Just weeks after medical data proves London’s ULEZ championed by @MayorofLondon has dramatically improved the health of children, James Cleverly decides the fossil fuel industry is more important.
Hang on, wasn’t he the financial secretary to the treasury under Liz Truss and part architect and defender of the disastrous mini budget? Great choice. #ironyisdead
Nigel Farage still hasn't said anything about what happened in Middlesbrough. Neither have Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick or Tommy Robinson.
If two police officers had died after a head-on collision with five Brown or Black men who were driving the wrong way down a road while trying to get away from another police car somewhere like Birmingham, and more than 200 extra police officers from forces across the UK were deployed because of gang-related disorder, I promise you Nigel Farage would have come out of hiding and called for "pure cold rage". Robert Jenrick would have been calling it a "no-go zone", Suella Braverman would have been pretending that she had tried to do something about it, and Tommy Robinson would have been inciting another racist riot.
A Doncaster vicar comforts an anxious parishioner in a wheelchair as Unite the Right bully their way into his church. All because he stood alongside a counter‑protest. This should be on the front page of every newspaper this morning; it isn’t.
No cap, no Royal Commission discussions, we must just ban foreign influence in our politics - and get on with it - now.
Those who choose to move their wealth abroad, to not contribute to our country, should lose the right to be a political donor.

Members of Britain's Biggest ever Child Sex Ring have been sentenced to a total of 145 years in prison, yet we are told that immigrants are the biggest danger to our children.

I expect GB News to be all over this 🤥
Campaigning enthusiastically for the party promising to get tough on sickness and disability benefits.

Sometimes satire simply takes the afternoon off.
Issues Reform have failed to comment on this week
- the death of two Police officers just doing their job and in the wrong place at the wrong time
- the 'gang' culture around Middlesborough - too white and working class to have any political value
- the disaster in Nepal despite the number if Nepalese troops that serve with UK forces
- the declining number of small boat arrivals, hotel use and immigration backlog
In the last census, just 0.3% of the population (138,000) of England and Wales couldn’t speak any English. This total includes people under 18.
If they block them it will have zero effect, because it’s such a non-problem. But they know that, because it’s just a dog-whistle.
Isn’t it Danny Kruger?
The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.
She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.
Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.
Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.
In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.
Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.
Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): “I do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you are”
It appears Richard Tice is divorced after he had an extra marital affair and cheated on his wife and the mother of his children.
Always funny when philanderers try to preach about family values.
