@DrChrisParry Russia is in a real shooting war (of their own making but nonetheless…). An unidentified boat approaches one of their navel vessels (plenty of precedent for successful attacks by Ukraine) Warning shots appear a measured response.
@Steven_Swinford@Mike_Fabricant Sounds a little like Chamberlain’s Government in the lead up to the Norway debate in 1940. Clearly Starmer will win but what level of rebellion will cause him to pause and reflect on how damaged he is and how damaging for the UK is his continued residence at No 10.
Very, very important speech today by @KemiBadenoch at the @LondonDefConf. This is what sets her apart from all the other UK party leaders. "The mirror that [Trump] is holding up to Europe and that we find so uncomfortable to look in is showing us that without the United States, we cannot properly defend ourselves."
Hastings is no longer an historian. He has become a partisan for his personal views. I have given up on his current output of repetitive books that present his ‘truth’ and ignore any wider thinking. Lazy and predictable. He no longer notices and is convinced of his own moral superiority.
“We may not be able to give our troops the tanks and armoured personnel carriers they need but we’re world leaders in providing citizens with mobility scooters and payments for anxiety”. https://t.co/fFAcPLY30R spot on in the Spectator Magazine @michaelgove@spectator
@Keir_Starmer Yes but the algorithms are hopeless, better more accurate advice is already available on ChatGPT etc. The system is unusable, frustrating, simple window dressing and will ultimately harm not help the sick. Make GPs do their job not give them useless digital props to hide behind
Rachel Reeves has been speaking to the newspapers trying to sell her Budget, which given her communication abilities is a bit like asking King Herod to do your babysitting. https://t.co/CPy237gtpX. 😂
@NJ_Timothy Yes. So what has the Government done to distract? Arrest a couple of Russian ‘spies’ (who I am sure they have tracked for months). Make that the news story and hope we lose interest in this story.
🚨 World-famous historian Niall Ferguson:
“Not every people gets a state…
The Palestinians had their chance — and blew it.”
Not a hot take.
Not an opinion.
A historical fact.
It’s called reality.
🧵 Here’s why he’s right: 👇
With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution.
For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.
Dear British people,
Can you flood social media with this statement?
Retweet it, comment “done”, and let’s see how far we can push this.
Your voice matters — let’s make it echo.
@GovMikeHuckabee@POTUS@realDonaldTrump Agree the sentiment. I think you misjudge Chamberlin. He was attempting (perhaps misguidedly) to bring peace (or give the UK time to rearm). UK PM is rewarding terror to preserve the Labour/Muslim vote. Unprincipled. UK PM is no Chamberlin
@sophieheloiset Lucky escape for JD. The food and service are absolutely awful. Overpriced, pretentious rubbish. He should be thanking the staff for saving him from an appalling experience.
