By now, 82 years ago, thousands of men had landed on the beaches of Normandy in a courageous operation of liberation.
Their extraordinary bravery freed us from the fear of tyranny and oppression.
We are forever in their debt.

Lammy was very enthusiastic when it came to taking the knee for George Floyd

But apparently not for Henry Nowak - who is actually British and whose murder was on British soil

The double standards and hypocrisy of the left are staggering

Out of office is on. A well earned break after months of work and local election campaigning! 🇨🇾☀️

[Matt Day @mattdaytech]

It’s so refreshing to have someone say it how it really is.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Something isn’t right in our police service.

To fix the problem, we have to first accept that there is one.

[Matt Day @mattdaytech]

@hilary4016 I agree. It’s worrying people are laughing with her. Shows we have a lot more work to do in order to win the argument.

Not backing Reform obviously but where do the Greens find these people?

Of course immigration has an effect on housing. Where does she think millions of people coming in live?

Shambolic quality of people with just zero understanding of basic maths and supply and demand.

Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre

On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens.

Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire.

The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful.

In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square.

Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared.

To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.

If there are Muslims in Britain who are uncomfortable with LGBTQ rights, they can leave and move to an Islamic country.

Trying to double down on a lie is… a choice

[Peston @itvpeston]

.@Peston: That is a travesty of Kemi Badenoch’s position!

@RobertJenrick: No it isn’t.

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick is shown @KemiBadenoch’s GMB interview and denies ‘manipulating’ a tragedy to score ‘petty political points’

Excellent news!

Tonight, the Conservative Group have taken control of Colchester City Council.

Congratulations to Cllr Paul Dundas on becoming the new Leader of the Council.

The country owes a huge debt of gratitude for the life and service of Sir Alex Younger.
He was a remarkable man, kind, brave and with a streak of integrity a mile wide. He will be missed by his friends and those lucky to have served with him.

Another great example of why politicians being overly media trained is a bad idea. Dreadful interview

[J Stewart @triffic_stuff_]

Clueless Policing Minister Sarah Jones completely falls apart under Nick Ferrari’s questioning 🤦‍♂️

In a painful LBC interview, Sarah Jones was asked a straightforward question about the Hampshire officers who handcuffed dying 18-year-old Henry Nowak as he bled out from multiple stab wounds, after wrongly treating the stabbed student as the aggressor.

Nick Ferrari: “It’s reported the officers involved won’t be referred for misconduct. Why is that?”

Jones immediately stammers and hides behind the IOPC investigation.

Ferrari presses: “As of now they haven’t been referred for misconduct? Are they still serving on frontline duties?”

Again, nothing. Just more IOPC deflection.

Ferrari: “Why can’t you tell me whether they’re still on the frontline? Don’t the people of Southampton have a right to know?”

Jones keeps parroting the same line about the IOPC “looking at footage, talking to officers, talking to the family…”

Ferrari, clearly fed up: “Minister, I asked whether they’re still serving frontline duties. Do you know whether they are or not?”

Jones starts the IOPC script again. Ferrari cuts her off:

“But do you know whether they’re still on the frontline, Minister?!”

Flustered and stuttering, she mumbles something about speaking to the chief constable.

Ferrari: “Have you asked the chief constable? It’s causing concern. You don’t know, do you?”

Then comes the most ridiculous line of all: Jones admits she does know the answer… but she won’t tell the public because “an investigation is ongoing.”

What the actual f*ck?

This has nothing to do with prejudicing an investigation. It’s a basic yes or no: Are these officers still out on the streets policing the public right now? The people of Hampshire and Southampton deserve to know.

This is what we get from this government, a Policing Minister who either doesn’t know what’s happening in her own brief or is too scared to say it. Pathetic.

[Matt Day @mattdaytech]

Whilst you're right that there are some natural skills and decision-making going on (which clearly are the wrong ones), having been media trained and having seen politicians be - she is doing what they're told to:

Ignore the question, answer the question you want to answer with your prepared speaking points. She does it repeatedly in the interview.

I have always thought that was bad advice. This flexibility gives 'computer says no' vibes and voters hate it.

[Matt Day @mattdaytech]

This is disgraceful. Straight out of the Trump playbook.

Glad Community Notes is a thing but it shouldn’t have to be done.

[Reform UK @reformparty_uk]

Kemi Badenoch, just like Starmer, doesn’t care.

Only Reform UK will openly say that white lives matter too.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Rudakubana. Calocane. Digwa.

How many warnings get ignored before we admit the truth?

When public services fear accusations of racism more than they fear threats to public safety, innocent people pay the price.
