NEW: Sun reporting Downing Street and Foreign Office have contacted the Trump admin for “clarification” on US comments about UK civilisational decline and two tier policing.

What needs clarifying, exactly? Everyone but the Labour government can see it.

@TerraOrBust Do you think they’ll compute that it has inflated figures for years too?

@JeffreySmart_M @Schuldensuehner And for many years… stronger…. Lest we forget

Everyone who bent a knee for a crackhead in Minneapolis is telling you to be quiet about a teenager getting murdered in Southampton.

British politicians could not keep their mouths shut about America when George Floyd was killed.

Quit your bitching.

Good news. My patriotic friend @LordWeirDUP won the Private Members’ Bill ballot, and has just introduced a Bill to prohibit any change in the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands without the consent of both Parliament and the Chagossian people.
We are going to win this thing.

FYI. opponents of Brexit often compare the performance of the UK economy to euro area or EU aggregates that include Ireland's infamous GDP data, which are distorted by the activities of multinationals.

Today's new figures for Q1 show why you shouldn't do that! 👇

The 0.1% q/q fall in EU GDP was dragged down by a 12.1% slump in Ireland (mainly pharma).

France was also down 0.1%, but Germany and Italy managed growth of 0.3%, and Spain 0.6% (the same as the UK).

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

A 🧵 on what happens next.

@SalomonSoup @alanmendoza They are clearly rattled by the tories and restore.

@Hamza_a96 Did the police stand over the Saudi student belittling him and ignoring his pleas for an ambulance? Because as far as I can see that is what @reformparty_uk is keen to change.

Open Community Invitation

On behalf of the Management Committee of Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall, we humbly extend an open invitation to all members of the community to join us in prayer and remembrance for Henry Nowak.

Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall is one of the largest and most respected Sikh institutions in the United Kingdom and Europe, serving as a spiritual, educational, and community hub for thousands of people. The Gurdwara is also renowned for its free community kitchen (Langar), where nutritious meals are served to all visitors regardless of faith, background, nationality, or social status. In keeping with its longstanding commitment to service, compassion, and community cohesion, the Gurdwara will be holding an Akhand Paath in Henry’s memory.

An Akhand Paath is the continuous, uninterrupted recitation of the entire Guru Granth Sahib Ji from beginning to end, carried out day and night without pause. This sacred prayer is performed to seek peace, strength, blessings, and the wellbeing of all humanity.

In the spirit of Sarbat Da Bhalla (the welfare of all), we invite people of all faiths and backgrounds to attend, pay their respects, join in prayer, and partake in Langar as we remember Henry, support his family and friends, and stand together in compassion during this difficult time.

Bhog Ceremony (Conclusion):
📅 Sunday, 7th June 2026
🕙 10:00 AM

Venue:
📍 Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall

At this difficult time, let us come together.

Everyone is welcome.

@TomlinsonCJ @Bushra1Shaikh Not sure you know this Chris.

[David Deutsch @DavidDeutschOxf]

The recent foul murder by a Sikh was an outlier: in aggregate, Sikhs are less violent than the general population of Britain. (And Hindus less still.) @grok please verify.

[Hooner @robcalhoun]

@DPJHodges This gives me comfort he will be ok

[Department of State @StateDept]

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

Lower taxes? Here in Mississippi we’re abolishing income tax. I spent 12 years in Parliament trying to get British conservatives to do similar.
