@theMakarioz They should be made to pay the costs for the aircraft delays.

@KathrynPorter26 @F_J_MacGregor That is horrific! 🤬

A principled resignation. 🫡
I’m not a labour supporter, but I have to say you have done an excellent job maintaining the support for Ukraine in your tenure.
It is unfathomable that Kier Starmer will not commit to the necessary funds on defence, but is more than happy to hand out an additional £44 billion in welfare payments.
Rather than finding an additional £6b 2026-£13b in 2027, we end up spending 10% of GDP on welfare, but fail to commit to 2.5 and 3.0% of GDP for defence in this current climate?
Astonishing times!

He is absolutely correct.
How many times have we debated these in the past few weeks?

1. Syria (~400,000–600,000+): Syrian Civil War (2011–present)

2. Afghanistan (~300,000–400,000+): War (2001–present.

3. Iraq (~200,000–300,000+ post-2003): Insurgency, ISIS conflict, ongoing violence.

4. Ethiopia (~300,000–400,000+): Tigray War and other internal conflicts (especially 2020s peaks) ongoing.

5. Ukraine (~200,000–500,000+ total, with heavy recent years): Russo-Ukrainian War (2014/2022–present); massive battle deaths in 2022–2025.

6. Yemen (~150,000–400,000+): Civil war (2014–present), including Saudi-led intervention.

7. Sudan (~100,000–300,000+): Darfur, ongoing civil war (esp. 2023–present).

8. Mexico (~150,000–400,000+ in drug/cartel violence): Non-state conflicts treated as organized violence in some datasets.

9. Nigeria (~100,000–200,000+): Boko Haram, banditry, communal violence.

10. Myanmar (~50,000–100,000+): Post-2021 coup civil war and earlier insurgencies.

At long last, the UN Human Rights Council has formally acknowledged that Hamas in Gaza carried out executions, torture, improperly used medical facilities for terror purposes, and engaged in violent abuses against women and children after October 7. The report captures only a fraction of what actually occurred, in part because documenting these crimes is extraordinarily difficult and because Gazans fear retaliation if they report anything to the UN or other investigators. The findings on Hamas were buried beneath a long section on Israeli settler abuses in the West Bank, but even so, this marks a significant shift for an international body that has long struggled to speak plainly about Hamas’s brutality in Gaza.

Most importantly, the report acknowledges but barely scratches the surface of how extensively Hamas has weaponized Gaza’s medical infrastructure, embedding fighters in hospitals, using patients as shields, and turning civilian facilities into operational hubs. The UN even notes that Doctors Without Borders evacuated non-essential staff from Nasser Hospital because Hamas was interfering with the hospital’s operations.

When I shared this information, including testimonies from Gazans who documented Hamas’s fascistic behavior inside hospitals, and photos of fighters emerging from Nasser Hospital after the ceasefire, the online “pro-Palestine” chorus had nothing to offer except accusations of Zionist collaboration, accusations of betrayal, and personal insults. This UN report is an indictment not only of Hamas, a violent extremist terror organization responsible for immense suffering, but also of every activist, journalist, and academic who chose to look away. It shows that Hamas’s crimes were so egregious, so undeniable, that even a slow, hesitant, and often ineffectual body like the UNHRC could no longer pretend not to see them.

Shame on anyone who still defends Hamas or ever believed its violence constituted “resistance” on behalf of the Palestinian people.

Belfast Tonight. Britain Tomorrow. The Trajectory Is Set.

On Monday night a man was pinned to a residential street in north Belfast and stabbed repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened. One used a hurling stick. By Tuesday night three houses and a Middle Eastern supermarket were burning. Infants were carried from neighbouring properties. A police vehicle was set alight. Politicians called for calm.

Remember this night. Not because it is exceptional. Because it is not.
This is where the road leads. Not in twenty years. Now. Belfast has experienced serious immigration-related disorder for three consecutive years. The same cycle every time. Attack. Outrage. Disorder. Calls for calm. Nothing. The next incident. What is playing out in Belfast is not a malfunction. It is the destination. A state that cannot name the cause manages the consequence instead, and calls it governance.

Now project forward. Not with imagination. With arithmetic. Over 200,000 people have arrived by small boat since 2018. The majority are unvetted young men from countries with no cultural alignment with the host society. They are housed in communities without consent. Dispersed without warning. The removal rate is four percent. The government knows the other ninety-six percent are staying. It has decided to manage that fact rather than reverse it. Every year the number grows. Every year the concentration deepens. Every year the friction increases.

In ten years those concentrations will not be streets. They will be districts. In twenty years they will be cities within cities, governed by parallel authority, answering to parallel loyalties. We have watched this happen in France. The banlieues were built accommodation by accommodation, retreat by retreat, until the French state no longer entered them except in force. Britain is on the same road, travelling faster.

The trigger events will multiply. One policing incident. One foreign conflict landing on a British street. One court case, one arrest, one viral video. Any spark will do because the kindling has been laid by policy and left to dry by neglect. The riots will not be contained to one city for one night. They will spread, as they spread in France, as they spread across England last summer, because the grievance is not local. It is national. And the anger on both sides will harden with every cycle.

Public order will not hold at current trajectory. The police already negotiate where they once enforced. Investigations are quietly dropped. Reports go unfiled. The state keeps the peace by lowering the bar for what constitutes peace. That bar will keep falling because the alternative requires confronting what the political class has spent thirty years refusing to confront.

The political system will bend to the new demography. It already has. Candidates selected on foreign conflicts. Councils controlled by sectarian bloc voting. Representatives answering to communal leaderships rather than constituents. That process will accelerate as the demographic weight shifts.

And somewhere in this trajectory a trigger event will occur that cannot be managed. A mass casualty attack. A riot that becomes an insurrection. A video so barbaric it breaks the remaining political consensus around managed silence. After that the response will be less controlled, less proportionate and less reversible than anything a government could have delivered by acting fifteen years earlier when the choice still existed.

Britain is not sleepwalking into this. The eyes are wide open. The trajectory is known. The choices being made are deliberate. Every week that passes without a closed border, a functioning removal system and an honest political reckoning is a week in which the future described above becomes more certain and less avoidable.

Belfast on Monday night is not a warning. The warnings came years ago and were ignored. Belfast on Monday night is the bill beginning to arrive.

@AlexBondODUA With coordinates please, for verification purposes!!

I need everyone to share this.

The IDF found another massive number of Hezbollah weapons in storage sites in civilian buildings.

Hezbollah terrorists are using civilian buildings in Lebanon as weapons storage, just like Hamas does in Gaza.

@Rachelhalliwel5 Words fail me! So sorry for your painful ordeal. 💔

[James @jamesbackagain]

@drlukeevans Follow the money!

Earlier caps limiting payments to 5% of a trust’s waiting list at £33.00 per patient removed were scrapped, allowing unlimited incentive payments for removals. NHS England has therefore “cashed in” on an opportunity at the patients expense.

[James @jamesbackagain]

@JebraFaushay Oh I remember something very similar!
I suppose it was rather like synchronised walking!
