We're going to nail this lazy, anti-social, bloke. However... we're not totally sure of where this fly-tipping location is. We think it might be in Petersfield, Hants. Can anyone confirm or challenge this? Please email john.read@cleanupbritain.org with any info. Thanks.

quantum physics is crazy because what do you mean every possible outcome of every choice you make actually happens.. it just splits into a parallel timeline. and the one you end up in is the one you already EXPECT to land in. which means if you want to quantum leap, you don't force an outcome. you change what you expect.

@tawf_uk Thank you so much for your hard work!

He arrived safely very late last night. ❤️🐴 Right now, our veterinary team is assessing and treating him. The condition of his leg is beyond words... and honestly, beyond what we can even show. I cannot thank my amazing supporters enough. Once again, you helped us bring a suffering soul to safety when he had nowhere else to go. This rescue is only the beginning. The real journey starts now with treatment, medication, care, and a long road to recovery. Please stay with us. I will share his full update very soon. And please keep helping us continue this life-saving work, because rescue is never the end of the story—it is where the story begins. ❤️ 💳 PayPal: paypal.me/TAWFUK ❤️ gofund.me/fa42e0f6a 🔗 linktr.ee/tahiraanimalwe… #StopDogCullingPakistan

The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this. What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.

Sorry, but this needs to be said again and again, until it is fully understood and accepted: 🇷🇺 The Russian Army has been fought to a standstill in Ukraine - 1.4 million casualties with about 400K deaths. The sheer scale of human and equipment losses is staggering. 🇷🇺 It means Russia is not going to precipitate a second war anytime soon. However, the Russian economy has proved to be much stronger and more resilient than Western analysts expected. Military spending has sustained growth even if inflation is high and energy export income has fallen. 🇷🇺 It is entirely possible that a peace deal could be concluded within the next 12 months. Any such agreement will only be signed off by Putin if it gifts him a large chunk of Ukraine. This will allow him to declare victory and remain in power. 🇷🇺 When the conflict with Ukraine ends, Russia will not immediately revert to a non-wartime economy. Peace will give Putin a much needed breathing space which he will use to rearm and retrain his battered army. It is likely to take a decade before Russia regains any credible military strength while the economy recovers — and it is entirely possible that China will support Russia’s rearmament process. So we could see a Russian military resurgence within 5 years. This is the risk. 🇷🇺 Whatever happens, there is no inexorable path to war with Russia. But if we do nothing, if we refuse to bolster our defences when time is on our side, it’s the same as leaving the door unlocked — we will invite aggression, because Putin is strategically ambitious and opportunistic. 🇷🇺 A strong Europe, fully prepared, with potent and flexible capabilities, plus resilient and scalable economic production, would definitely deter aggression, just as NATO’s Cold War presence in Europe kept the peace for almost half a century. 🇬🇧 So,we have a straightforward binary choice: deter aggression through strength. Invite aggression through weakness. I do not want to send my children to fight a war that could have been be avoided. If you are a parent, I hope you will agree.

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone. It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off. Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now. We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

Keir Starmer and his Attorney General are still trying to open up prosecutions against Northern Ireland veterans. Is it any surprise that they're not taking our country's security seriously, when this is how they treat people who've risked their lives to keep us safe?

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026…

@TiceRichard Reform doesn't even have a defence shadow yet.

Devastating letter from Healey to PM: “You have been unable and the Treasury has been unwilling to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country” Starmer in even more serious trouble, as is Reeves

@pritipatel The Conservatives did exactly the same.

The first duty of any government is to protect the defence and security of our country. But not under this Labour government. Keir Starmer and his Chancellor have put welfare spending over the defence of our country. In these dangerous times, this is a gross dereliction of duty by an ideological left wing government that is not fit to govern Britain. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@JohnHealey_MP Well done. A Government of sanctimonious speeches followed by dereliction of duty, enough.

My letter to the Prime Minister

this is true

The situation inside the MoD is so bad that Britain is second bottom in a Nato league table that ranks member states based on the extent to which they are meeting their rearmament promises. The UK is currently 31 out of 32 countries on a list — which may be published by the end of the month — detailing how each country is progressing in hitting the alliance’s capability requirements. The only country below the UK is understood to be Iceland, which does not have a military. thetimes.com/article/fe3f6c…

@NatureUnedited Cool clip but there are no documented cases of a wild orca killing a human. They are scary apex predators but humans are quite safe, people on surfboards and kayaks have safely paddled amongst an inquisitive pod.
