@BarryHavenhand @visit_taunton @GideonJAmos @SomersetCouncil @BillRevans @SomConfidential Barry … are your sceptical questions reasons for not taking action?

[Kit Chapman MBE @Kit_Chapman]

For years businesses around Castle Green in @visit_taunton have been calling for a Public Safety Protection Order here. @GideonJAmos MP, police, both local councils, ALL agree. Yet the Head of Community Safety at @SomersetCouncil still prevaricates. @BillRevans @SomConfidential

Absolutely brilliant from Kemi Badenoch.

Nice push back against one of the ‘journalists’.

[🎼🌺Music Love♥️ @ThoNg676733]

It is hard to believe that Vivaldi died penniless, even after composing masterpieces like this.

[Kit Chapman MBE @Kit_Chapman]

Seriously, @montie … are you not harbouring a few doubts about your switch to @reformparty_uk now that you can see what @KemiBadenoch is achieving with the @Conservatives ?

The book was published in 1989 by Pyramid Books.
I send my deepest condolences to Ian’s wife and family. RIP my good friend.

* @Caterertweets Ian McAndrew was a great chef and one of the leading pioneers in the renaissance of British gastronomy in the 1980s. He featured in Volume 1 of my two-book series Great British Chefs.

@SomConfidential @Guythegrape @SeanDromgoole @BarryHavenhand @susannahmh @bryn_thompson @LizzieBiggs1 This was fabulous. A life-affirming piece of music - vigorous and joyful. I’d give it a high Haydn-approval rating.

@sabaone Good morning, Sabina. Now tell us the provenance of that beautiful and exotic tray?

One of the most energetic ensemble scenes from the ballet Zorba the Greek features male dancers in traditional costumes performing the sirtaki with synchronized, precise, and spirited movements on stage.

Inspired by the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis and featuring music by Mikis Theodorakis, the dance has become an artistic expression closely associated with the joyful, free-spirited, and life-affirming character of Greek culture.

Sensible chap. But then @UKLabour @andyburnham @10DowningStreet don’t do common sense.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Simon Jordan speaks for millions of people who are concerned about the number of illegal migrants. It does not make him or those concerned about illegal migration a racist. Far from it. It’s time for this issue to be properly discussed and addressed.

[Kit Chapman MBE @Kit_Chapman]

We hear cries of despair from @BrewhouseLive @visit_taunton - threatened again with closure. 50 years ago, the theatre opened thanks to the vision and drive of councillors like John Meikle. Where is that leadership today? @SomersetCouncil @CountyGazetteEd @DanielMumby ?

[Kit Chapman MBE @Kit_Chapman]

The country sees it. We cry out in despair. But our cloth-eared rulers don’t.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Britain is facing its greatest threat since World War II. The decline and decay is happening everywhere.

The greatest threat since 1945 is not tanks or bombs. It is the quiet, accelerating decay of a country that has forgotten how to build, how to grow, how to maintain, how to be secure and how to tell the truth about itself.

Streets dirtier. Services slower.
Ambition punished. Borders treated as optional. Energy policy that treats abundance as a sin. A political class that cycles through leaders with no vision while the foundations keep crumbling.

A nation that once stood alone now struggles to stand at all. That is the real emergency.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

And it’s not just Britain. The decline is happening right across the West.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

It’s worth reading this brilliant article by @matthewsyed in the Sunday Times on how so many “hyperliberal” political leaders are the “true extremists of our age” and “defined by the tenets of wokeism” via net zero zealotry, trans ideology and open border illegal migration.

“I believe history will judge the likes of Cameron, Johnson, Trudeau, Hollande, Macron and von der Leyen as the most disastrous in postwar history.”

He says this as an old school liberal. He’s absolutely correct.

Here was a great leader of our country. Today we are governed by muppets.

[The Grocer's Daughter @Thatcheritage]

"I can’t bear Britain in decline. I just can’t."

[Kit Chapman MBE @Kit_Chapman]

Plain simple common sense …

[The Spectator @spectator]

'I have never yet heard of an economy being taxed into prosperity. I have never heard of a poor person spending himself into wealth.'

Economist Arthur Laffer explains why he believes Britain has a 'totally dysfunctional' tax system.
