This is the Chinese showing contempt for our judicial process. This is part of their bullying attitude towards Britain. This is what China is, a brutal, arrogant government, which has bullied the British government – which has been weak – into agreeing for them to take this very historic site for their embassy. It is wrong in so many areas. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

History remembers the people who refused to stay silent. Jimmy is one of them. He denounced Chinese communism, defended the rule of law, and gave Hong Kong a free press, knowing exactly what it would cost him.

Privileged today to be with @MPIainDS at the unveiling of the new statue of Tank Man. Congratulations to @JGBartholomew and Museum of Communist Terror for this important initiative. Wonderful to hear the distinguished journalist Kate Adie describe her firsthand experiences as she watched the massacre unfold Tiananmen Square and the plea of protestors to her to “tell the world.” She is right that “we must never forget.”@bbcworldservice @CitySamuel @ftchina @edwardlucas @CECCgov @chinaaid

The impact of the Tiananmen Square massacre continues to be felt. This June 4th, we remember the victims and those who continue to suffer on their behalf. IPAC's tribute, with Arthur Liu, Claire Lai, and Christopher Mung #8964 六四天安門大屠殺的歷史傷痕至今未平。在這個 6 月 4 日，我們一同紀念當年的遇難者，也銘記那些至今仍為此承受苦難的人們。 IPAC和 Arthur Liu、Claire Lai 與 Christopher Mung 共同獻上悼念。 #8964

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

The North East has the highest NEETs rate of anywhere in the country🇬🇧 If we give young people hope here, we can do it across Britain. Yesterday, with @StephLunch and @Dallaglio8, we talked to over 60 employers taking on this crisis💬 All in partnership with @FenwickStores - one of the region’s biggest local employers🟢

China paying Western spies thousands for information. Alliance says Beijing’s military intelligence services targeting people with access to classified information. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06… It warned that some of the data being sought by the Chinese state could put lives of soldiers on the front line “at risk”, as well as weakening the West’s economic prosperity and democratic processes.
