With the all important by-election in Gorton & Denton, the Greens have pulled out all the stops. From recreating what they think a working class person's living room looks like, to smear campaigns in Urdu, it's a wonder Hannah Spencer even has time for a brew

“Integration & multiculturalism have failed in this country….diversity is not our strength it’s our weakness.”

Watch as #bbcqt panellist Esther Krakue brilliantly torches the false cultural edifice that the political & media Blob have forced on us for years.

Her point is that a multi-ethnic society can work. But a multi-cultural one doesn’t.

I bet they won’t invite her back!

“But the furore over the matter has exposed the vicious underbelly of many in an industry which chants the mantra of diversity and kindness.

It seems that there are limits to those characteristics, and a hierarchy in which some folk are less equal than others.

John Davidson’s neurological disability comes down the pecking order it seems.

Only an industry located so firmly up its own backside could gather to honour a film illustrating the grim realities facing someone living with Tourette’s and then be so publicly aggrieved when the actuality of that illness – and the involuntary nature of its effects on those suffering from it – reveals itself in their midst.”

This is wonderful. @KonstantinKisin absolutely ROASTS Labour for mass uncontrolled migration and calling everyone racist who disagrees.

Extremely satisfying to watch 🔥

Pathetic.

Wow! I’ve never seen Zak Crawley get out like that before!

They just don't get it, do they? It would have been one thing had they been criticizing Martinez's performances. They weren't criticizing that. They were mocking his height. They were talking stuff about Haaland picking him up like a toddler and running with him or throwing him into the net. Don't they see how that crosses a line and how disrespectful that was?

Imagine it is 1995 and a former Utd player had just said, "That Scholes kid better have some other job lined up. He cannot even breathe properly; how will he be able to run? Tony Adams is going to pick him up and throw him into the net."

That's below the belt, and you don't do that to another player, let alone a player of the team you claimed to support. Alan Hansen wasn't a former Utd player, and he wasn't singling out individual players for their physical shortcomings either.

There is a space for constructive criticism, of course, but what they are doing is punching down on another player, and it's just not acceptable.

They will now, of course, be hate-watching Martinez for the rest of the season and jump on him the moment he has a bad game. Pathetic

[Dylan McBennett @DylanMcbennett7]

Ex-Players are really really annoying me. You publicly slated him, unprovoked, without doing research about how he’s played against Haaland in recent games, before a Manchester derby when you SHOULD be supporting your own. #MUFC

💣£95/MWh in 2025 prices locked in for offshore wind. Until 2045.

💥The market price for gas power is ~£55/MWh. Markets expect this to come down further.

It’s just not credible to claim gas is what’s making our power expensive. Not credible at all.

There is a line between diplomacy and self-harm. Britain is about to cross it.

The revelation that China's proposed London "super-embassy" includes a concealed underground chamber built within a metre of the fibre-optic cables carrying the City of London's financial data should have ended the project instantly. No debate. No mitigation. No spin. A hard stop. Instead, Keir Starmer is expected to approve it anyway, just days before flying to Beijing to meet Xi Jinping. That decision would not be naïve. It would be knowing.

This is no longer about a routine embassy or even traditional espionage. The unredacted plans show a hidden underground complex of more than 200 rooms, one of them positioned directly alongside the cables that form the nervous system of Britain's economy. These fibres carry banking transactions, market data, corporate communications, and the everyday financial activity of millions of people. They link the City, Canary Wharf, the London Internet Exchange, and transatlantic routes to the United States. This is the bloodstream.

The chamber is not incidental. It is concealed. Its wall is to be demolished and rebuilt beside the cables. It is fitted with hot-air extraction systems consistent with heat-intensive computing. China fought to keep these details redacted from public view and only scrutiny by journalists has dragged them into the light. That alone tells you the truth. Benign infrastructure does not hide itself.

If this were Russia, the answer would already be no. If it were Iran, the suggestion would be laughed out of Whitehall. Yet because it is China, the Government reaches for euphemisms. "Mitigations." "Security assurances." "Normal diplomatic activity." These are words used when leaders want to avoid saying what they know to be obvious.

What is being offered here is not access to ministers or gossip from Westminster. It is something far more valuable. Economic intelligence. Market visibility. Data proximity. The ability to observe flows, model behaviour, and potentially disrupt systems in ways that never announce themselves as attacks. This is modern power. Quiet. Persistent. Deniable.

Approving this site would hand Beijing a permanent platform for economic leverage at the heart of Britain's financial infrastructure. Not after defeat. Not after coercion. Voluntarily, as a gesture of goodwill ahead of a diplomatic visit.

At that point, motive matters less than responsibility. Even if no cable is ever tapped, the act itself is the failure. A government that knowingly places hostile-state infrastructure beside its most sensitive economic arteries is no longer protecting the country. It is gambling with it.

This decision does not stand alone. It completes a pattern. The Royal Navy retreats from the Indo-Pacific. Britain gives up its strategic foothold in the Indian Ocean. And now China is invited to dig in beneath London itself. Britain is withdrawing from the world while allowing a rival power to embed at home.

Starmer will call this realism. It isn't. It is submission masquerading as competence. Realism knows that some risks are absolute, some sites are off-limits, and diplomacy does not require self-exposure. There was a time when Britain refused to bow even when China demanded ritual submission. Today there is no ceremony, no kowtow – just planning permission, poured concrete, and the quiet acceptance that economic sovereignty is negotiable.

This is the red line. Once built, it cannot be undone. Once access exists, it never truly closes. And once Britain signals that even its financial core is negotiable, no promise can restore what is lost. A state that cannot say no here is not practising diplomacy but surrendering leverage, and a country that trades its economic nervous system for smooth relations has already begun to live on borrowed time.

"Approving this site would hand Beijing a permanent platform for economic leverage at the heart of Britain's financial infrastructure."

Insane. What the fuck is the British government doing!?

Can’t genuinely believe we live in a day and age where the government is protecting shagging your cousin. Legalised incest, fucked up beyond belief.

Finally someone on the UK’s Hard Left has something to say about Iran. Sadly it wasn’t worth the wait.
It takes a particularly warped mind, as Iranians are being massacred in the streets by an evil regime, to drag in America and Israel as the bad guys — while letting Tehran’s repressive masters off lightly.
Not a word of encouragement for the protesters risking their lives, not an ounce of solidarity for Iranian women struggling to win the most basic human rights.
Shameful. Simply shameful.

[Scott Saunders @__scottsaunders]

He’d go in there and fix Man Utd though like he said a while back. Now he’s slating his players who aren’t playing and getting knocked out of the cup by Wrexham.

Easy to chat when you’re not in the hot seat eh

[Rhodri Giggs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @rodjamesgiggs]

But Gary and Jaime know better looking in from the outside. These people above are clueless and making this club a joke.

[🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎯 @_WokeNonsenseFC]

What Littler and his retarded fans need to realise is that the crowd weren’t against him personally they just wanted the underdog to win which is what fans have done for decades and decades

Did MVG ever throw his toys out the pram when fans wanted the underdog to win against him? No

And all this bullshit about “but but but he’s only 18” yeah mate last time I checked 18 was classed as an adult so fans have every right to go after him, if you’re old enough to throw at the oche then you’re old enough to hold smoke it’s as simple as that

Using age as an excuse just removes all accountability
