Military parade observations:
1. Every single soldier looks like he’d rather be storming Omaha Beach — right now.
2. Trump may have wanted a China/ Russia-esque display of strength, but this feels poorly choreographed — and ironically — makes the US army look strangely feeble.
The government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror organisation is lawful, the court of appeal has ruled. Tough day for Corbyn, Polanski, Zarah Sultana, and all the others siding with terrorists over Israel — not that they’ll feel any regret. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gy…
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.
Polanski casually justifying political violence, fully cognisant that those criminals fractured a policewoman’s spine with a sledgehammer. The moral distortions produced by making Gaza the organising principle of left-wing politics are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
Andy Burnham’s case for running the country rests entirely on the fact that he has run a city with a population only slightly larger than that of a London borough.
When asked what his plan for government would be, it becomes apparent that he does not have one. Astonishing.
Britain’s gilt yield is not a vote on Starmer. It measures the gap between what the state has promised and what its economy can produce. Debt, demography and weak productivity are now writing Britain’s politics. By Thomas Falk @topfalkeagleintelreports.com/britai…
"Even by Zack Polanski’s standards, his demand that any dual British-Israeli citizen who has fought for Israel has their name listed on a database – a list, in other words, of bad Jews – is breathtakingly blatant," writes @stephenpollard.

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.

Britain is not abandoning Washington. It is adapting to a less reliable America. London’s gamble is to preserve the benefits of the special relationship while building European, trade and defense options that reduce dependence. By Thomas Falk @topfalkeagleintelreports.com/britai…
Keir Starmer should rip up Ed Miliband’s “unnecessary” net zero agenda, Tony Blair tells #TimesRadio.
“It’s not that I'm a climate denier, but it's just coming to terms with this reality.”
@CalumAM
Burnham’s campaign: class warfare, north v south, redistribution, slander of the national government. Or, as he puts it “fixing the fundamentals of our country”. Starmer sure isn’t perfect, but Labour, and indeed Britain, deserve better than a socialist mayor from the north.
Not only has Sky Sports Golf commentary become unbearable since Coltart and Dougherty joined, but the delay in showing shots is simply outrageous. Their PGA Championship “live” coverage is running nearly ten minutes behind the action. This is 2026. How’s that remotely acceptable?
Twenty years ago, Congolese man Guy Goma came into the BBC for a job interview but, in a now legendary case of mistaken identity, ended up live on the BBC News Channel. Speaking to BBC Africa, Guy explained how he managed to stay calm under the unexpected pressure of live TV.
