Patrick Tedstone

@llovell6974 @afneil @suechadwick999 @TerraOrBust @hunt_theW @BethRigby @Keir_Starmer Andrew has blown any prospect of interviewing any other senior politician. An interview cannot be a never ending selection of gotchas.

@suechadwick999 @TerraOrBust @hunt_theW @afneil @BethRigby @Keir_Starmer She's not the same calibre as Andrew Neil, that's for sure. Let's see Starmer being interviewed by him instead. That would be worth watching.

I have no doubt in my mind now, that a single interview with @afneil or a journalist of his calibre would take down Starmer and his government. Which is why Starmer did an interview with Beth Rigby. He couldn't survive a single interview with any real scrutiny.

@georgegalloway Russia did this

Not a drop to drink…

To the EU, NATO, and Starmer: Never again. And never again is now. The UAE will not allow Iranian terrorism. Every drone and every missile will be destroyed. The Islamic regime in Iran is holding the world hostage. The same world that stayed silent on October 7 now stays silent again. Silence is not neutrality. It is weakness. The IRGC attacked civilians in the UAE and blocked the Strait of Hormuz. That is terrorism. The UAE will never tolerate it. The Islamic regime will be held accountable. An Iran controlled by the IRGC is not acceptable. The UAE does not negotiate with terrorists.

@SimonDanczuk Whimp

Utter nonsense. They should be pleased that Farage, or any elected politician, went to the club. This is what we're up against, a small minority of the public kick-off and an idiot like this, in a position of responsibility, can't handle it. Don't think he's up to being chairman.

@arkryt @afneil Trump is soo good isn’t he 😀

@PatrickTedstone @afneil Same as the last 40 years, containment. The Straight problem has always been there and the consequence of closure well known. Strategic thinking in the White House was to keep it open, it’s as if Trump said sod that let’s close it.

That’s broadly true.

@afneil The media is partly to blame for the Uks terrible governance over 40 years.

Absolutely. The media is clearly to blame for the fact we have no deployable Navy at any kind of scale. Not the plethora of braided underemployed admirals or useless MoD civil servants or ineffective recent governments. The bastard meeeja! Again! Off to the Tower with them. PS Are you really a professor?!

@no1abba Fool

If the Saudis had joined the Abraham Accords and built the pipeline long discussed between the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean via Israel, nobody would be talking about the Straight of Hormoz.

@AllisonPearson Fraud is the word

Starmer is such a fraud. He wanted Mandelson to have that job - favours? Chagos? - and he ignored clear evidence “Peter” was grossly unsuitable. Now, he says he beat himself up when what everyone already knew came out in the Epstein files. Boo hoo!

@BurnsideWasTosh Only Nixon wasn’t a crook. He was the most popular president ever. He knew nothing of the CIA break in at the democrat offices. Happens, deep throat, was a former naval officer (deep state), who broke the biggest political storey ever, within 6 months of becoming a reporter. 🤷‍♂️

He was so hard on himself he launched ID cards to try and distract from how hard he was being on himself. This interview does not draw a line under this, just like the big dick.

What a kkkkkkeeeerrrrhhunt. "I have spent years trying to deal with violence against women and girls" To the extent of a year ago saying there'd be no Inquiry into Rape Gangs. This vomit shart is a stand alone abomination but as Prime Minister he disgraces us all.

@RDPHistory Never knew

March 26th 1982: HMS Spartan is ordered to depart from Exercise Springtrain and return to Gibraltar to load live ammunition.

@PeterBleksley @AllisonPearson @nottspolice Kier Starmer looky- likey, but is it a toupee?

This pathetic specimen, Kate Meynell, former Chief Constable of @nottspolice, fails upwards into another highly paid policing role. This time it’s with East Midlands Specialist Operations Unit when it’s blatantly clear she couldn’t run a bath. Shameful. Disrespectful. Just wrong.

The UAE stands as a strong partner of the United States. No ceasefire with the Islamic regime in Iran. Not now. You don’t negotiate with terror. You end it. The UAE stands firm. Zero space for terrorists. Germany, Britain, Spain's governments say they want a diplomatic solution with this terrorist regime. Fine. Let it be your neighbour. Take its leadership, as you did with the Muslim Brotherhood. Give them citizenship. They are all yours. If you want the rubbish, take it but don’t ask us to accept it or live with it. It stinks. You can have it. Live with it alone. This Saturday will not pass quietly. It will be marked. It will be remembered.

@BillMelugin_ @AriFleischer @FoxNews Bravo 🙌

WATCH; DHS tells @FoxNews that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive & wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday. Video shows the boy’s father panicking as the boy goes limp in his arms, before the ICE agent runs over to help. DHS says the ICE agent assessed the boy, performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, and he began breathing again and made a full recovery.

@MasterJamesofS1 Nope he is a failure

Does anyone else think that Jacob Rees Mogg would be a wonderful Speaker of The House of Commons?

@JMcMurdockMP Good man. We appreciate everything you are doing.

When I first graduated and started life in the grown up world, I was taken out for lunch by a senior manager at the firm I’d just joined. This was my first client facing role and was a big step forward for me. The senior gave me a piece of advice that I’ve never forgotten. He said never try and close a deal by bad mouthing the competition. It just brings the whole industry into disrepute. The more experienced I get the more I realise how right he was. Bridget never had the chance to get this kind of advice because the only job she has ever had was a few years working for her mum’s charity. Now the country is stuck with a SoS who knows nothing about the world she’s in charge of and I’m stuck with a colleague whose best shot at advancing herself is by putting out comments like the one below. C’est la vie Thank you to everyone who has come out batting for me. I’ll keep on keeping on 👍

@MatthewStadlen Why bother tweeting complete drivel

So can we be just be clear? Journalists are alleging that Morgan McSweeney staged the theft of his phone, lied to police, and wasted police time, in order to hide messages to Mandelson? And that the Prime Minister might be implicated in a cover-up? These are extremely serious and defamatory allegations.

@georgegalloway Fear

WHY are the British media not pressing for the names of the alleged Arsonists released on bail today?

@afneil Was he kissing perhaps ?

He wasn’t mugged. Even he doesn’t claim that. Making things up to bolster an untenable position is not a good look. Try and come up with something better.

@MykhailoRohoza @afneil I suppose if you look hard enough you can find good in everyone.

When Charles de Gaulle led France, he treated public money as something untouchable. At the Élysée Palace, there was a strict rule for him: no personal expense could ever be paid for by the state. His wife, Yvonne, kept a small notebook in which she meticulously recorded all family expenses — from food and electricity to clothing and even soap. At the end of each month, she would send a check to the state treasury, reimbursing every last cent. Once, an accountant remarked that this was not really necessary. She calmly replied: “Everything that is not public is personal. And for personal matters, we pay ourselves.” This principle applied without exception. Their children and grandchildren were not allowed to use official cars for private matters. De Gaulle himself refused any privileges of office: he paid his own bills at the palace — even for the smallest things, such as soap or family meals. Moreover, he did not use his presidential salary, living only on his military pension. After his death, there was no wealth or luxury left behind — only a modest house in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, purchased before the war. It is said that he would sometimes personally send money to the treasury if he suspected that any personal expense might have accidentally been covered by the state budget. This was not a formality. It was a principle. ✨ An example of true integrity, honor, and responsibility in public service.
