Britain's national war memorial was only meant to stand for a week. 🕊️

Summer 1919. Britain planned a huge victory parade through London. 🎖️

But the dead couldn't march. They lay abroad, or were never found. 💔

So the Prime Minister asked the architect Edwin Lutyens for a place where the troops could salute them. 🫡

It went up in wood and plaster, right in the middle of Whitehall. 🪵

Fifteen thousand soldiers marched past it. Each one saluted the dead. 🇬🇧

Then the parade ended. But people kept coming. 🌹

In the week it was meant to stand, over a million came. 🤯

Its sides look perfectly straight. They aren't. 📐

No names on it. No cross. It belongs to everyone who lost someone. 🙏

Today, at eleven o'clock, the nation falls silent around it once more. 🕯️

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 🌺

Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧
Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Labour's destruction of our economy is relentless.

Polly's Tearooms in Marlborough survived two World Wars, numerous recessions and Covid.

But it could not survive this Labour Government and its disastrous Chancellors Rachel Reeves and John Healey.

On #ArmisticeDay, we remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

At 11am, on the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.

We will remember them.

Labour vows to stop powerful figures silencing the press, but what about its own record of secrecy?

After years of secrecy, political spin and disturbing revelations about investigations into journalists, Labour suddenly wants to lecture the country about press freedom. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

LABOUR has discovered the importance of a free press. How convenient...

Two-tier Britain: Labour presses ahead with Sharia-compliant student loans as universities promote separate finance scheme

The controversial arrangements, being advanced by Labour, will allow students to avoid conventional interest-bearing loans and instead make payments into a dedicated fund, reserved exclusively for others using the same Sharia-compliant financing system...

Another heartbreaking High Street closure. After 114 years, Polly Tearooms in Marlborough has shut its doors.

The owners blame relentless tax rises, soaring overheads, rising wages and customers struggling with the cost of living.

114 years of history, gone.

How many more British businesses must close before the Labour listens?

This Labour government is destroying our country.

You only need to look at Swinney's hysterical bluster and weasel words to see @HarrietCross_MP has him bang to rights.

You can celebrate a Sikh festival and Remembrance Sunday on the same day. But shouting "Bandi Chhor Divas!" during the 2 minute silence is cringe and disrespectful.

An SNP government so desperate to look inclusive, instead exposed its extraordinary cultural ignorance. Thousands of Sikh soldiers fought and died alongside British servicemen in two World Wars. Their sacrifice is part of our shared national history. Remembrance Sunday belongs to them too.

As people of every colour, faith and background fell silent to remember those who died for our freedom. The SNP govt's official account wanted to make it extremely clear to everyone that it had a different message to send.

What they posted at 11am was so naff, it might as well have said "Remembrance Sunday is for everyone else. You minorities can have your own little celebrations." to match the levels of extreme crassness and condescension.

Ethnic minorities don't need the SNP's performative gestures or patronising crumbs.

This is the poisonous consequence of politicians who see people as separate groups to be managed and patronised, rather than fellow citizens united by a common country and shared traditions.

The SNP talks endlessly about inclusion while displaying a remarkable inability to understand what actually unites us.

John Swinney laid a wreath on Sunday. Good. Now he should explain how the Government he leads managed to get this so spectacularly wrong.

I do wish our Trade Minister would actually read this. Does @UKLabour actually understand UK Trade or are they just blinded by a fanaticism about giving up the control we have to the EU bureaucrats who love regulations

[Harriet Cross MP @HarrietCross_MP]

The Scottish Government has questions to answer.

More than 207,000 fallen men and women are listed on the Scottish War Memorial's Roll of Honour.

Yesterday, the country fell silent at 11am to remember those to gave their lives for us.

Also at precisely 11am yesterday, the Scottish Government's X account published a post. Not about Remembrance Sunday, but about a Sikh festival. In fact, that account did not post to mark Remembrance Sunday at all.

Later in the day they also posted about climate change. But still, did not see it necessary to mark one of the most poignant days in our nation's calendar.

Bandi Chorr Divas is, of course, an important date for Sikhs. Indeed, it coinciding with Remembrance Sunday was the perfect opportunity for the Scottish Government to recognise the almost 200,000 Sikhs who were killed or injured fighting in the World Wars alongside allied forces.

They didn't do this. They chose to just ignore Remembrance Sunday altogether.

I have written to the Scottish Government for answers, not least in identifying who is responsible for showing such contempt and disrespect to our armed forces and veterans.

[Catherine McBride OBE @CeeMacBee]

For the many UK politicians @UKLabour and journalists @BBC who don't know anything about UK trade, here are the highlights:

1. The UK is now predominantly a service exporter. 57% of UK exports are services, which are not affected by EU 'red tape'.

2. UK goods exports have dropped from almost 70% of our total exports in 1997 to just 43% in 2025. This trend began long before Brexit and is tied to Net Zero mandates, high UK energy prices, and EV mandates.

3. Machinery and transport goods, such as cars and aircraft parts, are 42% of all UK goods exports. This is by far the UK's largest export sector, although it is also falling. It was 50% of UK exports in 2000. But if the UK joins the EU's CBAM, companies in this sector will see their imported material costs rise, making their exports even less competitive.

4. Chemicals are the UK's second-largest export sector. They account for 19% of UK goods exports, but this share is shrinking due to UK and EU energy costs and Net Zero regulations. These will increase if the UK joins the EU ETS.

5. Miscellaneous Manufactures account for 11% of UK goods exports. This is still the UK's third-largest export sector, even though it includes many goods the UK no longer makes because of our high Carbon taxes, which will increase if the UK signs up to the EU's even higher ETS on November 20th.

6. Fuels account for 9% of UK exports. This is still the UK's 4th largest goods export sector, even though the current and previous governments are/were trying to destroy it with bans on new exploration and ultra-high taxes.

7. Material Manufactures account for 8% of UK goods exports. This sector includes iron, steel, aluminium, ceramics, and glass manufacturing - industries that have gone, or are going, out of business in the UK because of high UK energy costs, which will rise if the UK joins the EU ETS.

8. These five sectors make up almost 90% of UK exports. The other 5 industry sectors are insignificant. But the government and our journalists think the UK is New Zealand and that the only goods we export are food and live animals to the EU. We don't! UK food and live animal exports to the EU were just 1.3% of the UK's total exports.

9. The government is about to sacrifice all of the export industries listed above to slightly reduce the IMPORT costs of a handful of Supermarkets, at least two of which are privately owned German companies.
These savings will not be passed on to UK shoppers because the government has also increased wages again, and supermarket energy costs will increase if we join the EU's ETS.

10. UK exports of food and live animals will not increase because we are paying farmers to not produce them, this has nothing to do with EU red tape. Instead we are paying farmers to plant trees and wildflowers or plaster their farmland with solar panels. (54% of UK electricity is coming from gas today, 12% from solar and 3% from wind.)

11. Write to your MP and tell him to #StoptheReset.
If you don't stop this, don't complain when all of our goods export industries have closed because of EU higher carbon taxes, EU higher carbon import tariffs, and the cost of complying with the EU's new packaging and process regulations.
