Mr Reed also implies that we successfully defended Diego Garcia from Iranian missile attack. Untrue. Let’s set the record straight:
One Iranian ballistic missile failed in flight — malfunctioned mid-flight or broke up on re-entry. Either way it never reached the target area.
The other was engaged/intercepted by a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer nearby, which fired an SM-3 interceptor at it and destroyed it.
UK forces played no part in the defence of Diego Garcia. Nor do they have the capability to do so.
Mr Reed says UK won’t be dragged into the US’s War. Fair enough. But he’s happy for the US to defend what is a British base — and didn’t even thank them for it.

Like so many ministers in the Starmer government (maybe most) this minister — Steve Reed — has no idea what he’s talking about and is totally out of his depth. Which, when the matter is national security, is rather serious.

Hi chemist here 👋
Oil and gas isn’t just fuel.
It’s the backbone of modern life.
Fertilizers → feed billions.
Plastics → sterile medicine, safe food.
Materials → phones, insulation, clothing.

How stupid is it that we’re fighting even more wars over oil when we could have spent the same amount of money and transitioned the entire goddamn planet to renewables?

‘People will conclude from your lack of answer that they can hit us…’ @Lewis_Goodall presses Labour’s Steve Reed on the likelihood of an Iranian missile attack on British soil.

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.

Me: "Iran have attempted over 20 terrorist attacks on the UK in the past few years"
Starmer: "That's fine"
Me: "Iran are trying to destabilise our country, posing online as Scottish Independence activists to stir up tension"
Starmer: "That's fine"
Me: "Iran attacked the UK sovereign military base, RAF Akrotiri, with suicide drones"
Starmer: "That's fine"
Me: "Iran just launched two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, the UK-US military base in the Chagos Islands"
Starmer: "That's fine"
Me: "Iran tried to infiltrate the UK military base where our nuclear submarine fleet is based"
Starmer: "That's fine"
What in the hell does Iran have to do, in order for the UK to respond and defend its damn self?

The Guardian has been busy pushing the Labour line that the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war proves Ed Miliband right about renewables. Don't you believe it, says Ben Pile: the economic fundamentals haven't changed. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/22/no-…

Narinder…
He left the comments on for 7 replies… all positive… before he switched them off, as per usual.
As you can see below.
Those who RT’d him are rightly frustrated, angry & fed up with him.
NOT because he’s “having a coffee”, but for the plethora of examples of his rudeness, hypocrisy, double-standards, lies & malicious division.
He’s an elected official who should be answerable to the public, yet consistently trolls us by arrogantly refusing to answer or be held accountable for anything.
He’s been Mayor for nearly 10 years now. If you truly believe the only people who are sick to the back teeth with him are the “radicalised far-right”, then I have a live pterodactyl to sell you.
But to suggest this is simply to do with him “having a coffee” is patently absurd.

𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗠𝗔𝗡: "𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗞𝗘𝗜𝗥. 𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗡'𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗝𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗠 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦."
Dame Maureen Lipman — one of Britain's most beloved actresses, a Dame of the British Empire, and a Jewish woman who has watched antisemitism consume her country in real time — just said what the political class refuses to say.
In a new Telegraph interview, Lipman delivered the most honest political diagnosis of Keir Starmer's paralysis on Jewish issues: he can't back Jews because he's terrified of losing Muslim votes.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Not a principled policy disagreement. Not a nuanced foreign policy position. Pure electoral arithmetic: Jewish voters in Britain number around 300,000. Muslim voters number around 4 million. The Labour coalition has made its choice, and Jews are on the wrong side of the ledger.
Lipman is also unequivocal about the BBC: "The BBC is biased. Over 36,000 Iranians protesting for freedom were massacred by the regime in January. That seems to be forgotten — but if one Palestinian child dies, then Lyse Doucet is flown in to report on it."
This is a woman who resigned from the actors' union Equity after fifty years because of its vocal support for pro-Palestine marches. Who has watched a certain coldness enter her professional relationships because she refuses to pretend that Jewish lives matter less than the political convenience of her peers. Who has spent years being called extreme for saying things that are obviously true.
She called the left's selective compassion exactly what it is. And she noticed — as anyone paying attention has noticed — that the institutional bias isn't subtle anymore. It's systematic. Thirty-six thousand Iranians massacred in a two-day government crackdown. Buried. One child in Gaza. Lyse Doucet on the first plane.
Lipman is not a political figure. She is an actress and a writer and a Jewish woman living in a country that is making her feel increasingly unwelcome. The fact that she has to say these things at all — that saying them costs her professionally, socially, institutionally — is itself the story.

The fact that someone can get a art exhibition out of combining primary-school level artwork with gross antisemitism tells you an awful lot about the nature of the art world and left-wing politics in general.
Heidi Bachram@HeidiBachram
This is not the Israeli flag. This is the Jewish Star of David with blood flowing from it. That’s gross antisemitism and if it’s in this exhibition in Margate then it’s a racist display. @kent_police

Cuban journalist @yoanisanchez on the Useful Idiot convoy: ‘They claim they want to "break the energy blockade" but the meet at the Convention Palace, spending the electricity that would illuminate several buildings in my neighborhood plunged in darkness.
‘In front of microphones they reject "the policy of suffocation" against the Island and yet they embrace those who silence us, take pictures with those who repress us and smile next to those who destroy our nation, making our children emigrate and drowning our hope.’

This is so embarrassing. They came to Cuba in their hundreds, carrying less food then they would end up eating there, only to tour around in little buses and party at private concerts while Cubans continue to suffer repression, poverty, shortages and power cuts.
How much electricity did this little concert cost btw?
