Thanks to the media for covering our Top 10 list 2026 this week. Without their hard work and skill the Society couldn't tell the story of these buildings and structures nominated by the public.

The left will tell you the British Museum is the problem.

If you die in the UK and are on the Organ Donor Register, the NHS will send a letter to your family explaining what happened to your organs.

The UK terrorist threat level has been raised to SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely. For you, the public, this means remaining alert but not alarmed. If you see anything that doesn’t feel right report via gov.uk/ACT. In an emergency always call 999.

My proposals for a restored and reformed House of Lords in summary: House capped at 650 peers for symmetry with the Commons. 212 hereditary peers - the dignified bit 👑 200 appointed peers - the expert bit 📚 200 elected peers - the democratic bit 🗳️ 26 Lords Spiritual ✝️ 12 Law Lords ⚖️ Minimum age of 35 before being able to become a member. Hereditary peers become the largest and most senior group, but still nowhere near a majority thanks to the tripartite model. They would be chosen from among the pool of all hereditary peers by hereditary peers, as was the case until yesterday. Appointed peers serve for life as now, but thanks to the cap on numbers the Prime Minister will not have many opportunities to fill vacancies, so the temptation to use rare opportunities on cronies will be lessened. This will work in a similar way to the US President nominating Supreme Court vacancies. Elected peers will be chosen via regional proportional representation, with the aim being to grant power to geography and represent the nations and regions of the UK better. Each region would have 20 peers regardless of their population. These should roughly mirror ancient regions which could provide genuine local identity and would look something like the following: (Sussex/Kent, Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, East Anglia, Dyfed, Gwynedd, Strathclyde, Alba, Ulster). England has five regions and the other nations have five between them to balance English dominance. The idea is to avoid metropolitan dominance and so London and other major cities would not have their own regions. theradishreview.substack.com/p/a-traditiona…

The Royalist Society records its profound regret following the passage of the House of Lords Bill, which removes from Parliament one of the oldest surviving elements of the British constitution. The peerage is a distinct institution, and the hereditary peers who sit in the House of Lords represent those families which are the preserve of Britain and whose service stretches across generations. Their removal leaves Parliament diminished, and the case for their return, or at the very least for the recognition of their service through life peerage, remains one the Society will press with vigour. We will work with our colleagues to ensure that this reform, undertaken without sufficient care for what it has undone, is one a future Parliament may yet reverse.

The importance of the monarchy to the UK

A few games of football is not worth the life of a single Dog! Heartbreaking footage captured dogs being rounded up and tossed into vans for alleged mass killings in Morocco as the country prepares for the 2030 World Cup. Since the North African country was ratified as a host in December 2024, campaigners say the slaughterings have surged dramatically, with around 500,000 dogs believed to be slain each year.

Keir Starmer completed the process of removing all hereditary peers from the House of Lords yesterday It was the end of the 700-year-old tradition It was initially thought the office of the Lord Great Chamberlain would be spared as it dates back to 1138, but it also disappeared

Today @sainsburys I witnessed three members of staff refusing to serve a disabled man on his motorcycle. I heard him shouting in frustration at the three who stood around him. I’m not drunk I’m disabled and they continued to refuse service to the gentleman due to his disability.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the "Support the Ceramics Industry" petition❤️ We're up to 62,000 signatures so far. We need 100,000 for the matter to be considered for debate in Parliament. Help to reach this target and make a difference here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7647…

After huge public backlash, including opposition from local campaigners and over 12,000 of you signing our petition, Network Rail have confirmed they are reopening the holes at Chapel Milton Viaduct!

What is the point in taking these miscreants to court! 😡 Gamekeeper Russell Mason was given a 200-hour Community Payback Order for killing a Goshawk and fined £890 for firearm offences. Credit: @ProtectTheWild_.

Burleigh Pottery of Stoke on Trent has gone into Administration. They’ve been making lovely traditional English pottery in Middleport Pottery since 1851. There’s a factory shop and they sell online too. It’s up to us. Can we save them before they’re gone forever? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Happy St George's Day!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹
