Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn.

They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future.

Always follow the money.

Putin must have something on Trump. There’s no sense in treating as an equal a country with an economy the size of Spain’s and an army that got pushed back by a country a fraction of its size and a quarter of its population

None of this makes sense unless…

@NJ_Timothy Why don't we have enough prison places, Nicholas?

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Britain’s prisons crisis has its roots in a failure to add sufficient new places between 2010 and 2024. Just 500 places were added and 23 prisons were closed. As a result, the system is now dangerously close to capacity and we are running the risk of new offenders not being incarcerated in a timely manner.

The situation must be gripped and that is what I have done in my first days as Prime Minister. But I have done so by trying to put myself in the shoes of victims of crime and seeing things through their eyes. My approach has been to maximise support for them and minimise the risks to public safety.

For someone trying to rebuild their life after a traumatic experience, few things could feel more unjust than learning the person responsible for their suffering would be released earlier than thought. Yet that has been the painful experience of many victims.

I understand their anger and anxiety. More than that, I share it. Because of that, one of my first decisions as Prime Minister was to pause the plan for early release in September and order an urgent review of the scheme.

That has now concluded and, as a result, I have decided to make some significant changes to the plans I inherited. Sentences for rape, serious child sex offences and other grooming offences will now be excluded from the changes. This will be on top of the offenders who are already blocked because they have been deemed by the courts as the most dangerous prisoners.

The truth is I wanted to go even further. I know there will be concerns about who will still be released early for other offences. I have pushed to the very limits of what is possible to do. I know I can look people in the eye and say to them there is nothing more I could have asked for without risking the prison system reaching capacity and collapsing within months.

Such an outcome would expose the public to enormous risk. Police would be unable to make arrests. Courts would be unable to send new offenders to prison. Our justice system would grind to a halt. All this is the reason why sentencing changes were rightly introduced in the first place.

However, I am determined to do more to support victims and the public. So, as well as excluding those sentences for rape, serious child sex offences and other grooming offences, we will be introducing much tougher community measures. Nearly all offenders released will be tagged. The period of supervision will be toughened. And we will be imposing new conditions for offenders, including restriction zones agreed with victims. As part of the changes, we will be giving probation officers the power to ban offenders from driving, pubs and community events.

There will also be a new package of support for victims because they must be placed at the heart of the justice system. This will be backed by £10 million in new funding to provide trauma-informed contacts for victims, alongside a new national helpline.

The Government I lead will work to fix the prison crisis once and for all. I will not leave the same problems for my successors. We will deliver the fastest prison building programme since the Victorian era, with 14,000 new places expected by 2031.

To avoid a repeat of this situation, I have also asked the Justice Secretary to identify other ways to free up prison capacity that will be more palatable to the public.

First, I have asked him to review the indefinite sentences handed out between 2005 and 2012, called Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP). This has left many hundreds of people in prison since they were young but without any prospect of release despite having already served very long sentences.

Second, I have asked for the early release of more women prisoners to be considered, and to look at converting more of the women’s prison estate to hold male prisoners, given the lower risk they generally pose.

Third, I have asked officials to consider faster returns of foreign national offenders to their country of origin.

I have spent much of my political life campaigning for victims, from the families of the Hillsborough disaster to those affected by the infected blood scandal. I have seen the pain caused when people are let down by the very institutions meant to protect them.

The changes we are announcing today will make a difference, but I do not pretend it is a perfect solution or that it goes as far as I would like. My commitment over the months and years ahead is to rebuild our justice system so that it commands the confidence of the public. This will not happen overnight and nor without difficulty. But we will deliver a justice system that the British people expect and deserve.

Jeremy Clarkson is a multi-millionaire, and he has claimed more than £250,000 in government and EU subsidies for his farm.

Maybe he needs to be forced to write a weekly thank you email to a randomly selected taxpayer from the UK and the EU.

The rich are the real scroungers.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Eighty-six false, misleading, contradictory or unsupported claims.

One partial list.

Twenty-four months.
It is not complete. It cannot be.

Don’t take my word for it. Ask your favorite AI. Check the sources. Then post your own list in the replies.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

65. He said Biden allowed 25 million migrants into the country. The government recorded fewer than 11 million border encounters during Biden’s term, and encounters included repeat attempts and people who were expelled or removed.
66. He said Biden let in 11,888 murderers. The figure came from an immigration docket covering people who entered the country over several decades and under multiple presidents, including Trump.
67. He said King Charles agreed with him on Iran “even more than I do.” Buckingham Palace promptly clarified that the King remains politically neutral and acts on the advice of Britain’s elected government.
68. He said his ballroom “won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it.” His project then demolished the East Wing, the East Colonnade and other parts of the White House grounds.
69. He called the White House UFC event one of the most watched fights in history. Its reported audience was far below several recent boxing events.
70. He said a perfect score on a dementia screening test proved his “extreme intelligence.” The test asks patients to identify animals, recall words and draw a clock.
71. He asked crowds to remember a nationwide television blackout supposedly caused by windless turbines during the 2024 presidential debate. No such blackout occurred.
72. He spent years suggesting the Epstein records would incriminate Democrats and promising disclosure. When demands for release turned toward his own administration, he called the controversy a Democratic hoax.
73. He called it “a Democrat hoax that never ends” while Epstein’s victims stood on Capitol Hill asking his administration to release the records.
74. He denied writing the birthday message attributed to him. Epstein’s estate later provided Congress with the birthday book containing the disputed letter and signature. The document exists. Whether he authored it remains contested.
75. A New York Times review found his name mentioned more than 38,000 times in the three million pages his own Justice Department released. He says the files are fake. His own department released them.
76. He said vandals slashed the Reflecting Pool with a knife, then a box cutter, then a razor.
77. He described the liner as so strong no knife could cut it while simultaneously insisting that someone had cut it with a knife.
78. His Justice Department moved to dismiss the case against 67-year-old former Olympian David Hearn after evidence showed that flawed, rushed installation had caused widespread peeling and damage.
79. Trump responded that he disagreed “100 percent” with his own prosecutors’ conclusion.
80. He says the 2020 election was stolen. Recounts, audits, dozens of failed lawsuits, his own attorney general and members of his administration found no evidence capable of changing the result.
81. He says he won the presidency three times. He won twice.
82. He says he won the popular vote all three times. He lost it in 2016 and 2020.
83. A joint statement issued by federal and state election-security officials, including his own administration’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, called the 2020 election the most secure in American history.
84: He mocked that conclusion in a primetime address while again claiming that the election had been stolen.
85. The same speech warned of shocking vulnerabilities in American elections but offered no new evidence that widespread fraud had occurred or that the 2020 result was illegitimate.
86. He claimed hundreds of thousands of noncitizens were registered to vote. Election officials and data experts said the government’s matching method produced unverified potential matches, not proof that those people were noncitizens or had cast ballots.
