Since taking office, @JMilei has brought monthly inflation down from nearly 20% to roughly 2%.

Halved poverty in Argentina.

Reduced government spending by laying off 56,000 civil servants.

Rent prices down 40%.

It can be done.

If you walked up to Mike Tyson in a bar and punched him in the face, I doubt ‘you can’t hit back because I’m so puny!’ would save you from consequences.

After my appearance on GMB, I was paid a fee.
As promised in my article about the experience, we felt the only right place for it was the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The receipt is attached.

GMB have been shortlisted for a National Television Award, in the Daytime category, and I'm asking people to vote for them.

I'll tell you exactly why. They gave our story proper airtime. They didn't rush me, they didn't stitch me up with gotcha questions, and they didn't turn my family into a segment. Anyone who has dealt with the media knows how rare all three of those things are. The opposite was true. They were careful with us, mindful of our well being throughout, fair, thorough and honest.

If you want to understand better why I'm asking, you can read what I wrote about what it was actually like sitting on national telly talking about the worst thing that has happened to my family. You can read it here. https://t.co/vc3m1bshYI

Voting is free at https://t.co/23uMrrNEn5 - Daytime category. Takes a minute, and it closes on the 8th of September.

And one more thing. This donation was a one-off, and one-offs don't fix anything, lets face it.
So I've been working on something that should turn it into a regular stream of donations. Not saying more yet. Watch this space, it's coming soon.

@standardchester Innocent nurse Lucy Letby’s married Doctor boyfriend dies.

[Dr Svilena Dimitrova @NeoDoc11]

As I wake up to the news that Chief Constable of Cheshire police, Mark Roberts, has prematurely retired, I read his resignation speech with great curiosity and note he forgot to mention that he also played a role in publicly marking his own homework and awarding himself an A****** - describing his own force's Operation Hummingbird investigation into the non-existent crimes of Lucy Letby as both “impressive” and “exceptional.”

Picture attached, courtesy of @northerness (as the system won’t allow me to quote your post directly).

To be fair, the Lucy Letby investigation was impressive and exceptional.

It is genuinely impressive and exceptional that, in this day and age, one investigation could accommodate so much groupthink, so little critical thinking, so many cognitive errors, such failures to explore alternative explanations, such intimidation and/or marginalisation of witnesses who challenged the pre-decided narrative, such certain conclusions presented to vulnerable parents before proper investigation, such colossal failures to investigate potentially poor medical practice, and such biased and/or unqualified "experts" building a case, while simultaneously allowing those whose own practice warranted scrutiny to shout “burn the witch” at a vulnerable target - one whose conviction would rather magically make all those uncomfortable questions about their own deficiencies disappear in a convenient puff of smoke.

Overall, this amounted to a remarkably efficient modern-day reconstruction of a medieval witch-hunt - merely aided and abetted, on this occasion, by the criminal courts, rather than conducted through the NHS’s more customary venues for its witch-trials: internal proceedings or referrals to the GMC/NMC.

So on that point, I do agree with Mark Roberts - impressive and exceptional are the right words for it.

I wish him a long and fruitful retirement. And I sincerely hope his conscience doesn't choose some inconvenient moment to wake up and interfere with the enjoyment of what no doubt be a generous state-funded pension.

[Rachel Maddison @RachelMaddiso15]

Today I watched David Davis MP in Parliament call for the Thirlwall Inquiry’s terms of reference to be widened...and I couldn’t agree more.

The inquiry into the horrors at Countess of Chester Hospital is currently limited to the families of babies on Lucy Letby’s indictment.

But what about all the other families who lost babies or fought for their children’s lives in that neonatal unit? Their pain matters just as much. Systemic failures-staffing, governance, clinical practices,didn’t only affect the prosecution’s cases.

Every parent deserves the fullest possible answers, not a narrow lens that assumes guilt and stops there.

David Davis is right: broaden the scope now. Learn the real lessons so no more families suffer.

Justice and transparency for all the families. Change the terms of reference. #ThirlwallInquiry #CountessOfChester”

Here’s Thierry Henry talking more sense about England’s World Cup mentality than some of the English media right now.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

The police now concede it wasn’t a ‘fight’ but an ‘assault’.

They are finally investigating the men they allowed to flee.

This wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the footage shared on this platform.

One of many such cases.

And to think Government ministers are boycotting the platform and trying to control what appears on people’s social media.

This was clearly a serious failure of policing. Why won’t the Home Secretary summon the Chief Constable to explain themselves and why they tried to cover it up?

It’s another egregious case of two-tier policing and it has gone unchallenged by this rotten government.

This nonsense will end under Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf when Reform UK re-establishes equality before the law.

I wonder if any of the media will ask me about it this morning…

RT @emmafildes: Andy Burnham’s previous “success” in Manchester came from handing over tax payers money to developers to build skyscrapers…

[Robert Goudie @rob_goudie]

Came across this interesting table. Taken at face value, I think it could have lent itself to the sort of investigation-steering calculation an expert investigator could have wrapped up in the first ten minutes – over a coffee:

According to Prof. Spiegelhalter, a mortality spike of around eight deaths has a probability of roughly 0.8% in a given year: sufficient enough to trigger an investigation but not nationally extraordinary. If the base rate for a serial offending nurse is illustratively taken as 1 in 5 million nurse-years, then in a ward of 38 nurses the prior probability of at least one such nurse being present is 1 in 131,579.

Crucially, if we tie these together and ask what the likelihood is of a spike being generated by the presence of a rogue nurse, Bayes' theorem tells us that the non-serial route – some combination of case-mix, acuity, infection, staffing, clinical error, systemic failure, and similar – is roughly a thousand times more likely than serial offending on the part of any one of the 38 nurses.

So the findings of Prof. Shoo Lee's international panel of experts should not be seen as particularly surprising, given that such findings were a thousand times more likely than the guilt of any one of the 38 nurses on the ward.

NARINDER KAUR: A GRIFTER'S GUIDE TO MAKING RACISM YOUR BUSINESS MODEL

The Definitive Exposé of Britain's Most Shameless Professional Victim

Let us begin with a simple question. What do you do when your fifteen minutes of fame ended twenty-three years ago, your career peaked at NINTH PLACE on a reality show most people have forgotten, and you possess no discernible talent, expertise, or qualification beyond the ability to cry on command?

If you're Narinder Kaur, you buy a "Pranic Healing" certificate online, crown yourself MRS HOT MODEL INDIA WORLD 2020 at age forty-seven, and reinvent yourself as Britain's premier race-baiting industrial complex.

Yes. Really.

CHAPTER ONE: THE BIG BROTHER THAT TIME FORGOT

Picture the scene. It's 2001. Tony Blair is Prime Minister. The Twin Towers are still standing. And somewhere in a house in Elstree, a twenty-nine-year-old medical sales representative from Leicester is about to be evicted from the second series of Big Brother.

She finished NINTH.

Not first. Not third. Not even finalist. NINTH. Behind Helen Adams. Behind Paul "Bubble" Ferguson. Behind people whose names you have genuinely never heard in your entire life.

But here's the thing about Narinder. Where others saw failure, she saw OPPORTUNITY. Where others saw a Z-list reality contestant destined for the obscurity of regional pantomime, she saw... a career.

For twenty-four years, she has clung to that eviction like a drowning woman to driftwood. "Former Big Brother contestant" remains her opening gambit, her claim to fame, her justification for demanding a seat at every table. The woman has built an entire media persona on nine weeks in a house in 2001.

Let that sink in. While her contemporaries moved on, got jobs, raised families, contributed to society, Narinder stayed frozen in amber, desperately reminding anyone who would listen that she was once on television.

CHAPTER TWO: THE HEALING GRIFT

Now, you might ask yourself: how does one monetize being ninth on a reality show two decades later? The answer, apparently, is SPIRITUAL FRAUD.

Narinder Kaur, you see, is a "healer." She has a certificate in "Pranic Healing." Which she bought. Online. From an institution that will remain nameless but rhymes with "scam."

This is the same woman who appears on morning television to scream about racism, to attack working-class Britons, to poison the well of social cohesion before your coffee has even brewed. She creates the trauma. Then she sells you the cure.

The business model is elegant in its cynicism. Step one: go on television and declare Britain a racist hellscape. Step two: offer "healing" and "wellness" services to the very communities you've just traumatized. Step three: cash the cheques.

She has literally built a brand called PHOENIX. Rising from the ashes. The ashes she herself sets alight every time she opens her mouth on Good Morning Britain.

This is not activism. This is ARSON-FOR-HIRE. And the fire department is run by her.

CHAPTER THREE: THE WHITE MEDIA'S PET BROWN FACE

But here is where it gets truly insidious. Narinder Kaur has positioned herself as the go-to brown face for white liberal media outlets who need someone to call Britain racist without the awkwardness of actual racism.

Think about it. When the BBC needs someone to attack working-class voters? Call Narinder. When Good Morning Britain needs someone to scream over a pensioner worried about immigration? Narinder's in the green room. When GB News needs controversy? There she is, somehow, despite having spent years attacking the very network that now pays her.

She is not a commentator. She is a PROP. A useful idiot for an industry that likes its diversity loud, angry, and completely devoid of nuance. The white liberal media doesn't want thoughtful analysis. They want Narinder Kaur screaming "racist" at anyone who questions open borders, grooming scandals, or the sacrificial altar of diversity.

They wheel her out. She performs. Everyone claps. And then she goes home to count the money while actual British-Indian communities wonder how this woman became their self-appointed spokesperson.

Spoiler: she didn't. The communities she claims to represent largely despise her. As one commentator noted, "most of the UK Indian community probably hate her." And you can understand why. She doesn't speak for them. She speaks OVER them. She uses their struggles as her business card.

CHAPTER FOUR: THE MATHS OF A MARCH

Let us turn to Narinder's greatest recent triumph: the "500,000 person march against racism."

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE. The biggest multicultural protest in history. Or, alternatively, a complete fabrication that exists only in Narinder Kaur's imagination.

The Metropolitan Police estimated the crowd at FIFTY TO SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND. A fraction of what Narinder claimed.

But why let reality intrude? Narinder took to X, wide-eyed and wounded, demanding to know why Laura Kuenssberg and Trevor Phillips had "ignored" her magical half-million marchers.

The reality? The march was bankrolled by trade unions, NGOs, Stand Up To Racism, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Antifa crews, LGBTQ activist groups, Muslim Association of Britain, CAGE, and Extinction Rebellion hangers-on. The crowd was bussed in, paid for, and organized by the usual suspects.

The only genuine faces were bewildered tourists wondering why they'd stumbled into a sociology department's field trip.

But Narinder looked at seventy-five thousand people and saw FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND. She looked at a damp afternoon in London and saw her own relevance being validated.

Delusion, when monetized, becomes a business strategy.

CHAPTER FIVE: THE FAR-RIGHT PHANTOM

And who, exactly, are these "far-right" monsters Narinder keeps screeching about?

Ask her. Go on. Ask her to define "far-right." Ask her to name a specific organization, a specific threat, a specific policy proposal that justifies her constant state of performative panic.

She can't. Because the "far-right" in Narinder's world is ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HER.

Anyone who questions open borders. Anyone worried about their daughter's safety. Anyone who pays taxes, buries their children, and watches their country change beyond recognition while being told they're the problem.

The working-class Briton who has watched his neighborhood transform, his wages stagnate, his daughter's school overwhelmed? Far-right.

The mother who worries about grooming gangs? Far-right.

The pensioner who remembers a country where you could leave your door unlocked? Far-right, far-right, far-right.

Narinder doesn't defend the voiceless. She ATTACKS the voiceless. She smears them. She delegitimizes their concerns. She reduces complex social issues to simple moral binaries where she is always the hero and they are always the Nazis.

And then she claims she speaks for the marginalized.

CHAPTER SIX: THE VICTIM COSTUME

But of course, no grift is complete without the victim narrative. And Narinder wears hers like a bespoke suit.

Every criticism is racist. Every disagreement is harassment. Every time she says something objectively stupid on television and faces backlash, she retreats behind the shield of her own marginalization.

THE KATE MIDDLETON INCIDENT: Narinder looked at a woman who had just undergone cancer treatment and asked, publicly, why she had "aged so much" and whether she was a smoker. When called out for this cruelty, she didn't apologize properly. She accused her critics of RACISM. She claimed they came after her "like I had committed a crime."

You did, Narinder. You did commit a crime. The crime of being a nasty, spiteful woman who punches down at a mother of three recovering from chemotherapy and then plays the victim when called out on it.

THE HUW EDWARDS DEFENSE: Before the former BBC presenter pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children, Narinder was on Twitter defending his mental health. "It was ALL allegations," she cried. Then, when the facts emerged, she claimed the tweet was "old" and being "resurfaced" by harassers.

No, Narinder. You defended a predator. Own it.

THE LAURENCE FOX SAGA: When Fox posted an upskirting image of her, she was genuinely wronged. But she has weaponized this victimhood to such a degree that it has become her entire personality. The case has become a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card for any behavior she cares to engage in.

Victimhood, when industrialized, becomes a shield against accountability.

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE EMPTY BRAND

Let us appreciate the sheer emptiness of it all.

Narinder Kaur has no expertise in anything. She is not an academic. She is not a journalist. She is not a politician. She is not a community organizer. She is not a religious leader. She is not a business owner. She is not an artist.

She is a woman who finished NINTH on a reality show in 2001 and has spent TWENTY-FOUR YEARS desperately trying to stay relevant.

She has written one book that exists primarily as a vehicle for her ego. She has presented shows that no one remembers. She has appeared in pantomime, the traditional graveyard of the talentless celebrity. She has crowned herself a beauty queen at forty-seven.

Her entire career is a PERFORMANCE OF SIGNIFICANCE without the substance to back it up.

And yet, she persists. She is on your television. She is in your timeline. She is being paid actual money by actual broadcasters to share opinions that actual people take seriously.

How?

Because the British media ecosystem is broken. Because controversy generates clicks. Because having Narinder Kaur scream about racism is cheaper than producing actual journalism. Because the white liberal guilt complex requires regular sacrifices, and Narinder is always happy to provide the knife.

EPILOGUE: THE RECKONING

So here we are. Twenty-four years after NINTH PLACE on Big Brother. And what has Narinder Kaur built?

A brand. A persona. A business model based on division, victimhood, and the monetization of racial trauma.

She has done more to poison social cohesion than any actual racist organization in Britain. She has betrayed the working-class communities she claims to defend. She has sold out her own integrity, her own community, and her own country for a few more years in the spotlight.

She is not the voice of the voiceless. She is the voice of those who DESPISE the voiceless. And she wears that badge with damn pride.

NARINDER KAUR. Failed reality contestant. Fake healer. Professional victim. Race-baiter. Grifter.

NINTH PLACE.

And not even the most memorable ninth place in Big Brother history.

Sit down.
