Taxpayers have funded two new helicopters for the Royal Family, whereas mountain rescue for their helicopters have to raise money through charitable efforts.
Now, is that right, in the 21st century? - Lord George Foulkes.
....
NOW, BRITISH TAXPAYERS IS THAT RIGHT, IN THE 21st CENTURY?
You would expect that a smaller royal family would result in less money from taxpayers, but that is not the case; the royal family is receiving more money than ever from taxpayers.
When the royal family was larger, it was cheaper. Fact.

In a disturbing development, on Oct 14th, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, filed a law suit against Netanyahu, alleging the latter had received no less than twenty warnings of the precise character and of the approximate date of the Hamas attack. Formerly, nine warnings were cited in YNet, Ha'aretz and Maariv. It has now become increasingly unreasonable not to suppose that Netanyahu was a complicit actor in the Hamas attack, an organisation he had funded, directly and indirectly, for almost twenty years, and about which he possessed precise internal intelligence. Thus Netanyahu could not only have prevented the attack, but now appears to have been proactively enabling the attack, to manufacture a pretext to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while simultaneously using the attack to disrupt charges supported by three hundred witnesses that Netanyahu had presided over a twenty year reign of corruption, gangster-like coercion, malfeasance and repeated breaches of international law.
This is Jennifer Gerber. She was @AndyBurnham’s principal adviser during his 3 ministerial roles from 2007-10
After Labour lost the 2010 election, she became executive director of Israeli embassy front group "Labour Friends of Israel" (LFI). She would stay in the role for a decade, playing a leading role in the campaign to destroy pro-Palestinian Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn from 2015-19
Gerber is still listed as a director of LFI on Companies House
Andy Burnham was funded by LFI and Israeli Foreign Ministry in 2004 to go on a propaganda tour of Israel. The then chair of LFI was James Purnell. Burnham recently appointed Purnell as his chief of staff in No 10
At the LFI leadership hustings in 2015, Burnham said that Israel would be the first place he visited if he won the Labour leadership race. The year after, Burnham joined LFI
The lobby has the whole political class sewn up
This is chilling. I feel for anyone watching this tonight who is frightened to see such racism and hatred festering in their community.
It's the very worst of what we’re seeing in Trump’s America. We can’t let it become Farage’s Britain.
Have I got this right?
I voted Leave not because I’d done research into the undemocratic and arrogant way the EU over-ruled votes by member countries.
Not because I’d come to the conclusion I didn’t want my country shackled to a corrupt, sclerotic, socialist bloc.
But because I was told to vote Brexit by a Russian bot?
BREAKING: The Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay.

You know that feeling when you book a flight for 50 quid and somehow it ends up costing 100?
Getting seats together, correcting a typo, another charge here and there, it all adds up.
When the cost of living is already squeezing people, those endless extras can feel relentless.
So we're changing the rules for you.
Parents won't need to pay a penny extra just to sit next to their own children.
You'll be able to fix any name errors on your booking free of charge.
And because the last thing you want once you're on the plane is more stress, we're working with the industry to make sure that disruptive passengers who have been banned from one airline can be banned from flying with other airlines too.
I know holidays are expensive and these are small things, but hopefully they'll make your trip just that little bit cheaper and easier.
That's exactly the kind of thing I want this government to keep on fixing.
This image that is circulating now on social media shows what childhood is like in Palestine. A child returning from school, hiding in fear when he sees an Israeli military car. Palestinian children deserve better than this. We’re tired of living in fear. We’re tired of fearing for our children every time they go back home from school. When will this end?
Hear Professor #NormanFinkelstein.
> #Netanyahu is the perfect reflection of #Israeli society. He’s a corrupt obnoxious self-righteous #Jewish Supremacist. When they see him they see themselves.
> #Israel has a citizen army that commits #Genocide & is a nation of #ChildKILLERS!
🚨 A Palestinian mom was shot point blank in her head by IDF soldiers while she was carrying her child.😡😡
Retweet and expose Israel if you have a little Humanity left in you‼️
He's a failed actor, ex-lib-dem member who changed his name and told women he could make their breasts bigger using hypnotherapy. How many more clues do you need? The word 'charlatan' tattooed on his forehead? #ZackPolanski
King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
Like if he needs a pay cut.

UNANIMOUSLY NOT GUILTY: A major victory for free speech and solidarity at the Old Bailey.
Student activist Sarah (of the SOAS 2) has been fully acquitted by a jury after facing prosecution for speaking in support of Palestine.
Speaking outside court, Sarah described the verdict as an incredible boost of morale for the entire movement:
“My case has proved that we have the right to defend the Palestinian people... and that what we’ve shown here today is that speaking about Palestinian resistance is not the same as supporting terrorism. When you stick to your principles, the people united will never be defeated.”
The trial saw prosecutors download entire phone records and scrutinize private messages between friends and family, yet failed to produce evidence of illegality—Sarah never once expressed support for Hamas. Instead, this case exposed the ongoing efforts to criminalize dissent, surveil young activists, and silence legitimate advocacy under international law.
Today’s verdict sends a resounding message: solidarity is not a crime.
