You have to love the British!! Last night at the O2 Arena — during the NBA game between the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies — just as the US anthem was playing, someone yelled, “Leave Greenland alone!” and the crowd broke out in applause.

@AndrewRosindell You know full well Reform will take your seat at the next election, so you might as well jump ship now if you want to stay employed & save yourself the embarrassment.

This evening, with sorrow, I have decided to resign from my position as an Opposition Shadow Minister and as a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party. Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs. However, the time has come to put country before party. The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me. Since entering Parliament in 2001, I have consistently argued, both from the backbenches and the frontbench, that the right of self-determination of the Chagossian people is sacrosanct, and that they alone should decide the future sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. Regrettably, these concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Both the government and the opposition have been complicit in the surrender of this sovereign British territory to a foreign power. This was made abundantly clear by the failure of Conservative peers to vote down the British Indian Ocean Territory Bill at third reading earlier this month, following direction from the top of the party. Sadly, I now believe that the Conservative Party is irreparably bound to the mistakes of previous governments and unwilling to take meaningful accountability for the poor decisions made over so many issues. Moreover, the views and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long. Following a conversation earlier this evening with Nigel Farage M.P., I have therefore agreed to join Reform U.K. as its seventh Member of Parliament. It is clear to me that Reform U.K. is now the only political movement that is genuinely willing to fight for the best interests of the United Kingdom. The views and concerns of the majority of the British people must no longer be sidelined. Our country has endured a generation of managed decline. Radical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain - one that firmly places the interests of the British people first.

@GodlyNations genocide

@SecRubio que chupa culos lol!!!

Every single thing President Trump has done in our relations around the world has been driven by the American people. We are his motivation. It has been an honor to serve under him and witness one of the most transformational years in U.S. foreign policy since the end of WWII.

@endthehiding You are not american mate!

@realrikkidoolan You lot jump on any fake news possible, as long as it suits your agenda. tesco.com/groceries/en-G…

So Tesco are selling “EVERGREEN TREES” instead of Christmas trees. We need to put the Christ, back into Christmas. ✝️

@adrianhayes You lot jump on any fake news possible, as long as it suits your agenda. tesco.com/groceries/en-G…

What utter nonsense. Even in the UAE Christmas is celebrated and my numerous Muslim friends will wish me ‘Happy Christmas’ - just as I wish them ‘Ramadan Kareem’ or ‘Eid Mubarak’. Tesco ‘renames Christmas tree as Evergreen tree’ telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/1…

@BGatesIsaPyscho You lot jump on any fake news possible, as long as it suits your agenda. tesco.com/groceries/en-G…

🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK Britains number 1 Supermarket Chain Tescos no longer sells Christmas Trees - they are now known as ‘Evergreen Trees’. They don’t wish to offend the ever growing number of people in the UK who don’t celebrate the birth of Jesus.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 @Tesco What a f***king liar! What’s wrong with you people? All the trees are called CHRISTMAS TREE. My son works at Tesco, piece of sh***t. You people are always spreading fake news. in Teco webiste the are called CHRISTMAS TREE. get a life

🚨 TESCO ARE NO LONGER CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS❗️ Their Christmas trees are now called Evergreen trees 🙄 @Tesco do better....

It’s highly unlikely that Tilehurst residents would want to join RBC instead of remaining in West Berkshire. ———— Reading plans to keep Tilehurst if West Berkshire joins Oxfordshire readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25619344.… #rdguk

@Jim_Jordan Thanks republicans

Have a canceled flight or waiting in a long TSA line? Thank a Democrat.

@AFTVMedia I’m not a fan of this new format. No offense, but I really miss the old guys — Jordan, Turkish, and James.
