If you want to know what Nelson thought of Muslims, you may want to factor in Nelson's column. See that thing on his hat? It is a 'chelengk'. Nelson was the first non-Muslim to be awarded one - as thanks for his victory in the Battle of the Nile. It was gifted to him by Sultan Selim III, who was literally the Caliph at the time. Nelson was so proud of it, as well as wearing it on his hat, he added it to his coat of arms. It is now the literal highest point of Nelson's column - a gift from the leader of the Muslim world to a devout Christian.
What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

The letter could’ve been a lot shorter. Dear Colleagues, I’m a pussy’ole who was so scared that someone more popular than me might take my job, that I threw a whole parliamentary seat under the bus. Soz
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs to explain why Labour lost the Gorton and Denton by-election Dear Colleagues, The result in Gorton and Denton is deeply disappointing. Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them. We have to learn lessons from that, and we will. I know this is a tough result for our movement but I still want to thank you for everything you did to support our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia. She did a fantastic job and Gorton and Denton deserved to have her as their MP. We’ve seen the true colours of Zack Polanski’s Greens in this campaign. The Greens were able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line. Their willingness to welcome Galloway's divisive, sectarian politics is a sign that the Greens are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be, and their position on legalising all drugs shows how unstable this electoral coalition is. It cannot survive a general election campaign. It hurts, but this is the kind of result that we have often seen parties of government face. In by-elections people can make their voice heard without risking a change of government. I get it: people are rightly impatient to see the change they voted for. It’s my job to make sure that happens. And I’m working day in, day out to see it through. Over the coming months, people will feel the benefit of the long-term decisions this government is taking. Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. And look at the policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives in the coming months: the landmark Employment Rights Act, money off energy bills, the cruel two-child limit scrapped, more free breakfast clubs opening, Pride in Place funding coming through, NHS waiting lists continuing to fall. It will show what we’ve been saying from the outset of this year: the country is turning a corner. These are all Labour policies, putting Labour values into action - policies no other party would or could deliver. The Greens may have won here, but they simply do not have the resources, the activist base or the local knowledge to replicate this victory across the country. We’ve seen that before. We’ve seen it with the Lib Dems, who have often won mid-term by-elections against both the Conservatives and Labour, but never been able to come close to winning nationally. We’ve seen it with George Galloway, who won two mid-term by elections but held neither of those seats in a general election. We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose: the risk of extreme policies like legalising all drugs and pulling out of NATO that most voters strongly reject, and the risk of splitting the progressive vote so that Reform come through the middle. The next election is too important to let that happen. It’s a fight we can win, and we’re going to win it. Best, Keir

Wow, this speech from Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani 👏💯 "They command us not to believe what we see" "They compel us as George Orwell wrote nearly 80 years ago, to reject the evidence of our eyes and our ears" "And they would succeed, were it not for the many among us who read the scripture, but who live the scripture" "Those who refuse to abandon the stranger" "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her moments later were: I'm not mad at you" "I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. Here was a man who held the hand of the afraid and the afflicted in their final moments" "Here was a man who dedicated his life to healing those who he never met" "ICE shot him 10 times because he did something they could never fathom doing, he extended his arm towards a stranger" "Not to push her down, but help her up" "Let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion"

Wise words from my captain. There’s no such thing as being ‘too open’. Talking about your feelings is so important. And as someone who struggles with their mental health, that’s something you need to hear every so often. “It’s OK not to be OK” is said a lot, but it’s true ❤️

This cannot be seen too often: ‘The 🇬🇧 is selling arms to 🇮🇱 for a genocide’ ‘The 🇬🇧 is flying spy missions for 🇮🇱’ ‘As a Jewish man I ask everyone to be sensitive’ ‘But no one should be asked to be silent about genocide’ Zack Polanski is a leader.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.
