There is so much in this. Things that people obsessed with skin colour completely fail to grasp.

"Good news about the British economy. UK productivity grew more in the last year than in the previous 7 years combined.The productivity pickup is genuinely good news. The UK economy badly needed it"

Good news about the British economy?! UK productivity – how much the economy produces per hour worked – grew more in the past year than in the previous seven years combined. In our latest Substack, Research Director @GregoryThwaites takes a closer look 📈…

In 2024 you claimed £24, 665 for accommodation plus rent for office £22,104. One rule for Conservative MPs and another rule for the 'little people' eh Helen?

Another tangible achievement by this Labour Government. Quietly getting on with the job despite so many people proclaiming daily Armageddon bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… fullfact.org/government-tra…

The retreat gathers pace. Now Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino will leave Minnesota imminently along with some of his agents. Bovino was the one who claimed Alex Pretti was out to ‘massacre’ federal agents when he was shot dead on Saturday morning.

It was clearly a mistake for Pretti to turn up with a gun but there is zero evidence he ever unholstered it, much less tried to use it. He was unarmed and on the ground when 10 bullets were pumped into him. Nor was it illegal for him to carry a concealed weapon. He had a licence.…

FBI Director Kash Patel: “As Kristi said, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have that right to break the law and incite violence.”

Farage is an unelected leader. Should he should call an election within his limited company?

If Reform is a genuinely democratic force confident of popular backing, why don’t Jenrick, Kruger etc seek the consent of voters in by-elections? Farage once saw this as a point of democratic principle. So what’s changed?

Well 1,061 certainly didn’t stay ‘a little back’. That’s the number of non-American NATO troops who were killed in support of US actions in Afghanistan. He really is ungracious, ignorant and uncaring on such matters. Especially unbecoming from someone who managed to avoid…

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front…

3 facts: 1. 457 UK troops were killed in Afghanistan, most in action 2. The US repeatedly did ask other NATO nations to send troops there, and 604 of them also died 3. When it was his turn, Donald Trump dodged the Vietnam draft all 5 times, with a diagnosis of 'bone spurs'

Based on verified data from NATO, Wikipedia, and fact-checks (CNN, FactCheck.org, The Journal), Trump's claim is largely inaccurate. NATO invoked Article 5 post-9/11, with ~1,144 non-US deaths in Afghanistan (e.g., UK 456, Canada 159) showing frontline roles. I'd rate…

What a spit in the face to the hundreds of families who made the biggest sacrifice to America. Not just the dead but the thousands who have had their lives significantly altered forever through trauma and injury. It’s so disrespectful and so insulting for him to lie this way.
