It should be noted that on the day it was confirmed Russia tried to burn our Prime Minister and his family out of their home, the British left were explicitly arguing for the disarmament of our armed forces.
This is a fascinating and detailed investigation into the arson attack on Keir Starmer’s house - for which two men with Ukrainian links were found guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday.
It shows how the attacks were just one part of an extensive campaign of sabotage, provocation and lies leading all the way to the Russian state - which included attempts to divide British communities and smear the PM.

Let's just reflect on this for a moment. For the past few months a group of people who style themselves "patriots" have been peddling propaganda on behalf of a foreign state after it sponsored a firebomb attack on our Prime Minister.

Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.
We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

That’s because if you do focus groups with women who voted for Trump, many of them will cite this comment as one of the reasons they’re no particularly interested in a President Vance.
In Vance's new book — which will be released tomorrow — the VP writes that his infamous "childless cat ladies" comment was "a clear moment where I failed."

The great thing about pushing Vance out in front to sell this thing is that not only is he making Republicans very, very nervous (imagine if John Kerry had said the IRGC has seen the error of its ways in 2015), but he's giving Democrats a very strong argument for 2028 that he'd be a terrible foreign policy president, naive and stupid when it comes to America's adversaries. Absolutely incredible stuff. And people are wondering why Marco Rubio has gone into occultation right now.
Vance: The coolest thing about the progress we’ve made over the last few weeks is that you’re seeing people within the Iranian system—senior leadership, even IRGC officials—say, “You know what? We recognize the way that we’ve done business with the US for 47 years is a mistake. Let’s try something else.”

I reckon he’ll be the UK’s next PM.
A few things happening at once that people should connect.
Russia is now linked to the arson attacks on the Prime Minister's house and car last year. Shocker.
And we all saw what happened the moment that story broke. Our feeds flooded with a different story about who the men were and why they did it.
That's the operation. The arson is one half. The disinformation campaign is the other.
Flood the zone, muddy the water, get the country shouting at itself instead of asking who is behind it.
And at the same time, a chunk of the accounts pushing Scottish independence on X went dark the night Israel hit Iran's nuclear sites.
Ask yourself why. Why would hostile states be interested in sowing division across the country?
This is exactly what I mean when I say defence is the thread underneath everything now.
Again, it isn't tanks on a border. It's an arson attack on the PM's front door and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns in the replies. It's the argument about breaking up our country being run out of Tehran.
This is why resilience matters. And it's bigger than just factchecking a tweet. It's energy we can rely on. Industry we actually own. Institutions that are rock solid. Communities that don't split and fracture the moment someone pushes them. A country that is built to take a punch.
That's the job now.

MND is not common. There seem to have been an awful lot of rugby players past & present diagnosed. Is there a trauma link?
My gran died of it, fwiw. Horrible disease. It & other neuro diseases close to my heart

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Some of you were alive when that happened.

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

Vic’s Dept. Prem has looked Prem Jacinta Allan in the eye and declared he’s not trying to steal her job, in an awkward exchange at a media conference. The Prem says she won’t face a leadership spill this week despite increasing pressure from the surge of One Nation in polls.
