Now we saved 2,000 beagles!!
Ridglan Farms is shutting down. And the pups are going free.
Every tear gas shot, every felony charge, every day in jail — it was all worth it.
To the thousand volunteers who risked your freedom to save the pups this year, and to the millions of people around the world who followed and poured out your care, I want to say:
Thank you.
We did it. ALL of us.
There are still 15,000+ beagles at MBR who need our help. We’re coming for them.
Let’s save them all!!!
Andy Burnham blasts Reform's @RobKenyonReform for 'misogynistic' old tweets.
Yet here he is campaigning with Hugh Grant the guy famously caught paying a prostitute for a blowjob on Sunset Boulevard in '95.
This isn't the 'win' Burnham thinks it is?
Labour Hypocrisy again.
💰 The Government has signed off another £367,000 to help Indonesia with its climate policies.
Seriously, what are we doing?
Energy bills have increased six times under this government.
Millions of British households are struggling with the cost of living.
Yet somehow we have hundreds of thousands of pounds available to help other countries pursue their climate ambitions.
I like Indonesia. I’ve spent a lot of time in Jakarta and I got married in Bali. It’s a fantastic country.
But if Indonesia wants to strengthen its climate governance, Indonesia should pay for it themselves.
British taxpayers have more than enough problems of their own to fund first.
When You Can't Beat Reform, Change The Rules. Labour Just Did.
There is a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything. When those in power begin adjusting the rules of the game to determine its outcome, the game is no longer democracy. It is managed succession. That line was crossed again on Tuesday night.
Two days before the Makerfield by-election, Labour rushed a change to the mayoral voting system through the House of Lords. Regional mayors will now be elected using the supplementary vote system rather than first past the post. The change applies immediately. It will govern whoever replaces Andy Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester if he wins on Thursday and stands down.
The government's defence is that it is simply restoring the system used before Boris Johnson changed it in 2021. That argument requires the public to believe that a change Labour could have introduced at any point in two years of government became urgent on Tuesday evening, forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect.
Lord Hayward, a Conservative peer and experienced pollster, was precise in the Lords. There is no other justification for the haste, he said, other than that it solves the Labour Party's problems and prevents Reform winning a mayoralty. Not clumsy. Not rushed. Designed.
The mechanics explain why. Under first past the post, Reform could win the Greater Manchester mayoralty on a plurality of votes in a fragmented field, precisely as it won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Under the supplementary vote system, voters express a first and second preference. Lib Dem and Green voters, given a second preference, will direct those votes to Labour overwhelmingly. The change does not affect Thursday's by-election. It affects the mayoral contest that follows it, constructing an anti-Reform coalition from the second preferences of smaller parties that Reform itself cannot access.
Lord Jackson identified the wider implication. This is potentially a strategy for a progressive alliance being rolled out ahead of a general election, he said, with the aim of locking out the Conservatives and Reform from power. Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation. The supplementary vote is the local pilot for a national project. Pool second preferences, lock out the right, govern indefinitely on a minority of first preference votes.
This is not the first time. Earlier this year Labour delayed local elections after the Electoral Commission stated explicitly that the justification was not legitimate, that extending mandates damages public confidence and creates a conflict of interest by allowing those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. The Commission's objection was noted and ignored. Reform demolished Labour anyway.
Now the same instinct has been applied to a different mechanism. Not cancellation this time. Electoral system change, deployed with surgical precision forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect.
Governments confident in their mandate do not need to change the rules two days before the ballot. They face the electorate and take their chances. The timing of Tuesday night's Lords motion is not a coincidence. It is a confession.
The voters of Makerfield vote on Thursday. The question of who governs Greater Manchester after that, and under what rules, was settled in the Lords on Tuesday. Nobody voted for that.
"Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation."
LISTEN to Starmer deny feeling ANGRY or BITTER, because, in his own words, it's an incredible privilege to be PM. Not a flicker of it. Not a single crack in the calm.
Listen to what that word actually means to him. Not service. Not duty. PRIVILEGE, like the country was handed to him to keep, not lent to him to run. HIS country, to dictate exactly how he likes, and he will not be told otherwise.
Of course there isn't. Arrogant. Narcissistic. Pathological in his grip on power. Nothing where a conscience should be.
Funny, then, that twice in three months he's told his own party the exact same thing, word for word almost, like he rehearsed it and liked how it sounded.
Calm men don't need the line twice. He's clinging on so hard he's reciting himself.
He will not resign, not for the resignations, not for the disgrace, not for ninety-five of his own MPs telling him to go. Because the country was never the point. He was.
That's what he calls PRIVILEGE.
The smallest mandate of any majority government in TWO HUNDRED YEARS. MINUS 46 approval.
Ninety-five of his OWN MPs telling him to get out.
He felt none of it. He still doesn't. An ego this big can't grasp that a country hates him, it just hears the word PRIVILEGE and feels nothing else.
He blocked Burnham, broke his word doing it, and now wants him back in cabinet like none of it happened.
His own chief of staff walked out in DISGRACE, over a man Starmer put in power against an official WARNING. McSweeney didn't dress it up. He said Mandelson had wrecked the party, the country, and trust in politics itself.
Starmer's reply to that wasn't shame. It was a THANK YOU NOTE.
He never actually left. Back on the phone to him every day. Back inside Number 10. Wargaming how Starmer keeps his job. The resignation was theatre. The corruption stayed.
Police searched his own appointee's homes. MISCONDUCT IN PUBLIC OFFICE. While that was happening on the news, he was sat there telling Beth Rigby it's a PRIVILEGE.
The same lie runs through everything else he calls privilege.
He calls it a better relationship with the EU. It isn't a relationship. It's Britain crawling back into the exact rules it voted to leave, dressed up so nobody in government has to say the word rejoin out loud.
He hid digital ID behind your children's safety. Larry Ellison, who put £270 MILLION into Tony Blair's institute, told investors citizens would behave because they're being watched. Blair's ministers met Ellison's people 29 times in nine months. That's not child protection. That's a contract.
It's the same playbook every Western government is running, the EU, Australia, half of America state by state, all building the same digital ID infrastructure behind the same children's safety story, their own regulators admitting they're working together on it. He's just reading his part.
That's not privilege. That's a man who mistook a country for something he's owed. That's not service. That's ownership dressed up as humility.
He said there's no anger in him. There doesn't need to be. A man who already thinks he owns the country has nothing left to be angry about.
That's a man with DEAD EYES, standing in the wreckage of everything he's broken, SMILING, and calling it an HONOUR.
EXPOSED.
Just checking: Labour has big moral issues with the Reform candidate's X posts about women. But they're perfectly fine with a man who pays prostitutes for blow jobs supporting their campaign?

It would appear that the "Russian" ship, (actually flagged as Cameroon), boarded by UK Special Forces a few days ago had been cleared of all it's crew prior to the film crew entering the ship and pretending they were were filming a full sweep of the vessel.
Yes, our highly trained Armed Service personnel were used as actors in a shoddy propaganda video to try to convince the world that @Keir_Starmer had grown some bollocks.
They must now feel like a bunch of mugs, taken for fools, used as fodder in one of Starmers little movies.
Absolutely EVERYTHING this dickhead touches is tainted.
His promises, assertions and pledges all turn to shit.
He's a compulsive liar. He uses untold millions of £'s of public funds to propagate fake "messenging" and completely fabricated versions of events.
Most of the electorate appear to detest him. His only friends on the World stage are the "leaders" he continues to buy by giving them billions of £'s of our money.
He's a disgusting, insidious little (cough) "man" who shouldn't be anywhere near Westminster let alone be given free reign to continually use our Parliament for his, and his cronies, own nefarious gain.
The CEO of the open borders ‘charity’ posing with the illegal migrants the BBC let her plant on Question Time.
All of them were chosen to ask a question!
The BBC is a disgraceful propaganda channel!
🚨The BBC caught red handed.
Remember the Question Time episode where illegal migrants were planted in the audience to lecture me and the country on our border policy?
We now have *confirmation* the BBC PLANTED there and they were COACHED on what to say by a charity pushing for open borders.
The CEO of this 'charity', Jenni Regan, was also in the audience and chosen to ask a question.
Note, when I formally complained to the BBC about this and explicitly asked them if the audience members were coached, the BBC refused to answer.
Now we know why.
One of these men who broke into the country began reading a statement warning against Britain leaving the ECHR, even featuring the Northern Ireland protocol!
One of them specifically attacked me and my family.
Because they had been coached to do so.
The BBC is morally bankrupt.
To deliberately plant men who broke into Britain illegally in the audience, allow them to be told what to say and let them launch into attacks on Reform and lecture the British people is disgusting behaviour.
To conceal it is even more outrageous.
They should apologise immediately.
Natural England - a government organisation, wants to cull thousands of Dartmoor ponies in the name of ‘biodiversity’.
We cannot let this happen.
Keir Starmer could stop this senseless slaughter - but right now is choosing not to.
The Labour government must not let an unaccountable quango kill off Dartmoor’s beloved ponies.
Sign our petition to demand Keir Starmer overrules Natural England, and stops this ridiculous nonsense immediately 👉 https://t.co/4CjN308Kzw
This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.

🚨 West Hertfordshire NHS Trust has signed off almost £487,000 on translation services.
And it raises a simple question:
Why?
The NHS spends over £100,000 every single day on translation services across the country.
But almost everyone has a device in their pocket capable of translating for free.
And if a Brit travels abroad and needs medical treatment, they are generally expected to pay for their own translation needs.
So why are British taxpayers funding tens of millions of pounds a year on services that modern technology can provide for free?
At a time when patients cannot get appointments, waiting lists remain huge and NHS finances are under pressure, surely there are better places to spend the money.
