When the Government says it’s moving asylum seekers out of hotels, it means it’s moving them into homes like this. We have seen again and again how dangerous this is for women and children. People who come here illegally must be detained on arrival and rapidly deported.

Mandleson is the Grandson of Herbert Morrison who Labour turned in to a Baron for services to the public? One of Mandleson's best mates who helped him launch his career in TV is John Birt who was later to become Head of the BBC. John Birt's wife is a Fujitsu Director. Mandleson told Blair that Fujitsu's Horizon System was perfect for The Post Office. Post Office Managers died or were falsely imprisoned, or both. Ed Davey earned a fortune and Paula Vennells is still free. It's all one big club,,,,and they keep hitting us with it.

April 21, 2025 was my last day as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. I was the first female Ambassador to serve in a war zone and I am proud of our work to fight back against Russia's aggression and protect democracy. But when Trump kept appeasing Putin, I had to resign and speak out.

What better way could there be of repudiating accusations of misogyny than recommending an episode where three men instead of two discuss which rights women should be fine giving up - without, of course, mentioning the words 'women's rights.'

‘That man couldn’t lie straight in bed’ wails Lee Anderson who you’ll recall lied about his £100k bonus to turn traitor on his last party, lied about Just Stop Oil being glued to the Cenotaph, lied about 30p food banks, and set up a fake doorstep voter

The suspension of an RAF cadet for describing Islam as the biggest threat to Britain during a presentation on national security should concern us all. If servicemen and women cannot speak freely about what they perceive to be genuine threats to UK security, we are in serious trouble. This is yet another sign that the Government’s official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — is stifling legitimate criticism and debate of Islam. A de facto Muslim blasphemy law is becoming embedded deep within Britain’s institutions. Read more in @spikedonline 👇

No silence @AlinejadMasih! Yesterday I tried - for the third time in a parliamentary resolution - to expel the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of #Iran in The Hague, but unfortunately rejected again by the majority including the governing parties.

Ed Miliband did a whole speech on energy security yesterday with not one mention of jet fuel. He needs to release the National Emergency Plan for Fuel now.

Try not to choke on your cornflakes but the Guardian has written a piece acknowledging that sex cannot be changed and explaining why males who went through male puberty have an unfair advantage over women in sport. As Tanya Aldred writes: ‘These physical advantages mean that the fastest 14-year-old boys run the 100m more quickly than the women’s world record; the No 1 women’s tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, lost last December’s battle of the sexes game to an out-of-shape Nick Kyrgios, then ranked at No 671 in the world; and if there were no category for women at the Olympics, there would be no female medallists – except in equestrian events, and possibly static shooting. This does not mean that women’s sport is lesser, it just means the two sexes are different.’ Please no one tell ‘right side of history’ woke bros Owen Jones, Jonathan Liew, Alistair Campbell etc Link below ⬇️

Immigrants are getting record sums in legal aid. Parliament said this must not happen - but human rights claims have opened up the system. We will leave the ECHR and scrap the immigration tribunals. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/2…

So you're cutting VAT on fuel and scrapping the Net Zero madness then, @RachelReevesMP ?

Exactly right. The invasion of Ukraine is not a "reaction" to anything - it is an inseparable part of the russian elite's imperialist agenda, which they've inherited from the USSR which the USSR inherited from the russian empire. It has more to do with what Peter the "great" did before the United States even existed than anything anyone in the West has ever done. Literally.

Now the whole truth has finally come out. Gabriele Vaccaro, 25 years old, and his friends had bought some pizzas when a group of foreigners surrounded them, allegedly trying to steal them. The Italian boys reacted, and during the confrontation an Egyptian immigrant stabbed Gabriele in the neck with a screwdriver, killing him. In the immigrant’s room, paid for with Italian taxpayers’ money, police found knives and cocaine. How can we keep tolerating this in our own home? HOW?

You wouldn’t know the difference between a left hook and a fish hook you moron. I support Sharon because she sticks up for women and girls in sport, that’s it.

Olly Robbins acted with the calm integrity and intelligence that have defined his public service. His job was to judge whether #Mandelson’s risks could be mitigated, not tell the PM what he already knew. Starmer should retract his accusations and reinstate him.

This photo was from this week in Hungary. The man with JD circled in yellow is Paolo Zampolli. He’s the former owner of the NYC KitKat Club and was major supplier of little girls (including Melania Trump) to Epstein. He had his own wife deported by ICE! This makes me WANT TO PUKE! Via~~~Mike McKee

Keir Starmer betrayed our national interest and put our national security at risk. He is unfit to be Prime Minister.

This is Shahid Butt. Shahid is running for office in Birmingham, in a seat that’s 91% non-white and 70% Muslim (and will likely win). He claims to be a veteran who fought in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Shahid did go to war… …but he wasn’t in the army He was an ISIS terrorist.

The Man Nobody Is Talking About. His Name Is Sir Philip Barton. Buried inside Tuesday's committee testimony, beneath the headlines about constant pressure, bullying and secret job searches, is the detail that may prove the most consequential of this entire affair. It concerns not Olly Robbins, not Morgan McSweeney, not even Keir Starmer. It concerns the man who was there before all of them. The man who said no. The man who then left his post eight months early. Sir Philip Barton was the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office when Peter Mandelson's appointment was announced in December 2024. He was, in other words, the most senior civil servant in the building at the precise moment the machinery of state was being directed to place a man with documented links to Russia and China into the most sensitive diplomatic posting in the Western alliance. What Robbins told the committee on Tuesday is this. Barton pushed back. When the Cabinet Office argued that vetting Mandelson was unnecessary, that a peer and Privy Councillor did not require developed vetting, Barton refused to accept it. He insisted that vetting was a requirement. He had to be, in Robbins's own words, very firm in person. He also voiced reservations about the appointment to Jonathan Powell, the National Security Adviser, reservations that were noted and not acted upon. He was worried, Robbins suggested, about exactly the same reputational risks that had been detailed to the Prime Minister before the appointment was announced. Then Sir Philip Barton left his post. Eight months before his tenure would otherwise have concluded. The question Richard Foord put to Robbins on Tuesday was the right one. Why did Barton's tenure end early? Robbins said he did not know. He suggested ministers may have felt it was time for a change. That answer is not an answer. It is the absence of one. Consider what the timeline now shows. A senior civil servant pushes back against the appointment, insists on vetting when the Cabinet Office wants to bypass it, raises reservations with the National Security Adviser, and departs eight months ahead of schedule. His replacement arrives to find the appointment already treated as a fait accompli, the vetting process under constant pressure from Downing Street, and the question of outcome entirely subordinate to the question of speed. If Barton was removed because he stood in the way of this appointment, then Robbins was not the first civil servant sacrificed to protect it. He was the second. And the question of who else was moved aside, overruled or silenced in the months between December 2024 and the moment the security services finally said no, becomes the most important question this affair has yet produced. Starmer sacked Robbins for following the rules. The Foreign Affairs Committee will now call Barton to give evidence. What he says will either confirm what the timeline already suggests or provide an alternative explanation that the evidence does not currently support. There is a pattern here that goes beyond process failure. Process failures are random. They point in different directions. What this affair has produced is a series of events that point consistently in one direction. Officials who comply are retained. Officials who push back depart. The security services are bypassed. The vetting is treated as an administrative inconvenience. And the one question nobody at the top of this government will answer is why this appointment, this man, this post, mattered so much that every obstacle was removed to make it happen. Barton apparently asked that question. He left eight months early. The country deserves to know why.
