Friend to many a Matelot! Now a proud Royal Navy veteran.

Bit strange that more people are on disability benefits now than at the end of WW2. That's 81 years of socialism for you.

JUST IN: 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera:

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain.

Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

[Jennifer Thetford-Kay @JenKteach]

Britain’s oldest regiment has had enough. 🫡
The Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals & Life Guards); one of the most historic units in the British Army, has joined a growing revolt against Keir Starmer’s government.
Their Regimental Association is urging veterans and serving soldiers to oppose the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, warning it is “unfit for purpose” and “fails the very veterans it claims to protect.”

This bill seeks to repeal the previous Legacy Act and leaves soldiers who served in the Troubles facing retrospective investigations under different legal standards; the European Convention on Human Rights instead of the law of armed conflict they operated under at the time.

Over 200,000 people have signed a petition against it. Veterans’ Commissioners from Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland have spoken out. Even former Armed Forces Minister Al Carns resigned, stating in his letter: “It risks failing the very veterans it claims to protect. Men and women I served with… who did their duty under conditions most in Westminster will never have to imagine.”

These are the men who risked their lives for this country in one of the most difficult operations in modern history. They deserve protection, not persecution decades later.
No more betrayal. Honour the covenant.

Our veterans didn’t ask for much. They stepped up when their country needed them; they served with honour under the rules of the day.

We owe them fairness.
We owe them protection from endless retrospective investigations.
We owe them dignity in their later years.
To every veteran who served in Northern Ireland and beyond: thank you. Your service will never be forgotten. We stand with you. Always.

Nicely complied and all in one place.👏👏

Labour and lefty hypocrisy, they will simply ignore.🤡

Entertaining the troops. Health and safety wasn’t paramount in 1975

🔥 KEMI BADENOCH ABSOLUTELY TORCHES THE ENTIRE LABOUR PARTY!

In one of the most brutal moments at PMQs, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch ripped into the backstabbing Parliamentary Labour Party for knifing their own Prime Minister:

“It’s amazing, I’ve never seen this much excitement on the Labour benches. Cheering so loudly while their 400 knives stuck in his back! Shame on them!”

While Starmer’s own MPs cheered his political demise, Badenoch laid bare the hypocrisy and chaos of a party that has turned on itself.

Kemi just said what everyone was thinking.

Shameless hypocrites the lot of them.

[Rt Hon Nadine Dorries @NadineDorries]

I agree with Angela.
It’s time for a general election.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

BREAKING: Keir Starmer cries as he resigns as UK Prime Minister. Sad end to a dismal tenure. Never seen such a big election win end in such abject failure so fast. Bottom line: he wanted power but didn’t know how to lead the country.
He was the ultimate man without a plan.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

@Keir_Starmer @AndyBurnhamGM Lol. The hope and optimism being that you finally fuck off.

@_MartinKelly_ Hi Martin. I fired warning shots hundreds of times in the northern gulf and I can assure you, our process was logical, scalable and lethal if necessary. A warship that fires across a yacht doing 6 knots at 500 yards is not a well run ship.

[Chris Parry @DrChrisParry]

Totally ridiculous.

‘Power gives way to sail’ and you don’t use live rounds when you have a siren and a radio - and flares.

Don’t be so naive.

[Tony S 🇬🇮 🇬🇧 @Tony457s]

@wrightdi @Hantsprints @IllustriousAsso RIP the tractor tug! 😂

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Country being held ransom by a dribbling sunshine bus of Labour MPs who would rather spend a third of a trillion on benefits for foreigners than an extra pound on defending what's left of the country.

[Navy Lookout @NavyLookout]

Welcome the next captain of the Titanic. Former Army officer, @DanJarvisMBE becomes the new Secretary of State for Defence.

His main task will be explaining why the government is unwilling to fund its own Defence Review.

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

Worst-ever Chancellor Rachel Thieves ( including Lamont) is briefing that Healey was suggesting schools and hospital budgets be cut to pay for defence.
That’s crap.
Abandon Net Zero ( estimated £15-30bn) and we’d have all the bombs and bullets required.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

When even a man who swerved a vote on prosecuting veterans resigns, you must know you're in trouble.

[Chris Parry @DrChrisParry]

If you don't get Defence right, you don't get to make choices about schools and hospitals.

Ask the Ukrainians.

Pitiful and strategically illiterate from @RachelReevesMP's Accounts Department.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Starmer deploying the "full force of the law" again.

Shame it's only ever deployed after an outrage, rather than before one is perpetrated.
