Just another soul

.@TfL Tube service this Easter weekend has been another rub-in-taxpayes-faces joke. Half the lines down on one of the busiest weekends when ppl go out and spend money in the capital. Now I'm stuck on Central line for ages. Are we a joke to you?

Hmm when politicians say things are fine it means everything is NOT fine

On Central Line, those eardrum-piercing hair splitting squeaks are driving me to the wall, with bad graffiti all around you sitting on seats that were so filthy that I wouldn't let my dog on it. Fares keep rising though, mind you. .@TfL

@persianjewess On PM earlier they interviewed someone from american "right" saying how disappointed the right are feeling..oh yea like the BBC only gets these guys on air when it suits beeb's angles. how often did you hear mega on bbc when they were singing Trump's praises?

Like clockwork, BBC airs a glowing eulogy of Ali Larijani. Larijani oversaw the massacre of tens of thousands of Free Iran protesters just two months ago. But BBC calls him “moderate” and “a man you could maybe do business with.” Absolute trash.

No Joke: 🇨🇳 Chinese regime tells U.N. Human Rights Council they are “committed to the promotion and protection of human rights” — and that the million-plus Uyghurs and Tibetans in so-called re-education camps “voluntarily participate.”

Behold Chinese “coast guard”: Filipino civilians were supplying aid to help local fishermen and the CCG attack them with water cannons. China's coast guard is really just a thug in uniform, bullying civilians in waters they illegally occupy.

Looking at Constable's one of late paintings Hadleigh Castle and listening to Beethoven late works somehow they ft. Feeling epic. What a fantastic blockbuster show, well thought and well planned. Well done .@tate

Keir Starmer's Chagos project has collapsed. Not because new facts emerged, nor because Parliament suddenly woke up, but because the United States finally looked closely at what Britain was doing and said no. The moment Washington raised the 1966 treaty, the whole structure gave way. A deal sold as urgent, lawful, and essential to security could not survive contact with reality. For months, Starmer insisted there was no alternative. He spoke of inevitability, of international law, of security imperatives that demanded speed. Yet the International Court of Justice opinion he relied upon was non-binding. No court order compelled action. No hostile force threatened Diego Garcia. No deadline loomed. The urgency was political, not strategic. And that fiction has now been exposed. The fatal flaw was never Mauritius. It was the treaty Starmer treated as an afterthought. The 1966 UK–US Exchange of Letters is clear. The Chagos Islands are to remain under British sovereignty to ensure the operation of the joint base. That agreement was not obscure. It was foundational. Any competent government would have resolved its status before drafting legislation to hand the territory away. Starmer pressed ahead regardless, confident that the United States would fall into line later. That confidence was misplaced. Trump's earlier acceptance was casual and conditional. But when the legal consequences sharpened, and the treaty could no longer be waved away as a technicality, the White House pulled the plug. Trump called the plan an act of great stupidity, and suddenly the bill vanished from the Lords' schedule. The same government that spoke of urgency now cannot proceed. This exposes the lie at the heart of the deal. If national security were the driver, the treaty would have been the starting point. If legality mattered, Parliament would have been told the full cost and the unresolved risks. Instead, Starmer claimed the handover would cost just £3.4 billion, a figure he falsely linked to the OBR, while his own officials estimated the real bill at more than £35 billion. Parliament was expected to nod it through after the fact, armed with a number that was never true. He hid behind an authority that had not endorsed the figures and rushed a handover that would have placed British sovereignty in legal limbo while tens of billions flowed out of the defence budget. What we are watching is not diplomacy gone wrong. It is statecraft conducted by assumption. Assumption that international courts must be obeyed. Assumption that allies will acquiesce. Assumption that Parliament will rubber-stamp. Assumption that Britain should give first and argue later. That mindset is managerial, legalistic, and deeply hostile to the idea of national power. The bill was pulled because the bluff was called. Once the treaty surfaced, the security argument inverted itself. Once Washington objected, Starmer had nowhere to go. A Prime Minister who claimed there was no choice has now discovered that his choice could not stand. This episode will endure as a warning. Not about Trump's temperament or transatlantic spats, but about a governing class that treats sovereignty as an inconvenience and treaties as paperwork to be tidied up after the fact. Britain was inches away from giving away territory in breach of a live defence agreement, on the back of a non-binding opinion, financed by a fiscal fiction, all to satisfy an international audience that does not vote here and does not pay the bill. Starmer did not stumble into this. He built it on sand. And when the tide came in, it washed away the pretence. "The moment Washington raised the 1966 treaty, the whole structure gave way. A deal sold as urgent, lawful, and essential to security could not survive contact with reality."

Remember: Keir Starmer went to *extreme lengths* so he could deceive Parliament and the public about the true cost of the Chagos surrender deal. He instructed civil servants to lower the £35bn cost on paper to £10bn, manipulated the accounts further, then lied to everyone saying it would only cost £3.4bn. He did this just so he could spend £BILLIONS of our taxpayers' money to give away strategically important sovereign territory. It's INSANE. He wilfully misled Parliament. He lied to the public. He is putting us at risk. He is working against our national interest. Whatever his reasons, I'm glad Trump has changed his mind and he now says it's 'stupid'. This ludicrous deal should be revoked, Keir Starmer should be booted out of office, and he should be criminally charged with treason. We need a general election. The man is an absolute disgrace.

Today, the Government will use a remedial order to overturn legislation passed in 2023 by the Conservatives that stopped lawfare against our veterans. This will mean civil action against our veterans. This is not justice; the Government must stop

The Mega Embassy, the Chagos giveaway, Miliband's China powered Net Zero zealotry, the collapse of the Chinese spying case. Labour's relationship with China is foolhardy at best, treacherous at worst Read the full, breathtaking analysis, only at: thatalexwoman.com/p/is-starmer-b…

Chinese Mega Spy Embassy in London... Chagos given to Chinese ally Mauritius 1220 miles away from it... Beijing Barry being given £400k (for "nothing" of course)... ...and now they select China to supply steel over Britain. Are you joining the dots yet, folks? #GetLabourOut

I have no hope for the UK's future. We haven't seen a single crackdown on pro-Hamas rallies. But UK police have beaten the young & elderly for Iran's Lion & Sun flag. Islamists are now governing the UK, & they will be a stain on history for attacking Iranians. @Keir_Starmer

Please don’t stop paying attention to this, it is the worse atrocity towards our eco system this century
