We need to make the Nuremberg Trials look like a picnic. No one involved must escape the death penalty. Heads must roll.

Liz Kendall is another classic example of the career politician conveyor belt that dominates modern UK politics. - Born 1971 - School - History at Cambridge (ok, not PPE this is the best of her CV in my view) - Think tank / policy roles (IPPR on health/early years/child development, researcher at King’s Fund) - Special adviser (to Harriet Harman at Social Security, then Patricia Hewitt at Trade & Industry and Health) - Charity / sector roles (Director of Maternity Alliance, Ambulance Services Network) because around half Labour MPs have to come from public advocacy positions - because, reasons - MP for Leicester West (2010–present) - Shadow ministerial roles (Health/Care under Miliband - lol, later Social Care and Work & Pensions under Starmer) - 2015 Labour leadership candidate (Blairite lane, came DEAD LAST with ~4.5%) - Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (2024–2025) - Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (2025–present) She has spent her entire adult life in the public sector, think tanks, charities, special adviser gigs, and politics with zero experience in the private sector, technology companies, engineering, computer science, startups, scaling businesses, or anything resembling building or commercialising actual technology/innovation. That she is now the government appointed minister for technology is absolutely mental but also entirely predictable. Her background is overwhelmingly in health policy, social care, maternity, welfare reform, and early years - perfectly respectable areas I guess - but entirely unrelated to leading on AI, emerging tech, digital infrastructure, R&D strategy, or innovation policy for a G7 economy. Probably the last type of person you’d want as minister for technology at this crucial time as we pivot into the AI/automation age. She has openly described herself as ā€œa historianā€ rather than an engineer or computer scientist, and admitted she does not use AI in her professional work as the minister responsible for it (only personally for minor tasks). She’s doesn’t even use the tech! It’s just all so stupid. This is precisely why critics argue she is (and many like her are) unfit for the role. The Science, Innovation and Technology brief demands domain understanding of fast-moving, high-stakes technical fields critical to national security, productivity, and growth. Instead, we get another generalist reshuffled through the Fabian/public-policy/NGO carousel - floating between departments with 1-3 years per brief before being moved on, selected for political loyalty and ideological alignment over proven competence or real-world results in the sector they oversee. The UK’s chronic productivity stagnation, brain drain, and struggles in tech/innovation aren’t mysterious to me or anyone with functioning grey matter. When the system systematically promotes people with no skin in the game of markets, risk, or delivery in the actual economy - and insulates them from feedback loops that punish failure - this is the predictable outcome. Liz Kendall’s career path is textbook evidence of the problem. See many others - including my best mate Dan Tomlinson in HMT 🤣
I’m only occasionally harsh on Kendall talking about technology (see the Ā£1.1bn for ā€˜AI Hardware’) because I thought she was being asked about things outside her brief. I now see her job is Technology Minister and I want to apologise. I should have been more harsh, more often. This is a ā€˜Harold Shipman, Minister for the Elderly’ situation. Dangerously dim, and with objectives in opposition to the brief.

Reform have today said they want the worst rape gang offenders to 'face whole-life sentences'. Weak. They must be put to death.

The Flashing Blade (1967). The historical French children's drama set during the War of the Mantuan Succession - that's what the kids want! It was recut and redubbed by the BBC in 1969 and frequently shown throughout the 1970s.

I'll give £5,000 to anyone who can provide credible video evidence of this taking place. Everyone has a phone. Yet somehow, not a single video exists. This didn't happen.
Out in Makerfield. Seeing @reformparty_uk activists shouting Sieg Heil is not what I was expecting. Vote Reform. Vote Nazi.

Finally. Almost 25 years ago, after 9/11, I participated in frank discussions with Security Service (MI5) affiliates about Islamic radicalism in Yorkshire. Privately, they spoke frankly about Rotherham (they tactfully called it "a city in South Yorkshire") and what was going on there. They knew all about it and implied that UK police did too.

Great British Energy was announced as a national champion; in other words, a publicly-owned power company, the spiritual heir to the days when the state kept the lights on and the bills down. The name does a great deal of work. It asks you to picture turbines, reactors, a vast public enterprise generating power for the people who own it. Here is what has actually been built. Great British Energy employs around 30 permanent staff. It owns no power stations and generates, as far as anyone can establish, not a single watt of electricity. It is about to move into a £1.7m headquarters. And it is currently advertising for three non-executive directors at £1,000 a day, three days a week - £270,000 over three years to sit on the board of a company that has nothing to do. The 1,000 jobs promised at launch have so far materialised as 30 - and even that figure flatters it, propped up by 21 staff on loan from other departments, 12 secondments, and 23 more on contingent contracts. It is a logo with a staff canteen. This is the genre of industrial activity the modern British state has perfected: the announcement as the achievement. You do not need to build the power station if you can build the brand. Cut the ribbon, print the letterhead, brief the Sunday papers about Great British Energy striding onto the field, and the political work is done. Look at that image attached to the post! Isn't that nice? As for the actual generation of electricity? Just a tiresome detail for some future administration to sort out. Ed Miliband, the greatest threat to the national interest since probably Spanish flu, gets his announcement, the public gets a press release, and the bills do not move. The quango cluster around it swells regardless of output. Take the Low Carbon Contracts Company, one of the family: its headcount has risen 382%, from 49 to 236, its costs tripling, in a sector whose entire public justification is that it will make energy cheaper. More administrators, more directors on day-rates, and a country still paying among the highest electricity prices in the developed world. The contrast with a real energy policy is total. You bring bills down by building things that make power - reactors above all, at the pace South Korea and France manage and we have somehow forgotten. Progress would put British nuclear on a war footing and build generation that physically exists, because the only thing that has ever lowered the price of energy is more of it. A body that produces none, however patriotically branded, lowers nothing. Great British Energy: a grand name, a British logo, and no energy to speak of. It is a perfect emblem of a government that has run out of the capacity to do things and kept only the capacity to name them. What a load of doughnuts.

1. The PIP caseload continues to grow, and reached 4 million in April this year. This is an increase of 7 per cent, or an extra 270,000 recipients, compared to April 2025. These are almost entirely new claimants, not people migrating from DLA.

Essentially what has happened is that the decaying political establishment has imported millions of migrants from alien cultures that are entirely incompatible with the British way of life. Those migrants have colonised large parts of our country, and live their lives how they choose to do so because our authorities are too frightened of being called racist to challenge them. That has meant attitudes have flourished and spread which, in short, treat women and non-Muslims like shit. And yes, I do mean that. Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians are all directly responsible for this vast importation. Personally, I will never forgive anyone responsible. Vulnerable working class white girls were treated like a piece of meat. Raped, abused, tortured, murdered. It was a racial attack, and it was a coordinated attack. All across Britain. They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white. Until the political class accepts that fact, nothing will EVER change. These men do not live by the same rules as us - it is all beyond evil. And this is a coordinated network of organised crime right across the country. It is not random groups of scumbags doing this. It is a network. Organised. Ruthless. Efficient. It is an industry. This is not homegrown. We imported it. We welcomed it. Embraced it. We continue to do so. That was a choice. Reversing it is also a choice. One we will make. A Restore Britain Government will remove millions of foreign nationals who hate our way of life and have no reason to be in our country. Gone, and never allowed back. With the British people’s approval, we will reintroduce the death penalty. If a Pakistani man has been gang-raping a young English girl? Torturing her? Passing her around his brothers to also be raped? We will put him to death. And I look forward to that. I really do. Our report has outlined exact recommendations on what needs to be done to eradicate this cancer. A Restore Britain Government will deliver it. We will use the full force of the British state to crack down on these rapists and their enablers in the most brutal fashion imaginable. It will be swift and ruthless. It will be done, finally. And I include their enablers in that. That is why Farage tried to put me in prison. Because I wanted to deport complicit foreign family members. He found that so very extreme - admitting it on national television. Simply remarkable. Hearing the evidence and testimonies provided to our inquiry, I can assure you that I am holding a moderate position. I want the scumbags gone. Deported. Never allowed back. For the very worst among them, I want them permanently removed. Restore Britain will get called extreme, racist, islamophobic and whatever else by the Guardian, Farage, Nadine Dorries, the BBC, the Daily Mail, Zack Polanski. I do not give a shit. I am just grateful that there is finally a political party with the courage to do what needs to be done. We are going to get our country back. We are going to Restore Britain.

Today is the birthday of Enoch Powell, the British statesman famous for his Rivers of Blood speech. After the attempted beheading in Belfast of an Irishman by a Sudanese migrant, it seems prescient to take a moment to revisit Powell's warning. He also coins the term re-emigration, which 58 years later, is now a political force: Remigration. Powell worries that "people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles..." - hence even mentioning demographics has gotten people like Eva Vlaardingerbroek banned from the UK. But if we don't name a problem, how are we do responsibly deal with it? Join us as we remember the past to in order to mold our future. "...with effort now, avoidable evils is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it deserve, and not infrequently receive, the curses of those who come after."

People are frightened to speak the truth or do their job because of ā€˜words’ & name calling. Do what is right - not what’s easy, in these very troubling times. Keeping your head down is compliance. The things we value will be gone before we know it if that is what most people došŸ˜”

I’m not interested in a ā€œsense of togethernessā€ until the Batley school teacher from your constituency is no longer in hiding.
"What role can we all play in building that sense of togetherness." It is 10 years since the murder of MP Jo Cox. Her sister Kim Leadbeater, now an MP herself, says more is needed to bring civility back into society.

Held off commenting on rape gang inquiry because I was on late night GBN: Being objective: It’s great that survivors were given a platform & feel like they had their stories heard, I know the feeling of being ignored is something that cuts deep after all these years, however…

This is one of the most disturbing things I've ever read, but it perfectly encapsulates modern Ireland. As men moved to neutralise an Algerian migrant who was stabbing kids outside a creche in Dublin, women on scene locked hands to protect him.
