Some great photos of Kemi Badenoch’s visit to support the women of Piddington.

I hope what is happening here serves as a wake-up call about the very real consequences of voting for left-wing, open-border parties.

@marchong_joanna @RobertSyms They should stop selling them the rest of the g7 are not.

This really is nonsensical. Claims £14bn could be raised by increasing CGT to income tax rates.

HMRC estimates that a 10% increase in CGT would *cost* £3.5bn. Exact magnitude can be disputed, but it sure as heck wouldn't raise close to £14bn.

That night SpaceX put everything on the line.

December 21, 2015. Nearly 11 years later and it hits just as hard.

Return to flight after a rocket failure six months earlier. First Full Thrust Falcon 9. First attempt to land an orbital-class booster on land.

They had tried the droneship and failed. They had never successfully landed anything.
In mission control it was a tense count.

They went for it.

Nine minutes later a rocket that had just thrown satellites toward orbit dropped out of the Florida dark. A camera on the back of the booster caught the engines lighting, still one of the most insane images in spaceflight. Legs out. The Falcon has landed.

That was the peak of everything they had been working toward. The whole industry said it was impossible. They bet the company on that night anyway.

Spaceflight has never been the same.

Except this isn’t true is it? Maybe say we have given out huge amounts of public money to help our union paymasters? 6.3% for them - no growth for the rest of the economy.

Latest ONS figures for May–July 2026 show private-sector regular pay (excluding bonuses) growing at 2.9% nominally — its weakest rate since late 2020 — while public-sector regular pay grew at 6.3%.

📈🎉 Real wages are rising 📈🎉

Pay is growing faster than prices, and faster than last quarter.

When workers have more cash, they spend more.

And more spending means more growth.

Imagine being so scared of Zack Polanski you would sacrifice an entire industry and our nations energy security.

Weak. Weak. Weak.

@lewis_goodall Especially given you can only spend ~£34 million in the year that runs up to a GE legally.

BREAKING - Andy Burnham's Credibility

It is becoming clear that Labour are about to, yet again, delay, the decision on Jackdaw. Waiting until after the Holburn and St Pancras By Election.

If true, Andy Burnham is guilty of a gross dereliction of duty and is putting the Labour Party's interest over the national interest.

There must be no more delay, get Britain drilling.

@TrisOsborneMP @Conservatives Really?!

UC: 2.9m → 8.4m since Feb 2020 (+190%, +5.5m). Still 40k claims a week.
PIP: 4m in England & Wales, +27k extra claimants a month. PIP+DLA up 51% since Covid.

That’s not a typo - 27 THOUSAND more pip every month!

[Anthony Hind @tony_hind]

@dantomlinsonmp Heard it all before:

“We will not raise tax on working people. That means no tax rises for income tax, national insurance or VAT.”

If you’ll only put it at 5%, why no limit? In case you find a black hole that doesn’t exist?

[Anthony Hind @tony_hind]

@DouglasBeattie4 Defend this:

UC: 2.9m → 8.4m since Feb 2020 (+190%, +5.5m). Still 40k claims a week.
PIP: 4m in England & Wales, +27k extra claimants a month. PIP+DLA up 51% since Covid.

Not viable. Surrendering to fund no work.

This reminds me of the Adolescence exchange.

Badenoch is saying something which won't seem radical to the public - though many will disagree - and it's being responded to like some sort edgelord hot take.

🇺🇸 September 14, 2001. Ground Zero.

President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn.

A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him.

Bush: “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
