.@Nigel_Farage calls it a Boriswave - but that’s just deflection - it’s a result of Brexit, which more than anyone else - was Farage’s project. So it’s a Faragewave really. After Brexit immigration doubled to over 1m people a year - and has stayed ant that level until this year. The Tories didn’t bring it down, those Tory MPs now in Reform didn’t bring it down - Labour did. It’s back to pre Brexit levels now and heading lower. It’s not Farage we should believe or trust on Immigration it’s Starmer. Actually.

Sigh…..😞

Another day, another wildly misleading Daily Mail headline.

I mean, it certainly would be headline worthy if police had turned up and accused her of committing a crime by writing innocent FB posts.

But that's not what happened…

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

Why would people who never shut up about the importance of British sovereignty and how Brexit was our “declaration of independence” be happy to sell Britain to America?

Nigel Farage on the Jeremy Vine show backed Trump's plan to "make peace" in Ukraine.

I started my reply in Russian to go with the Kremlin mood music... then in plain English I set out why our people lost so much blood in WW1 and WW2 for a principle, that countries should not invade other countries to steal their land.

Is he the multi-billionaire James Dyson who bought estates to become one of Britain’s biggest landowners?

The same flag-waving Dyson who backed Brexit then moved his HQ from Wiltshire to Singapore?

I do believe he is.

In 2018 Elon Musk called the British diver who helped rescue 12 children from a flooded cave in Thailand, a peadophile.

It was a complete lie and it should have been a huge red flag for us all.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral.

You know what to do.

Everyone should watch this. Every herd immunity pusher. Every anti-vax fanatic. Every Sweden covidian, and particularly every lockdown sceptic who would have seen these scenes multiplying exponentially as our healthcare collapsed

None of it is true. Just like the hospitals weren't true, just like the denials of parties weren't true, just like the Brexit promises weren't true. He'll say anything to get his book attention.

Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister is holding weekly meetings of the national security council for the first time in years.

I have learned that it meets every week after cabinet for a full hour, chaired by Starmer, having met more sporadically and infrequently when Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak were prime ministers.

A senior security source said: “Boris Johnson wasn’t keen on having meetings and Sunak wasn’t desperately interested in foreign policy. We’ve all been recommending Starmer should hold meetings on a much more regular basis and put the NSC back at the heart of assessing risk to our security and the big foreign policy challenges”.

Another said: “Under Johnson it met about once a month and he would frequently cancel them at short notice. It was frustrating”.

The NSC is now meeting at lunchtime on Tuesdays on a weekly cycle. When it was set up by David Cameron in 2010 it met weekly, in the early afternoon.

It was created in response to criticism that under Tony Blair the big foreign policy, defence and security decision were taken by Blair too informally by what was known as “sofa” government.

A colleague of Cameron recalls how important the meetings were to him.

Attending Starmer’s NSC are the foreign, defence and home secretaries, the chancellor, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the heads of Mi5 and the Secret Intelligence Service, the head of the armed forces, the chair of the joint intelligence committee, Starmer’s chief of staff and the national security adviser, among others.
