🚨NEW: Did you see the BBC helicopter that followed Andy Burnham's train from Manchester to London?

Well, I've submitted a Freedom of Information request to find out how much licence fee payers' money was *WASTED* on this blatant state-sponsored propaganda!

Kemi destroyed Labour at PMQs today. It was brutal.

Labour are totally incompetent, nasty, spiteful and totally out of their depth. They’re in it for themselves. The problem is the Labour Party.

If you missed it, take a look at some of the best bits. Absolutely on fire 🔥👇🏼

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Can't believe I missed this.

How the HELL can the BBC justify spending licence fee payers' money on a helicopter to follow a sodding train that Andy Burnham in on?

This is blatant propaganda.
Outrageous.

Most people watch the World Cup from a cafe or a couch. Jordan’s fans watch it at 5:00 AM from a 1,900-year-old ancient theatre. 🇯🇴

Football with a view like this hits different. 🏛️🤩

This new SNP MP Lara Bird has shown utter contempt for Parliament, our democratic institutions, and the oath she just took.

She couldn’t even pretend to take it seriously.

First, she prefaced the official oath with her own nationalist disclaimer:

“I take this oath only so that I can serve the people of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry. My first allegiance is and always will be the sovereign people of Scotland.”

Then, while reciting the actual words “I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to the law, so help me God” she visibly crossed her fingers like a sulky schoolgirl.

The sheer disdain is palpable. She can barely contain her contempt at having to participate in the British democratic system at all. Yet here she is, happily taking the seat, the £90k+ salary, the expenses, and the platform that Westminster provides all while sneering at it.

SNP MPs love to rail against “Westminster” but never quite enough to refuse the perks. Real principle would be refusing the oath entirely like Sinn Féin and not taking the seat.

If you hold Parliament and the constitutional oath in such open contempt, don’t take part. Your constituents deserve better than performative playground antics from someone who clearly doesn’t respect the institution they’re paid to serve in.

Embarrassing.

🚨 A STUNNING SNUB TO THE KING AND OUR NATION.

Keir Starmer is officially out, but the Labour Party has managed to deliver one final, sickening insult to our country's traditions.

For the first time in modern history, a Prime Minister informed the Monarch of his resignation over the phone, announcing it to the media before even having the basic decency to go to Buckingham Palace. 🤡

Every other Prime Minister in our history has had the dignity to look the Monarch in the eye and resign in person.

But this is exactly what the modern Labour Party represents.

They have absolutely zero respect for our heritage, zero respect for our constitutional traditions, and zero respect for the British public. 💷

They treat our ancient institutions with total contempt, and they are already preparing to install another unelected, pro-EU careerist like Andy Burnham without a single vote from you.

Starmer might be history, but the toxic Labour establishment is still running the show and managing our decline.

RT if you are sick to the back teeth of this classless Labour regime and demand a general election now! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

I often wonder what the fuck is wrong with society 👇

Heartfelt congratulations to the person who dug up the pitch at the Crown Hill Cricket Ground to prove their "success."

You succeeded in your mission.

Westcroft Cricket Club has, with great regret, been forced to withdraw from the league because it is no longer possible for other teams to play in this constant environment of vandalism.

You did not just damage a pitch; you stripped away the favorite sport, the joy, the friendships, and the healthy activities of over 80 children, youths, and adult players.

Congratulations on impacting an entire cricketing community.

Congratulations on undermining the hard work of volunteers who dedicate their time, money, and energy to promote the sport.

Congratulations on disappointing the parents who wanted to see their children engaged in positive activities.

Cricket is not just a game; it is a source of discipline, friendship, respect, and community cohesion.

It is tragic that someone’s negative mindset and destructive actions have washed away the happiness of so many people.

Hopefully, you are satisfied today knowing that a single action of yours has affected dozens of matches, hundreds of hours of hard work, and the happiness of countless individuals. But remember, grounds can be rebuilt, pitches can be prepared again, and the cricket community can bounce back stronger than ever.

Our full support and respect goes out to Westcroft Cricket Club, its players, volunteers, and supporters.

We hope this difficult time passes quickly and that the voices of children and youth will once again echo through the cricket ground.

A Call to the Community

We request all readers to strongly condemn this shameful act. The person who damaged the cricket ground and pitch did not just dig up soil—they attacked the happiness of dozens of children, youth, and athletes.

If you also believe that damaging sports fields, youth activities, and community hard work is unacceptable, then please raise your voice against this act.

Express your condemnation at least once, so a message goes out that our community will never accept such negative and destructive behavior.

Your single comment, a word, or even one voice can serve as proof of standing with this community.

Show solidarity with Westcroft Cricket Club, its 80+ players, and all its volunteers.

Sports stand for love, unity, and positive engagement. It is the responsibility of us all to discourage those who destroy them.

Westcroft Cricket Club.

Jess Phillips never misses a chance to stick the knife into Keir Starmer.

Now that she’s out of government and he’s deeply unpopular, heading for the exit, she’s suddenly all criticism.

Rewind to when she was recently in office: on GMB she gushed that “I have never ever worked with a male politician who is as big an ally and has helped me move the tides of power on violence against women and girls more than Keir Starmer.”

Today on Laura Kuenssberg’s show, when asked how Labour MPs explain to constituents why they’re booting out the leader who delivered a massive majority, Phillips replied:

“In my constituency they absolutely didn’t [vote for Starmer]! To be perfectly honest I won in spite of Keir Starmer, and he would be the very person to admit that.”

Actually, Jess, I very much doubt he would admit that.

Zero loyalty to the man you only recently called your biggest ally. Classic politician: praise him to his face when it suits you, then trash him the moment the wind changes and you’re in business for yourself.

Politicians are snakes, but that’s not exactly breaking news, is it? 🐍

On Christmas Day 1937, a football match between Chelsea and Charlton Athletic was abandoned at Stamford Bridge due to the worst London fog since 1904.

Everyone left the pitch.

Everyone except Charlton goalkeeper Sam Bartram.

For the next 15 minutes, he stood alone in the thick fog, arms outstretched, guarding an empty goal — convinced his teammates were dominating at the other end and that no attack was coming his way.

It was only when a police officer emerged from the curtain of fog and stared at him in disbelief that he finally learned the truth.
"What on earth are you doing here?" the officer gasped. "The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago."

When Bartram finally made it to the dressing room, his teammates — already bathed and back in their street clothes — were in fits of laughter.

He went on to make 623 appearances for Charlton Athletic, becoming the club's greatest ever goalkeeper. A statue of him now stands outside their stadium.

The fog took the game. It never took his focus.
