Am told that the SNP’s latest desperate attempt at deflection is going to be to try to blame Alex Salmond for the party’s financial protocols, desite the fact that only a tiny fraction of Murrell’s embezzlement took place under his leadership.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 3,500 years ago a Welsh goldsmith beat a single ingot of gold...

Thin enough to wrap around the shoulders of a child.

In 1833 quarry workmen broke it into pieces.

It took the British Museum 120 years to put it back together.

In October 1833, a team of workmen dug into a Bronze Age burial mound at Bryn yr Ellyllon, Mold, Flintshire, looking for stone for a wall. They broke into the cist. They found a small skeleton. And beside the bones, beaten flat against the stone, a sheet of gold.

564 grams of it. About 75% pure. Hammered thin. Worked in concentric bands of beaten pattern across the surface. Shaped to wrap around the shoulders of someone small.

🏛️ The workmen had no idea what they had. They split the gold between themselves and took it home.

Pieces were sold off, melted down, used as keepsakes.

A vicar wrote it up in The Cambrian. Decades later a museum officer began the work of finding the fragments and buying them back.

The reassembly took until 1953. 120 years from the day it was broken open. The British Museum's conservators pieced it back together against a leather backing, one fragment at a time, until the cape was whole.

It is the finest prehistoric goldwork ever found in Britain. Worked by a Welsh hand. For a child the village had set apart. In a country where the gold for it was mined, the bronze for the tools came from Cornwall, and the people who walked the hill knew the shape of every slope.

🇬🇧 You were told the finest prehistoric goldwork was continental. It was Welsh. And it is still in the British Museum.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

They preserved the child in gold.

Help us preserve their story. 👇🙏

🔥 Michelle Dewberry DESTROYS Crime and Police Commentator in Explosive Clash Over Henry Nowak Two-Tier Policing Scandal

In a fiery exchange on Dewbs & Co., Michelle Dewberry clashed with crime and police commentator Danny Shaw and didn’t hold back when discussing the Henry Nowak bodycam footage.

She argued the officers’ response was shaped by years of intense training on unconscious bias and racism:

“Everyone can see it’s a mistake. The suggestion is that the reason they made that mistake is because they likely have had their brains filled with all kinds of PowerPoint training all about unconscious bias, all about racism being one of the worst things possible in the world, worse even than potential fatal stab wounds.

Everyone is terrified to within an inch of their life to be suggested that you might be racist.”

Danny Shaw challenged her directly:

“Are you really suggesting that the police officers went there and sympathised with someone who had been racially abused over someone who had been fatally stabbed? That’s ridiculous.”

Michelle fired back without hesitation:

“Not only am I suggesting that I am
categorically stating that that was the fact and I’ll tell you why because my eyes work I’ve seen it with my own eyes millions of people have now seen it with their own eyes.”

When Danny called it “nonsense” and said she was demeaning her argument, Michelle stood her ground:

“No Danny it’s not nonsense we have all seen the horrific footage and the phone call made to police claiming a racist attack by some white person then the police turn up ignore the white person bleeding to death on the ground asking for help and handcuff while doing nothing to the person that had actually stabbed Henry.”

How can Danny dismiss this as nonsense? We’ve all seen the footage and the phone call where it was claimed they had been racially attacked by some white person.

Then the police turn up, ignore the dying white teenager bleeding to death on the ground while pleading for help, and appear to believe everything the man who had just stabbed him says.

That’s not theory, it’s what millions of people have now witnessed with their own eyes.

I cannot remember a time in my life when the political class in the UK has been so brazenly hypocritical and so profoundly out of touch with the country.

They are doing enormous damage to public confidence in politics & the system.

They cannot gaslight their way out of this.

He literally died due to the police believing a lie about him being racist because he was white.

A mental health nurse with 20 years’ experience is suing the NHS for allegedly discriminating against him because he stood as a Reform UK parliamentary candidate.

Daniel Matchett, Reform UK’s former parliamentary candidate for Rossendale and Darwen at the 2024 General Election, is now a county councillor and Cabinet Member for Public Health Strategy and Services. He is taking on the NHS.

After being selected as a parliamentary candidate, Daniel released a campaign video on X and Facebook. In the video, he spoke to an imaginary patient. There was no trust branding, no confidential information, and no reference to his employer. It was, he says, a lawful political video promoting economic growth, sovereignty, secure borders, free speech, lower taxes, scepticism about Net Zero, and opposition to woke ideology.

Nevertheless, the trust launched a formal investigation, accusing Daniel of breaching its social media policy and NHS England pre-election guidance. As is so often the case, managers claimed he had brought the trust into disrepute.

An initial letter warned that disciplinary action, including dismissal, could follow. Daniel rejected a proposed settlement agreement and opted for a hearing instead.

On 18 September 2024, with the assistance of solicitor Elliot Harmer, the trust ultimately reconsidered its position. The panel found there was no case to answer and even referred the trust’s social media policy back to the Policy Review Committee, acknowledging that key provisions were unclear and open to interpretation. After months of stress, Daniel believed he had won the disciplinary battle outright.

The ordeal forced him to take sick leave and incur significant legal costs. He subsequently brought an Employment Tribunal claim alleging discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the basis of his protected philosophical beliefs.

In June 2025, Lancashire County Council nominated him as its Local Authority Governor to the Council of Governors at Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust. However, on 11 August, he was informed that his nomination had been rejected because of an alleged conflict of interest arising from his employment with the trust.

In October 2025, the Council of Governors reaffirmed that decision, stating that it wanted someone “independent of the trust”. As Daniel points out, the irony is that the very NHS trust serving Lancashire has refused to allow the county’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing a seat at the governance table.

Daniel’s tribunal hearing is due to take place at Manchester Employment Tribunal in August 2026. The case will examine whether the trust’s actions — from the initial investigation through to its continued refusal to accept him as a publicly nominated governor — amounted to unlawful discrimination.

In his article, Daniel argues that the NHS presents itself as politically neutral while actively promoting progressive causes. At the same time, Unison — the principal trade union within the trust — runs campaigns against Reform UK, publishing material that portrays the party as a threat to public services, workers’ rights and the NHS itself.
