This is not good news given what will now happen to UK finances as a result of the war on Iran. And perhaps we can have some silence from all those who piled to exaggerate the significance of January’s freak figures. The UK borrowed a higher than expected £14.3bn in February. The shortfall between government spending and income was £2.2bn higher than in the same month a year ago and far above the £8.5bn forecast by economists polled by Reuters. At a time of peril for nation’s finances it is frightening to have R Reeves as Chancellor.

Every time the FBI released “new prison footage from the night Epstein was murdered” it was FAKE. Totally manufactured. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino KNEW it was fake and they looked the American people in the eyes and LIED to them anyway. All to protect a ring of pedophiles.

New leaked Epstein documents show the FBI removed the hard drive from the prison's camera system and wiped all footage from the night Jeffrey Epstein was murdered..

Trump does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Persian Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

The cost of government borrowing for 30 years has just hit 5.6%, compared to the worst one day spike to 4.8% under Truss. Rachel Reeves said that rate had crashed the economy. Oh dear, what has the Chancellor done?

For a number of years, more than 20 years ago, I worked for a Pakistani owned business and lived in a Muslim dominated area of Manchester. I understand why Nick feels this way, and those railing against it in the name of diversity are ignoring that Islam is aggressively intolerant of other religions. I have many years of personal experience with both immigrant and British born Pakistanis. There was no real difference. Islam is the one true faith and all others are "kafir". It's a far more exclusive religion than others, there is no interest in diversity of faith. You are Muslim, or you are "kafir". This was highlighted to me on the day of 9/11. It was early in the morning, around 9am, and cheers started echoing down the corridors. Word started to spread and they were all grinning and clapping each other on the backs. These were men and women born and raised here for the most part. The owner wheeled in a big CRT TV and 30-40 of them gathered around BBC news laughing and cheering like Pakistan were in the cricket world cup final. It is not hard to see why large public prayers by followers of a religion perceived as hostile to your very existence can feel less like worship and more like an assertion of dominance. I'm sure there are many good, tolerant Muslim people in this country who mix Western ideals with the muslim faith. People that consider themselves British among all else. But I learned that day that there are less than you think.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

All the complaints were rejected at first triage by the BBC. The response itself is biased by maintaining the pretence that Connell is female. The BBC Complaints Unit is as much a problem as Woman’s Hour. There are a couple of sensible people there but it’s run on the principle of affirmation. It’s a lot of effort to go through all the BBC stages to get to the ECU but you can make it easier by not overthinking each fresh progression of your complaint. If you work on the basis that it will be rejected (which it will be) it’s faster, and you can save your energy for the final go at the Executive Complaints Unit. Remember that there was a response like this rejecting the initial flood of complaints about Martine Croxall saying pregnant people are women. That was overturned when 20 people pursued it all the way to the ECU. This response isn’t the end of it. It’s just that there were so many complaints they had to issue something. bbc.co.uk/contact/compla…

Catch up thread from this week. First up Woman’s Hour and its ‘misogyny’ interview with Raewyn Connell, who it described as a ‘feminist sociologist studying the social theory of gender relations and masculinity’. While there might be reasons to interview a man about the misogyny of claiming to be a woman, only a team of raging activists would pretend he is a woman and ask him about his personal experience of ‘misogyny’ (of which he has none) and how to tackle it. He had no relevant expertise, except in his own perpetuation of misogyny, he added nothing, wasn’t asked the obvious questions, and was a poor, stumbling and dull radio guest. We’ve contacted the Controller of Radio 4 and the Head of Editorial Policy. /

Six months before bombing Iran and closing the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump administration fired all the State Department oil and gas experts. The people who modeled exactly this scenario. The ones with contacts at Gulf energy ministries. Now nobody knows who to call. You cannot make this up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ notus.org/trump-white-ho…

This thread is quite something. NHS England climbing down in real time. Their defence is essentially: "we didn't know we weren't doing it properly - everyone else was doing it wrong too". Not the strongest hand to take to a tribunal. These people are supposed to have brains.

Epstein designated Glenn Dubin as successor trustee of his trust. Not a dinner guest. Not a casual associate. The person Epstein chose to control his financial assets. Virginia Giuffre named Dubin in her depositions. Bank of America just settled to block his deposition.

Ffs, the only thing I expect from AI is to tell me which country produced the most coffee in 2016 if I’m in need of that information in a pinch. And then compare that output with several other years. If I want this shit I’ll just listen to my teenager.

A journalist does her actual job and asks a difficult question to Donald Trump regarding the Epstein files: Trump: “You’re a terrible person and a terrible reporter. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and is so wrong.” In the court of Trump, he only wants fawning sycophants surrounding him and shuts down, threatens and demeans anyone who has the guts to question or stand up to him. The diametric opposite of what freedom of speech should stand for.

I’ve recently returned to journalism after being cancelled for saying I didn’t like the phrase “pregnant people” - which decimated my business. I also had breast cancer last year. And cancer has a way of clarifying what matters. So I went back to journalism. Pitching comment pieces. Finding stories. Rebuilding relationships with editors - knowing that would take time. What I wasn’t prepared for was this: You can no longer make a living solely from freelance journalism. Rates don’t seem to have increased since it was my full-time job pre-Covid. In some cases, they’ve gone down. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on a proper investigation again - the kind of story that takes time, persistence and careful evidence gathering. I loved it. A national newspaper said yes immediately when I pitched it. But when the rate came through, even the editor sounded apologetic. Because this is exactly the kind of journalism we’re told is vital. And yet - it’s no longer financially viable. It’s not just the money. The conditions have shifted too. There was a time when if you were asked to go on TV or radio - especially late at night - a car would be sent. Or a taxi home booked. Now you’re expected to get yourself there and back. So you can spend an evening discussing violence against women - then find yourself making your own way home alone in the dark. A decade ago, I treated journalism as a “loss leader” - funding bigger investigations through media training, speaking, copywriting. I even wrote a book on how to get press coverage, which became a gateway to that work. Back then, it supplemented my income. Now, it feels essential. So I’m not just rebuilding my journalism career - I’m rebuilding the income streams that make it possible. And there’s another layer. Alongside stagnant rates, I’m also navigating the fallout of “cancellation”. I used to teach journalism at university level - something I loved. I can’t see that being an option now. Can you imagine a university taking on the perceived risk of having a “TERF” in their journalism faculty? And I’d be naive not to wonder whether some editors look me up, see that I’m gender critical, and quietly pass. So this is the reality: Trying to do meaningful journalism - in an industry that no longer pays for it, while navigating the risk of being excluded from it. And yet, the work still matters. Perhaps more than ever.

Hands up if you’ve had your council tax bill for the next year and it’s going up! 🙌🏼 Mine wasn’t frozen, it’s gone up. Labour lied to get into power. “Labour would freeze your council tax” “Not a penny more on your council tax” “No ifs, no buts” Lies, lies, and more lies.
