We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:
Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea.
Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.
Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised.
Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Ah yes, Norway - the country that didn't sell off their oil and gas for a quick profit in the 80s and now continue to benefit from profits, dividends and taxes, generating a wealth fund worth over £200k for every citizen.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
From @springsteen :
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free, Bruce Springsteen
Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
This is the Covid Memorial wall in London. It took me a full 10 minutes to walk its length in 2022.
Then, there were 197,635 Covid deaths.
Now, there are >230k. Boris Johnson’s unforgivable legacy.
Then, we had no power.
Now, finally, we do.

Has Johnny Mercer’s wife had the biggest pay rise in the public sector?
She’s taxpayer funded £45,000 to work in his office
Since 2016 he's TRIPLED her salary band from £15,000 to £45,000
@JohnnyMercerUK desperate for a continuation of him & his wife £160,000 income plus expenses....while he criticises foodbank use
Note: The practice of employing 'connected parties' was stopped in 2017 after MP expenses scandal, unless that person was already employed. Ridiculous #FridayFeeling
Vote @FredThomasUK in Plymouth Moor View 👍🏼
Hope to be making a trip down there soon 😉
@Jeremy_Hunt With the greatest of respect Jeremy, you operate like a bunch of abusers telling their victims that they'll be worse off without them
Your problem is that we see you 👀
You're exposed
We'll wipe you out in this election
You're welcome 🌈🌈🌈
