As we approach #RemembranceDay we're shining the spotlight on Cadets hard at work selling poppies across the region to raise funds for @PoppyLegion. 1st up, it's @CambsACF who were out & about over the weekend doing their bit for this year's #PoppyAppeal. Pic Credit Cambs ACF

Long day of preparations for Dennis’ funeral on Thursday. Thank you so much to all those who are coming and taking part.. his abandonment in Northern Ireland is in total contrast to how the Nation truly feels about him. Plymouth will show that on Thursday, I’ve no doubt.

‘This feeling of being the only spearhead, the only instrument between German domination and democracy was the one that kept us going. It gave us an elation that far transcended all else.’ - Sailor Malan #TheFew @SocietySpitfire @RAFHornchurch @pettore

They wear masks to walk alone outside and take them off to greet each other indoors. It’s all theatre.

Why are girls aged 7 being polled on protecting the planet? What possible life experience could they have to make any sense of the situation? Other than parents and teachers telling them to panic. My goodness it sounds miserable being a kid at the moment.

As the long, dark nights of winter start, a meeting of two icons of the night sky. The #InternationalSpaceStation is seen passing behind the statue of #Pegasus, the emblem of #airborne forces, at our home at Merville Barracks, Colchester. @Space_Station #Astrophotography

Neither Parliament nor the electorate voted for Net Zero and the Government needs send a clear message that for very good reasons... reaching the Net Zero target by 2050 may not be possible, writes Clive Moffatt conservativehome.com/platform/2021/…

@pstearmanphoto @NorfolkPolice We were all over it in 2000!

Today two police officers on the same petrol station in Dereham stopping excessive queues, I get that, but why did it need a sergeant and constable on the same entrance? @NorfolkPolice #wastingresources #policeshortage

#OnThisDay 1758 Horatio Nelson was born in #Norfolk He joined @RoyalNavy as an Ordinary Seaman at 12 years old in HMS RAISONNABLE but was quickly promoted to Midshipman and officer training. In a 34 year career he fought in over 14 battles until his death in 1805 at Trafalgar.

Over 155,000 people have now put their names to a petition calling for Hs2 to be scrapped. As I keep saying it’s time to put this very expensive white elephant out of its misery. HS2 must go. Our focus needs to be on good local transport & reliable internet connections for all.

"This House needs to know first. I find it totally unacceptable that once again, we see Downing Street running roughshod over members of parliament" Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle criticises government for informing media before MPs about latest restrictions bbc.in/3wrWJxE

Another scientist from SAGE on telly, grim faced, advocating ‘sensible caution’ (vs reckless caution!?) wanting restrictions extended beyond 21st June. Just bonkers. So few hospitalisations and deaths now and all vulnerable people jabbed. #enoughisenough

The new chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, "old fashioned" Stephen Watson, has banned visible tattoos, will be staying off social media and says he "doesn't do virtue signaling" GMP's new chief says officers will be "smart and professional" bit.ly/3hWeWia

A statement on today’s report of The Dyson Investigation

@alison4stratton I’m absolutely delighted you have been re-elected with an overwhelming mandate as well, trying to keep up with you on the campaign trail is nye on impossible #roadrunner 😀

As true at the start of the pandemic as in the middle of pandemic and now, the Westminster lobby bubble has literally no idea what is going on. They really should get out a bit more and stop making stuff up

Precision.

Big Respect @JohnnyMercerUK red lines are red lines. Like you I stand in line with all @DefenceHQ servicemen/women and veterans. We must stand together against unfounded prosecutions.

The cold hell of a Covid funeral in one picture. Shameful putting any grieving widow through this isolation at their greatest moment of need.

Legacy media mocking the flag and Britain one week, and feigning grief the next, is hard to stomach when you’ve loved the place all along.
