Please add the Northern Ireland Assembly to the list. People in the heart of government whose main goal is to destroy Northern Ireland from within.
Very similar to the current UK government. 😡
The Welsh Parliament - like the Scottish Parliament - is a grotesque monument to Blairite stupidity.
Full of dumb, treacherous left-wing imbeciles & a giant waste of taxpayers’ money.
The whole devolution shitshow ought to be scrapped.
I will say a thousand times, and more if I haven’t said it enough, that this Prime Minister came into the role with no recent experience in government and the government experience that he did have was from a completely different time.
He elbowed his way into the role expecting that his character was right for the job, that he would inject personality into being the Prime Minister and, I suspect, simply be a figurehead for the government with everyone else doing the thinking.
Turns out it’s not like that, partly because there’s nobody in the Labour Party who seems to know what the thinking should even be which is why he’s having to pay consultants to tell them!
His performance here was woeful, asking questions repeatedly of the Leader of the Opposition - easily done when a) you know she actually has the better answers and b) because after years out of Westminster he perhaps thought PMQs involved the PM asking, rather than answering the questions.
Two and a half more years of this. 🤦🏻♀️
How can a terrorist regime that blinded these women, sexually assaulted these political prisoners, and subjected them to mock executions be nominated to a UN committee that helps shape programs on human rights?
This is not just a slap in the face to the people of Iran. It is an insult to every democratic nation that claims to stand for human rights.
We are standing in German Parliament with a mother whose daughter was executed with a woman whose brother was executed by this regime.
They are holding the pictures of protesters who received death sentence.
Now imagine telling these women and men that the very regime responsible for their suffering has been nominated to a UN committee that helps shape the organization’s programs and priorities.
How can you look these women in the eyes and still call this human rights diplomacy?
Why do most Christians stand by in silence while other Christians are being killed? Why won’t Christians get off their butts and vote? What are they waiting for? Their house to burn the ground? Do they not see it will be too late then.
My dear Richard,
One does admire how the Hamas cheerleader arrives at every debate several stops behind the facts, holding a placard.
Rosebank is the largest untapped field in British waters. Three hundred million barrels, 69,000 a day at peak, eight per cent of our oil output, forty per cent lower emissions per barrel than the North Sea average, eight billion pounds of somebody else's money. The barrels it displaces come by tanker from countries with worse practice. The oil is burned either way. Blocking the well does not park the cars.
Your "disaster" is 200 million tonnes across a quarter of a century. Britain emits 380 million a year. Government lawyers say it breaks no carbon budget. Under one per cent of global emissions, from a country producing under one per cent of them.
On bills you are accidentally right, since the price is set globally. Although England already sends more per head to the devolved administrations than it spends on itself, the quangos and the speech police and the diversity consultancies all draw from the same pocket, and the hotels are not free either. Scotland gets £1,600 a head more than England under Barnett. Asylum hotels ran at eight million pounds a day.
So no, a new field will not cut your bill. Nothing you have built cuts anyone's bill.
Bless your heart, Comrade. Five hundred replies, the first explaining that Rosebank will have no effect, and it improves from there.
Vladimir Putin is reportedly seeking to have Anthony Fauci EXTRADITED to Russia to face COVID-era ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ Charges as part of a Deal to end the War in Ukraine.
This is HUGE!
De Noren doen niet meer mee met de Europese klimaatwaanzin: ze stoppen de ontwikkeling van pijpleiding (1.000km!) om CO2 te transporteren. Wat een onzinnig en ONRENDABEL project: CO2 opvangen en in de grond stoppen 😳! Weggegooid geld! Wég met de klimaatzeloten van @EU_Commission
Well done young man.👏👏👏👏
He was walking home from an evening fishing trip along the canal in Knottingley, England when 13-year-old Connor West noticed a man hidden in the bushes, fixed on a woman walking her dog alone.
Something about it felt wrong.
Rather than walk on, Connor went straight to the woman. He quietly told her about the figure in the undergrowth.
Then he walked beside her the whole way to her front door, making sure she got home safe.
He never even gave her his name.
The next morning, still shaken and grateful, the woman turned to local Facebook groups, trying to find the mystery boy who had looked out for her.
Connor's father, Chris, spotted the post and recognized his own son.
When he shared how proud he was, the story took off. It has now reached more than 3.1 million people.
Chris praised the calm his son showed, the instinct to steady the situation rather than let it turn into something worse.
"It's shown a great deal of maturity and courage for his age."
Then came one more thing that stopped people in their tracks.
Touched strangers wanted to collect money to reward Connor. The boy turned it down. He asked that every penny go instead to the Pontefract and Knottingley Foodbank, with winter coming.
His father admitted he is not sure he would have made that choice at 13.
"Every credit to him. It's unbelievable just how noble he is, and selfless."
A boy walked a frightened stranger home and asked for nothing. Then, given the chance to be rewarded, he handed it to families who will need it most this winter.
😡 Furious Maggie Oliver calls out Andy Burnham for sending lawyers to court to fight against implementing the child sexual abuse inquiry recommendations
Maggie was on Sky News explaining that her charity is currently in the middle of a judicial review challenging the government’s failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
She described what they are hearing in court as horrific, disgusting and dismissive. Government lawyers have argued that the fact the IICSA recommendations have not been implemented has caused “no detriment to anybody.” Oliver challenged this directly, pointing to the false hope created by repeated promises.
The government has responded that promises made in Parliament carry no legal obligation and are protected by parliamentary privilege. Her side is arguing that successive Prime Ministers and Home Secretaries have made the same promises outside Parliament as well.
She noted that the government is also claiming it has no obligation to implement the inquiry’s recommendations at all. Oliver said this position horrifies her and makes her angry, and that she hopes shining a spotlight on the case will shame the government into action.
She also addressed Andy Burnham’s recent comments about the David Walliams and Russell Brand cases, in which he said victims’ stories would bring change. Oliver pointed out that as Prime Minister he is now in the strongest possible position to act, yet his government is sending lawyers to court to argue against implementing the recommendations of a seven-year inquiry that gave thousands of survivors hope.
She finished by saying the issue matters and makes her angry, that words will not bring change and they need to put their money where their mouth is and act.
🚨 DIVERSITY STRIKES AGAIN
Another day and another two invaders jailed for sex attacks on our people.
Two men barricaded an intoxicated teenager in a room at a party before raping her, slapping her and filming the attack.
Hadi Khangheshlaghi, 25, and Armin Takhfifi, 26, were found guilty of two counts of rape apiece following the 'violent and sustained' assault at an Airbnb in in 2019.
They laughed at their victim after the attack. She was seen on CCTV leaving the building 'shaking and crying'.
In the days that followed, Khangeshlagi called the victim in an attempt to 'warn her off' reporting her ordeal.
The rapists supporters and relatives in the public gallery raised their hands and exclaimed as they were jailed.
This has to stop.
‘Cool’ Brighton school reconsiders trans changing room policy & starts observing the law. Think I’d say unlawful school rather than cool! With an over representation of children who identify as ‘gender fluid’.. of course they do😉

I’m a Huge fan of Reverend Chris Wickland @revwickland, the Vexed Vicar, and he is saying what MANY are thinking ⛪️🇬🇧
He says the King is PURPOSELY destroying the monarchy, and that the Church is being destroyed along with it.
He's talking stern. He's talking strong.
Thank god their is still clergymen willing to still speak up about what’s going on and we need to listen.
But honestly… who can disagree with him? I can't. I think he's DEFINITELY right here 🙏
He says we are heading for a socialist Islamic Republic, and he’s not wrong!!
Stephen is rare. He is truthful and honest.
Contrast that with our government that never tells the truth.
All information from the government and agencies has been “doctored”.
It is most certainly NOT the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
🤔. Lies.
🚨 Free Speech Union member and former police officer of 27 years, Stephen Gray, is appealing his conviction for reposting a meme critical of Islam.
In April, he was convicted of being “grossly offensive” — an offence under the Communications Act 2003 — after sharing a joke about the Prophet Muhammad.
The meme showed a rasher of bacon beside a man in a turban, with the caption: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!”
It referred to the Prophet Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. According to the Hadith, she was six when they married and nine when the marriage was consummated.
Stephen told the court that the post was satirical, but that he also hoped it would prompt serious debate about whether that marriage had helped make child marriage acceptable in parts of the Muslim world.
The judge rejected that argument. But we have seen judges, police and the Government attempt to enforce a de facto Islamic blasphemy law time and again.
Stephen was ordered to pay more than £1,000 in fines and costs, and now has a criminal record.
That reasoning should trouble anyone who values free speech. Satire can make a serious point, and a joke should not be denied protection simply because it is a joke. If a light-hearted tone is enough to make criticism of religion a criminal offence, then religious belief has been placed beyond the reach of mockery.
The Free Speech Union is supporting Stephen’s appeal. It is vital that he wins.
After a career spent enforcing the law, Stephen never imagined he would end up on the wrong side of it for sharing a joke. His case is a reminder that any of us could be next.
