Iran threatens Western military bases, sponsors terrorism and persecutes its own people. Yet 144 UN members vote to give it a seat on a committee overseeing key UN programmes. Britain failed to object to its nomination. What a disgraceful display of diplomatic cowardice.

⏰ Only 7 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee.
The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting.
Tell it to think again ⬇️

Peak Marie Antoinette from Miatta;
“Let them pay £300 a month energy bills while I commission more heavily-subsidised “cheap”windmills and count myself virtuous.”
British people need to call time on this elite fantasy.
PROOF! The Conversion Practices Bill is a trojan horse designed by ideologists to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling that states sex is biological sex and not some disproved, university ideology. Hidden in the Impact Assessment is the true goal of the Bill...
This fella is one of the few impressive members of a Parliament which has fallen far from grace. Regularly raising issues of real importance rather than virtue signalling twattery like so many others.
Want to do something about the poor standards of care and help given to women when it comes to infant feeding? Sign the @feedukorg petition #ToldInTime. Babies should not be being put in danger, and mothers should not be being punished:

The government’s conversion-practices helpline tender now expects as few as 300 calls a year, instead of the 15,000 envisaged. @Daniel_J_Martin
“It’s a scandal that the original, inflated numbers are being used as evidence for the draft Conversion Practices Bill.” @DerryBanShee in @Telegraph

This may be one of the best explanations of male depression that I’ve ever heard. This is explains why guys are suicidal and their friends, parents, and/or wives don’t even know it. This is also why a man can be married with kids, great job, etc. & feel lonely & depressed.
Look! Marvel at this Tory minister’s arrogant ignorance as he blew up another vital part of our country’s infrastructure.
Why was Alok Sharma allowed to engage in such vandalism in plain sight?
The net zero cult and the all-powerful Climate Change Committee.
Blackouts incoming…
The Death Bed by Siegfried Sassoon
He drowsed and was aware of silence heaped
Round him, unshaken as the steadfast walls;
Aqueous like floating rays of amber light,
Soaring and quivering in the wings of sleep.
Silence and safety; and his mortal shore
Lipped by the inward, moonless waves of death.
Someone was holding water to his mouth.
He swallowed, unresisting; moaned and dropped
Through crimson gloom to darkness; and forgot
The opiate throb and ache that was his wound.
Water—calm, sliding green above the weir;
Water—a sky-lit alley for his boat,
Bird-voiced, and bordered with reflected flowers
And shaken hues of summer: drifting down,
He dipped contented oars, and sighed, and slept.
Night, with a gust of wind, was in the ward,
Blowing the curtain to a glimmering curve.
Night. He was blind; he could not see the stars
Glinting among the wraiths of wandering cloud;
Queer blots of colour, purple, scarlet, green,
Flickered and faded in his drowning eyes.
Rain—he could hear it rustling through the dark;
Fragrance and passionless music woven as one;
Warm rain on drooping roses; pattering showers
That soak the woods; not the harsh rain that sweeps
Behind the thunder, but a trickling peace,
Gently and slowly washing life away.
He stirred, shifting his body; then the pain
Leaped like a prowling beast, and gripped and tore
His groping dreams with grinding claws and fangs.
But someone was beside him; soon he lay
Shuddering because that evil thing had passed.
And death, who'd stepped toward him, paused and stared.
Light many lamps and gather round his bed.
Lend him your eyes, warm blood, and will to live.
Speak to him; rouse him; you may save him yet.
He's young; he hated war; how should he die
When cruel old campaigners win safe through?
But death replied: “I choose him.” So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns.
A big thank you to Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan veteran…former Defence Secretary and current Minister of State for Security @DanJarvisMBE for taking the time to highlight the fundraiser for homeless veterans https://t.co/ORuIdCFh0r on @GBNEWS - £750k raised so far
Spent yesterday reading testimonies from women which really made me angry - so many made to feel bad and wrong for doing what's best for them and their babies. So today I am determined to remember the good - like how bottle feeding not only kept my kids alive but allowed my family to participate in one of life's greatest pleasures.
The real crisis, Miatta, is the cost of living crisis caused by the highest energy bills in the developed world.
As a result of your government’s insane net zero policies.
Truly shameful - to impoverish the British people in pursuit of windmills.
Don’t leave it to someone else to submit your concerns about the dangerous Conversion Practices Bill.
There’s strength in numbers and we all share a responsibility to speak up.
