The UN is blaming Israel for a rise in child marriages in Gaza. Not Hamas, the de facto ruling authority of Gaza, which has not implemented the Palestinian Authority's law that raised the minimum age of marriage to 18. But why would the people in charge of Gaza's laws be responsible for a child marriage crisis that predates this war, right? Let's blame the Jews instead.

@TerraOrBust Strange that this is playing as a possible loss of information when we all know everything is saved to the cloud and we can recover it. Deliberately deleting emails and texts and then saying you lost your phone should be a criminal offence @metpoliceuk and as a minimum MiAPO.

WELL ISNT THAT CONVENIENT

NASA satellites show the Earth is becoming greener. Since the early 1980s, global leaf area has increased about 15%. That equals roughly 2 billion hectares of additional vegetation - an area twice the size of the United States. Vegetation is expanding into semi-arid regions, and agricultural productivity is rising. At least 70% of the greening is driven by rising CO2. Higher CO2 allows plants to photosynthesize more efficiently. More CO2 means more plant growth. The planet is not browning, it is greening.

@KathrynPorter26 The 2010 Constitutional Reform and Governance Act needs to be repealed. This gave @UKCivilService autonomy. We now have a fifth column in the @FCDOGovUK encouraging illegal migrants to bring family members to the UK and an out of control @ukhomeoffice that does nothing.

If you want to understand why UK governments can't get anything done, read this The Civil Service is unfit for purpose and needs radical reform telegraph.co.uk/gift/1d2a776b9…

The best way to cut people’s bills is through the Conservatives Cheap Power Plan and by drilling our own Gas and oil in the North Sea.

@darrenpjones "We're throwing more public money to our mates, without any concrete deliverables, and we won't be auditing where the money goes".

We must leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act that Tony Blair used to embed it in UK law.

365 years of temperature data from central England, the world's longest running climate record, show no trend. Despite a six-fold rise in population and a surge in CO2, January temperatures have barely shifted since 1600. Likewise for July, the hottest month of the year, temperatures are virtually unchanged. Even during the coal-fired Industrial Revolution there was no sudden spike. The warmest winters on record occurred in the 1700s, the 1800s, and the early 1900s, long before modern emissions. Any warming appears slow and natural, with the slight modern uptick likely linked to two factors: 1) the urban heat island effect, and 2) Earth's gradual recovery from the Little Ice Age. If carbon dioxide truly controlled the climate, the CET record would shoot upward on the right. It does not.

Last year we lost a THIRD of our refineries. Under Labour, crippling Carbon Taxes are killing off our heavy industry. Leaving us more reliant on foreign imports just as the world gets more dangerous. Economic suicide.

This is very important @UKLabour is destroying the UK

@ChrisGPackham @Helen_Whately Net Zero is a slogan. It cannot be scientifically measured so cannot be managed. CO2 is the gas of life. Without it nothing grows. See photosynthesis. It does not control the weather let alone the climate. Destroying the UK economy is what all the watermelons want.

On BBC Question Time, @Helen_Whately just said ‘we can’t afford Net Zero’ . She is a human health hazard and grossly misinformed or lying . Time to call out the lunatics leading us to hell . No facts , no truth , no integrity - no hope.

A drop in the ocean. Cut fuel duty. Abolish carbon taxes, end the Renewables Obligation, restart drilling in the North Sea and get fracking.

🚨 Labour’s Grooming Gang Inquiry Has Been Deliberately Delayed Until After The Next Election 🚨 I took the time to read through the latest details of this so called national inquiry properly, not headlines, not spin, the actual substance, and here is the reality. On 8 January 2025, the Government rejected calls for a new national grooming gang inquiry, arguing the focus should instead be on implementing previous recommendations. Then on 14 June 2025, Keir Starmer stood there and announced a National Grooming Gang Inquiry. Six months later, on 9 December 2025, Anne Longfield was appointed to lead it. And now, months on from that announcement, this is where we actually are. The Terms of Reference are still not finalised. Still being drafted. Still being negotiated. Anne Longfield herself has admitted the draft is not strong enough and not detailed enough, and she did not even write it. If the person leading the inquiry is telling you it is weak, then it is weak. Even now the wording around one of the most critical issues, ethnicity, race and religion, only says the inquiry “should” look at it. Not will. Not must. That is not a technicality, that is a loophole. It means it can still be watered down. This is being sold as a national inquiry, yet only a single digit number of areas will actually receive full local investigations. The rest of the country, dozens of affected towns and thousands of victims, will be pushed into a general call for evidence. That is not full exposure, that is containment. There is currently no advisory panel in place. The previous one has been disbanded. The legal team is still being hired. This is not a system ready to deliver justice, it is a system still being built behind closed doors. They have also made it clear the Terms of Reference will define what the inquiry does, and only after that will survivors be brought in to shape how it is done. That is completely backwards. Victims should be shaping the scope, not just the process. We are told there will be no no go zones, but there is no explanation of how that is enforced, who decides it, or what happens when it is challenged. Without that, it is just words. And here is the part they do not want you focusing on. The inquiry will start in April 2026, run for three years, and the final report will not be published until after the next General Election. That is not a coincidence. That is a political decision. Labour has structured this so the consequences land after the public have already voted. That is not about justice, that is about control. This inquiry has potential, but right now it is too slow, too limited, too vague, and far too politically convenient to deliver the accountability victims deserve. I am not interested in what they promise. I am interested in what they deliver. Right now, this is not good enough!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 There is something in most kitchens around the world. 🫖 You have probably used one today. A Scottish scientist invented it in London in 1892. And almost nobody knows who he was. His name was James Dewar. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Born in Kincardine, Scotland. 1842. Chemist. Physicist. One of the finest scientific minds Britain had ever produced. 🏅 Nominated for the Nobel Prize eight times. ❌ Never won. In 1892 he was trying to store liquid hydrogen. Not make a flask for your tea. ☕ He built a vessel with two glass walls and pumped the air out of the gap between them. A vacuum. No air. No heat transfer. ❄️ It worked perfectly. ✅ He didn't patent it. He just didn't. He was a scientist. Not a businessman. The science was enough. A German glassblower named Reinhold Burger had been watching. 👀 He took the design. Made it sturdier. Patented it. Named it Thermos. In 1904 it went on sale. It made a fortune. 💰 Dewar sued. ⚖️ The court agreed he was the inventor. But because he hadn't patented it there was nothing they could do. He got nothing. The word Thermos eventually became so common it lost its trademark entirely. Just a word now. For something a Scottish scientist invented in a London laboratory. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Every flask you've ever owned. Every cup of tea kept warm on a cold morning. ☕ Every building site. Every school trip. Every football pitch. ⚽ James Dewar. Did they teach you his name? 🇬🇧 These islands have thousands of stories the world has forgotten. We find them. We tell them. We put them in front of millions. You help us make that possible. Be Part Of Us. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@MelJStride @PennyMordaunt @thetimes Stamp Duty, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance tax are all bad taxes. All governments have been spent taxpayers money too easily. You need to target halving government spending. Yesterday 4 government depts gave £40 million of taxpayers money to Comic Relief Red Nose Day. Why?

Stamp Duty is holding Britain back. It's a tax on ambition. A tax on moving. A drag on the economy. Interview in @TheTimes 👇🏻

@Ed_Miliband @MumsnetTowers - 78% marginal tax rate on North Sea oil/gas production - 50-60% tax on fuel retail The only entity ripping famillies off is the UK government. Whoever you think you represent, it isn't UK households.

Freedom can also be lost little by little, by what the Fabians call the doctrine of gradualness. A little more taxation here, a little more government expenditure there, year after year until the people are no longer the masters of the state but its servants. There are always, it seems, good reasons advanced for the state to have more power. But rarely for the state to divest itself of power. Each new problem becomes an excuse for more government intervention and less individual responsibility.

NESO has given up on designing a grid that can deliver the electricity we want, when we want it. So people are going to be paid to turn off at peak times.

This is what happens when enforcement breaks down Open drug use, in plain sight — and no action We need to restore proper law and order. That means 10,000 more police, using stop and search to take drugs and knives off our streets And we will fund it by cutting the welfare bill
