A victory for immigration! 🤡🤡 Any idea of what Emma Hayes was on about? Someone told her to say immigration and a few other buzzwords to keep woke ITV employing her. 😊

Listening to the resignation speech of @JohnHealey_MP is sobering. “NATO says we must prepare for war with Russia within the next five years.” Yet we are still too soft on pro-Pals who target our national security sites. They put us all at risk.

Women are no longer safe in Europe and this is what politicians call cultural enrichment.

Nightmare for a friend of mine. Please share.

Great to see old traditions being kept alive, I watched this last night up the road from where I live, there were other morris dancers but I chose this short clip because it is their interpretation of starling murmurations #Somersettraditions

Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors. There is a process, obviously. Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir. Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy. And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent. So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass. Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite. Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.

No. Putting foreign people in social housing whilst British folks are homeless is profoundly un British.

This is total madness from another unaccountable quango. The government must overrule Natural England and stop it immediately. Keir Starmer is on his way to making his last acts in office the shameful underfunding of our military and the mass slaughter of Dartmoor ponies.

A very happy birthday to our former manager Stan Ternent who reaches the age of 80 today. Have a good day Stan. ▶️uptheclarets.com/stan-at-80 #twitterclarets #BurnleyFootballClub #Clarets #UTC

Today is the first day of the fishing season, and my head is full of thoughts for Ian Coates. I would have loved the opportunity to sit on a riverbank with him. RIP Ian. @PhilCoates9

There’s nothing more pathetic than a ‘progressive’ politician in a hijab

I thought they were all starving 🤔

JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post. Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.

This is Usama Ghanem looking delighted to be protesting near a synagogue today. He lost his student visa MONTHS ago. Why is he still in this country able to harass Jewish ppl? @ShabanaMahmood

🚨 VINI JR JUST TOLD FIFA: “WE’LL PAY THE FINE — BUT NOBODY FROM US IS DOING HALF-TIME INTERVIEWS.” During Brazil’s World Cup match, Vinícius refused the mandatory tunnel interview. Reporter: “You’ll get a huge fine for this.” Vini: “We’ll pay. But nobody is coming to the mic.” This isn’t arrogance. It’s players finally saying enough to FIFA’s corporate circus. Half-time should be for tactics, water, recovery — not feeding the broadcast machine while the game gets sliced up for ads (sound familiar with those forced “welfare” breaks?). FIFA under Infantino has turned football into a product. Mandatory everything. Player focus as an afterthought. Suits in Zurich cashing in. Brazil and Vini just pushed back. Raw. Direct. No bowing to the machine. The beautiful game belongs to the players on the pitch — not boardrooms selling every second. Who else is done with this?

A Labour source asks a very pertinent question: “If there’s more money as Lisa just confirmed, why was Healey allowed to resign?” huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/m…
