Over 900 sub-postmasters convicted, 236 jailed.

13 died by suicide, many more tried.

A £1.2 Billion compensation payout the tax payer is on the hook for.

And Ed Davey profited to the tune of £275,000

You are the one that has caused enough damage, you corrupt little bastard.

It must be expensive being a Scottish football fan. First you have to buy a Mexican flag. Then you have to buy a Norwegian flag. Where will it end?

No, no, no!!
You don't get to apologise for a poorly judged Tweet.

Its a serious criminal offence, now known to be a Cat 1A charge.

Straight to prison with you, NO BAIL, no mitigation!

I didn't make the rules! 🤷‍♀️

@StanCollymore has done some epic replies ... here is just one of them.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

You're right.

If you're 300 pounds, morbidly obese because you drink a gallon of coke, eat a garbage sack of dorittos and a cheesecake that could feed 10, walking indeed must be difficult.

At least you've got a healthy national supply of wheelchairs for everyone to use.

BREAKING: President Trump confirms Keir Starmer is resigning as Prime Minister… before Starmer has confirmed it himself. The final humiliation.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

@RachelReevesMP @FCDOSecretary These have the war too and yet their prices are significantly lower why is that ? Secondly the war in Iran is over shouldn't energy start to become cheaper instead it's going up why is that ?

[Callum Lyon @CallumLyon]

The UK economy feels like a game that's been set to impossible mode.

Your wages go up £50 a month.

Your rent goes up £100. Your council tax goes up £20. Your electric goes up £30. Your food shop goes up £40.

Then the government proudly announces that wages are rising.

Cheers lads. I'm only £140 worse off now.

UK is a police state

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.

And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.

I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
