@TonyDowson5 @AudreySuffolk How unsurprising

R (Rupert Lowe MP) v Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme [2026] EWHC 1163 (Admin) Lowe, by way of JR, challenges ICGS (a House of Commons body) investigation into him. High Court finds that the claim is barred due to parliamentary privilege. judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

@rawlimark Where's the tiger?

Moving "at pace" - if the pace is that of an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping, climbing a glacier. First Wedgetail AEW&C not flown since November(!) and delivery to RAF this year looks set to slip. @DefenceEye_news #avgeek #defence defenceeye.co.uk/2026/05/14/wed…

@CumbrianFella_ Yes

Do people really believe that Russia is our enemy?

@FauteuilColbert @HMSDragon 😘

@GreatStrides65 @HMSDragon The point of the quotation from HMS 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 in parentheses, ending with a question mark, was to raise the question of its possible integration into the Groupe Aéronaval. M But thank you for stopping by. Have a good weekend. Bisous !

@soniasodha As long as the government can finally publish the Defence Investment Plan before a leadership election is triggered

Good call to hold the Makerfield by-election asap - Thursday 18th June.

@MtarfaL @DefenceSynergia Tbf, they only had 24 on board for about 5 minutes for the photo opp, then half went home for tea and medals

@DefenceSynergia Didn’t they declare FOC as well?? If so that must mean FOC also allows only half the required spares be available 🤷🏻‍♂️ Can’t wait to see the FOC for AJAX….

Lack of logistic support reduces force availability over time! This is true for all HM Forces. Logistics and maintenance are 'front line' essentials not optional extras!

Borrowing costs at their highest since @UKLabour was last in power 🤔

This is what corruption looks like

Remember the Charing Cross incident? Where the train was in, staff told me to wait for the ramp at the platform, I positioned myself next to the door and then they dispatched the train? SouthEastern have sent this offensive communique.

@afneil You and Boris Johnson both

Just like Andy Burnham, when I go for a jog I invariably find there’s a TV crew in the vicinity. It is SO annoying. 🤣😂

He wasn’t wrong was he? An absolute circus 🤡

@DanNeidle Doubling down

@GreatStrides65 In this case, I’m not sure they’re gullible, David. I suspect some of the people buying this product know exactly what the deal is. They’re just keeping the ball rolling on extremely dubious tax schemes for a few months longer.

A company called Liberty Rock claims you can pay your tax with a magic cheque. They'll make all your tax go away, for the small, small fee of 30% of the amount. The only problem: it's a fraud. We’ve obtained the documents and are naming the names. Thread:

@BonkersBusway @markrwilliamson This is the land systems bit

@markrwilliamson Sad to see them go. I enjoyed flying in and out of Marshall’s. Really efficient but friendly AT.

NEW: Marshall Land Systems set to relocate its UK production facility from Cambridge to Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. Have had this confirmed. Plan is for a phased transition beginning this summer. 1

@FTusa284 @PascalKmmerling @DefenceEye_news "later this month" (in March) and it's now May. I am getting Defence Investment Plan vibes

Hey @PascalKmmerling your recent E-7 story ends with, "...sachant que les Britanniques et les Turques sont déjà en possession de l’avion". The RAF E-7 isn't service, and as @DefenceEye_news exclusively reveals, programme is a mess with no flying a/c... defenceeye.co.uk/2026/05/14/wed…

@TomCotterillX The "mothership" looks useful as well, perhaps as a host for autonomous MCM systems? Also Norwegian so an order for some of those could fit quite nicely with the new defensive alliance. What do you think, @TomSharpe134?

This is a very cool piece of kit. But god help the submariners if they ever get into a situation where it is needed. Being stuck on a stricken submarine, hundreds of feet underwater, sounds nightmarish.

@realBenBloch Mr Farage is not very fond of scrutiny

The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety: "The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press. "As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself." theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…
