@OkayBiology OMFG - poor girl. We shouldn't have to live like this.

She wanted to jog through the park to get to the gym.☀️ Unfortunately diversity was lurking in the park and making her feel unsafe. The other women in the park were very wary of him too. No crime officially committed, just women feeling unsafe in the park. #LaboursNewNormal

OMFG - poor girl. We shouldn't have to live like this.

While the Government is busy pushing the lie that it’s @reformparty_uk whose donor base of British citizens somehow constitutes “foreign influence”, we now discover that the National Security Advisor has been engaging in secretive discussions with China about the need to 'deepen co-operation in all fields and to effectively manage disputes'. They are literally selling out British interests to a hostile power, and trying to do so without any scrutiny at all.

Accurate

Just spoke to a former senior government advisor. He had his mobile stolen on Whitehall. A full investigation was launched, initially by the Government security team, and then the police. The advisor was senior, but not as senior as McSweeney.

@hjoneshojo @LauraTrottMP @Startinglifeag1 MP is now Kim Leadbeater

And the Imam at the centre of whipping up the storm against the teacher is the brother of the Labour councillor for Batley West who at the time was Labour leader of Kirklees Council. The family name is Pandor. A third Pandor was convicted of grooming gang offences, either another brother or a cousin. The inquiry if it ever happens should look very closely at Batley.

Five years ago, hundreds of Islamists protested at the gates of Batley Grammar School all because a teacher showed a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad during a Religious Education lesson. Within days, he was forced into hiding. Threatened with death. His family targeted and children forced to miss school. Five years on. He is STILL in hiding. Still living in fear. In Britain. And what’s changed? Instead of defending free speech, Labour are now debating new definitions of “anti-Muslim hostility” and appointing a tsar to police it. This amounts to blasphemy law by the back door and it will have a significant and chilling effect on how people live. Labour councils in the north of England have issued advice to teachers warning that children’s drawings may be deemed “idolatrous” under sharia law. That music and dance lessons might breach religious expectations. Teachers are effectively being told to be careful. Children risk being labelled blasphemous for drawing a nativity scene. 
 No religion should be above the law. No belief should be beyond criticism. The Batley teacher was cleared of any wrongdoing and an independent report said he was badly let down. But it didn’t matter. His life was already torn apart. His children forced out of school. His family still in hiding. So ask yourself, if this happened again today, would anything be different? Or would we fail him all over again? We must stand up for our teachers.
We must defend children. 
We must say no to extremism and no to blasphemy laws in Britain. We MUST fight for free speech.

The parents of Barnaby Webber, who was killed by Valdo Calocane, have said they will ‘never forgive’ police officers who viewed footage and information relating to the attacks. @CDP1882 reports. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

He makes a good point

As PM he appoints, sacks and directs every Cabinet minister, including the Energy Secretary. He can tell Ed Miliband exactly what to do on drilling licences and fire him if he refuses. Claiming he has 'no power' is pure deflection.

More examples of the Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, reminding Boris to answer the question put forward to him. There’s no excuse for allowing Keir Starmer to evade every question time and time again during #PMQs

I have evidence of a primary school in Essex. It is 0.6% Muslim. (2 Muslims / 300) 'Hidden' Halal is served to all the children. The headmaster when asked by a parent said: "What does it matter: others can eat it.' Imagine saying that about serving meat to a vegetarian or pork to a Muslim or Jewish child.

🚨DERANGED: RAF Illegally BLOCKED 160+ White Male Pilots to Boost Diversity — MoD Confirms “This is one of the craziest decisions ever made by any branch of the British state ever!” The RAF literally paused hiring white men, preferring to recruit NO ONE over a qualified white male pilot, all to hit woke diversity quotas for women & ethnic minorities. A senior female recruitment officer resigned in protest, calling it illegal & immoral. MoD inquiry confirmed: it WAS unlawful positive discrimination. Over 160 male pilots had training suspended. 31 got compensation. This is deranged. Putting ideology before competence doesn’t make our military stronger, it puts national security at risk.

Monster!!

Same in the Netherlands. A 17-year-old girl named Milou was murdered by the state (euthanasia) after she had been raped twice at age 13 and 16. Her parents called the death doctor themselves to have her put down. We should, instead, bring back the death penalty for violent stranger rapes and gang rapes.

@DoctorLemma @WomensNN Just lovely 😍

Every August, the children of a small island off the south coast of Iceland stay up past midnight to save baby birds. The island is called Heimaey, part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. It is home to the largest puffin colony on earth. More than a million adult puffins nest in burrows along the island's grassy cliffs each summer, and when late August arrives, their chicks are ready to leave for the ocean for the first time. The problem is the lights. Baby puffins, called pysjas in Icelandic, navigate by moonlight. When they take their first flight in the dark, the streetlights and harbour lights of the town confuse them. Instead of heading out to sea, they veer toward land, landing in car parks, wandering down streets, huddling under vehicles, and exhausting themselves among the houses of a town that has no idea what to do with them. Every year, the kids of Vestmannaeyjar form what they call the Pysja Patrol. They go out after dark with cardboard boxes, chase down the disoriented chicks by hand, and bring them home. In 2024 alone, the children of an island with 4,500 inhabitants rescued more than 4,200 pufflings. Roughly one bird for every person who lives there. The next morning they take the boxes to the cliff edge, reach in, and throw each bird gently into the wind toward the sea. The tradition has been running for generations. Since 2003 every rescued puffling is first taken to the local natural history museum to be weighed, measured, and tagged before release. The data collected by children with cardboard boxes has contributed to decades of scientific research on one of the world's most important seabird populations. Iceland is home to sixty percent of all the world's puffins.

Just lovely 😍

Love a happy ending

One Missing Phone. One Very Convenient Gap in the Evidence. There is an old principle in the law of evidence that individual facts, each innocent in isolation, can combine to form proof. No single thread condemns. But weave enough of them together and the picture becomes impossible to deny. Keir Starmer spent years applying that principle to other people. He is about to have it applied to him. Morgan McSweeney's phone went missing in October last year, one month after Lord Mandelson was removed from his post as ambassador to Washington, and shortly after Downing Street officials had begun interviewing witnesses as part of an internal inquiry into how that appointment came to be made. The Metropolitan Police, we now learn, closed the investigation without speaking to McSweeney. They had written down the wrong address. The case has since been reopened after a journalist asked the right question. The phone matters because of what it almost certainly contained. McSweeney and Mandelson were close. McSweeney drove the appointment. The messages between them would have constituted, as lawyers sometimes say, the best evidence: direct, contemporaneous, unmediated by retrospective account. Those messages are gone. This would be less troubling if WhatsApp messages vanished when phones were stolen. They do not. They are stored. They can be recovered. Their disappearance is not a technical inevitability. It is a choice, or a failure, and nobody has yet explained which. One missing phone. One very convenient gap in the evidence. There is more. McSweeney was bound by guidance requiring him to preserve significant government information onto official systems. The Cabinet Office holds some of his messages. Not all. The remainder have not been accounted for. Meanwhile the documents that have been released tell their own story. Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser, described the appointment process as weirdly rushed. He had raised concerns about Mandelson's reputation with McSweeney directly, and was told the issues had been addressed. Sir Philip Barton, a senior foreign policy official, raised concerns too. Both men were overridden. The appointment proceeded. Months later Mandelson was sacked, the internal inquiry began, and then, with a timing that strains credulity, the phone disappeared. Then the police misfiled the report and closed the case. History offers us a word for this kind of sequence. Not conspiracy, which implies coordination and intent that cannot here be proved. The word is omerta: the closing of ranks, the convenient forgetting, the institutional instinct to protect itself from the reckoning it has earned. It does not require a villain. It requires only a culture in which the right questions are not asked, the right addresses are not recorded, and the right messages are not preserved. Keir Starmer came to office promising a different kind of politics. Transparency. Accountability. The rules applying to everyone. What his government has produced instead is a missing phone, a botched police report, unrecovered backups, a rushed appointment, a severance payment made to stop a disgraced peer talking, and a paper trail with a hole in it exactly where the most important evidence should be. That is not bad luck. That is a pattern. And patterns, as this Prime Minister knows better than most, are evidence. "The messages between them would have constituted, as lawyers sometimes say, the best evidence: direct, contemporaneous, unmediated by retrospective account. Those messages are gone."

I don’t believe McSwindle had his iPhone stolen. 🤷🏼‍♂️
