This makes the point perfectly - instead of keeping children safe online via responsible use of parental controls, it will cause more kids to use the unfiltered adult versions increasing the risk of harm.

I very much doubt it’s limited to just the Police.

The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated. It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.

Funny how these ‘mistakes’ always fall in the same direction isn’t it 🤔

2024 Labour Manifesto, page 117:

Anyone reaching for “Westminster bubble” should set alarm bells ringing. It is the cliché insiders use when they want to sound like insurgents. Burnham is the embodiment of the career politician and firmly part of the failed ruling class that got Britain here. His strategy is obvious. He is posing as the insurgent and hoping nobody notices that he is part of the exhausted ruling class that got us to this moment of national crisis. The bottom line is that Burnham and his entourage are fully signed up to the same failed assumptions on energy, immigration, public spending and national decline as Starmer and the Labour Party. The rhetoric may change. The direction will not. Reform and the media must not fall into the trap of turning this into a personality contest. Fight on the issues. Make Burnham answer for what he actually believes, what he has supported and what he would actually do. The country has already wasted too much time.

No, Dan, you're wrong on this. No one promised Brexit voters that leaving the EU would solve all their problems. They promised to Take Back Control. We did that and then our political class betrayed that promise. Leave voters aren't angry that Brexit didn't deliver, they're even MORE angry than they were in 2016 that politicians STILL aren't listening to them.

Torsten and his camaraderie of globalists and International Law meddlers try to claim our flag but in truth hate our country. They despise what makes the rest of us proud & makes us English and British, they peddle anti-English propaganda yet give other nationalists a free pass.

Worcestershire voted for Reform to run the council. Like it or not, that was the MANDATE. As a Conservative, I cannot imagine jumping into bed with the Greens just to block them This is exactly why people are done with the Tory Party I am disgusted with their conduct

No, it stands for English civilisation winning. You stand for putting treacherous lawyers who collaborate with criminals in charge of lawfare against the SAS. A future regime will jail your mate Hermer and RICO through your network RETWEET IF AGREE

Asylum situation is a national emergency. Horrific crimes are being committed by some of them, including those that we cannot yet report. Reform plans a UK Deportation Command and detention camps mean exactly that; not being free to roam around. digitaleditions.telegraph.co…

The Erasmus scheme massively benefits EU students over British young people, all while costing the taxpayer £570 million. 2017/18: Brits to EU ≈ 17,048; EU to Britain ≈ 31,871 Just Starmer once again giving away things for little in return to prop up his friends int he failing EU, bit like those e-gates that never materialised while he gave away our fishing waters. Worst negotiator in British history.

Fixed it: “From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, *just as they can now*, gaining international experience and new skills *but at much greater cost to you, the taxpayer.*

The adoption of EU regulations does nothing for UK trade. All goods exported into the EU follow EU regulations already. Goods which are not exported currently follow UK regulations only. How will forcing the whole of the UK to follow EU regulations help anything? It doesn't...

If a hostile foreign power were trying to destabilise and weaken us in the West; what more could they do that our own Governments aren’t already doing??

A word of warning to those pining for the EU. Spain tried to help its citizens by temporarily reducing VAT on fuel from 21% to 10% - but the EU has told them that it is illegal, as it is the EU who controls the laws, not the Spanish government. theolivepress.es/spain-news/…

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

One Missing Phone. One Very Convenient Gap in the Evidence. There is an old principle in the law of evidence that individual facts, each innocent in isolation, can combine to form proof. No single thread condemns. But weave enough of them together and the picture becomes impossible to deny. Keir Starmer spent years applying that principle to other people. He is about to have it applied to him. Morgan McSweeney's phone went missing in October last year, one month after Lord Mandelson was removed from his post as ambassador to Washington, and shortly after Downing Street officials had begun interviewing witnesses as part of an internal inquiry into how that appointment came to be made. The Metropolitan Police, we now learn, closed the investigation without speaking to McSweeney. They had written down the wrong address. The case has since been reopened after a journalist asked the right question. The phone matters because of what it almost certainly contained. McSweeney and Mandelson were close. McSweeney drove the appointment. The messages between them would have constituted, as lawyers sometimes say, the best evidence: direct, contemporaneous, unmediated by retrospective account. Those messages are gone. This would be less troubling if WhatsApp messages vanished when phones were stolen. They do not. They are stored. They can be recovered. Their disappearance is not a technical inevitability. It is a choice, or a failure, and nobody has yet explained which. One missing phone. One very convenient gap in the evidence. There is more. McSweeney was bound by guidance requiring him to preserve significant government information onto official systems. The Cabinet Office holds some of his messages. Not all. The remainder have not been accounted for. Meanwhile the documents that have been released tell their own story. Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser, described the appointment process as weirdly rushed. He had raised concerns about Mandelson's reputation with McSweeney directly, and was told the issues had been addressed. Sir Philip Barton, a senior foreign policy official, raised concerns too. Both men were overridden. The appointment proceeded. Months later Mandelson was sacked, the internal inquiry began, and then, with a timing that strains credulity, the phone disappeared. Then the police misfiled the report and closed the case. History offers us a word for this kind of sequence. Not conspiracy, which implies coordination and intent that cannot here be proved. The word is omerta: the closing of ranks, the convenient forgetting, the institutional instinct to protect itself from the reckoning it has earned. It does not require a villain. It requires only a culture in which the right questions are not asked, the right addresses are not recorded, and the right messages are not preserved. Keir Starmer came to office promising a different kind of politics. Transparency. Accountability. The rules applying to everyone. What his government has produced instead is a missing phone, a botched police report, unrecovered backups, a rushed appointment, a severance payment made to stop a disgraced peer talking, and a paper trail with a hole in it exactly where the most important evidence should be. That is not bad luck. That is a pattern. And patterns, as this Prime Minister knows better than most, are evidence. "The messages between them would have constituted, as lawyers sometimes say, the best evidence: direct, contemporaneous, unmediated by retrospective account. Those messages are gone."

In 2022, the EU tested chemicals on over 1.1 MILLION animals, due to the mandatory requirement to do so under EU REACH regulations. Brexit allowed the UK to act differently. Our government wants the UK to realign again on these barbaric practices. Say NO to dynamic alignment.

Great stuff from @HarrietCross_MP. Let's get some more signatures behind this petition because I'm sick of seeing public bodies and politicians saying things are 'free'. petition.parliament.uk/petit…
