Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities

But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?

🚨🇬🇧 A man in Bolton allegedly tried to burn down the home of a local Imam while his young family were inside.

Not shouted abuse. Not a nasty tweet. Not “concerns about immigration.” A man in a motorbike helmet tried to set fire to a Muslim family’s home with children inside.

And this is exactly why Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is so dangerous.

When you tell angry crowds that Britain’s towns are being taken over by “Pakistani Muslims,” “race gangs,” and hostile minorities; when you take a murder with no Muslim connection and deliberately drag Muslims into it; when you tell people they are under attack in their own country - you are not “just asking questions.”

You are painting a target on innocent people.

Tommy Robinson does not need to personally hand someone a petrol can for his rhetoric to matter. This is how incitement works in the real world. You create the enemy. You repeat the lie. You tell people they are victims of a conspiracy. Then some coward in a helmet decides an Imam’s family home is a legitimate target.

That is not patriotism.

That is fascist politics: collective punishment, racial paranoia, religious hatred, and violence against innocent families for the supposed crimes of people they have never met.

If this Bolton attack is confirmed, it should be treated with the full seriousness it deserves: an alleged attempt to burn a Muslim family alive in their own home.

And every politician, pundit and “free speech” grifter who has spent years demonising Muslims should be asked one simple question:

How many more homes have to burn before you admit what your words are doing?

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community.

Will you join over 106,000 women and add your name to the list?

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. I am visiting China this week in a personal capacity as a supportive son.

Normal people visit their mothers in a personal capacity. Normal people attend funerals in a personal capacity. I do it beside sixteen CEOs, five billionaires worth $870 billion, and a 500-aircraft Boeing order being finalized with Beijing during the trip. Goldman Sachs. Citigroup. Mastercard. Visa. Tim Cook. Larry Fink. Stephen Schwarzman.

In a personal capacity.

I am also the Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin. My qualifications for this role include mowing lawns on my father's golf courses, laying tile at his properties, and serving as a boardroom judge on The Apprentice from 2010 to 2015. I have no documented experience in cryptocurrency, blockchain, or Bitcoin mining. My stake in American Bitcoin alone was worth $548 million by September 2025 — eight months into my father's second term.

We purchased 16,000 Bitmain mining rigs for $314 million. Bitmain is Chinese. Bitmain is headquartered in Beijing. Beijing is where I am visiting in a personal capacity. In March we bought 11,298 more. The terms were "unusual" — hundreds of millions in equipment for "future considerations." I'm not sure what "future considerations" means in this context, especially when your father sets the tariff rate on your supplier's home country. I can tell you it is not a "conflict of interest." It is a "supply chain relationship."

On May 12, the day I boarded this plane, my father announced a trade agreement with China. Tariffs on Chinese goods dropped from 145 percent to 30 percent. That is a 115-point reduction on the country that manufactures my equipment, announced the same day I flew there. I did not know. I did not ask. I did not need to ask.

My family owns 60 percent of World Liberty Financial. We receive 75 percent of every token sold. The New Yorker's running total is $4.2 billion. Politico documented $12.9 billion in trading volume. Let me tell you about our team.

My brother Barron is our "DeFi visionary." He was eighteen years old. His prior experience is being tall.

My brother Don is "Web3 Ambassador." His prior experience is selling condos and shooting elephants.

I handle "strategic planning." My prior experience is tile.

My brother-in-law Jared received $2 billion from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund six months after leaving the White House. The fund's own advisory panel flagged his "lack of private equity experience" and called the due diligence results "unsatisfactory." They gave him the money anyway.

My sister Ivanka received Chinese government approval for 16 trademarks during my father's first term. The categories included handbags, sunglasses, perfume, baby blankets, and voting machines. Voting machines. From China. While her father was president. That is not "corruption." That is "brand diversification."

My father spent four years on Hunter Biden. Four years. The charge: Hunter sat on the board of Burisma for $83,000 a month with no energy experience. My father called it the greatest corruption in American political history. He withheld $391 million in military aid to Ukraine to pressure an investigation. He was impeached for it. He did it again. A special counsel was appointed. Total cost to taxpayers: millions. Total Hunter earnings: $11 million over five years.

Let me do the math my father never did.

Hunter Biden made $6,027 per day. My family makes $8.75 million per day. That is 1,451 times Hunter's rate. We earn his entire five-year scandal every thirty hours.

Hunter had no energy experience. I have no crypto experience. Hunter sat on one board. I run the operation. Hunter met one banker for a coffee. I sit on Air Force One beside $870 billion negotiating with the country that manufactures my equipment.

But here is the part that makes me proud.

We launched a cryptocurrency in my father's name. It peaked at $73. It trades today at $2.43. Retail investors lost 95 percent of their money. We collected $400 million in transaction fees regardless of price. We hosted a dinner — the top 220 holders gained entry by holding enough of my father's coin. The top 29 received a champagne toast with the President of the United States. Price of admission: approximately $3.28 million in tokens. A public school teacher earns $3.28 million in 47 years. We call that "community engagement." Not "selling access." Access is what Hunter Biden sold for a cup of coffee.

Three days before I boarded this plane to Beijing, our team moved $12 million in memecoin assets to custody platforms. Routine. Unrelated. Everything is unrelated to everything.

In a personal capacity.

On January 24, 2025 — four days after the inauguration — my father fired seventeen inspectors general in a single night. Without explanation. Without notice to Congress. Seventeen. The people whose job is to look. He removed them all at once and no one replaced them. There is no inspector general for a son's "personal capacity." There is no disclosure form for love. There is no ethics office for a champagne toast priced at $3.28 million. He didn't bend the guardrails. He fired the people who hold them.

He built that. I fly in on it. $4.2 billion at cruising altitude. Every thirty hours, another Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden got a special counsel for a cup of coffee and a board seat that paid less per month than one champagne toast with my father costs per million.

I am the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. I am the Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin. I am the Web3 strategic planner at World Liberty Financial. I am visiting the country that manufactures my mining rigs, approved my sister's trademarks, and funds my brother-in-law's private equity firm, on a plane beside $870 billion and a president who spent four years calling $11 million treason.

In a personal capacity. As a supportive son.

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

Here stands Nigel Farage, not in the realm of speculation, but confronted by a sequence of events that demands proper scrutiny. The reported £5 million donation from the Far East does not sit in isolation, nor does the wider suggestion of a far larger sum, said to be in the region of £12 million, directed towards Reform UK. Once again, the pattern points towards the influence of immense wealth operating beyond the immediate reach of the electorate.

What Newsnight has demonstrated, to its credit, is that careful examination still has a place within the BBC. The timeline is not ambiguous. In 2024, Nigel Farage declared that he would not stand for office. Within a matter of days, that position was reversed, and his candidacy was confirmed.

That shift is not merely political theatre; it carries formal obligations. Parliamentary rules are neither vague nor optional. Financial interests of this nature must be declared, recorded, and made transparent within clearly defined periods. These are not suggestions; they are requirements designed to protect public trust. On any plain reading of the sequence, those obligations do not appear to have been fulfilled.

Public protestations of legal compliance do not, in themselves, settle the matter. The distinction between what may be technically lawful and what is procedurally required in Parliament is well understood. The rules governing Members’ interests exist precisely to prevent ambiguity, not to invite it.

In such circumstances, the expectation must be that this issue is placed before the appropriate scrutiny mechanisms of the House. There is precedent for referral when questions of compliance arise, and consistency demands that such standards are applied evenly, irrespective of party or personality.

This is no fleeting controversy. It is a test of whether the standards that govern public life are upheld when they are most inconvenient. The facts are there, the sequence is documented, and the rules are clear. What follows now will speak not only to one individual, but to the integrity of the system itself.
