We are 3 trillion pounds in debt, we keep having to raise taxes to pay off the massive interest & our colossal growing welfare bill. Yet yesterday Ed Miliband gave 88 million to Gaza when our armed forces desperately need better funding to keep our service men & women safe.
Labour’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband embraced and shook hands for the cameras with Iran’s top executioner Abbas Araghchi, foreign minister of Iran’s terror regime. The same regime that slaughtered tens of thousands of protesters in January and hangs more of them every day. Tens of thousands still sit on death row.
This is another example of how the UK’s Labour government supports rape, murder and kidnapping of innocent people by Hamas and the Ayatollah regime in Iran.
The same Miliband slaps sanctions on Israel and smears the Jewish state as the problem. Not because he cares about human life. If he did, he would not press flesh with the men who turn children into corpses for daring to protest the ayatollahs.
Labour needs Muslim votes. That is the price. Israel is the sacrifice. The victims of Islamic terror are the currency: Jews in Israel, girls in Britain, protesters in Tehran.
Shame on Ed Miliband. Shame on the entire Labour government.
FACT.
Asylum caseworkers are not allowed to reject illegal migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea even if they are on the Sex Offenders’ Register.
Those men’s human rights trump the right of British women and children to feel safe in their own country.
Madness.
It is absolutely preposterous for the Government to have opened the second window for the Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 today, and within 5 hours it was closed as all the funds had been allocated.
DEFRA didn't even have the decency to tell farmers the scheme was opening at 10am this morning - so most farmers were out farming, not reading their emails.
Hey Canada, thanks for the assisted suicide brochure. She chose chemotherapy instead.
Kristin Logan had stage 4 ovarian cancer, and according to her husband, Donovan James, while they were desperately trying to get her treated in Canada, they were confronted with MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying, Canada’s assisted dying program, while her actual cancer treatment was going nowhere. So they came to the United States, where she received chemotherapy and HIPEC surgery.
Today she’s living in Texas, in remission, lifting weights and hiking mountains. Imagine that. A woman with stage 4 cancer wanted to LIVE, and instead of helping her die, American doctors helped her fight to stay alive. Crazy concept, I know.
Canada, you can keep the assisted suicide brochure. She’ll keep climbing mountains, because I think she made her choice pretty clear. 🇺🇸
So let’s get this right Hegseth. You and your boss start a war against Iran without even informing never mind consulting your European allies, during which Iran seizes the Strait of Hormuz — which you’re now struggling to wrest back. And now you say it’s Europe’s fight rather than America’s.
No. You broke it. You fix it.
'I have never yet heard of an economy being taxed into prosperity. I have never heard of a poor person spending himself into wealth.'
Economist Arthur Laffer explains why he believes Britain has a 'totally dysfunctional' tax system.

BRITAIN, ALONE AGAIN
Tuesday. Miliband stands up in the Commons, bans goods from Jewish settlements, calls the occupation unlawful, and accuses settlers of terrorism and ethnic cleansing.
By Tuesday evening Israel had closed the British Consulate in Jerusalem, pulled British reps out of the Gaza coordination centre in Kiryat Gat, ended the UK training mission for Palestinian Authority forces, and banned twelve sitting British officials from entering the country.
That is not a diplomatic disagreement. That is a country hanging up on you mid sentence.
Foreign Minister Saar called it blatant interference in a sovereign state's election, which is in seven weeks, and accused Britain of running a domestic political stunt for the Labour conference dressed up as foreign policy. Smotrich wants the ambassador expelled. Herzog said Britain will be on the wrong side of history. That is four separate senior Israeli officials, from different wings of a fractious government, agreeing on one thing this week.
Meanwhile in Washington, Huckabee went on the Today programme and pointed out that a quarter of the medicine in British hospitals is manufactured in Israel, and asked, not rhetorically, whether Britain had actually thought this through.
And Florida found the receipt from 2019. A state anti boycott law that already bankrupted Airbnb's attempt to do exactly this now applies to any British company that complies with Miliband's ban. Congressman Fine posted the whole mechanism publicly. Any company or nation that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida, one of Britain's largest trading partners.
So in the space of one afternoon Britain managed to lose its consulate, its West Bank training mission, its Gaza coordination seat, and access to the fourth largest state economy in America, in exchange for a settlement goods ban that even Miliband's own Foreign Office reportedly warned would not work because the two economies are too interconnected to separate cleanly.
And who is applauding.
Hamas welcomed the announcement. Iran's state media ran it as a win. Corbyn, who is now personally banned from entering Israel over it, called it a step in the right direction.
That is the guest list. Britain lost Israel, irritated its largest American trading partner, and picked up praise from the people who actually did the ethnic cleansing on October the 7th.
Tugendhat stood up in the same debate and said the quiet part. Illegal settlements are wrong, settler violence against civilians is real, and none of that required reducing an entire region to one sentence timed for a party conference.
You can hold two things at once. Britain apparently cannot.
Keep going like this and the only country still returning Britain's calls is going to be the one holding the phone for Hamas.

My grandfather doesn’t believe in retirement homes. He says they’re too expensive and the food is bad. Instead, he’d rather check into a luxury hotel near the beach.
When we asked him about the cost, he said, “If I stay at a nursing home, it’s $200 a day and no one visits. If I stay at this hotel, it’s $100 a day. I get room service, a pool, and my grandkids visit me every weekend because they want to go to the beach. Plus, if I die in the lobby, the hotel manager will actually be upset.”
At the nursing home, they just call it ‘Tuesday’.
Tom Tugendhat has just dismantled Ed Miliband’s Israel boycott and sanctions policy, exposing the danger at the heart of Labour’s plans.
Watch the Shadow Foreign Secretary tear it apart as Miliband and Andy Burnham sit there visibly seething.
BREAKING 🚨Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch absolutely scathing of the planned announcements on Israel.
"Labour’s obsession with Israel is rooted in UK politics. It’s got less to do with peace in the Middle East, and more to do with trying to keep the peace in the Labour party.
British Jews should not have to watch politicians condemn antisemitism while refusing to confront the ideological movements that spread it. They should not have to listen to warm words from Downing Street while seeing Israel relentlessly presented as an international pariah.
And everyone in Britain should care.
Because this is about something larger than Israel. We cannot have a government whose political inclination at every point is to surrender, whether it is on Chagos, or at Villa Park.
The government should spend less time pandering to its partisan base and more time fixing our broken economy and getting this country back on track.
Stop allowing factional and electoral pressures to determine Britain's relationships with its allies.
You cannot claim to fight antisemitism while helping to create the political climate in which hatred of the Jewish state is used as to win votes at elections."
As the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in Florida.
It would also end any British business participating in that boycott from doing any business in Florida if it needed any official interaction with state or local government to operate (permits, tax collection).
Florida is one of Britain’s largest trading partners. They should understand that their vanity project in support of Muslim terror could cost them billions of dollars.
And for those who doubt the power of this policy, it was this same law that broke Airbnb’s misguided effort to boycott portions of Israel in 2019. They realized that this law would have bankrupted their company.
Florida has made it clear. Any company — or nation — that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida.
Katherine Birbalsingh says it straight: schools teach slavery, but they don’t hear that Britain banned it, enforced it at sea, and paid a fortune to end it.
Katherine Birbalsingh is right. That gap isn’t education it’s a political lesson.
The Arab slave trade barely gets a look in.
That’s not an accident. It’s a story built around guilt, not history.
She’s talking common sense and the truth.
Every school needs a teacher like this. This woke version of the past is damaging children and every classroom needs this kind of honesty and every classroom needs a teacher like Katherine.
Labour have to wait until a few generations don’t remember quite how bad it was 👇🏼Spain seems to be waking up tonight. But msm not showing it as usual! France next?
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.
