"Perhaps the worst moment for South East Water was when it opened a bottled water station in the wrong town." Oh yes they did. 24,000 properties in TunBridge Wells are without water, what do South East Water do? Set up a bottled water station in Tonbridge 5 miles away. thetimes.com/uk/environment/….

New research on mortuary chests in Winchester Cathedral, which contain the commingled skeletal remains of early medieval individuals, primarily Anglo-Saxon and early Norman royals and bishops. These chests, originally ten in number but now six (with replacements), were disrupted during the English Civil War in 1642, when Parliamentarian forces scattered the bones; the remains were later recollected without sorting by individual. The bones have now been analysed and a study of them will be published by Francis Crick institute. The 23 individuals are alleged to include: • Cynegils (King of Wessex, d. 643) • Cynewulf (King of Wessex, d. 786). • Ecgberht (or Egbert, King of Wessex, d. 839). • Æthelwulf (King of Wessex, d. 858). • Eadred (King of England, d. 955). • Edmund (likely Edmund I, King of England, d. 946). • Edmund Ironside (King of England, d. 1016). • Cnut (King of England, Denmark, and Norway, d. 1035). • Harthacnut (or Hardecanute, King of England and Denmark, d. 1042).

Britain is surrendering the Chagos Islands to ‘look good’ in the decolonisation debate, swapping a strategic asset for applause that won’t last a week. Why are we letting a passing intellectual fashion steer decisions with real strategic and human consequences? I’ve set out the full picture at The Biggar Picture: nigelbiggar.co.uk/p/chagos

A “butt load” is a real unit of measurement, equivalent to 128 gallons.

The House of Lords has serious explaining to do. You cannot edit Hansard to remove uncomfortable facts. You cannot ask the same question 4 times until you get the answer you want. You cannot block a division, then allow a political speech mid-vote to confuse peers. This is not procedure. It’s democratic erosion. Democracy, and public trust, matter.

Come on, House of Lords. We need you to address this. It is unacceptable. Peers said “Not Content” three times. A division should have been called. Instead, Labour reran the question until they got the answer they wanted, confused the House, and told peers they were voting against their own motion. This is not how a democracy works. #Chagos

You need to U Turn on your Chagos surrender @Keir_Starmer. In your manifesto you clearly said you would protect British Overseas Territories and defend the right to self-determination. Why are you doing the complete opposite? Are you working for us or China?

Congratulations, the Multipolar World You Ordered Is Here

The real lowlight comes at the end when Baroness Chapman pretends to care about the plight of the Chagossians her government is selling out and denying a voice to – including any chance of a referendum on their future. Actually placing a hand on her heart as she speaks. Grotesque

Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train played on a xylophone is proof that every school in each country needs a fully supported music program. Music heals.

'We've got a Prime Minister who won't listen to his own people... 96% of Chagosians support this Government in exile!' Chagosian First Minister in exile Misley Mandarin on the battle to keep the Chagos Islands British, as Starmer looks to give the islands to Mauritius.

The Chagos deal is ❌Wrong ❌Costly ❌Illogical But is it dodgy in more ways than meet the eye? Keir Starmer you will NOT like my interview with Chagos Islands First Minister Misley Mandarin 👀 Watch in full youtu.be/38pKqxXT5lc

If Britain is going to be invaded can it at least be by the Romans, we desperately need the roads resurfacing!🤔

How is this acceptable? Peers said ‘Not Content’ THREE times. A division should have been called. Instead Labour re-ran the question until they got the answer they wanted, confused the House, and told peers they were voting against their own motion. This is NOT how a democracy works. #Chagos
