No we don’t. Women are an essential part of our police service; had you served alongside women, you’d know. If you weren’t such a misogynist, you’d know. If you got punched in the nose, you’d probably cry, too.

Women officers are essential. Front line, back office, traffic, CID, right throughout the service. No conversation needed.

Last night we voted against Ed Miliband’s new Net Zero target.

Why? Watch this.

Not a single Labour MP could say what it will mean for the cost of food or energy for our constituents - or for British jobs and industry.

They’re going to spend hundreds of billions of pounds of YOUR money and they didn’t even seem to care what it will mean for you.

Parliament should be better than this.

By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”

Four points on Kemi at PMQs. 1) Labour MPs ARE traitors. 2) The education secretary is a class warrior and ‘spiteful’ with it. 3) The Chancellor is useless. 4) Miliband did stitch up his own brother. Men hate it when a woman speaks truth to power.

Theresa May's abject "negotiation" with Barnier nearly brought down the British constitution, almost destroyed the Conservative Party, and certainly wrecked her own premiership.

But now it's just "friendship" and "respect". It's all just a game and we can all move on.

When you're asked why people don't trust the British governing class - well, here's an example of why.

Grow up. You’re not in student politics any more.

Keir Starmer was an authoritarian posing as a liberal. He waged war on trial by jury. He wanted to crush criticism of Islam. He tried to police our fury over Henry Nowak. He had a deep distrust of the public. Thank God he’s gone, says Brendan O’Neill

The brother of a Kent Police officer killed while on duty has raised nearly £10,000 for the emergency service that fought to save his life.

PC Bradley Corke, 27, from Hastings in East Sussex, died in March following a car crash which occurred while he was responding to an emergency call in Farningham, near Swanley, in Kent.

His brother, Nathan, and friends, Jamie Simpson and Joe Worsley, have completed the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey and Sussex (KSSX).

"They worked on Brad and got his heart going again after it happened, giving us a chance to say goodbye to him at the hospital. There are no words to thank them enough," Nathan said.

The trio took on the highest peak in Scotland, Ben Nevis, and Wales' Yr Wyddfa, along with Helvellyn, England's third highest.

The inclusion of Helvellyn instead of the traditional choice of Scafell Pike was due to the personal resonance it had for PC Corke and Simpson, who climbed it together in June 2024.

And the feat was made even more gruelling by the fact that the participants did it all within a 24-hour window.

The trio beat the challenge, completing it in 21 hours and 57 minutes earlier this month.

They also set off a blue flare at the summit of each mountain as a tribute to Bradley, both as a life-long Brighton & Hove Albion supporter and a fallen police officer.

"Every time we saw the blue smoke, it was very emotional," Nathan said.
"It felt like Brad was watching over us and smiling."

He added that all three would talk to Corke for inspiration during the challenge.

"He had the attitude of never give up, keep pushing yourself," Nathan said, adding that the experience had helped bring the three men closer together.

"We've become so close since everything happened," Nathan said.

"We've relied on each other a lot and we speak to each other every day about how we're feeling."

A mockery, yet another person who stands as an MP then promptly decries the monarchy

Sack every single one of them (I know you can’t)

You’ll be paid the kings shilling and very handsomely but it’s about your pantomime isn’t it ?

Attempts to bring a private prosecution against a man with dual British Israeli nationality for serving as a reservist in the IDF after October 7th have been thrown out by a judge in the most glorious way I've ever seen. The judge called it "embarrassing".

Judge Goldspring's comments are essentially that if Pro Palestinian activists wish to engage in lawfare they should at least know what the law is.

Comments from the judge include:

“This application is legally flawed, evidentially deficient, and procedurally defective. It constitutes an abuse of the process of this court, driven by an improper motive and facilitated by serious breaches of the duty of candor. The application for a summons is refused.”

ISRAEL IS NOT ATTACKING LEBANON, YOU IDJITS!!

If they were, the Lebanese Army would be defending, and attacking the IDF. But they are nowhere to be found.

Why?

Because the Lebanese are OVERJOYED that the IDF is doing the dangerous job of taking out the Hezbollah trash.

In his resignation speech, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer boasted that he protected British children from social media.
Someone needs to remind him that he was supposed to protect them from rape and sexual exploitation.

Today is also the end of Lord Hermer. A horrible little man. Now he can get back to his day job - representing jihadis and people linked to the IRA, and hounding brave British military veterans.

Everyone who says police stop and search too many black youths are complicit in the genocide of the very demographic they think they are protecting.
