Flawed human. Zero resistance to a cheese and wine do.

This is wrong. It doesn't matter who you vote for, but Kemi Badenoch expressly stated that ALL lives matter and it shouldn't be about someone's race. This sort of "attack ad" isn't about facing up to important issues, it's just a lie.

Jas Singh, representing the Sikh Federation (UK) @SikhFedUK speaking at a press conference at Guru Nanak Gurdwara, Smethwick @GNGSmethwick following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa for 21 years for the murder of Henry Novak.

The Sikh community has unequivocally condemned in the strongest terms Vickrum Digwa for not only the murder of Henry Novak for which he is solely responsible, but also the lies he has told.  

He made the wrong choice, should have pleaded guilty and must now serve his lengthy prison sentence.

@Keir_Starmer Will you be taking the knee for Henry Prime Minister?

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@darrenpjones @bbcquestiontime Is Tony Blair talking Labour values Darren? You know Tony … one of your former leaders and someone who smashed three election victories. Who wasn’t the most unpopular prime minister on record.

Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this in two weeks.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

@NDIronsMP This really is the equivalent of rolling something brown and sticky in glitter. Now get your government to do another U turn on its disastrous energy policies.

RIP Jeremy Hanley, local Richmond MP and inspiration for one of the great political lines after returning to parliament after the 1983 GE:

“Mrs Thatcher, I want to thank you. I won by just 74 votes and without them I wouldn’t be here. I think your visit to the constituency made all the difference. You are responsible for those 74 votes.”

“No Jeremy,” she replied gravely. “It is you who were responsible for the 74 votes. I was responsible for the 20,000.”

@DavidLammy You say that background should not determine success and yet mention that you are black as part of the reason you are proud. All rather confusing or is it white background you are keen to eradicate?

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@DaleVince No. He didn’t have a massive mandate. Barely over 20% of the population in real terms voted for him. He didn’t win the election. The Conservatives lost it. If there is a challenge don’t fret. I expect Labour as a party of high integrity will announce a general election. Not.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@AngelaRayner I am a working person and you have done nothing for me except make me poorer.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@Keir_Starmer Ha ha. That’s very funny. The politics of division and of envy? No thanks.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@Keir_Starmer You are definitely not on my side

A man has been found guilty of preparing terrorist acts. Armed officers arrested him as he attempted to breach security at the Israeli Embassy in London, carrying two knives.

@nigelmp Where to start!

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@Glinner @DonnaDlm71 Oh yes! I recall the appalling rate of inflation in the 70s and my parents tooling up for a good racially motivated stab fest. Not.

There are no words.

@zarahsultana Don’t the political class hate it when they are told they don’t have a clue.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@peterkyle No. You are the party of high welfare spend and low growth.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@LukePollard She didn’t say it would be fixed. She says your own spending priorities and judgments are wrong. She is right.

[Rob Instrell @robinstrell]

@SpanishDan1 I doubt that. Her era prioritised the use of the 1971 Immigration Act to deport foreign nations who were not conducive to the common good. Quite right too.
