I think there's a complete collapse of confidence in the Labour government They are corrupt, they are liars and they are completely in over their heads Nothing good can happen until they are gone Oh ! That's the door bell ! Must be the police
Kevin Hollinrake MP@kevinhollinrake

Morgan McSweeney’s government phone “stolen” only days before he was forced to release it and its contents? Come off it. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. What are the Government trying to hide? The public aren’t fools. Publish everything. Now.

A Parliament of Charity Workers and Lobbyists. In a Time of War. Of 238 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024, 72 worked in the charitable sector, 72 were political employees and 70 worked in communications or lobbying. Roughly ninety percent have never worked in defence, manufacturing, engineering, medicine or law enforcement. A parliamentary source quoted in the Sunday Times put it plainly. If only we had the same number with defence or military experience, maybe we'd be in a different place. Maybe. But the problem runs deeper than defence spending. It runs to the question of what kind of person ends up in parliament, what professional formation shapes their instincts, and whose interests they are constitutionally equipped to represent. Charity sector workers are trained to see the world through the lens of vulnerable groups, international obligations and institutional compassion. Political employees are trained to manage narratives and avoid uncomfortable truths. Communications and lobbying professionals are trained to advance the interests of whoever is paying them. Not one of those professional backgrounds prepares you for the question of how to defend a sovereign nation, manage a border, hold a foreign state accountable or protect a citizen from an Iranian proxy group that is firebombing Jewish ambulances on British streets. The parliament that responded to the Golders Green firebombing by debating the language used to describe it is a parliament staffed by people whose entire professional lives have trained them to manage perception rather than confront reality. The government that rolled out an anti-Muslim hostility definition while twenty Iranian backed terrorist plots were being planned on British streets is a government whose instinct is accommodation rather than accountability. The thirty six MPs who wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding Nick Timothy's investigation were not all acting from professional instinct. Several have documented histories of antisemitic language or associations. Others represent constituencies where the Muslim vote is the primary electoral consideration. The Sunday Times source suggests the problem is defence spending priorities. It is that. But it is also the Trafalgar Square response, where Keir Starmer reached for Tommy Robinson rather than engaging with a theological argument he knew he could not answer. It is the Attorney General deploying his Jewish identity to provide cover for a false equivalence he knew to be false. It is the parliamentary machinery mobilised to silence the people naming what is happening while the people doing it operate without consequence. All of it flows from the same source. A political class whose professional formation is compassion, accommodation and message management, governing in a moment that requires clarity, resolve and the willingness to say plainly what the evidence shows. Britain is not short of intelligence assessments. MI5 has thwarted twenty Iranian plots. The Walney report documented Iranian influence operations in the charitable sector. The security services know what is happening. The problem is not knowledge. It is the absence of the professional formation, the instincts, the language and the willingness that would allow the people in power to act on what they know. Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies. They were never going to see it coming. And even now that it has arrived, on the streets of Golders Green, in the WhatsApp groups of the Green Party, on the Embankment where death to America was chanted on a Sunday afternoon, they are still reaching for the tools their professional lives gave them. Compassion. Accommodation. Message management. And the instruction not to take the bait. "Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies."

A few crazy things about this race and the climate at the time. -Melissa Bishop would have been a legend without the DSD athletes. Olympic Gold, World Champ, and a WC silver. -You'd talk to a lot of elite mid-distance women behind the scenes for years and they'd be pissed off, but afraid to get reamed in the media for doing so. Or just realizing that nothing would change. -Canada's head coach who was told after Bishop finished 4th at the Olympics by a lawyer for the Canadian Olympic committee "‘You say one thing about this, I’m going to make sure you’re banned for life in all sports.’” -Lyndsey Sharp did speak up and got torn apart in the media, so the fear was real. It was just a wild time. And many women lost a lot of money and glory because of it.

After today's excellent decision by the IOC.,if the Rio 2016 women's 800m. was held today, the 3 medallists in my photo. Wambui, Niyonsaba & Semenya would be barred and the medals would go to Canada's Melissa Bishop, Poland's Joanna Jozwik & GB's Lynsey Sharp @AthleticsWeekly

CANADA: A Muslim migrant in Montreal violently berates a female officer: "Dirty fucking slut, shut your mouth, disgusting dog-faced whore. If I want, I'll buy you and make you my slave.” The hatred they have for non-Muslim women is truly disgusting.

If a small, not very athletic 18yr man says he feels like a 12yr old boy, do you think it’s ok for him to compete in the under 12 sports races & competitions? I mean he says ‘he feels he’s 12 & look, I’m not very good, so it must be ok?’ Categories need to be based on reality

“Garfield, Radcliffe, Pascal and the rest should be put on the spot. They should be made to tell us exactly what they hate about Rowling’s campaigning. Is it her belief that men are not women? Is it her funding of Biera’s Place in Edinburgh, a women-only service for survivors of sexual assault? Is it her opposition to men playing in women’s sports, including boxing, where biological males pound women literally for sport?” ✍️Brendan O’Neill | 🎁Read this article for free: telegraph.co.uk/gift/456e3fe4e…

Incredible statement from Spain’s Politician Jorge Buxadé… “Massive illegal and uncontrolled immigration is a crime and a threat to the survival of Europe. Let’s put in place the biggest deportation plan that history has ever known…”

He's ten years old and he's demanding access to women-only spaces, not because he believes it, but because he's been groomed to say it, he's speaking on behalf of men who wear wigs and knickers, because men who wear wigs and knickers need "trans-children" to validate them...

This is so true. Many decent, hardworking, law-abiding, family people up and down the country have serious concerns about immigration AND the rise of Islam. The problem they face is that MPs sweep them all into one catagory & call them 'far-right' ....it has to stop

@jeremycorbyn Jeremy - literally yesterday an Afghan illegal was jailed for abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl. He is not the first, he will not be the last. So I don't give a shit about a 'kinder world'. I want a safe Britain.

I spent - wasted? - many thousands of pounds in mediation training. I was told it was wonderful, had high success rates and would replace litigation. This was of course a lie. Mediation does work - when both parties want to settle. When one side is mad or ideologically driven it is a waste of time. Immediately after Maugham’s libel I asked for apology, deletion and £5k. It was open to him to suggest other terms. He chose to take to TikTok and Instagram to repeat it. I have engaged patiently with the pre action protocol and provided him full details of the problem. I remain willing to settle on those terms. He does not wish to ‘settle’. Because he is not motivated by reason or logic. Gender identity is a quasi religious cult. The higher courts are not yet captured. I cannot live with myself if I sit back and allow someone like Maugham to continue to bully and threaten others into compliance. So here we go. If I lose, I lose my house. But if he loses then his power and influence will be much diminished. It is a risk I have to take. It’s mine alone.

Sarah, in the report of the negotiation, if Jolyon refused to apologize it would be reported as such e.g. Jolyon recognised the defamatory nature of his statement about SVP but refused to offer an apology for it. The public can then make their judgment of that refusal. Last night it occurred to me that you might get an ideologically and indoctrinated judge like Alexander Kemp for your defamation case.

This month, we've seen men and women become angry because: Little girls can go camping without men and boys. Women and girls can compete in sports without men and boys cheating. Women and girls can get undressed without men and boys watching. We know why they’re angry.

Bishop hits out at King Charles for including other religions in Christian holiday messages as Easter looms. In a message to His Majesty, the bishop said: 'You are the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and head of this state, you're not acting like it’ Well Said Bishop!

When I lock my doors at night, it’s not because I hate the people outside… It’s because I love the people inside. That’s how borders should be viewed. Protection isn’t hatred. Security isn’t “racist”, and putting your own people first should never be controversial. But somehow… we’ve been conditioned to think it is. Society has been tricked into believing that common sense is something to be ashamed of. It isn’t, it’s survival.
