If what I’m hearing is true and the government intends to cancel eight Type 83 destroyers and five Type 32 frigates, they’re lunatics who are placing the country at significant risk.

USVs and UUSVs are vital, yes, but so is a surface and a submarine fleet of manned fighting vessels.

Shocking investigation into the government's support for plug-in solar, by David Turver.

Ed Miliband wants these units to be sold in Lidl and Sainsbury's for self-installation.

But the safety test the government commissioned is even shonkier than Miliband's agenda.

Did last week's heatwave really beat 1976? Not likely, says Paul Homewood in the Climate Skeptic, who argues the Met Office's "hottest evah" claims fall apart the moment you look at where the readings came from. https://t.co/35tgRUXLBZ

The Government subsidises people to live in some of the most expensive houses in Britain.

A 7-bedroom house in central London, for £744 a month!

How can that be fair? People who work hard already struggle to pay their own rent, let alone the rents of those who aren't working.

Sky interview with Labours Steve Reed.

Talking about new refugee routes.

Reed..
“We need to have safe and secure routes so that people who have a right to come to this country to seek asylum can come here and be supported”

Wrong.
They have no rights unless our government gives them.

We have been far too generous dishing out those rights in the last two decades.

Please take the time to watch this. This is why I’m pushing for Hull to be included in the National Grooming Gang Inquiry.

Hull’s three Labour MPs voted against a national grooming gang inquiry. Hull has been a Labour stronghold for decades, yet many people feel our city has been forgotten. We saw that frustration reflected in the local elections, where many voters turned away from Labour and voted for Reform.

People in Hull are asking for action on crime, law and order, community safety, housing, jobs, and the cost of living. Instead, many feel their concerns are ignored while our communities continue to struggle.

The people of Hull deserve answers, accountability, and the same attention given to every other town and city affected by this scandal. It’s time to focus on what matters to the people of Hull.

Well done, Hull’s Child sexual exploitation team and to all the police officers who worked tirelessly on this case.

Ms Mahmood's scheme is purportedly "Based on the Ukrainian Sponsorship Scheme".

Just to remind you that the Ukrainian Scheme offered an initial 18 month visa, extendable by application, but with no Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Every week I get the same comment. "Why is your farm shop meat so much more expensive than the supermarket?"
It's a fair question. But it's the wrong question.
The real question is — how is the supermarket so cheap? And when you understand the four mechanisms they use to get to that price, you'll realise you've already been paying the full cost. It just doesn't show up on your receipt.

🚨MY HOME IS BEING DESTROYED BY LABOUR! 💔😡

This was Hove Lawns last summer - a wide stretch of grass beside the beach, and a popular place for locals to exercise, picnic, and relax.
I took this picture when a handful of tents pitched there illegally, and used the public toilets- built for beach goers and promenaders-for their water supply.
They were moved on under
The Vagrancy Act.

This act was introduced in 1824 for punishment of “idle and disorderly persons, and rogues and vagabonds, in England”.
But Labour’s Angela Rayner scrapped the protective act when she was Deputy Prime Minister- and that repeal comes into force today.

Rayner lost her government role when she dodged stamp duty to buy a seaside home.
Guess where that home is?
- A minute’s walk from this pretty spot.
Unfortunately, so is mine.🙄

I predict these lawns are soon to become a popular seaside shanty town full of ‘idle and disorderly persons’, enjoying free camping by the sea, and resulting in a rise in litter and crime, and a decrease in public hygiene and property value.💔

Thanks Ang- you fool!
Labour is destroying everything so fast!😡
How can Britain survive three more years of destructive policies like this?

A very spiteful community note has been added here, pointing out that overall teacher numbers actually fell by 1900. Perhaps Phillipson will moan to the press about that too

[Free Speech Shell @FreespeechShell]

It's been reported that the majority of refugees to be imported into the UK under Shabana Mahmood's new scheme are set to be from Sudan and Eritrea.

The UK Government advises against all travel to Sudan due to the ongoing armed conflict, widespread violence, armed robbery, kidnapping, and the collapse of essential services, making it extremely dangerous for civilians.

These sound like perfect people to allow into our bedrooms for £350 a month?

Women and children in Sudan have been particularly affected, with sexual violence, including rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, and abuse of girls and, in some cases, very young children.

So let's just take the women and children then?

Oh no that's right many get killed on their way here by the very men also taking the journey to become British nationals.

Welcome to Great Britain, the new third world cesspit.

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

Labour still haven’t learnt from their mistakes. They think yet more tax rises is what our economy needs.

If Andy Burnham doesn’t rule out coming back for more tax, we are in for another summer of damaging speculation - just like we had last year - with businesses putting off investment and hiring, and investors leaving the country.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

In yet another Orwellian move, the Government announced in a green paper this week that it wants to decide what news people can and cannot see, with plans to push approved outlets to the top of social media feeds.

Ministers should not be deciding which news sources the public read — especially in an era when three-quarters of under-25s say they get their news from social media.

As written in The Times, “In a state-sponsored ­regime in which inconvenient news was pushed out of view, would the grooming gangs scandal or the excesses of transgender ideology ever have come to light? You shouldn’t choose to trust ­everything you read online; but you shouldn’t trust the state to make the choice for you, either”.

This is dystopian.

Labour‑run Westminster has just reintroduced lifetime tenancies for council‑house residents – secure for life, regardless of future income, with the right to pass homes on to family members – pitching it as stability for renters.

At the same time, national Labour policy is tightening right‑to‑buy so fewer tenants can ever move from secure rent into ownership, even as senior figures like Phillipson “weaponise” their own right‑to‑buy stories to prove how in touch they are.

The result is a two‑tier promise: if you’re already in, we’ll protect your tenancy for life; if you want to become an owner in the way our families did, that path is now narrower, slower and more tightly policed – especially if councils can’t replace the stock.

Conservatives call that “an attack on aspiration”; left housing campaigners say it doesn’t go far enough to rebuild council stock or curb private rents. Phillipson ends up symbolising both critiques: too restrictive for would‑be buyers, too timid for those who want a full social‑housing reset.

When policy leaves everyone angry and solves little, it’s usually because the politics came first and the maths came later.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Wait, huh? A taxpayer funded institution thinks it’s above the law?

If I ignore the law, I can be arrested.

If a publicly funded institution does, it calls it “guidance”, “policy” or “waiting for clarification”.

One rule for ordinary people and another for instruments of the state….. pay attention, this is important 💣

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

This MP was all about Oxfordshire's "tradition of welcome" towards illegal migrants.

But now the Government plans to put them in his area, he's not so keen.

The Lib Dems happily support illegal migrants, as long as they don’t have to live near them. What does that tell you?

[Annunziata Rees-Mogg @zatzi]

“My understanding from speaking to the police… is there are no reported cases and also no indication of the grooming gangs that she [Susan Hall] is concerned about in London.

“That is not to say it could not have happened… but… I have no indication of them being in London… It is dissimilar to the cases that are being reported. There are no reported cases.”

It’s hard to reopen 4000 cases that were never reported isn’t it?

Or was Khan lying?

I think we all know the answer…

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

This is a terrible idea.

If you remove the powers to deal with street encampments, don't be surprised if Britain starts seeing the kind of sprawling tent cities that have become common in parts of America.

That isn't compassion. It's failed policy.

Women, children and vulnerable people will be the ones paying the price if our streets become less safe.

[Howard Cox @HowardCCox]

The @UKLabour Government is now blackmailing firms to get what they want. @Ed_Miliband forces wind firms to back unions or lose subsidies. So this is the way to push #NetZero but keep the unions onside. This is tantamount to being criminal

Dozens of businesses supplying the offshore wind industry have been pressured into adopting pro-union rules after the Energy Secretary warned he would reduce their access to taxpayer funds unless they complied
