@LBC Service personnel were deployed & had leave cancelled. They missed their Easter break with their families. But the prime minister and the Defence secretary go on holiday.
Our Wildcats - armed with Martlet lightweight multirole missiles - flying in formation over British Forces Cyprus (BFC) in order to bolster air defences in response to escalating tensions in the region.
@_HenryBolton And most of the time he never wears a tie , turns up to meetings with shirt sleeves crunched up as if he is about to do the washing up. A disgrace.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte just dropped TRUTH NUKES on Europe — and he’s siding with Trump.
“If anyone thinks the European Union or Europe can defend itself without the U.S., KEEP ON DREAMING. You can’t. We can’t.”
And it gets better.
“Europe — if you REALLY want to go it alone, forget 5% of GDP for defense. It would be 10%. You’d have to build your own nuclear capability.”
“That costs billions and billions. You would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom — the U.S. nuclear umbrella. So… good luck.”
There it is.
No America. No security.
Trump was right. Again.
A brief message to all those politicians, including many who served, who are queuing up to show solidarity with the Afghan veterans and the military community:
Crass though Trump's comments were, this is a bandwagon the vast majority of you have absolutely no right to jump on. Not in the week when YOU voted to shaft the NI veterans and when, even as I type this, thousands of veterans are living on the streets and others in poverty whilst you willingly hand everything they need to people who have arrived here illegally.
You should be ashamed of yourselves, because the public certainly are.
The best Burns Night joke of them all:
An English doctor is being shown around a Scottish hospital. At the end of his visit, he's shown into a ward with a number of patients who show no obvious signs of injury. He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man proclaims:-
"Fair fa' yer honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o'the puddin' race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, painch tripe or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace as lang's my arm...."
The doctor, being somewhat taken aback, goes to the next patient, who immediately launches into:-
"Some hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit."
This continues with the next patient:-
"Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie, O what a panic's in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, wi bickering brattle I wad be laith to run and chase thee, wi murdering prattle!"
"Well," said the Englishman to his Scottish colleague, "I see you saved the psychiatric ward for last."
"No, no, no," the Scottish doctor corrected him, "this is the Serious Burns Unit."
At home or abroad, @RoyalNavy maritime strike Wildcats stand ready to find, identify and ultimately neutralise threats to the UK and her allies. Armed with Martlet and Sea Venom missiles, we can deter or counter everything from UAVs and USVs, to larger warships and land based targets. We are ready to protect our nation’s interests - anytime and anywhere in the world.

Wheels down, game on ☄️
Strategic lift powering tactical effect. Moving Wildcat by C-17 or A400M lets us put naval aviation where it matters - fast. Mobility is a warfighting advantage, and @RoyalNavy Wildcat brings the punch when it arrives.

Hello @Keir_Starmer and @bphillipsonMP This is what you are facilitating by not complying with the law and not releasing the EHRC Guidance. Nurses (who pay your wages by the way) are forced to fund their fight against men in women's spaces. You are an utter disgrace!
@benonwine Sadly these antis have never never seen the result of the fox in a hen house.
Many urban dwellers can no longer leave a baby in their garden due to prowling foxes They are happy to see Halal slaughter . Probably more cars kill foxes , so let's ban the car.
Okay wait i’m confused about why it’s being banned if they’re not actually killing any animals?
The proposed ban is class war. Labour hate the countryside.
We must keep this tradition going as we need to educate everyone so they understand.
Key takeaways from the Global Defence Aviation Conference in Warsaw! This week, we'll dive into how Wildcat's capabilities address today's and tomorrow's threats. Stay tuned…

🚨🇬🇧 “FLY THEM HOME FOR CHRISTMAS” – STARMER PARODY TRACK GOES VIRAL
A new parody Christmas song, Fly Them Home For Christmas, created by Sir Starmer & the Granny Harmers (@ChrisMid), is exploding online —
a twist on Chris Rea’s classic, Driving Home For Christmas.
🔴 The track hilariously skewers Labour’s migrant madness
🔴 All proceeds go to Helping Homeless Veterans UK
🔴 A rare moment where satire captures the national mood perfectly
🔴 When parody sounds more believable than government policy, you know the country’s in trouble
Britain may be broken - but at least our humour still cuts straight through the nonsense.
