@janetm50723412 Yes. There were issues with MI5 over his visits to a jailed constituent, if you remember. I doubt they’ve forgotten.

Johnson was not a Muslim. The cops do not waste their time protecting people who don’t need protecting.
In his resignation speech outside No 10, Johnson specifically thanked his protec officers for protecting him.

Boris was arguably the most famous politician when Mayor of London yet he travelled all over London on his bicycle with NO security and on the tube where he was usually inundated for selfies. Yet Khan immediately took a bomb proof carrier flanked by a back up and then a security guard. Absolutely no need for such an expensive security team. Signs of grandeur rather than necessity!

EXC - The Prime Minister has slammed Wireless Festival for booking Kanye West after his vile Nazi rants.
Sir Keir Starmer said it was “deeply concerning” the controversial US rapper is headlining the event in July.

Well said, Mr Frazer.
‘Reform’ is a clever name, one that is used continually positively in so many different contexts.
But Reform the Party hasn’t offered a single genuine ‘reform’.

Pete Hegseth repeatedly mocks "rules of engagement."
But now that a US pilot is missing and possibly capture, a reminder, rules of engagement don't just protect people we go to war against, they also protect OUR troops.

@AnthonyGlees There is no such requirement to “add the word citrus” even if your mad marmalade includes oranges lemons and limes all three.

The moment Kemi Badenoch fesses up & admits Brexit is a disaster for the UK in economic & security terms is the moment she & her Party will be taken seriously again. The Express will follow her, ditto The Telegraph & in 10 yrs The Mail.

I’m sorry but if you are against boosting trade with Europe because *checks notes* we may have to add the word ‘citrus’ to marmalade labels, you have been radicalised and are unable to think critically. You’ll also likely be a Daily Express reader (no offence).

Extraordinary. And it’s a horrifying comment on Britain today that a Mayor of London needs to be protected by five armed cops ‘because of his faith and the God he worships’. We need a full investigation.
English
An apology from the Mayor for the Clapham riot would be nice. He’s ultimately responsible for law and order in London.

Actions *do not* have consequences. That's the precise driver of the criminal impunity we've seen. And the reason replies are switched off.

You seem (to us outsiders) to be taking the Hegsethisation of the US Armed Forces with nary a murmur of disapproval. A strong democracy is built on strong & confident armed forces who are respected by political leaders. Not cowed by them. Speak up!
The Joint Staff 🇺🇸@thejointstaff
On behalf of the Joint Force and the Joint Chiefs, we extend our deepest gratitude to Chief of Staff of the Army, General Randy George, for his decades of steadfast service to our nation. Since 1988, General George and his family have consistently answered the nation’s call with honor and dedication. We are profoundly thankful to General George and his wife, Patty, for their many years of sacrifice and devotion to those who serve. As they graduate from this distinguished chapter of service and look toward the future, we wish them both continued happiness and success in all that lies ahead.

JD Vance is heading to Hungary to endorse Viktor Orban. Here is a description of the corrupt regime, and the bizarre, post-reality campaign, that the US administration now supports:

Kherson. Absolute horror.
russian fascists are dropping aerial bombs on residential neighborhoods.
And the world is still watching.
Every moment of silence gives Moscovia a vote of confidence.

Wow. The Cato Institute turning bigly against Trump. The fur will fly.
Cato Institute@CatoInstitute
President Trump treats America like his personal empire—waging unnecessary wars, enriching allies and himself, ignoring Congress, and leaving civilians and global stability in ruins, says Cato’s @Doug_Bandow. This is not what the Founders envisioned. ow.ly/3jyz50YClmN

Macron: “Our objective is not to be vassals of two hegemonic powers, the US or China”
It’s time for Europe to build a third bloc.
A bloc that includes countries that share a desire for peace, cooperation, trade, and the generation of prosperity.

No one fires generals when a war is going well. Putin & the ayatollahs are smiling.

Even @BBCNews now reporting this nonsense. A deal with EU - making marmalade and other foods cheaper - *might* mean calling it 'orange marmalade' which lots of producers do anyway! That's all....nobody will have to call it 'citrus marmalade' as BBC's own website recognises
Mark English@EULondonMark
@pritipatel Dear Ms Patel..a) as even Mail says, *maximum* change would be need for words 'orange' or 'lemon' in front of 'marmalade' which (see pics) many makers already do b) it will be easier/cheaper to import Seville oranges if there is deal with EU..c) there are more important things..

@tutt_brian Doe-eyed Andrea Leadsom, arrogant Brexiter & self-styled but faux City high-flyer who ‘validated ‘ Brexit from a City career, she promised such great things from Brexit. Odd how her cv doesn’t once mention it.
English
@AnthonyGlees This is reminiscent of the time Andrea Leadsom talked about the post-Brexit global export potential of our speciality jams, as if our economic prospects rested in the hands of the Women’s Institute.

‘The great British marmalade’. What a Continental would say.
It’s ‘British marmalade’, no ‘the’. Please focus on the important things going on in the world. Thank you.
Priti Patel MP@pritipatel
Labour is now attacking the great British marmalade! No idea Keir is so desperate to fit in with his EU pals and unpick Brexit, he's now looking to rename British marmalade to align with the EU. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses big time…. mol.im/a/15703815
