You’re the energy secretary. Yet you don’t seem to know that BP’s ‘excess profits’ come from its global oil trading division, which is not subject to UK ‘excess profits’ windfall tax, not from its North Sea activities, which are. Remarkable.

Many thanks to the Irish for taking this loon ball off our hands in the January transfer window.

The man has paid his dues on tour and as much as the PGA Tour doesn’t like it, this is the reality when the Majors are the only real priority.

To be brutally honest, you’d have to be an absolute fucking idiot, with the critical thinking skills of a lobotomised goldfish to need any reminder of the glaringly obvious truth: that pumping your body full of powerful drugs which destroy your sexual function, libido, and long-term physical health, while hacking off perfectly healthy body parts in some deranged quest to “transition,” is an absolute catastrophe for your mental health. And let’s not sugarcoat this insanity: even after all that self-mutilation and chemical castration, you still don’t come anywhere close to resembling the opposite sex. You just end up looking like a grotesque, surgically butchered parody of a human being trapped in a broken, infertile shell with irreversible damage, skyrocketing regret, and a shredded psyche that was already fragile to begin with. Wake the fuck up.

What’s fucking mental to me, is it’s all the youngsters that fucking love this cunt of a party, literally destroying their own future so their uni mates who they won’t know in 5 years don’t think they’re racist😂

An agreement was in place between INEOS and PetroChina, to save the Grangemouth refinery with a £300million investment. @theSNP and @scottishgreens cabal demanded full net-zero upgrades which would have cost £1bn. ROI on that? 15years, with uninterrupted service. Far more, if any downtime was suffered. The demand made was a blackmail by @scotgov, which failed, costing jobs, investment and loss of a hugely important refinery. Anyone who continues to vote for @JohnSwinney and his cult, needs a short, sharp, shock.

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way. Allow me to explain why. Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots. Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion. He spent two nights in the ICU. There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed. This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close. The full story behind today is insane. In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes. At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world. Then everything slowly fell apart. After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear. Not regular nerves. Actual, debilitating terror. He was afraid he was going to die. Afraid something was going to happen to his kids. Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep. At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour. He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall. His hands were trembling. He had no appetite. Spasms would jolt him awake at night. He was losing focus over putts. Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing. An MRI finally revealed the cause. A lesion was growing on his brain. It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety. Think about that. The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation. His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear. In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy. Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye. They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing. He walked out of the hospital two days later. Started putting again two days after that. He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open. But he was nowhere near the same player. In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes. His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open. For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers. And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with. Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD. He kept it hidden for over a year. He described being hypervigilant on the course. A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was. He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry. He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds. He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone. He said he felt like he was living a lie. Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf. On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly. He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything. The PTSD. The crying. The fear. All of it. He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back. Then he showed up at Memorial Park. He opened with a 64. Then a 63. Then a 65. Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out. 259 total. A tournament record. 21-under par. Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard. Wire to wire. Led every single round. His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open. Nearly seven years between victories. Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see. This is a guy who was a basketball player first. He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future. He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025. The seventh player to ever receive it. And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days. The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here: itsgame7.com/news/gary-wood… There is a reason this one hits different. Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries. Things you can see. Things that heal on a timeline. Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain. Something that turned his own mind against him. And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical. It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay. Three weeks ago he said the words out loud. Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

So let's get this straight. This is the deputy leader of the Green Party with his fully veiled wife, right? And the leader of the Green Party is the gay Jewish bloke who yesterday gyrated on stage with a load of men dressed in bondage gear. Which of these two loons is actually representative of the Green Party because it seems to me that, even at the top, they have absolutely no idea what they're about.

Aberdeen in 92 Anderson Drive bursting with flowers Scotland's streets used to look like this under real governance Now, thanks to the SNP, our towns are crumbling, litter strewn dumps while they waste millions on gender ideology, rusting ferries, gaelic road signs and division

Slave reparations! I’m all in! I’ve decided to personally gift £1 million Sterling to every single person my family ever enslaved. Please form an orderly queue and bring: • Ironclad documents proving my family personally enslaved you (bonus points if they include my great-great-grandpa’s signature and a Polaroid). • Your birth certificate proving you were born before Britain abolished slavery on 1 August 1834. • Proof you’re still alive (the gift can only be claimed in person, no ghosts, no estates, no “my ancestor told me so”). Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe swing by the local cemetery with a shovel. I’m sure those poor souls buried since the 1800s would appreciate being dug up for their cheque. They’ve waited long enough, right? Look, if we’re doing “reparations” for historical slavery, let’s do it properly: only to the actual victims. Not their great-great-great-grandchildren who were born free in the 20th or 21st century, sipping oat milk lattes while tweeting about “trauma.” This isn’t justice, it’s a cosmic-level grift. It’s like demanding the Roman Empire pay for the roads they built because some distant ancestor got conquered by Caesar. Or billing modern Italians for every Gaul who got turned into a slave 2,000 years ago. Newsflash: No living person in Britain today was a slave under British law, and no living person in Britain today owned slaves under British law. The people who suffered are dead. The people who profited are dead. Their descendants, Black, White, Asian, mixed, whatever had zero say in it. Chasing “reparations” from random taxpayers (including the descendants of abolitionists, coal miners, and people who arrived after 1834) isn’t healing historical wounds. It’s creating new ones while opening the most hilarious Pandora’s box in human history: • Should Ireland demand reparations from Britain for the Potato Famine? • Should Britain demand reparations from Denmark for the Viking slave raids? • Should Italians bill Mongols for the sack of Baghdad? • Should every African nation start invoicing each other for the centuries of tribal warfare and slave-trading that predated (and supplied) the transatlantic trade? Where does the grievance chain end? 1066? The Bronze Age? Lucy the Australopithecus getting stiffed on her cave rent? Slavery was a universal human horror, practised by every civilisation from the Egyptians to the Aztecs to the Arabs to the Africans themselves (who sold millions into the trade). Britain didn’t invent it. Britain ended it, at massive cost, with the Royal Navy spending decades hunting slave ships while other empires kept right on going. Demanding cash from people who never owned slaves, to give to people who were never slaves, isn’t “reparations.” It’s retroactive time-travel cosplay with other people’s money. It’s the ultimate participation trophy for historical victimhood: “My ancestor suffered, therefore I deserve a payout… even though I live in a free society with more opportunity than 99.9% of humans who ever lived.” If you want actual justice, how about this radical idea: Stop obsessing over who owes whom from 200 years ago, and start judging people by what they do today. Work hard. Build. Create. Don’t inherit grievances like their family heirlooms. The desire for slavery reparations isn’t righteous anger. It’s lazy, entitled, historically illiterate greed dressed up as moral superiority, demanding a lottery win for a suffering you never endured, from people who never caused it. My £1 million offer stands. Just bring the paperwork. And a time machine. #Reparations #Slavery Oh, and fcuk you Lenny Henry.

It’s bad for universities of Oxford’s calibre to be associated with advocacy like this. The report ignores the costs of intermittency of wind and solar, which instantly makes its analysis useless. If you’re concerned about the anti-university trend, this is part of the problem.

Ranger Rover for me, not thee

Beyond parody. Delivered years late, tens of millions over budget and after a year in service, doesn’t work. It’s a fitting symbol for SNP Scotland.

This is really causing a cultural schism between the US and UK. To them, the Bad Word is just such an unforgivable sin. To us, a bunch of rich and famous people being a dick to a disabled man is actually far worse.

Jesus fuck. They were warned that a disabled man at a posh event might shout out inappropriate stuff, he did, they felt uncomfortable for two seconds, and now it’s like they’re returning from a long and terrible war 🙄🙄🙄

Thankfully they were intercepted by human rights lawyers who told the missiles they were acting contrary to international law.

On the left, you have Iranian women who are removing their hijabs and dancing in the middle of Tehran. On the right, you have protesters in Parliament Square in London, against the U.S. attacks on the Iranian regime. A striking difference.

Almost everything this PM says now requires a community note. The electricity price cap is not coming down because the government has managed to produce electricity more cheaply. It’s still the most expensive in the world — and forecast to become even more expensive. The cap is reduced because the government has taken £117-worth of largely green subsidies from fuel your bills and put them on to general taxation. You’re still paying for them — just in a different way. And as your taxes go up to meet these green levies the cap is still £73 higher than when Labour came to power. So your energy bills are not coming down — though Labour promised they would — and the overall tax burden is at a record high. There PM. Sorted it for you.

Sky News finding out what we’ve all known for years is genuinely hilarious and utterly terrifying at the same time. This is why I go out on the weekends and speak to real people outside of the bubble.
