[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.

Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.

Why?

State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.

The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.

If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.

Leave pensioners alone.

They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.

El islam tiene problemas con los gays, los judíos, los cristianos, los budistas, los hindúes, las mujeres, los ateos, el alcohol, el tocino y los perros.

Pero si yo tengo un problema con el islam, ¿soy yo el intolerante y el islamófobo? ¿Te das cuenta de lo absurdo que es?

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

The suggestion that the only way to fund defence is to cut spending on schools and hospitals is a) clearly complete nonsense and b) says far more about the total lack of serious thinking, ambition and boldness that has defined Rachel Reeves’ time as Chancellor than it does about anything else

Ukraine is fighting the scum who also wants to destroy us They are heros

[Angel Of England @Angel5754254761]

Kier Starmer has committed to give Ukraine 21.8 BILLION !!
but we have no money for our own defences.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.

[John O Sullivan @Corballyred]

Man City have spent close to 500 million on players in just the last 18 months and are now banging in 120 million bids on Premier League midfielders.

They are really taking the absolute piss out of the Premier League and these #115 charges.

On the same day Everton are punished again for financial breaches of rules in 2021.

You actually couldn't make it up🫢

Where is the ruling on City????

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole ‘crime’ of protesting for freedom.

#2TierKier #2TierJustice under #Liebour

[𝑮𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𓍢ִ໋♡ @CopperCation]

Our politicians and police say two-tier justice doesn't exist. Oh really? ⬇️

The man on the left, Afsar Safi, a migrant from Afghanistan aged 30, kidnapped a 7 yr old girl and sexually assaulted her. He got 2.5 years in prison and is expected to be out on licence after having served just 6 months.

The man on the right, Reece Robinson, a British man aged 21, has just been fast tracked through the courts for throwing stones at the Southampton protests. He got 2 years.

How is this even remotely acceptable?

We are being gaslit beyond belief.

[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.

[frances Barber @francesbarber13]

You are my MP. I asked to meet with you, but your minions suggested you had more important business. I think you are a terrible representative of women. And a coward.

THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT

She let child rapist Daniel Cieslak, who raped a 12-YEAR-OLD girl, WALK FREE from her courtroom. But guess what? Not only that!

She gave him an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE, despite him pleading GUILTY.

She also sparked outrage by praising Algerian rapist Hamadache Hamza for settling in Britain and setting up a hairdressing business.

She said that the predator deserved “credit” for overcoming his “very difficult background” to become a successful business owner in Scotland

BREAKING NEWS: Australia's public broadcaster ABC News just accused @elonmusk of ''inciting racial tension'' in Belfast because he did not censor footage showing a Sudanese refugee attempting to behead someone.

They're angrier at Elon than at the stabber.

🚨KEIR STARMER COMMITS TO CRACK DOWN ON X

Starmer agrees and says we need to crack down on X for whipping up violence

These people are insane
They're authoritarian and dangerous
They must be removed from power

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

Francesca Albanese calls herself a “human rights lawyer.”

But she's not a lawyer. She never passed a Bar Exam. She never defended a human rights activist in court.

She did do legal research for UNRWA, which is infested with terrorists.

She's a legal researcher for terrorists.

MP Emily Thornberry joins 120 colleagues in support of men like this to have unfettered access to female-only spaces with your daughters, nieces, mothers, female friends.
And she turns off replies because she’s doesn’t want to hear dissent.

Well done @allianz

[malca goldstein-wolf @WolfMalca]

Ich liebe alles daran ❤️

Die #Allianz fordert 300.000 £ von #ProPalästina-Aktivisten,
ihnen droht lebenslange Insolvenz!

Ein britisches Gericht hat dem deutschen Versicherer Allianz gestattet, eine Zivilklage in Höhe von fast 300.000 £ gegen sechs
Pro-Palästina-Aktivisten zu verfolgen; gleichzeitig wurde der Antrag abgelehnt, das Verfahren bis zum Abschluss der gegen sie laufenden Strafprozesse auszusetzen.

Gegen die Aktivisten liegen separate Strafanzeigen vor, da sie bei Protesten in den Jahren 2024 und 2025 rote Farbe auf Allianz-Büros gesprüht und dabei einen Sachschaden von 38.000 £ verursacht haben sollen. Während sich der reine Sachschaden auf 38.000 £ beläuft, umfasst die Gesamtforderung der Klage fast 300.000 £. Die Allianz hat weitere 200.000 £ für „Reputationsschäden und geschäftliche Beeinträchtigungen“ geltend gemacht.

Die Gruppe erklärte, sie habe das Unternehmen aufgrund dessen versicherungstechnischer Verbindungen zum israelischen Rüstungskonzern Elbit Systems ins Visier genommen.

Da es sich um ein Zivilverfahren handelt, haben die Aktivisten keinen Anspruch auf die finanzielle Prozesskostenhilfe oder den Schutz durch ein Geschworenengericht, wie sie im Strafrecht üblich sind; sie sind somit gezwungen, sich ohne formelle Rechtsvertretung zu verteidigen.

Etwaige zugesprochene Schadensersatzsummen würden direkt aus den Ersparnissen und künftigen Gehältern der Beklagten beglichen; die Klage droht sie somit in lebenslange finanzielle Not und den Bankrott zu treiben.

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:

As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’

Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:

‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’

This man is Valdo Calocane who murdered Grace, Barnaby and Ian Coates by stabbing them to death in Nottingham. I have just heard Barnabys Mum on the radio - this animal is currently a patient in a secure mental health unit and is receiving up to £800 in BENEFITS a month as technically he’s not a prisoner! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. What an absolute insult to the victims families 💔@RestoreBritain
