🚨 Douglas Murray DESTROYS BBC Newsnight Presenter Douglas Murray calmly dismantles the BBC on his “less Islam” comment: Nick Watt: “We should have less Islam in this country. Was that a wise phrase?” Murray: “Perfectly wise phrase… This country had a wildly stupid and lax immigration policy for decades.” On the bomber Salman Abedi: “One of the sons they gave this country was Salman Abedi who at 22 killed 22 young girls… one for every year of life this country gave him.” Then the key logic: “Jihadist extremism, jihadism comes from Islam. Therefore, if it’s 1%, 5%, 15% of people of the Muslim faith who follow that version of it, you’ve got a hell of a problem. And the more people, this is simple math, the larger the number of people who are followers of a faith that has not solved the extremism problem in its midst… the more extremism you will have. You don’t get that from the Catholic Church… or the Anglican church.” Murray closes powerfully: “Nobody else is as incredibly slow in learning as the British media and political class when it comes to this problem. Why is it the case that Saturday after Saturday we have thousands of people going through major British cities who support the death cults who would murder Jews and the rest of us next? That’s a question you and Newsnight should answer.” Countries with less Islam have less Islamic terrorism. Straight talk the BBC clearly struggles with.

Mr Starmer, The world is watching. And for once, I’m not here to play nice or balance both sides. This is the one shot I get to say what millions already know in their bones. You are not Britain’s Prime Minister. You are a man who won an election and immediately began dismantling the very things the British people voted for in 2016. You are squatting in Downing Street while steering the country back into the arms of the institution it explicitly rejected. If you will not stand down, the British people will make you. Here is every claim you made today, stripped bare, no spin, no mercy: 1. “The Middle East conflict has now entered its second month.” Thank you for the calendar update. While you counted months, the IRGC a group formally designated as terrorists by the United States, Canada, and others, continued running its London operations from 16 Prince’s Gate, Knightsbridge. You did nothing. 2. “The UK is working at pace for de-escalation and peace.” Translation: we issued strongly worded statements. Results: zero. Your “pace” is the speed of a snail on tranquillisers. 3. “The war will affect the future of our country, energy and cost of living.” It already is. Your green ideology and EU realignment have left Britain with some of the highest energy prices in the developed world. Pensioners choose between heating and eating. That’s not “the war.” That’s policy. 4. “We are well-placed with a long-term plan to emerge stronger and more secure.” Record taxes. 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists. Record small-boat crossings. Energy bills that could bankrupt households. If this is your definition of “stronger and more secure,” the English language just filed for divorce. 5. “I held meetings with business leaders…” Photo opportunities. They warned you. You smiled for the cameras and carried on regardless. 6. “Energy bills will be cut today and fixed until July.” A £117 cap that your own NI increases and green levies have already vaporised. It’s not relief. It’s an insult dressed up as compassion. 7. “The most effective way to support the cost of living is to push for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Then why did you help shut down North Sea production and make us dependent on foreign energy? The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast. 8. “The UK is taking back control of our energy security by investing in clean British energy.” Britain now pays the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Blackouts are on the menu. This is not “taking back control.” This is self-sabotage with better PR. 9. “Because the world is volatile, Britain’s long-term national interest now requires closer partnership with the EU.” Let’s be honest for once: you are using a foreign crisis as cover to hand sovereignty, money, and decision-making back to Brussels without asking the British people. That is not statesmanship. That is betrayal by stealth. 10. “I will announce a new summit with the EU later this year…” Re-joining by the back door while an Iranian terror-linked operation sits in one of London’s most expensive postcodes. The sheer gall is almost impressive. You stood at the podium today and spoke of “British interests” while actively working against them. You swore you wouldn’t rejoin the EU. You are doing it anyway. You talk of security while leaving a designated terror network untouched in central London. You lecture about the cost of living while your policies make it worse. The mask is not slipping, Keir. It has fallen off and shattered on the floor. The British people see you clearly now: a politician who values international approval and Brussels goodwill more than the nation that elected him. You are not leading Britain. You are managing its managed decline. The clock is ticking. Not in secret. Not in silence. Out loud, in broad daylight, across every pub, every kitchen table, every X feed and every street in this country. History does not forgive those who sell their own people’s sovereignty for applause. Britain did not vote for this. Britain does not want this. And Britain will not tolerate this forever. The reckoning is coming. And it will not be kind. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@DanKingdom96 Should be points awarded for each second innings. So many matches are shaped by the 3rd innings performances. Crazy they are not recognised

Seeing as basically everyone seems to agree that 8 points is too many for a draw in the County Championship, I wondered if this might change but alas it remains the same Batting bonus points will also continue to start at 250

@Artemisfornow @danwootton Not a good look. Lazy at best; Divisive at worst. Supposed Head of Church of England!

🚨 What? … The King of the UK, who gave official Ramadan messages from the palace during Lent … WILL NOT be issuing an Easter message for Christians this year. It appears the ‘Leader of the Faith’ doesn’t really want to lead a Christian country 💣

Three days ago, Christians in Syria were brutally attacked and had their villages raided by Islamic militants Today, Keir Starmer rolled out the red carpet for the ISIS terrorist President of Syria While Christians bleed, Starmer pops the champagne for their butchers Pure evil

@Shadygize Fully, Italia 90.

Be honest, Which world Cup did you watch first?

@Gloscricket 1999 Natwest v Somerset. Lovely. Not to mention same year B&H v Yorkshire. Lovely.

As we head to Lord’s tomorrow, a question for you… What’s the most glorious Gloucestershire moment at Lord’s? 👀 Tell us down in the comments 💛🖤 #BecomeGlorious

Here @LiamHalligan absolutely nails everything that’s wrong with the UK economy now. Worth 10 minutes of your time.

In 2026 the UK government will raise £331billion in income tax but will spend £333billion on welfare / benefits. We are therefore working solely to pay for those who are not ! @RestoreBritain_

State of modern journalism: No empathy, no basic human decency, and no research. Just lazy reactions and rehearsed smugness. Tommy remains composed, polite, and focused on the victims family. Student learnt more from Tommy in that chat than he has ever done from his lecturer’s.

Exclusive!!! What a scoop for @DerbyshireCCC who are to become the first county cricket club to install a roof over their HQ ground. The ground at Derby, home to Derbyshire since 1870, will undergo a transformation over the coming three years to produce a venue capable of hosting cricket regardless of the weather, as well as a plethora of other activities. The domed roof will be over 75 metres high at its highest point and is shown here in the finalised architect's impression. The opening ceremony, which will dovetail with the opening game of the 2029 season, will see Derbyshire's players abseil into the arena from the rooftop...

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

🚨BIRMINGHAM TO BECOME UK'S FIRST ISLAMIC CITY Labour are projected to lose control of the council with the largest group being part of an Independent Islamist Alliance Together with the Green party who are Islamo-leftist they will control the council Dark days ahead

Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences. To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way. Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem. And we should be honest about where that leads. If a child loots a shop today, films it for social media, and faces no real consequence, they are going to do much worse tomorrow. This is why under my leadership Conservatives are focusing on ENFORCEMENT, not just making more and more rules. Our Take Back Our Streets Campaign is about getting 10,000 more police officers, immediate justice and immediate punishment. But let’s be honest, this is not just a policing issue. It is a failure of authority at every level. Parents need to know where their children are and what they are doing. Discipline should start at home, not in a courtroom. We have also weakened the system around them. Deterrence is the backbone of criminal justice. Labour have changed the law so anyone receiving a sentence under 12 months will automatically walk free, instead receiving a suspended sentence. When people believe offences like this will not lead to meaningful punishment, we should not be surprised when more of it happens. You get more of what you tolerate. It’s not like we haven’t been here before. In 2011, when riots spread, the Conservative response was swift and visible. People saw consequences. And behaviour rapidly changed. That is what is missing now. This all comes down to fairness. Law-abiding people should not feel like fools while gangs smash and grab without consequence. The sad truth is the communities most damaged by this behaviour are often the very ones these young people come from. Only one approach will fix this: clear rules, real consequences, and the confidence to enforce them. It’s time to Take Back Our Streets and bring back a culture of enforcement.
