DID the five terror suspects have diplomatic immunity?? A few months ago the Iranian Embassy in London launched a recruitment programme for martyrs. The government was sufficiently alarmed to call in the Ambassador. Might our five antiheroes have signed up? And might the Embassy have given them a get-out-of-jail card?

The treatment of Danny Tommo is completely indefensible. Thousands of convicted criminals are being released because there aren't enough prison places. All sorts of monsters escape without custodial sentences. He faces 6 months behind bars before trial. A reminder of his "crime": disabling a vessel used by criminals to bring other criminals to Britain.

A REMINDER that Danny Tommo, accused of popping a dinghy designed to bring more illegal invaders to Britain (nobody was hurt) was denied bail and remains in custody

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Calm down everyone: the five young men suspected of trying to blow up RAF Fairford are "British nationals" who "live in London." Such relief! We can all go home and have a nice cup of tea.
As you were.

Hey @wesstreeting -you have a DUTY to listen to this. You MUST know she’s right

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

I honestly cannot get my head around how successive UK governments and the judiciary have gone out of their way to make our country more dangerous and divided. British citizenship and anonymity for known Hamas operatives; the red carpet for illegal immigrants; two tier justice; the catastrophic degradation of our defences - the list goes on. And each week it gets worse

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Looking forward to seeing the police mugshots of the "British born" choirboys arrested in connection with the terror incident at RAF Fairford

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

TORIES have some brassneck lecturing Labour about Piddington. THEY lost control of our borders. THEY rolled out the red carpet for foreign invaders, year after year after year. They put the 'human rights' of criminals ahead of national security. They should never be forgiven.

Here is our Archbishop of Canterbury, presenting cuddly “interfaith” awards to Islamists in the UK. What the actual freak is going on with the UK?

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Alright @KemiBadenoch - let's go there. You lecture @reformparty_uk about "problem after problem." Here's a little list of your party's "problems" when in actual power. Chris Davies MP, false parliamentary expenses. Pled guilty. Charlie Elphicke MP.: sexual assault. Imprisoned. Imran Khan MP, sexual assault of a child. Imprisoned. Boris Johnson: gold wallpaper and covid breaches, lost his job; Patrick Mercer MP, cash for lobbying; Owen Paterson MP, paid advocacy; Geoffrey Cox MP, British Virgin Island side hustles; Scott Benton MP, lobbying sting; Craig Williams; election date betting, MICHELLE MONE, David Cameron Greensill Capital....and on and on and on and on. So, get ye back in your box!

What evidence does @AngelaRayner have that Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne are “fascists”? Or is this just the only language Labour has for people they disagree with? So utterly feeble

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Funny how people seem to think crypto billionaires would spend £36m “trying to buy influence” over crypto regulation. Guys -they’ve already made more money than they know what to do with. They don’t need anything from anyone

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

TORIES first promised to scrap inheritance tax in 2007! They had 14 years to honour that pledge! Instead, they FROZE allowances. The number of people hit with the hated death skyrocketed. Never trust a Tory...

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

The going rate for a peerage is not £36m - it's circa £1m. (See Tories and Labour). In any case Reform has no peerages to give out.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

🛑 ‼️ BREAKING: Jaw dropping second £36m donation to @reformparty_uk as Christopher Harborne match funds Ben Delo’s gift. Nothing less than the future of our country is at stake! !

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

🛑Reform UK gets the biggest political donation in modern history and the donor is already being absolutely slated. Doubtless he’s far too busy and rich to care but it tells you everything about our culture

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

I thought Burnham knew British pubs and hotels are on their knees.

So why is he introducing a Holiday Tax?

Holidays in Britain will become hundreds of pounds more expensive.

Reform mayors won’t touch it.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Invasion: the definition. Literally what is happening. If the government won’t act, they should not be surprised when the people do.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

🛑 People going crazy over a non existent case of “foreign interference in our democracy” while being all “shrug shrug” about actual hostile states sending God knows who across the Channel literally every week… 🙄

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

I think the real “threat to democracy” was Labour’s scandalous attempt to cancel the local elections, don’t you?
