@spudd1ver@ABridgen My own personal experience is at variance with these principles. There is considerable ageism is the NHS and differential care for women. Many Doctors do harm by neglect or failing to provide treatment. Please don't put the medical profession on a pedestal.
@ichimikichiki@ABridgen This is the most deranged comment ever.
WTF has Israel to do with Bridgen and Hancock.
There are seriously obsessed cultists in the world!
Did Israel exist before the Holocaust?
As Wes Streeting is claiming the Chagos deal is not dead, and the Foreign, Commonwealth
& Development Office is continuing to implement the treaty as if it has been ratified, it's time to repost the following.
1982,🏝️Project Chagos begins when Mauritius sets up a select committee to look into the potential vast mineral wealth in the Chagos Archipelago's seabed.
2003, leading international lawyer Sir Ian Brownlie is officially appointed advisor by Mauritius for Chagos.
2009, Brownlie leads a Mauritius delegation in bilateral talks at the Foreign Office in London.
2010, Philippe Sands QC becomes counsel to Mauritius for Chagos after Brownlie dies in a motor accident in Egypt.
2O13, Sands' good friend, Keir Starmer QC, visits Mauritius and discusses the future of the Chagos islands with prime minister Navin Ramgoolam. The meeting ends with the men in agreement.
2015, Ramgoolam is arrested on money-laundering charges.
The same year, Starmer is elected to Parliament for first time.
2019, Sands obtains an International Court of Justice ruling (advisory opinion only, and non-binding) that the Chagos islands should be given to Mauritius.
Sands uses the ICJ ruling as leverage in the following years in his efforts to persuade the Conservative government to give Chagos to Mauritius.
2020, Starmer becomes Labour Party leader.
2021, Sands receives Mauritius' top honour, The Most Distinguished Order of the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean.
2022, Sands makes an unauthorized entry into the Chagos Archipelago for a flag-raising ceremony. Sands tweets at the time, “It’s morning on Chagos, where the flag of Mauritius flies."
2023, Sands becomes Mauritius citizen, but retains his British and French citizenships.
🟥In November 2023 David Cameron takes over as Foreign Secretary from James Cleverly, and bins a deal saying, it's not in the national interest, as reported in Hansard.
2024, Starmer becomes UK Prime Minister in July, and overlooks his shadow Attorney General, Emily Thornberry, to appoint his old friend and fellow human-rights lawyer Richard Hermer. But he has to break with tradition by giving Hermer a peerage, so he can sit in the House Of Lords, and be part of the government.
In the early months of his premiership, Starmer makes the controversial former Downing Street Chief Of Staff for Tony Blair, Jonathan Powel, his special envoy for Chagos.
In early October 2024, just ten weeks after becoming PM, Keir Starmer agrees a deal with Mauritius, despite there having been no mention of Chagos during the election campaign, and the pledge in Labour's manifesto to protect the BOT.
Also in October 2024, Powell tells Times Radio in an interview, “These are very tiny islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean where no one actually goes. So I don’t think we should be too worried about losing that bit of territory. We’re probably losing more to tidal erosion in the East Coast than that.”
Powell fails to mention the territorial waters and marine protection zone of 64,000 square miles, and Mauritius getting full ownership of all the mineral rights for an area about the size of France
In November 2024, Starmer appoints Powell as his National Security Advisor.
In December 2024, Starmer makes yet another extremely controversial appointment in Peter "friend of Epstein" Mandelson as his US Ambassador.
Powell and Mandelson brief the White House over Chagos, and claim the UK has to give the archipelago to Mauritius because of international law. However, they assure the Americans that their military base on Diego Garcia is unaffected, as the UK has arranged a 99-year lease on the island.
Those assurances have now been proven to be worthless.
2025, In January Lord Hermer recuses himself from signing off on the Chagos deal. The AG's office refuse to give details of why.
In late February 2025, Mauritius’ former Prime Minister, Pravind Jugnauth, who was in office when Starmer became PM, and was heavily involved in discussions about the Chagos deal before being replaced by Navin Ramgoolam in November, was arrested on money laundering charges after Mauritius' anti-corruption agency said it had seized suitcases of cash and luxury watches in raids on 10 locations, including Jugnauth’s home.
In August 2025, Starmer is referred to the statistics' watchdog for misleading claims over the cost of the Chagos deal.
Many other claims are made during the year that Starmer had repeatedly "lied" about the true costs of the deal. There are even accusations that Starmer ordered his officials to announce misleadingly low figures.
@SuellaBraverman Speaking as a retired teacher, the 'long march' began in Western universities in the late 60s, 50 years of graduates gradually capturing all the professions, esp teaching. A reformation of school curricula, teacher training and the university sector is a matter of urgency.
@SuellaBraverman National Education Union of Teachers must be prosecuted in court as they should not be teaching politics to children in the classroom!
It is against British law!
As a British dad, I’m 100% with Suella Braverman on this. The NEU just passed motions at conference branding Reform UK “racist, fascist and far-right,” then pledged to use its half-a-million teachers and union resources to campaign against the party in classrooms and “stop a Reform government.” That’s not education – it’s straight-up political indoctrination.
Look at what’s happened to our schools. They’ve swapped roles with us parents. Teachers now decide what our kids are allowed to hear on Gaza, deportations, gender, and “anti-racist” guilt-tripping about Britain’s history. Meanwhile we’re stuck at the kitchen table every evening doing the actual teaching – maths, English, times tables – like it’s homework.
Our children are being taught to be ashamed of who they are and where they come from. Enough. If we want them brought up proud, balanced and properly educated, more of us need to think seriously about homeschooling. It’s the only way to keep politics out and give them the decent, fact-based start every British kid deserves.
This week the National Education Union has vowed to stop a Reform government- by urging its 500,000 teacher members to campaign against Reform in the classroom.
This is not education. It’s indoctrination.
And it’s against the law.
My wife Lisa died in 2021
Her death was caused by the AZ vaccine
For families like mine, whether bereaved or injured, this report on vaccines & therapeutics matters deeply
It’s a chance to be heard, to understand, and prevent others going through the same pain

@teamstar80@AMH_Andrew@AllisonPearson Don't be a sexist patriarchal pig. That 6% was a guaranteed vote in many areas. Higher voting percentage by religion than most apathetic native voters. It's not 6% of 100%, more like 6% of 45% especially in part sof London, the Midlands and the North. Regional blocks of votes
@MiltonicMindset@AllisonPearson You forget that ships in the Strait were attacked before the war by Iranian proxies. It's was never safe. You have short memories because you hate Trump more than the truth.
Shipping wasn't safe!
Until Iran's ability to fund proxies is destroyed there will never be anywhere safe
@JonaWalk In the UK those in the medical profession were told not to say anything. Gagged. Even today it is very hard for Doctors to admit vaccine injury. Most simply will not engage unless the injury was immediately post vaccination.
There's a lack of curiosity.
