There are serious and legitimate questions about the authenticity of the footage released by the MOD of the interdiction of the Russian Shadow Fleet vessel this morning.
How is the cameraman ahead of the Marines clearing the stairwell to be able to film them coming towards him.
How has the cameraman gone past the open doors of rooms that haven’t yet been cleared?
How much of this has been staged for the cameras?
I don’t doubt that a Russian tanker was seized and that the operation carried significant risk. I do question the PR and the desperate need for a win by the Government at the Royal Marines’ expense.
X is banned for under 16s, but Bluesky isn't.
X is a platform where people regularly share videos of crime, protests, political scandals and government failures.
The other is overwhelmingly left wing and far more sympathetic to the establishment, with no videos of crime, or government failure.
Naturally children, who have no other options, are now going to flood onto Bluesky and only see left leaning viewpoints.
This is a two tier social media ban.
It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.
Smashing up property and attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer is not “protest”
It’s violence
Zack Polanski is a disgrace. Anyone voting Green is supporting this nonsense
Suicidal empathy is the Labour government splurging £10 billion a year on welfare for foreigners, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, and £15 billion in the coming years on hotels & HMOs for illegals and then saying “sorry no money for our own national defence” 🤡
Labour's own people are telling you everything you need to know.
Wes Streeting: Reeves has no plan for growth.
Pat McFadden: all Labour want to do is tax more to pay more benefits.
John Healey: Starmer won't fund our armed forces.
Jess Phillips: PM only acted to protect women and girls when it needed to save his own skin over Mandelson.
A government turning in on itself.
Starmer has chosen his own job over the defence of our nation. He would have to sack Rachel Reeves in order to fund defence properly. He’s chosen not to do that because if the Chancellor goes, he goes. That is not patriotism. That is weak, selfish cowardice.
A Government that's more concerned about Elon Musk than murderous third world migrants attempting to behead us in the street.
The Labour Party is a disgrace.
The most brutal line from John Healey’s resignation letter:
“You have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.”
Starmer’s own team are telling us that he is an unfit PM.
The public saw a shocking act of violence.
Instead of addressing why it happened, politicians seem more concerned that people saw it.
That's exactly why trust in the political class is collapsing.
🚨 NEW: The family of the Belfast attempted beheading victim has called for calm
"We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country. We depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people"
🚨NEW: Zack Polanski was the only party leader to not release a statement condemning the attempted beheading or send condolences to the victim yesterday
