Angela Eagle. 34 years of being wrong. 34 years of voting for every open-border policy, every EU power grab, every failed immigration scheme. She watched record boat arrivals on her watch and called it 'complexity.' She scrapped the Rwanda deterrent and replaced it with... nothing. She has never had an independent thought in 450 parliamentary votes. Not one rebellion. Not one principle she wouldn't sell for a promotion. And now she's Security Minister. The woman who couldn't secure a border is securing the entire realm. The woman who never stood up to her party is standing up to terrorists. The woman who failed at every metric is measuring success for the rest of us. This isn't government. This is jobs for the girls/boys who never questioned the boys/girls. 34 years of failure, rewarded with a Damehood and a promotion. Angela Eagle isn't a security expert. She's a careerist who secured the only thing that matters to her: her own advancement.

Defence is getting 10 billion over 4 years because "there is no money". Meanwhile, over the same years, 4.5 billion "just" for cycling routes & crossings. Clearly there is nothing that can be done without cutting "growth" or "hospitals". No compromise at all to be devised.

Pure hell in Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk region. russians dropped 12 KAB glide bombs on a market. A fucking market. A Saturday morning — people just coming out to sell what they have. Just a regular, everyday market… gone in an instant.

A lot of Russian assets across the globe have started a last ditch effort to save Russia from its looming defeat. The only right response is to increase help for the Ukrainian people, enabling them to finish the job. Once imperial Russia is no more, many „domestic“ problems will „miraculously“ disappear, because after all it has always been Russia and not a domestic issue.

In 1840 an American slave ship ran aground in the Bahamas. On British ground, the 38 people below deck could not be owned. 🇬🇧 Free Black boatmen rowed out, magistrates came aboard, and all 38 walked ashore free. 19 October 1840. The Hermosa, a schooner out of Richmond, Virginia, bound for the slave markets of New Orleans. Below deck, 38 enslaved people. Her papers listed them as cargo. She struck a reef off Abaco, in the Bahamas. British ground. Bahamian boatmen rowed out through the surf, free Black men who worked these reefs for a living, and carried all 38 safe to Nassau. Britain had abolished slavery 6 years before. The captain refused to let them ashore. He called for another ship to carry them back to bondage. Then British magistrates came aboard, armed men at their backs. No fleet. No proclamation. A local court doing its ordinary work. In Virginia, paper made those 38 people property. On British ground, no paper on Earth could. One by one, 38 people stepped ashore at Nassau. Free. The owners demanded them back for years. They never got them. Nobody famous freed those 38. Boatmen rowed out. Magistrates climbed aboard. Ordinary hands, keeping Britain's word. In Virginia, paper made them property. On British ground, thanks to the British citizens, it could not. 🇬🇧 This is the revival of British culture. Be part of it. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

The woman David Lammy wants to choose our judges said they should not be appointed on merit alone. Now she says she could appoint judges with NO EXPERIENCE in order to improve diversity. She must not be allowed to run the Judicial Appointments Commission.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

Peter Kyle has just done the one thing a serious government can’t afford in a defence crisis: endorse a secret plan he admits he hasn’t even seen, live on air, while two ministers walk out saying that same unseen plan leaves Britain exposed. If you wanted a single clip to prove this is a loyalty‑cult around Starmer, not a government of grown‑ups, it’s the Business Secretary telling Naga Munchetty that the plan is “great” and “right” – then, under basic questioning, conceding he hasn’t actually read it.

Narinder Kaur still hasn't apologised for calling everyone racist and for smearing this little Braveheart. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let's clear some of this @hmtreasury confusion up for them. Welfare budget is 330bn. Over 4 years that's 1.4trn. Defence are asking for an 'additional' 28bn *over 4 years* (to cover agreed plans). The Treasury are not run by serious people if they can't find 28 out of 1,400...

Labour have appointed a new adviser at the Ministry of Justice. And she has extreme views. She called Henry Nowak's murder “useful” to the Right, and the public reaction to two-tier justice “dangerous”. This is someone who should be nowhere near our justice system. 🧵

Western audiences are completely failing to grasp the monumental scale of the war in Ukraine due to a constant barrage of disinformation and competing international crises. The sheer volume of casualties (including civilian) has been systematically downplayed, leaving the true magnitude of the war nearly invisible outside of Ukraine itself. There is a pervasive belief among even pro-Ukrainian Europeans that this conflict is a somewhat ”clean” war with limited civilian casualties. This narrative flies in the face of reality, as the war has amassed approximately 2 million total casualties over the last four and a half years, with a breakdown of approximately two-thirds Russian and one-third Ukrainian. Despite Russia having more total casualties, Ukraine has dozens of times more civilian casualties than Russia. This crushing disparity tells you everything about the ruthless reality of Russia's campaign. A purely numerical comparison with the war in Gaza highlights the gap in Western perception. As of May 2026, more than two years of war in Gaza resulted in at least 75,811 reported deaths, both sides included. In stark contrast, the Uppsala Conflict Data Program reveals that the single three-month siege of Mariupol saw between 27,000 and 88,000 fatalities. Most of them were Ukrainian civilians. Even though Mariupol had a population five times smaller than Gaza, its death toll in just three months potentially surpassed Gaza's total over two years. On a bigger level, the approximately 2 million total casualties in Ukraine match the population of the entire Gaza Strip. This comparison is strictly statistical, used only because the public is highly aware of Gaza's bloodshed. The Kremlin has skillfully hidden its atrocities and suppressed civilian casualty data in occupied areas, but the West must look past the propaganda and recognize the historic scale of this devastation

“I never thought I’d live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the snivelling self-righteous twats, going around shaming everyone.” - John Lydon, The Sex Pistols

Miliband is wrong to do this - our current spending commitments for carbon capture and heat pumps are a mistake in the first place, an extravagant waste of public money on two things that won't move the dial on anything, not poverty targets, not carbon targets - the only dial they move is large energy company profits. Keir Starmer should insist on these cuts, it’s not as if he’ll lose an ally in the process. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee. She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone. Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the “far-right” were whipping up ‘anti-migrant hate’. People like @HumzaYousaf & many more called it ‘bullsh*t’. Many, including people like @jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her ‘hatred’, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the ‘liar’ they were talking about, was. A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she’d use the money to buy “machetes and IronBru” She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people. She wasn’t ‘hate-filled’, she was scared. Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too. The man and his sister were prosecuted. How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection. How shameful that adults will deny their reality. How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes. Shame on you all. I’ll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar. I won’t hold my breath… I hope this girl is ok. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…

“Either the Prime Minister or the Chancellor has to resign.” That’s not Nigel Farage, not some backbench “hard right” MP– it’s Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, spelling out how serious this defence betrayal is. A PM begs for money to plug a £28bn hole in the forces, the Chancellor refuses, and Labour’s answer is… to brief the lobby, kick the can to 2027, and hope nobody notices while the Army shrinks and threats grow. If Starmer can’t overrule his own Chancellor on something as basic as keeping the country safe, he’s not “grown‑up”, he’s a bystander in his own government – and Dannatt is right: one of them has to go. Or ideally both.

Fuck me. Treasury really wanted to smash defence. Reminder: HMT had ZERO issue with pension, welfare spending, various other pet projects, NetZero bollocks… But defence of the realm? In the global context? = problematic HMT need to explain in detail their reasoning

Councils are warning England fans not to fly the St George’s Cross during the World Cup, claiming it is “unsafe” and bad for “community cohesion”. In England. During a World Cup. If you are offended by England’s flag, feel free to make your way to the nearest airport.
