How I wish the prophecy of "international chaos" hadn't come true...

[Benonwine @benonwine]

If the right honourable gentleman is suggesting that we ever get to a position where we cannot return illegal immigrants to their country of origin, then he is proposing international chaos.

Absobloodylutely. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I don't see how expecting people to speak the language of the country is either intimidating or demonising them. In a demanding & stressful environment such as working in a prison, I would have thought that having fluency in English would have been an important requirement.

[Jake Richards MP @JakeBenRichards]

I answered this question.

Many foreign nationals do incredible work in our public services - whether it’s our prisons, our NHS or our schools.

I thank them for their service, and reject attempts to intimidate or demonise them.

BEACON ALERT: MISSING VETERAN

Garath Perkins, 46, has been reported missing, and there are serious concerns for his welfare.

He was last seen on Friday (7/11) in the Resolven area of South Wales. Although Garath lives in Llandysul, it is believed he may still be in the Neath/Resolven area.

Garath has a tattoo of a dragon on the side of his head, long grey hair, and a long beard, and he may be walking with a stick. He is usually seen wearing a camouflage jacket. His vehicle remains at home, and he is not believed to have access to other transport.

Anyone with information regarding Garath’s whereabouts is asked to contact Dyfed Powys police on 101/999 (reference number TBC).

Absolutely nothing. He's just being true to himself rather than being the man society says he should be. Inner peace is extremely important. ❤️

[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

Each year, as the eleventh day of the eleventh month dawns, a sacred silence falls upon Westminster Abbey.

And here, He lies beneath the ancient stones of England’s heart — nameless, ageless, and eternal. Around Him, the Abbey breathes its quiet prayers, and every echo of its bells carries the pulse of a nation’s soul.
No name is carved upon His stone, for His name is legion. He is the son of every mother who waited in vain, the beloved of every sweetheart who wept by an empty hearth, the brother whose laughter fell silent in a faraway field.
He is the embodiment of sacrifice — a man who gave everything, yet kept nothing, not even His name.

In His stillness, He speaks for millions who have no voice. Through Him, the lost are remembered; through Him, grief finds its shape; through Him, the story of courage is told again and again, without words, without end.
Now He rests, cloaked in the silence of eternity, yet His presence fills the Abbey like a living prayer.

Every Footstep that passes, every poppy laid upon His grave, is an act of remembrance.
He is not forgotten, for He is all of them.
