Canadian and British. I miss Margaret Thatcher.

Meet the newly elected Green Party councillor in charge of Children, Young People and Families on Birmingham City Council who said that the October 7th Hamas attacks showed ‘courage’. Have you lost your mind, Birmingham?

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

This is what I explained in my OpEd yesterday. I repeatedly warned the police not to bring in race action plans that treat groups differently.

Senior police chiefs ignored my advice preferring to get it from activists who I warned them wanted to DEFUND the police, telling me they were operationally independent.

I’ll be speaking tomorrow about how we sweep away this rubbish and bring back common sense.

The Henry Nowak case has revealed how left-wing ideology has corrupted our police and criminal justice system.

Labour are making the problem far worse - but we must also explain how this ideology was allowed to take root under a Conservative government.

60,000 people marching peacefully for hope, community, and the right to live openly and proudly as Jews in Canada.

What a sight.

What a community.

Grim times for Britain’s defence establishment.
An upcoming report by Parliament’s Public Accounts committee is thought to conclude that the British Army’s troubled Ajax armoured vehicle may never make it onto the battlefield because it is not ‘fit for purpose’.
Over £6 billion has been spent on the Ajax programme. It should have started service in 2017. It is still not deployed. It has been plagued with issues, including leaving soldiers vomiting and with permanent hearing damage during field trials.
This latest report discloses that soldiers have been instructed to conduct maintenance checks every time they stop the vehicle. Which is hardly realistic when operating Ajax for long periods in combat.
Another day, another defence procurement and resources shambles. Tory, Labour and Lib Dem politicians should hang their heads in shame for presiding over what is now a national scandal.

As a gay man, this makes me think, what the actual fuck are these people thinking? FFS

"Gay men don't eat food in June because they're always on the look-out to have bumsex"

I'm not sure that's quite as inclusive as Hello Fresh seems to think it is.

@gilad73 I wonder what Mosques did?

[Robbie @Robbie_Reasons]

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

There are so many untold details and incidents from that year, of unspeakable cruelty.

Did you know Khomeini's horde would hang innocent Iranians from ancient Persian monuments as a way to defile Iran's pre-islamic history?

Now you know.

[Julian Jessop @julianHjessop]

This post is just wrong.

Encouraging more people from under-represented groups to apply for judicial roles is not the same as "diversity quotas" on the actual appointments, which are still on merit.

Put another way, it confuses equality of opportunity with equality of outcomes.

I am not using my account here to comment on things often, but this news story needs a comment:
How is it possible that a professional European politician in 2026 does not see the very obvious historical parallels of supporting the idea of creating lists of Jews?

Plenty of people I like will disagree but I wrote a thing about why I like Kemi.

It has the virtue of being honest

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

This is what drives people up the wall with Labour:

a) Every Minister, from Starmer down, mouths the platitude "our priority must be Epstein's victims".

b) Mandelson is forced to resign because of his friendship with Epstein

c) Darren Jones sends Mandelson a sycophantic, fawning message AFTER his relationship with Epstein is fully exposed.

d) Darren Jones literally goes on national television and lies about sending that message.

e) Darren Jones lies are finally exposed themselves.

f) Jones "allies" then start roaming around, briefing the media HE is the victim.

g) Jones carries on in post as if nothing has happened

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

The Government’s official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — was published in March.

The Free Speech Union warned from the outset that it would have a chilling effect on free speech and stifle legitimate criticism of Islam. The decision to classify prejudicial stereotyping as a form of “anti-Muslim hostility” will also deter people — including public officials — from speaking out about the grooming gangs scandal and Islamist extremism.

We also predicted that, despite being a non-statutory definition, it would serve as a gold-embossed invitation for public bodies to produce guidance that goes even further.

South Wales Police are now zealously enforcing their own bespoke Islamic blasphemy law, instructing officers to record any conversation that goes beyond what they deem “legitimate” discussion of Islam.

Why should police officers be given the power to decide what constitutes acceptable speech about a religion and its followers in a country where blasphemy laws were abolished in 2008?

These incidents will be logged as “anti-social behaviour incidents” — the successor to the draconian non-crime hate incident regime. They could appear on an enhanced DBS check and potentially prevent someone from getting a job.

The Free Speech Union has written to South Wales Police demanding that this guidance be withdrawn. If they refuse, we have warned that we will seek judicial review.
