One of the most amazing pieces of airmanship in the last 50 years - the Capt had to make a life or death decision and he made the right one - I wager 50% of pilots would have tried to get the aircraft home and crashed

OTD in 1995: A RAF Nimrod [XW666] ditches in Moray Firth (Scotland), all 6 aboard survive. The aircraft was on a routine post-servicing test flight when an engine fire forced the crew to ditch. Inquiry concluded “that a sequence of technical difficulties led to the uncontained fire”. The aircraft´s pilot, Sqn Ldr Art Stacey, received the Air Force Cross for his handling of the emergency. As a note, the jet´s nose section was recovered from the water and is currently on display at the South Yorkshire Air Museum

Imagine how this sounds to people in the private sector. A special unit to deliver the thing that the whole enterprise is meant to exist to deliver.
Darren Jones MP@darrenpjones
Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

I have marched against Nazis. I mean genuine 'blood and soil' Nazis: skinheads, bomber jackets, Doc Martens, National Front types. The people on the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally are not Nazis. And if you think they are, you need to give your head a wobble.

It means Nazi sympathisers and ethnicity-driven supremacists.
And also, thanks to our irresponsible media and political rhetoric, anyone who believes in borders, biological sexes and colour-blind equality before the law.
In this way, people who have nothing to do with Nazis are smeared as Nazis, ironically, to attempt to prevent them from becoming Nazis.
In this way, a tiny number of actual Nazis (who hate the majority of the people who are today called "far right") are taken as evidence of the existence of a massive far right which has to be countered through censorship, visa bans and suppression.
I covered the last Tommy rally and talked to hundreds of people. We encountered one person who was genuinely unpleasant (and not so much for his opinions but for being drunk and obnoxious). The rest were normal, ordinary people with opinions shared by the majority of the country.
The reality is that the media who tell you the opinions the people they report on supposedly have don't actually talk to them. I saw one prominent mainstream journalist at the last protest who actually went into the crowd and chatted to people. The rest of them stand in front of a group of protestors and tell you the company line.
This applies to every issue, btw. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

@KonstantinKisin @DrDominicGreen What does the “far right” even mean now? Wanting safety?

Well Keir Starmer was worried about people inciting violence today.
Turns out it’s from the far-left protesters who said “shoot him in the neck like Charlie Kirk” about Tommy Robinson.
Will he be arrested and fast tracked through the courts @metpoliceuk?

An incredible bit of teamwork, decision making and flying.

Police say today's 'Unite the Kingdom' rally passed 'largely without any signficant incident'. Probably worth noting that at the 2025 Notting Hill carnival, 528 people were arrested, four people were stabbed, and 55 police officers were assaulted.

@LoftusSteve You might have thought that might apply to Trial by Jury and Digital ID too. Do they care ? PR next ?

There is no mandate for the next Labour leader to rejoin the EU or anything else major outside their manifesto.
If they want to enact these policies they need to hold a GE.

It wasn’t a mistake it was a choice freely made which politicians and bureaucrats did their level best to hinder and frustrate sure of their own righteousness and oblivious to the damage they were doing. They are the catastrophe not the choice people made.

@SEANLWOODCOCK The problem is that politicians, Labour, Conservatives and Liberals, have imposed their view of what Britain should be on an electorate that has clearly rejected that. You are the ones who have stoked division and extremism.

I have spoken and written about my patriotism and love for my country before.
Those marching in London today are not that Britain.

I can't help thinking that if the British Government brought the energy it has to prevent the "far right" from entering the country to preventing illegal immigrants from entering the country there might not be a "far right" in the first place.

To those of us who think that a civil war is brewing in Britain, it seems that this kind of appeasement merely
postpones the start of it
Maybe Labour are hoping they'll be out of power by then

He was Russel group university student. He had his whole life ahead of him. But he was stabbed to death by a foreigner. He could have survived, but died in handcuffs, arrested, after his attacker falsely claimed he was "racist" to him. The media is silent on this story.

We have rape victims waiting years to have their day in court but David Lammy has found extra court capacity for the Unite the Kingdom march.
David Lammy@DavidLammy
The Unite the Kingdom march organisers are spreading hatred and division. They do not reflect the Britain I’m proud of. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right and one I will always protect. But if protest turns violent, we will act swiftly, with extra court capacity in place.

Can pull extra court capacity out of thin air when he thinks he needs it but can’t open courts NOW to get the backlog down.

Has there ever been a more blindingly obvious example of the grass is greener syndrome than the sudden hysteria surrounding Andy Burnham? He lost to Ed Miliband in 2010. He was thrashed by Jeremy Corbyn in 2015. Now he’s capped bus fares in Manchester and he’s seen as the all-conquering, returning hero and the saviour of Labour and the country?

2022: Labour Leader Keir Starmer claims at PMQs that Alaa Abd El-Fattah was ‘imprisoned for his social media posts’.
2025: Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer claims he did not know about those social media posts?
He’s the biggest liar that’s ever been in British politics.
