This is just outrageous. Why is @Keir_Starmer ordering this. So much for his supposed concern for human rights. That seems to be only for international bodies with highly paid Lawyers. Where are all the Labour MPs speaking up against this cruel behaviour!
Adam Holloway@ajhholloway

UPDATE: Reality of what a government made up "human rights lawyers" really means. Flown in Customs, Police & Royal Marines going through every single box. Denied Chagossians: an emergency solar water maker; mosquito nets; bedding; mobile phone; sunglasses;clothing & ice-maker.

@AllisonPearson @ClimateRealists @Ed_Miliband “As of April 2026, UK diesel averages around £1.91 ($2.35-$2.40) per litre, while US diesel is significantly lower, typically under $1 per litre, making UK fuel roughly twice as expensive.” We’re mugs … being mugged.

Say what you like about Sadiq Khan but he’s done the impossible and turned London in to a popular place to camp.

The most successful rebranding of agricultural runoff in modern history. - Oats are a grain. Oat milk is oats liquefied with enzymes and then diluted until they pour. - The primary ingredient, after water, is a starch slurry. You are paying premium prices for warm starch water. - The enzymatic processing converts starch to maltose. A glass of oat milk triggers roughly the same glycaemic response as a glass of Ribena. The barista version has added oil. - That oil is usually rapeseed or sunflower. Seed oil. In your morning coffee. Presented as the health-conscious choice. - Oats contain avenin, a prolamin protein structurally similar to gliadin in wheat. Cross-reactivity with gluten sensitivity: documented. - Phytic acid content binds zinc and iron. The trace minerals on the label are largely unavailable. The bioavailability of plant iron from oats versus haem iron from beef: approximately 3% versus 25%. - Most commercial oats are glyphosate-desiccated prior to harvest. Residue testing in oat products has been consistent enough to generate several rounds of investigative journalism and at least one class action. The grain that spent six thousand years as livestock fodder is now the ethical breakfast. The cow that ate it is the problem.

There is no way of knowing how often Parliament votes against what the public actually wants. Until now. houseofthepeople.com tracks every bill going through Parliament. You vote. We compare it to how your MP voted. The gap speaks for itself.

In 1871 a man sat at a desk and wrote fifteen letters. ⚽🇬🇧 Nobody knew what those letters would become. His name was Charles Alcock. Secretary of the Football Association. Former pupil at Harrow School. He remembered something from his schooldays. A knockout competition between houses. Every team plays. The losers go home. One winner. He thought: what if we did that. But for the whole country. So he wrote fifteen letters. The clubs that wrote back: Barnes. Civil Service. Clapham Rovers. Crystal Palace. Donington School. Hampstead Heathens. Harrow Chequers. Hitchin. Maidenhead. Marlow. Queen's Park of Glasgow. Royal Engineers. Upton Park. Wanderers. Fifteen clubs. Out of fifty who were eligible. Most of them thought it was a nice idea. Some of them didn't bother replying at all. Three withdrew before they even played a match. Twelve clubs actually competed. Thirteen games in total. The whole thing played out across a few months in the winter and spring of 1871 to 1872. The final was held on 16 March 1872 at the Kennington Oval. A cricket ground. There were no stands. Two thousand people stood around a rope in the cold March afternoon light to watch. The Royal Engineers were overwhelming favourites. Physically imposing. Tactically advanced. 7-4 on to win. Ten minutes in... One of their players broke his collarbone. No substitutes existed. They played on with ten men. Wanderers scored. One nil. Final score. The man who invented the competition played in it. He captained the winning team. He lifted the cup he had created. Charles Alcock. The only man in history to invent a competition, play in its first final, and win it. 🏆 That competition still runs today. One hundred and fifty five years later. The semi-final draw was made just days ago... Manchester City vs Southampton. Chelsea vs Leeds. The oldest national football competition on earth. And every football cup competition that followed, every domestic cup in every country, follows the same format. The knockout bracket. Every team plays. The losers go home. One winner. Britain invented that. In fifteen letters. From one desk. In 1871. 🇬🇧 Every story on this channel is available in full at proudofus.co.uk If you want to help us keep these stories alive: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Absolutely feckin’ clueless. Not a single one of these ‘boasts’ are wealth creating. Not one. Where’s the support for wealth creators … those whose money pays for your ideological wet dream?

Britain's Gifts To The World 🇬🇧 They taught you to be ashamed of this country. ⛓️ Here's what they left out. The steam engine. The telephone. The television. The world wide web. The computer you're reading this on. All of it Britain. Vaccination, given to the world for free. Over an estimated 200 million lives saved. 🇬🇧 Britain abolished the slave trad4e. Then spent sixty years on the open ocean making sure the rest of the world agreed. Over 800,000 people freed at once. Countless more saved from a life of slavery. The NHS. Free at the point of need. This is not a perfect country. No country is. But this is a country that looked at what was wrong with the world and tried to fix it. Repeatedly. For centuries. Britain's greatness didn't happen by accident. It happened because ordinary people worked together. That's what we're doing again. First it starts with us working together once more. Proud Of Us is a community of people who love Britain and want to help bring it back. Story by story. Name by name. If you want to be part of it: proudofus.co.uk/support 🇬🇧 Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

This is the first time “Amelia” has told her story to the media, and because of legal “edits” it honestly is just the tip of this iceberg. We @TMOFCharity have been supporting Amelia in her fight for justice for 4 years…. The fight continues and Amelia will not give up until the full truth is heard…. I was taken to Parliament thesun.co.uk/news/38697228/…
