@MarkACropper Same here

I am a Christian British citizen. I wish to make it known that I fully support the British Jewish community.

We are absolutely heartbroken that this is how low Britain has sunk. This horrific act truly plumbs new depths. Hatzola is a volunteer-run ambulance service run by the Jewish community but catering to everyone, Jews and non-Jews alike, working with the NHS to save lives as fast as possible. They provide outstanding medical care at lightning speed every hour of every day, and fundraise to buy ambulances and equipment. They are truly a shining example of the Jewish community coming together to help everyone in the most fundamental of ways by giving the gift of life. Burning their ambulances in an attempt to put them out of action is a truly repulsive act of antisemitic hatred in a Britain where Jews now have to keep everything from schools to synagogues under constant guard. Our society has become infested with the sickness of antisemitism. In this case it is not only about catching the perpetrators and restoring the ambulances, but about politicians accepting that by tolerating everything from hate marches to hate preachers, they have created this sickening mess, and time has run out for them to act. The law must change, fast, but so must society. The people spewing obsessive conspiracy theories about Jews, Zionists and Israelis are not social justice warriors, they are hateful bigots who are feeding this madness and must be stood up to and told as much by ordinary decent people.

@RupertLowe10 Congratulations Rupert. Being a grandparent makes the whole thing worthwhile. Enjoy

A very special first introduction today - my second grandchild. It is all of our responsibility to leave a better Britain to our children and grandchildren than the one left to us. We certainly have an awfully long way to go, but I still believe we can do it.

Very much worth 9 minutes 40 seconds of your day...

@SkylarBurgh 🙏

My suicidal thoughts have come back, and I could use some prayers. I’m dealing with a lot right now, and it’s becoming too much to handle. Jesus, I need you! Please. 🙏🏻

@Jenny_1884 This happened to me - you might have the beginnings of a cataract issue, worth getting checked

Went out last night & not sure if it’s just me getting old but car lights seem so much brighter & dazzling & it makes it really difficult to see. Does anyone else have this problem?

A powerful moment when Iranian Christians sang, “WAY MAKER” in Farsi at a recent event! 🙌🏼🔥 One of the greatest lies ever told is that all Iranians are muslims. Iranian Christians from all over the world are crying out to the Lord as their only hope for breakthrough in their homeland. #sunday #waymaker #christians #FreedomForIran

@ActionBrexit Pitiful little man

JUST LISTEN TO THIS PATHETIC PERFORMANCE FROM STARMER! A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT ON THE WORLD'S STAGE INSTEAD OF STANDING WITH OUR GREATEST ALLIES! HE HAS DESTROYED OUR INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL HE IS REMOVED!

🇮🇷 47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection. Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time. I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go. This is the same regime that: - Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred. - Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms. - Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup. - Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet. - Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S. No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians. I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran. To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have. May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime. To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing. To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one. The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability. I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over. Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget. The fever is breaking. The dawn of 2026 is here. And this time, the light wins. 🇮🇷❤️🇮🇱🇺🇸

@houmanhemmati UK Christian praying for the people of Iran and for swift removal of the regime.

@AndrewRosindell @danny__kruger @reformparty_uk Remarkable speech that some of his colleagues would have done well to listen to. 🙏🙏

An empty House of Commons for one of the century’s great speeches by @danny__kruger. It was a privilege to be in the Chamber to hear it. @reformparty_uk isn't ashamed of our Christian inheritance.

@rabbriansamuel 🙏🙏

If you don't mind, please continue to keep my mom in your prayers for healing from cancer. Her GI symptoms are not great. Her name is Marlene. For my observant Jewish followers, Malka bat Tovah. Thank you. 🙏💙

I want to put on the record my sincere thanks to @KemiBadenoch for following and supporting our Rape Gang Inquiry. A number of Conservative MPs have attended, and I want to thank each and every one of them - particularly @EstherMcVey1 who has done so much work behind the scenes helping us put it all together. Luke Myer, a Labour MP, also took the time to attend our inquiry. He did not have to do it, he knew he was probably going to get criticised. But he came, and he listened. I have immense respect for that. The Northern Irish patriots were of course supportive, and @carlalockhart sat on the panel for one day. Again, it's appreciated. @AndrewRosindell from Reform backed our motion on trafficking, as did one Lib Dem MP. @JMcMurdockMP has also provided a huge amount of support. The next steps are now this. We still have a huge amount of evidence and testimonies that is to be released, and that will be done over the coming weeks. Survivors came to tell their story, and we will help them do that in a safe and secure way. The drafting of our report is already underway - that will take several weeks. I will update you all when I know more. A target list for private prosecutions and civil litigation is being drawn up. This I am particularly determined about. We will also be looking to push changes in the short term. I will have an update about this next week. Our plan is to reopen our evidence submission portal so that more survivors can come forward - we will help them tell their story. If you have messaged us, keep in touch and it will be available soon. Lots done, but there is so much more to do. Our inquiry team are taking a rest this weekend. It is very well deserved.

@zatzi It’s all rather bizarre. What they couldn’t do in less than a year or two because local government is very very complicated and beyond the understanding of the public is now going to get done in 3 months. Have these people ever run a business I wonder …

Imagine being a Labour local councillor. You’ve just gaslit your community for months, denying democracy and parroting Keir…. and now you want their votes. Am sure that will go well.

In 1838, only one in seven men could vote. Not women. Not workers. Not the poor. So ordinary people wrote a charter. Six demands. The right to vote. Secret ballots. Pay for MPs. They collected 1.2 million signatures. Parliament rejected it. They collected 3.3 million signatures. Parliament rejected it. The government arrested their leaders. Transported them to Australia. Soldiers opened fire on a march in Newport. Twenty-two killed. They collected 5.7 million signatures. Parliament rejected it. Three petitions. Ten million signatures. Three rejections. They didn't stop. Over sixty years, five of the six demands became law. Working men got the vote. Secret ballots. MPs paid. Every time you vote, that's them. Ordinary people who refused to be ignored. If you think this should be taught in schools, help us reach more people: proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us Be Proud Of Us 🇬🇧 proudofus.co.uk

Folks just ain’t buying this bollocks anymore. But the activist journalists who unquestioningly shilled for Big Green climate catastrophism have paid no penalty. Nor have the politicians who parroted performative nonsense. While green lobbyists and propagandists grew rich off the backs of the poor. They still are. Just look as the taxpayers subsidies Miliband is still doling out.

Unemployment in the UK rose to a five-year high in the three months to December as the labour market continues to weaken. The number of people on payrolls dropped by 134,000 in the year to January. The unemployment rate rose to 5.2% in the three months to December, up from 5.1%. Unemployment was 4.4% when Labour took office July 2024. There are now just shy of 2m unemployed in the UK. In addition there are around 5m of working age who are not working but claiming various welfare benefits who do not show up in the unemployment figures because they are not looking for work.

Another broken promise. Another lie. This hasn’t happened. Food prices are up by over 20% in the last few months.

Last year, Ed Miliband went to Beijing to strike an energy deal with China on behalf of the British taxpayer. The Government say the deal will ‘enhance cooperation on renewables and grid modernisation’. ‘Enhance cooperation’ how, exactly? We don’t know. Because unlike the energy deals I signed with Korea, Germany, and Ireland when I was Energy Secretary – or the agreements Ed Miliband has struck with other countries – the details of this China deal remain hidden from the public. The Conservatives have been chasing down the details on this dodgy deal for months, just like we did on Peter Mandelson and the Government’s disastrous Chagos deal. However, Ed has taken evasion to a whole new art form. When I asked him why he wouldn’t publish the deal in the House last week, he called my question a ‘wacky conspiracy theory.’ When the ever-forensic Bradley Thomas questioned him the next day during a Select Committee, he dodged the question over 17 times. Hardly the look of a Government which is committed to transparency, is it? Miliband’s Department has used the exact same line that Keir Starmer tried to use to keep the Mandelson documents under lock and key. They retreated behind an opaque plea for diplomacy, arguing that publishing the deal would ‘prejudice relations’ with Beijing. Let that sink in. Ed Miliband’s own department thinks that if the British public sees his secret energy deal with the Chinese Communist Party, then it might damage his relationship with China. This is an incredibly serious issue. Just last week Norway’s security services joined the chorus of intelligence warnings about the West’s reliance on Chinese renewable technology. Undocumented ‘kill-switches’ were found in solar farm equipment in the US. The Five Eyes security alliance has publicly warned about Chinese state-sponsored hackers seeking to “destroy” Western energy systems in the event of conflict. When it comes to solar panels, critical minerals or batteries, there is one global dominant player: China. Last year’s trade wars showed us that China was more than willing to use its vice-like hold on the world’s critical mineral supplies as a bargaining tool. As Ed shuts down the North Sea, plugs up our gas wells, and ships in ever more solar panels, he likes to say that every wind turbine and solar panel gives us energy security. But if Ed’s plan to make Britain’s energy system completely reliant on Chinese components is successful, what will we do in the event of a conflict? As the former Head of MI6 rightly said, when it comes to national security, Labour’s energy plans are “completely crazy”. What is Ed Miliband hiding? Did his secret energy deal include commitments not to raise concerns about plans to import solar panels made by Chinese slaves? Did it involve promises to maintain our dependence on Chinese supply chains? Did he promise to share data about our power grid that could be exploited to cause blackouts? We simply do not know, because Ed Miliband will not tell us. This is a pattern of behaviour across the Labour Government and by this Secretary of State. Ed Miliband is embarking on the most radical change in energy policy in half a century, yet he ducks questioning in the Commons, hides behind meaningless soundbites on the media, and has never, ever, published a forecast of what his radical plans will do to people’s energy bills. When I was Energy Secretary, I ordered a true costing of renewables, because I believe our priority as a country should be to make our electricity cheap. I demanded that every policy be brought to me with a Bills Test, a clear explanation of what the impact will be on people’s energy bills. Ed has cancelled that work. He doesn’t want to know the truth, because his plans are not based on fact, but quasi-religious fervour. He said last week that the Labour Party should stand up to the powerful. But he should remember that he is the one with power, and he treats scrutiny as if it is a joke.

Hey @Keir_Starmer tell your writer of inaccurate tweets that food prices aren't coming down; they're not even stable. Two small fillets of fresh cod in Aldi has gone from 3.99 to 5.49. In just 2 weeks. And in case your childlike advisors wonder why, I'll tell you: Employers' NI has risen. Energy prices are the highest in Europe. Business rates are extortionate. And your soppy arsed Chancellor decided to put the minimum wage up massively for youngsters. Just so you know.
