.@BBCNews History will record that on the day Time Magazine reported 30,000 killed in Iran over a two-day mass slaughter, your main page chose not to mention Iran even once.

Last night we saw the police stand by as protestors called for ā€˜armed resistance…by any means’ outside an Israeli restaurant in Notting Hill. Yet another example of harassment and incitement to violence against Jews and law abiding people on our streets. In Birmingham, we saw the West Midlands police capitulate to an Islamist mob, then try to cover it up. The Home Secretary has done nothing about this. The Chief Constable is still in post. Hatred thrives when authority shows weakness. The Home Secretary promised more powers for the police to crack down on these repeated protests. It’s time for her to get on with it. We must do more (and quickly) to combat the rise of antisemitism, incitement to violence, and public support of terrorism on our streets.

This intimidation by a gang of bigots is frightening ordinary people, abusing the law, wasting police time, trying to ruin a small business and using the privileges of British freedom of speech to protect a mob of bullying brownshirts. It must be banned now. @metpoliceuk @ShabanaMahmood @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch @RobertJenrick

There is a revealing silence echoing across the West. Not the silence of ignorance, but the silence of choice. In Iran, people are on the streets demanding freedom. The regime has responded by cutting the internet, clearing the stage, and preparing the ground for bloodshed. This is how the Islamic Republic kills without witnesses. We have seen it before. We know exactly what comes next. And yet the Western Left, so vocal on every other injustice, has very little to say. The Iranian state has not merely censored dissent; it has switched off the lights. An internet blackout is not crowd control. It is premeditation. In 2019, the same tactic preceded the killing of around 1,500 people. Today, with protests spreading across more than a hundred cities, the pattern is repeating under the rule of Ali Khamenei. Tear gas, live rounds, mass arrests. Children dead. Morgues filling. Silence abroad. What makes the silence damning is that nothing here is unclear. The protesters are not chanting borrowed slogans or calling for "dialogue" with their jailers. They chant against the dictator. They tear down regime symbols. They want the end of a theocracy that beats women, jails opponents, and exports terror. They want freedom, plainly and without disguise. That should trigger outrage. It does not. Instead, we hear the familiar hedging language. Calls for "restraint". Appeals for "engagement". Statements so bloodless they could be drafted by the regime itself. The same voices that erupt over statues in Bristol and police tactics in Paris are suddenly cautious when a clerical dictatorship prepares to shoot its own people in the dark. The reason is not confusion. It is alignment. The modern Left rations outrage according to ideology. When protests are directed against the West or its allies, they are hailed as the voice of the people. When protests are directed against regimes that define themselves in opposition to the West, the moral energy drains away. Iran is anti-American, anti-Israel, and loudly hostile to Western power. That places it on the protected side of the ledger. This is the moral inversion at work. Brutality is not condemned on its own terms. It is weighed against who benefits. If tyranny weakens the West, it is indulged. If resistance strengthens the values the West claims to believe in, it is ignored. Watch the contrast. Every move by Donald Trump is interrogated to the bone. Every Israeli action is parsed, moralised, and condemned. Yet as Iran prepares a massacre behind a digital curtain, the same critics fall quiet. The standard does not wobble; it disappears. This is why the internet blackout matters. It is not a technical detail. It is the signal that the regime is about to act without witnesses. And the absence of Western pressure, media saturation, and moral insistence tells Tehran that it can proceed with minimal cost. The Left likes to present itself as the conscience of the age. Iran exposes the fraud. This is not a politics of people, but of narratives. Suffering matters only when it can be used against the West. When it cannot, it is filed away under "complexity" and forgotten. The protesters in Iran are not asking for Western retreat. They are asking for Western civilisation to mean something again: liberty, dignity, law, the right to live without fear of the state. That makes them inconvenient. Their courage exposes the hollowness of a human-rights culture that speaks loudly only when it's safe to do so. History will record who spoke and who stayed quiet while the lights went out. Tyranny thrives on that quiet. And every time the Left chooses silence over solidarity with those fighting for freedom, it teaches dictators the same lesson: kill quickly, kill unseen, and the noise will fade. That is the cost of moral inversion. And Iran is paying it in blood. "They chant against the dictator. They tear down regime symbols. They want the end of a theocracy that beats women, jails opponents, and exports terror."

Seriously... In Iran we are now seeing protests in 111 cities and towns across all 31 provinces. Millions of Iranians risk their lives against a brutal regime. People are beaten, arrested, killed. This is global, historic news - and not a word on the front page of @bbcnews 1/2

Astonishing. According to Labour’s own analysis, just 0.8% of those benefitting from lifting the 2 child benefit cap are children of British workers. 99% of those families are either not in work or not British.
I won’t apologise for lifting almost half a million children out of poverty. I won’t apologise for putting money back in people’s pockets. That's why we are scrapping the two-child limit.
Community note
The PM misleads by ignoring that the claim is not fact, but merely a forecast. The IFS assesses that the forecast is optimistic and 'no silver bullet'. The actual impact of removing the limit will depend on the economy and parental behaviour. ifs.org.uk/news/abolishin…

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram. 100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show. I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell. You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures. Here is the actual science of what you are watching: 1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk. 2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time. 3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate. 4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared. 5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed. Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit. They didn't die because of Instagram. They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.
This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.

BBC Verify call the uprising in Iran ā€œcost of living protestsā€. I swear a circle of Hell is reserved for those ā€œjournalistsā€. Over 50 Iranian women have been hanged by the mullahs in the past year. Women. Hanged. Verify that.

Im up at and work at 6:30am on a Saturday so more than 18,000 families get an extra £14k in benefits - which is more than two thirds of my salary This is the most unfair budget in my living memory - those who do the right thing are punished, those who do nothing are rewarded

I grew up in the Soviet Union in the ’80s you know, that workers’ paradise Lenin built. We had endless lines for bread, no freedom to speak, and neighbors who’d sell you out for a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of vodka. My family was considered to be fortunate my father ran a small business, yet we still couldn’t get basic things like toilet paper or school clothes. We’d stand in line for 3 hours just to smell a fucking banana because they were considered a luxury. If we actually wanted one, we had to slip some bureaucrat a bribe to buy two under the table. Lenin didn’t achieve the impossible. He perfected state controlled misery. Funny thing, you can post this tweet without visit from the secret police.That freedom you take for granted? It’s the exact thing Lenin abolished. Bunch of fucking of clowns 🤔
