Mi aggredisci. Mi difendo. E dovrei risarcirti io? Non è giusto.

Con l’ultimo DDL Sicurezza introduciamo una regola di puro buon senso: chi subisce un danno mentre sta commettendo un reato non può chiedere alcun risarcimento, né possono farlo i suoi familiari.

Chi viola la legge non può pretendere di essere risarcito da chi si è difeso.

Lo Stato sta dalla parte delle persone perbene. Non dei criminali.

It is a genuine honour to represent Great Yarmouth - another resounding win recorded in the most patriotic constituency in Britain.

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

Ofcom’s Director of Research is on TV threatening TikTok and other platforms: comply with our rules or we’ll seize up to 10% of your global revenue.

This is pure regulatory fantasy.

Big Tech companies generate billions. Meta alone could face theoretical fines in the 16bn plus range. No serious multinational is handing over a tenth of worldwide earnings to UK bureaucrats enforcing Starmer era speech rules.

Enforcement relies on cooperation that simply won’t materialise, or endless court battles big tech always has the lawyers and cash to win.

Ofcom’s small team is already struggling with basic compliance from smaller players. Threatening existential fines on global giants while pushing what many see as de facto censorship demands isn’t regulation. It’s bluster.

These watchdogs have completely lost touch with reality and the limits of UK jurisdiction.

The Online Safety Act’s bark is loud, but its bite on determined platforms looks toothless. Time to rethink this approach before it becomes another expensive, ineffective UK regulatory embarrassment.

The British Government are proposing a law so that 16-17 year-olds (who they think should be allowed to vote) would have a default curfew on social media.

You’re about to go to university, you can legally consent to sex, but you can’t watch a YouTube video at 00:01.

Insane!

Pleased that our Capital Reduction is now confirmed - an important step as we continue to build a disciplined, well-structured capital base to support our strategy.

Alongside this, Jamie Knowles will be leaving the Company as Head of Capital Markets. I want to thank him for his contribution, and can confirm investor engagement will now sit with our senior management team and external advisers.

Tomorrow we were going to have an oppposition day debate to force Andy Burnham to outline his plans for Government…

…Instead, Labour revoked our opposition day entirely…

…And when I asked, they said Burnham won’t even turn up to their replacement debate.

A social media curfew for teenagers is all about introducing Digital ID.

A Restore Britain Government will repeal the curfew, and end all attempts to force Digital ID on the British people.
