@Keir_Starmer So despite all the evidence to the contrary you’re going ahead with this insanity?!? Of course you are, why would you let fact & reason get between you and your personal power. I am looking forward to posting a “Told you so” message 🤯🤦‍♂️

Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher, 31, from Virginia Water, Surrey. Britain’s only serving female Royal Navy Commando.

Killed in training on 3 June 2026 when a Merlin Mk4 from 846 Naval Air Squadron crashed at Sourton Down, Devon.

The career arc was extraordinary. An MSc in Geology from Imperial College London in 2016. Junior international representative for England in lacrosse and pole vault. Two years as a geologist with British Petroleum before commissioning in 2019 into the Royal Navy.

During a break in flying training she completed the 16 week All Arms Commando Course, earning the green beret as one of only seven women in British military history to do so, and becoming the UK’s only serving female Royal Navy Commando.

She was killed on her final assessment of flying training. Her Pilot’s Wings were to be awarded in June 2026. She died alongside Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson, 42, and Petty Officer Owen Green, 24.

You can't make this SH*T up.

Lammy went on Sky News and said Musk tweeted about Henry Nowak over 100 times, that he was being divisive, interfering in British politics, whipping up division.

Then admitted he hasn't read the tweets. SHUT UP you foolish idiot. 🤯

How do you know the NUMBER if you haven't read ONE? How do you know they're DIVISIVE if you haven't read them?

He condemned the content of posts he's never seen. Live on television.

What Musk actually said was that what happened to Henry was unconscionable and he'd personally fund a wrongful death lawsuit against the officers. That's not division. That's accountability for a dead British boy.

THAT is what Lammy is scared of. Not the tweets. The lawsuit.

Because if that lawsuit succeeds it doesn't just destroy two officers. It destroys the institutional culture that produced them. The fear of racism accusations over duty of care. The diversity training that made police feel controlled and pressured. The two tier policing they've spent years carefully building.

Musk isn't whipping up division. Musk is funding accountability.

Then Melbourne showed Lammy his own tweet about youth unemployment. Zero engagement. Every comment critical. Not one person engaging with the message.

Lammy's response? Russian bots. Emanating from Moscow. Not real British people.

729,000 young people out of work. Highest since 2015. Worse than Covid. The British public told him exactly what they think. So he erased them.

Then said he's staying on X anyway.

So which is it David? If it's a Russian bot farm you delete your account. If you're staying it's because the anger is real and you know it.

He knows they're real. Calling them bots was a LIE. Just like the number. Just like the content he condemned without reading.

All of it. Live on television.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

A few people not quite getting the point saying "but you recommeded Quotum". Of course I didn't, I don't do adverts. This was a fake news story by scammers (ie organised crime) pretending to report me saying something on the TV!

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

THEY ARE BASTARDS!

We just got an email sent to MSE. The spelling was awful, and it was quite tough to understand. Lower down, the writer later explained she was 78 and her disability had stopped her being able to spell. So perhaps it is a stroke, or something similar.

I've tidied it and summarised below, changing some identifying details. In a nutshell, it was this...

"I invested, Martin, with Quotum when you first announced it on TV. What an opportunity for me to buy my own flat. My manager there passed me through to a nice man who asked me for £350 more. He showed me it was growing. I did what he told me to do."

She then goes on to explain how she really wanted her flat and she gave more and more money. And she has nothing left to help with her disability.

I'm honestly in tears typing this. These types of scam ads have now been going on for a decade. I have spent my career trying to help people with their finances. It feels visceral to get this, and to feel that this reputation has been perverted by criminals to steal from someone who is clearly so vulnerable leaves me feeling nauseous.

So many people, both vulnerable and not, lose money and see their lives and wellbeing destroyed. It's now seven years since I sued Facebook. And yet still nothing is being done.

Big tech makes £3bn a year from these scammers. We have a law in place to make them responsible for these ads they're paid to publish, yet it isn't implemented. How many more of these do I have to receive - and far worse, how many more people have to go through this?

This is relentless. It is wrong. Government has to take action! I wrote to the PM just two weeks ago on this very issue. I've not heard back yet.

(We are, of course, going to try and point her in the right direction to get help, but that will be stressful for her too)

It’s a well known phenomenon that humour both cures all known ailments (honest 😇) and deescalates tense situations… So here’s my submission to help the World calm TF down a few pegs 🤩🥳

[Andy @AndyBarker]

It’s distressing to see the level on complacency and general disinterest from the Police Constables whilst dealing with a fatally wounded Henry Nowak.
I understand they are not medical professionals, but common sense should dictate that when someone tells you they can’t breathe and that they have been stabbed you get medical attention for them quickly, even if it is just to discount their claims.
A sad state of affairs here in the UK at present. My heart goes out to Henry’s family & friends 😞

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Henry Nowak — a student on a night out in Southampton — was stabbed multiple times with a 21cm knife.

As he lay in a pool of his own blood, police arrested him following an accusation of “racial abuse”.

He told officers that he had been stabbed and could not breathe. When Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed, it is reported that a male voice replied: “I don’t think you have, mate”.

Let that sink in. A man is arrested while bleeding out because of an allegation that he may have said something racist.

This is a harrowing example of the mess the police are in. They seem more concerned about the words people say than the fact that a man had just been brutally stabbed.

Reform MP @RobertJenrick has called for a debate on two-tier policing, warning that it is undermining respect for the police and the rule of law in this country.

[Andy @AndyBarker]

@GBNEWS Good, too many get vehiclles unnecessarily. They need to chance what “disabilities” are eligible, and have independent medical checks, because whatever they are doing now certainly isn’t checking anything - other than check boxes on forms 🤷‍♂️🙄

[BanksyCat @Banksycat]

A foreign billionaire just did the job the entire British press wouldn't.

@elonmusk asked the question every newsroom in this country should have been screaming for months. Who are the officers that handcuffed a dying boy and let him bleed out in the street? Who are they, and why are they still in a job?

Not the BBC. Not Sky. Not GB News. A bloke in Texas with no stake in this country.

They had the story. They let it die. He picked it back up, called it unconscionable, and offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit.

The answer to his question? Silence. Still.

This is Henry Nowak. First year student. Walking home from a night out with his football team. A wounded teenager telling officers he couldn't breathe, and the response was handcuffs, not an ambulance.

A boy dies like this on a British street and it should never have left the front page. It should have been the reckoning that didn't stop until someone answered for it. Instead it took a man who owes us nothing to drag it back into the light.

Not one officer named. Not one suspended. The watchdog is investigating now, and only now, because the pressure came from a website and not a single news desk in this country.

Ordinary people never needed permission to care. They raised over £40,000 for Henry at a charity football match in his memory. That is the Britain that still has a pulse. The one that doesn't wait to be told who's allowed to matter.

When the richest man on earth has to do your journalism for you, what exactly is the British press for?

So let me ask you the question they wouldn't. Did you see Henry's name on the news? Or did you have to find it here?

Henry Nowak. 18 years old. Walking home. He should have made it.
