@ObserverUK Last time I checked, the Prime Minister isn’t our Head of State, he is HM The Kings First Minister.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

This is shocking & shameful.

@redelitist Same. I’m often disappointed with the BBC, but equally I continue paying my licence because of the importance of the BBC.

"Recollections may vary."

Earl Spencer told CNN in 2002 Charles was "perfectly polite" after Diana died. Now his book claims he was "giddily elated."

Quite a shift for someone who said in 1998 that profiting from a sibling's death is "inconceivable."

@bornposting @TheEleventhChav So you live in the United Kingdom?

[The Spectator @spectator]

MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, did not give Burnham an emphatic ‘Don’t do it’ message, but it outlined that it could risk intelligence-sharing with Israel.

‘People in 6 are pulling their hair out,’ says an influential Labour figure close to the security services. ‘They presented warnings about the consequences of doing this.’

That source even suggests that Sa’ar only took Miliband’s call after a request was passed on by MI6 via Mossad. Netanyahu routinely refuses to talk to British politicians.

A non-political source with deep roots in the intelligence community has this to say: ‘If you appear like a lightweight who will selectively virtue-signal, you’re not going to be taken seriously again.’

He says that Mossad already views MI6 as competent but overcautious: ‘The relationship was difficult because we did national security, the Israelis do national survival. I think the Israelis see us as pretty professional, but a bunch of pussies in terms of the methods that we would use.’

What a response! Kemi showing true leadership!

President Trump is shooting from the hip as usual, just like he did with Greenland and Canada becoming the 51st state. This sort of loose talk about the future of democratic countries is deeply unhelpful and creates unnecessary tension.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. At a time when separatists are in power in Scotland, Wales and NI, we need a Government that will defend the Union clearly and confidently.

The Conservative and Unionist Party as is our true name will always defend the union. I would like to see the same clarity from Andy Burnham, rather than entertaining the idea of more independence referenda as he did on Wednesday at PMQs.

@redelitist God Save the King 🙌🏻

@redelitist It annoys me so much the disrespect of the media these days.

[D.E @Declan_Townsend]

Fair play, this is good

The first stall that greets attendees at Reform UK conference: Labour’s ‘inconvenience’ store with lots of ‘nanny state’ warnings

[Oliver Cooper @OliverCooper]

Labour MP for Hastings just claimed that the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum is testament to the Labour Government's diplomacy with France.

It was announced in 2018.

Andy: “I won’t do petty political point scoring”

Kemi: “Will you rule out an increase in borrowing?”

Andy: “Liz Truss!”

@slightowl7 @lukerobertblack I’ve been called queer, only ever as an insult. Clearly you don’t live in the real world @slightowl7

[D.E @Declan_Townsend]

I am gay, not queer. This outlet no longer represents the gay community.

[GAY TIMES @gaytimes]

If you are gay, you are queer – and yes, it matters 🗣️

@gaytimes I am Gay, not Queer. Why are you trying to tell me to accept what I’ve been called by bullies as normal?
