I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

Javier Milei claims to admire Margaret Thatcher but forgets this lesson: Britain does not surrender to bullies.

If he wants a stronger Argentina, he should build its economy, not threaten others.

But there’s also a lesson here for our sleepy Labour government. The madness of surrendering the Chagos Islands means other countries are now trying their luck.

If we do not defend our own interests, whether on energy or territory, others will happily exploit that weakness.

When a public figure such as Jong-Fast is wrong so consistently, why does she keep being consulted for her opinions?
This seems to happen a lot.

🇺🇸 The United States wrote the most sophisticated constitution the world had seen, splitting power between the executive, the legislature and the judiciary so that no single man could ever run the place like a private estate. Then it added a free press, fifty stubborn states, independent agencies, a career civil service and elections every two years, just to be safe.

Two and a half centuries later the executive branch spends its Sunday posting AI-generated geese in blond wigs.

The Home Office's new 'behaviour guide' tells asylum seekers that rape is a crime, that it's wrong to have sex with children, and that it's illegal to beat women.

But if people don't already know those things, they shouldn't be allowed to come here in the first place.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Foreign nationals are 71 per cent more likely than Brits to commit sex crimes.

Afghans are more than TWENTY times more likely.

Labour hold all the data on crime and nationality.

But they are covering it up. We want it released.

Days before the start of large-scale combat operations against Iran in late February, President Trump summoned his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to the Oval Office in order to ask her if a war with Iran would work and successfully topple the Islamic Regime, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Gabbard outlined running assessments from the U.S. intelligence community, telling Trump that killing Iran’s supreme leader would likely usher in a more hard-line regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons, while the IRGC would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz, destabilizing the global energy market, and strike U.S. forces and partners across the Middle East.

199,628 migrants were granted permanent settlement in Britain in the year to June.

That’s up 24%.

Meanwhile, a record 315,224 people applied for British citizenship.

Immigration isn’t just about who arrives. It’s about how many people are permanently added to the country.

2025 Carnival: 528 arrests

21 sexual assaults, 4 stabbings, 55 assaults on police, 50 offensive weapons.

Not to mention the likely thousands of drug offences ignored.

Any other event with this level of predictable criminality would be banned.

The usual Tory shills in the press are pushing a website that advises the ‘right’ how to “vote tactically”.

A psy op to keep the Tory Party alive.

The Tories imported over 4 million migrants in 4 years, almost all unskilled.

Almost all came on non work visas.

Even Corbyn would have struggled to do that.

They changed the face of Britain.

Nothing “right” about them.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Reform MP Danny Kruger is tabling amendments in Parliament to 'end Commonwealth voting, restrict postal voting, end foreign language election materials, and crack down on coercive ‘family voting’.'

I will absolutely support Danny's efforts.

Issues Restore Britain has been campaigning on for many months, so where there is opportunity for cooperation in Parliament to deliver real change - I will be right behind that.

This is a sensible proposal from Danny.

Restore Britain will support it.

[Connor Tomlinson @Con_Tomlinson]

Maria is excellent here.

Accusations of "vote splitting" fall flat when:

· Those making the accusations previously faced the same accusation

· Those making the accusations rejected a pact which would have resolved said split vote

Restore Britain supporters are good people, drawn to the party for principled reasons.

If other parties have estranged them, that is those parties' fault — not Restore Britain's.

The good people in Reform are done a disservice by their counterparts who imply Reform is entitled to the "right wing vote". Every vote must be earned, and that attitude is what drive hundreds of thousands of people away in the first place.

US to control 65bn barrels of proven Venezuela oil reserves.

Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, installed a compliant govt.

It was about oil/gas, land grab; not democracy.

Deal might reduce US petrol prices just before midterm elections.

BREAKING NEWS 🔥🔥🔥

Woody Harrelson urges British Prime Minister Andy Burnham to launch Covid vaccine inquiry

Woody Harrelson has signed an open letter to Andy Burnham calling for an inquiry into the Covid vaccine.
The American actor, who starred in Cheers and No Country for Old Men, joined scientists, campaigners and Pat Cash, the former Wimbledon champion, in asking the Prime Minister to reexamine the effectiveness and safety of the jab.

The signatories have urged Mr Burnham to suspend Covid vaccinations until an “independent examination” has been carried out.
“The Covid years divided families, communities, doctors and politicians,” Harrelson and others write. “Continuing to fight the same political battles will not heal those divisions.

“Finding out what happened might. You have an opportunity, at the beginning of your premiership, to approach this differently. We are not asking you to prejudge the evidence.
“We are asking you to open the door to its independent examination. If the concerns we and others have raised prove unfounded, a rigorous investigation should establish that. If they are justified, the public deserves to know. Either way, transparency is the only sustainable route to restoring trust.”
The Covid vaccines were developed in record time, with trials and analysis conducted in a few months when the process normally takes several years.

Experts insist that no corners were cut and that trials proved the vaccines were safe and effective, a finding that was then mirrored by real-world results that showed deaths plummeting after the roll-out.

Yet the jabs also triggered rare heart and clotting conditions. More than 2,000 people in Britain suffered myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, or pericarditis, heart lining, following vaccination, with young men particularly vulnerable.
Last year, Stanford University found that Covid mRNA vaccines, such as the Pfizer jab, could cause heart damage by triggering immune cells to go on the attack.

The letter was coordinated by Dr Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist

Pfizer said there is no evidence to suggest mRNA jabs are linked to cancer but the vaccines now carry warnings for myocarditis and pericarditis.
Other signatories include Dr John Flack, the former senior vice-president for drug discovery at SmithKline Beecham; Dr Henry Goodall, former president of the Society of Occupational Medicine; John Vincent, the co-founder of the restaurant chain Leon; and Peter Fleming, the sports commentator.

I think it will be well understood by very many voters.

1. Minister resigns because defence spending is too low.

2. Minister returns to a job where he can fix the problem he resigned over.

3. Minister refuses to do so.

It absolutely exemplifies the careerism and cynicism of too many in politics.
