There are roughly 60–80 times more Muslims in Israel than there are Jews in the ENTIRE Muslim world outside Israel. But yes, ‘apartheid’
"Gwyneth Paltrow Deserves Every Bit of the Hate She's Getting Over Her Israel Ad" Even in the celebrity-filled universe of cowardice, Paltrow selling apartments in an apartheid state is beyond the pale. zeteo.com/p/gwyneth-paltrow-…

Fascinating chat on @wearetrackradio this morning about the role of neuroscience in sport. Would heartily recommend this new station. Mix of sport (and not just football, football, football… and I love football) and music

Long term immigrants to the UK: (2024) 948,000 (2025) 813,000 Most people would regard the above as ‘mass migration’
Odd to see Tories claim "mass migration is still happening" as if there has been no change. Here's the latest:-

Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel: As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS. ‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’ Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding: ‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’

Love that Nigel’s big “gotcha” is mostly a screenshot of the office address and letter heading 😂 Let’s help him out by highlighting the actual contents he didn’t bother to read. For those who prefer facts to rage, our detailed legal analysis on PSED is in the thread below 👇
A lot has been written about Kemi Badenoch and her opposition to the DEI agenda today. She clearly has no shame.

"Change medication." Carolin Bohl was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7. In a new article, her mother recounts the harrowing details of her final moments. She also speaks about the humiliation she faced in a room with UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and many Free Palestine activists. In response to a post with the quote, Francesca's writes to a mother who lost her innocent child, "Change medication." This is not some random person spreading hate on the internet. This is a United Nations Special Rapporteur, who would rather post a retort to a grieving mother than condemn terrorists who murdered, raped, and kidnapped civilians.

📣🚨 FSU Victory!! The Free Speech Union has just heard from South Wales Police that it has withdrawn its guidance on “anti-Muslim hostility”. The force had effectively adopted its own Islamic blasphemy law, instructing officers to record any conversation that went beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam. Under this guidance, criticism of Islam could have been recorded as an anti-social behaviour incident and potentially appeared on DBS checks, affecting someone’s ability to work as a teacher, carer, or in other regulated professions. South Wales Police has backed down because the Free Speech Union threatened them with a judicial review if it chose to press ahead with the policy. The force has described this move as a “pause” to the guidance — but we think it is highly unlikely to return. We must also thank Shadow Equalities Minister @ClaireCoutinho for referring South Wales Police to the Equality and Human Rights Commission after we brought this issue to her attention. Blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament 18 years ago. We must not allow them to return through the back door. Let this be a warning to any other public body — particularly police forces — considering the adoption of its own blasphemy laws. Watch Lord Young below 👇

Everyone knows that a two-state solution would involve an Arab-only Palestine alongside a multiethnic Israel with a sizable Arab minority with full citizenship. Yet we're supposed to believe that Israel is the racist apartheid ethnostate. As ever, hatred of Israel is subrational.

Today on #WorldOceansDay2026, French Polynesia has just made one of the biggest ever commitments to protect our ocean.   President Moetai Brotherson  @Moetai1 has announced full protection for over half a million square KMs of ocean. It is an area that encompasses some of the South Pacific’s most pristine marine ecosystems, including critical habitats for migratory whales, sharks, tuna, all manner of seabirds and deep-sea species.   This brings French Polynesia's fully protected waters to 30% of its waters – an example for all the world to follow   Massive congrats @ thanks to @Moetai1 & to all the communities across the islands who have worked so hard to make this happen

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!)👇

Andrew Gilligan asks why an organisation like the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is allowed to be anywhere near the profession of law enforcement. NAMP has branded Zionism “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred, stripping Muslims of their humanity”. These inflammatory claims were made in a NAMP policy paper on “confronting anti-Muslim hatred”, which also described the Israel Defense Forces as a “Zionist terrorist group”. The organisation is affiliated with at least 16 of Britain’s 43 police forces and has a formal national role within policing. It has also received praise from the College of Policing. NAMP works with the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), including through workshops and presentations to the NPCC’s counter-terrorism advisory group. It has called for the term “Islamist terrorism” to be abandoned, arguing that “its use by the police contributes to faith hate crime”. As Gilligan notes, this is despite the fact that, since 1999, 94 per cent of terrorist deaths in Britain have been caused by Islamists. Policy Exchange’s David Spencer has argued that a central element of the crisis consuming British policing is the diversion of officers from their core task: keeping the public safe, preventing crime and catching criminals. NAMP and its agenda are a clear example of that distraction. Read more below in @spectator 👇

Luxembourg joins a growing coalition including Brazil, Norway, Germany, Indonesia, France, and the Minderoo Foundation — supporting the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). It will also host its financial arm. This is the single best hope our tropical forests have. It is designed to tip the balance in favour of making standing tropical forests more valuable alive than dead. 👏👏🌏👏👏

This helps explain why so many have lost confidence in the police.
The official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain has branded Zionism "one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred," described the Israel Defence Force as a "Zionist terrorist group" and defended Hamas against "unverified stories about acts of violence.". The inflammatory claims are made by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) in a policy paper on "confronting anti-Muslim hatred," written by its then vice-president, Khaldoun Kabbani, published on its website last year but not publicised until now. ✍️ Andrew Gilligan Article | spectator.com/article/the-di…

Open Letter To the President of the Russian Federation From the President of Ukraine When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past. Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
