The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world. So, to all liberal Western women: Watch and learn. THIS is what real feminism looks like.

BREAKING: In Tehran, people are cheering and celebrating amid reports of Khamenei's death.

Man, what a no brainer.

It is hard to think of other examples of security forces massacring at least 20,000 of their own citizens in the space of two or three days. That is political violence at the Stalin, Hitler and Mao level.

Member of the European Parliament Afroditi Latinopoulou absolutely obliterates the hypocrisy and total indifference of the left on Iran, and calls them the cancer of Europe. Confident, smart, strong, and a superb delivery 💯 And then notice the pathetic, weak leftist idiot at the end. Her words hurt his feelings so much he immediately starts calling for an “investigation” and resorts to the same tired, lazy buzzword where “everything I disagree with is fascist.”

Yesterday, a number of Peers including Toby Young, Lord Hogan Howe and others promised to put in a welcome amendment to the Policing and Crime bill to abolish “Non Crime Hate Incidents”. My speech went further: I want to see Hate Crime abolished in its entirety. It doesn’t work, it distracts the police and opens them to ridicule. It’s become nothing but a weapon for the identitarians.

China again doubled down on solar in the first half of 2025, adding in 6 months more than America has built in its entire history. They're literally growing at a rate of 2 United States a year. Which raises an interesting question for the many people out there who, like Trump, believe that "renewables are a joke" and "green energy is a scam". Year after year, China is doubling down on renewables, now reaching investment levels of an unimaginable scale, investing far more than the rest of the world combined. China isn't exactly "woke" or known as bleeding heart liberals. They're more famous as the world's most hardheaded economic planners. If they're going all-in on renewables at this scale, investing in it like it's the winning bet of the century, maybe it's worth wondering if maybe the "joke" won't end up being on the ones laughing.

Two years after the genocidal rampage that happened on October 7, 2023, it's important to be reminded of the nature of the atrocity, even as Hamas's useful idiots continue their warped campaign to recast victims as perpetrators, perpetrators as victims.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻 In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year. Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it. ***** "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude. My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found. At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me. At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul. At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being. At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible. Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever. I’m writing this to tell you something simple: Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again. Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless. You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours. With love and gentleness, Patricia Routledge ***** Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

"Yes, Britain stands at a fork in the road. But the choice is not, as Keir Starmer claimed, between 'decency' and 'division.' It is between delusion and decision. It is between barbarism and civilization." In the wake of the terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, I urge you to read @Ayaan's searing essay.

A synagogue in Manchester. Two dead at the hands of a suspected terrorist. The response from Labour's mayors, Burnham and Khan? Let the pro-Palestine marches fill the streets of both cities on the very same day. While one community is in mourning, another is committing acts of violence against our police in Whitehall. This isn't just tone-deaf, it's a deliberate choice. It tells you exactly whose side they're on, and it isn't the victims.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Good to see accuracy on BBC News 🤰🏼

Breaking! The Islamic Republic’s official state broadcaster was just hacked—and instead of regime propaganda, Iranians saw images of the uprisings following the brutal murder of Mahsa Amini. The hackers also aired nationwide calls for protest against the regime. This is what bravery looks like. The Iranian people continue to risk their lives to resist theocracy, oppression, and terror. And yet—Western governments still bow to this regime?
