🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 The smallest astronomer in England was 4 foot 3, scarred by smallpox and trained as a house servant. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Then she found something in the sky no woman had ever claimed. Caroline Herschel was born in Hanover, a bandsman's daughter. Smallpox scarred her face as a little girl. Typhus at 10 nearly killed her and stopped her growing at 4 foot 3. Her mother decided no man would ever marry her, so she was trained for the scrubbing brush, a servant in her own family's house. Then a letter came from her brother William, a musician in Bath. Keep his house, and learn to sing. In August 1772 she stepped ashore in England. It would be home for the next 50 years. By day she ran his house and sang his concerts. By night, her brother answered to a different master: the sky. He ground telescope mirrors for hours on end and she fed him as he worked. In 1781, from their back garden, he found Uranus, the first planet discovered in recorded history. The King made him his astronomer, and Caroline came along as the housekeeper. Again. 🔭 Then William built his little sister a telescope of her own. She swept the sky with it, and the night began to give things up. New nebulae of her own, 14 of them. And on 1 August 1786, with William away and the telescope hers alone, she caught a blur that had not been there the night before. It moved. A comet. The first ever found and claimed by a woman in her own name. The court called it "the first lady's comet". 🔥 A year later King George the 3rd put her on a royal salary. £50 a year, in her own name. The first woman in Britain ever paid to do science. The girl trained to scrub floors was now paid to read the sky. 7 more comets followed. 8 in all. England kept her for 50 years, until William died. Back home in Hanover she set 2,500 nebulae in order, a catalogue for everyone who came after. In 1828 the Royal Astronomical Society sent its Gold Medal to Hanover. 🏛️ No woman won it again until Vera Rubin. In 1996. 🇬🇧 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Her second comet is still out there, on the long road back. It returns around 2092. A girl in school today could live to watch it come home. She should know a girl 4 foot 3, told to scrub floors, got there first. We are the home of British heroes.

🚨 WHY did Manchester City Council approve a lease for the exact Heron House suite now used as No.10 North on 10th June 2026? Andy Burnham wasn’t even an MP until the Makerfield by-election on 18th June. He didn’t become Prime Minister until 20th July. So why was the temporary headquarters for “No.10 North” being signed off weeks before he was even elected to Parliament? How does a serving Mayor “know” he’s about to win a by-election, get parachuted into the leadership, and be crowned PM within weeks — unless the entire sequence was already locked in? If you’re not asking these questions, you’re choosing not to see it: The by-election was engineered. The MPs who voted him in were already aligned. The system was primed and ready. Burnham wasn’t elected into No.10. He was placed. Demand answers. Share this. Force the media to confront the timeline.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The public record is right here: councilgateway.poteris.co.uk/decisions/1719…

Simple as.

Iranian girl Fatemeh whose video got viral when she riped off her hijab during January protest & demanding the freedom, equality & dignity for Iranian women has been executed by Islamic regime. Leftist media will not cover this news, you need to tell the world. 💔

‘Muslims in Dubai, Egypt and Saudi Arabia constantly ask me what the hell we are doing in the UK giving so much space to Islamists. They think we’re too soft on these scumbags. The Muslim world has had enough of them.’ Fiyaz Mughal on Islamists in the UK:

@TheBritLad Good, fuck off - I'll even pay towards a plane ticket

Muslims across Britain are considering leaving Britain. The most newest survey shows that 1 in 3 Muslims are considering leaving the UK due to “rising Islamophobia” and not feeling welcomed. What is your message to the Muslim communities?

🚨Labour - do as I say not as I do. Angela Rayner has taken £182,376 in speaking fees and a book advance, plus a £16,876 exit payment after resigning — and refused to repay it after getting the exact same job back less than a year later. “The Tory ministers who lost their jobs today will all get a £17,000 bonus on their way out the door. After failing the public, they get a reward.” — Angela Rayner, 2021 “This is beyond shameful. Being an MP isn’t a second job. It is the job.” — Angela Rayner, 2023 She spent years attacking others for second jobs and severance payouts. Then she took both. The gap between the words and the actions is hard to miss. #pigsinmud #labour

@Gaynotqueer1 Absolutely fucking amazing 🤣

This is real. "We're delighted to announce that one of our incredible volunteers at KRIMMZ Youth Club in Bolton, was this week awarded with the British Citizen Award! She received the award at the Palace of Westminster in recognition of her work empowering young women."

Imagine having a Muslim Home Secretary responsible for British borders and she’s let in over 46,000 Muslim men in less than 12 months. You don’t have to imagine as it’s reality in Britain 2026.

Rayner's £182,000 Masterclass In Hypocrisy Angela Rayner spent years telling the country that MPs' second jobs were a racket. In March 2023 she wrote that being an MP "isn't a second job. It is the job." Labour, she promised, would put an end to the practice. Eighteen months later she resigned from Cabinet in disgrace over her own financial affairs. Within a year she had earned £182,376 from speeches, book advances and a severance payment she had no obligation to keep. Then she walked straight back into the job she had left. The figures are not subtle. She earned £104,000 from speaking fees in ten months, on top of an MP's salary that rose to £98,599 in April. She took £61,500 as a book advance for a memoir about her own life. She kept a £16,876 exit payment while Wes Streeting, reappointed to Cabinet the same week, is serving his first three months for nothing. One fee stands apart from the rest. Propertymark, a trade body representing the property sector, paid Rayner £20,000 for a two-hour speaking engagement. That is £10,000 an hour, from an industry lobby group, paid to a former Housing Secretary weeks before she was reappointed Housing Secretary. Nobody pays that rate for after-dinner charm. They pay it for access, and they got exactly what they paid for. This is not a speaking fee. It is a retainer with a lectern attached. The woman collecting these cheques left the department with a housebuilding record to be ashamed of. Official figures published by the Ministry of Housing in November show England delivered 208,600 net additional dwellings in 2024-25, a fall of 6 per cent on the year before. New build completions dropped from 198,610 to 190,600. Labour's manifesto promised 1.5 million homes over the Parliament, a rate of 300,000 a year. Rayner delivered barely two-thirds of that. Housebuilding did not accelerate under her stewardship. It slowed. She has an answer ready for all of it. The severance payment was earned, she told BBC Radio 5 Live, because she had genuinely left government for a period of time. That defence collapses under its own logic. The payment exists to cushion ministers against sudden unemployment. Rayner was not unemployed. She was the best-paid backbencher in Britain, drawing more from four speeches than most of her constituents earn in three years. Joanna Marchong of the think tank Onward put it plainly: Rayner built her brand attacking Tory sleaze and demanding a ban on MPs' outside earnings, then pocketed £180,000 the moment the rules stopped applying to her. Lee Anderson called her year out a good little earner. Both are right, and neither goes far enough. The deeper failure sits in the housing numbers, where the gap between rhetoric and delivery is measured not in pounds but in homes that were never built. Labour came to power promising a government that would look different from what came before it. Rayner's year off shows how quickly that promise curdles into the same old story: rules for the public, exemptions for the powerful, and a lobby group's cheque book standing in for genuine accountability. She missed her housing target by a third and was rewarded with reappointment. She broke her own stated principle on second jobs and was rewarded with £182,376. The voters who elected this government on a promise of change deserve to know that the change stopped at the Cabinet door. "Rayner's year off shows how quickly that promise curdles into the same old story: rules for the public, exemptions for the powerful"

@TRobinsonNewEra @thenodeproject Evil

The Fabian Society explained. Great work @thenodeproject

The first meeting at No10 North.

@TRobinsonNewEra They walk amongst us

According to the Leader of the Lib Dems in Warwickshire Sarah Boad, there are no rape gangs, race is not a factor in the abuse and the main perpetrators are white, British men.

@NoContextBrits It used to be good

Say something nice about the UK.

APPLICATION TO TURN GRADE II LISTED PUB INTO MOSQUE Many people have asked me to help resist the planning application to turn the beautiful old Gatehouse Pub, in Dereham Road, Norwich, into a mosque. The Gatehouse Pub is: * Grade II listed with Historic England; * Listed as an Asset of Community Value by Norwich City Council * Partly in Flood Zone 3 * Proposed as part of a riverside walk section to complete the beautiful River Wensum Riverside Walk * Designated by the Council as informal amenity open space The building would be enlarged by 45% and might come to dominate the site area along this beautiful stretch of the river. They say: "… Friday between 12.00 and 14.30 when approximately 100 - 150 worshippers could attend… it may be become operationally necessary to split the congregation on a Friday by holding two sessions instead of one…" There would only be 24 parking spaces – not enough for so many worshippers in this sensitive area. eveningnews24.co.uk/news/26281313.… Local people are rightly concerned, especially about the risk of harm to the historic beauty of this building and its surrounding location. I am asking you for donations toward the out-of-pocket expenses of £2,000 to resist it. givesendgo.com/norwich As usual, none of the money goes to me, but to the costs of fighting this application. Please 🔁

There was no word for what this woman did. So Britain had to make one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Mary Somerville's whole schooling was 1 year, at a girls' boarding school in Musselburgh. She left it feeling, in her own words, like a wild animal escaped out of a cage. After that she taught herself, from the family shelves, by candles they tried to take away. The spark was a puzzle on the back page of a friend's fashion magazine, numbers mixed in with letters. Nobody she asked could explain it. It was algebra, and she wanted more. Custom stopped a woman buying such books, so her brother's tutor bought her Euclid. She worked through it alone, line by line. By 1811 she had taught herself enough to win a silver medal for mathematics. Then she took on Laplace's Mecanique Celeste, the mathematics of the heavens, in French. Asked to translate it for British readers she did far more. She rebuilt the mathematics inside it, and in 1831 The Mechanism of the Heavens went to print. Cambridge set it in front of its own students. 📜 In 1834 she joined the sciences together. Physics, chemistry, astronomy, light, tides and magnetism, in one book anyone could read. It sold and sold. And it broke open the English language. The Cambridge professor William Whewell sat down to review it, and no single word covered what she did. Man of science would not do. One had been floated, half in jest, at a science meeting the year before. His review of her book put it into print for the first time. 🔥 Scientist. The first person the word ever described in print was a Scotswoman with 1 year of school. A year on, she and Caroline Herschel became the Royal Astronomical Society's first women Honorary Members. 🏛️ Her pages on the wobble in Uranus's orbit helped point John Couch Adams at the hunt that found Neptune in 1846. She mentored a young Ada Lovelace and introduced her to Charles Babbage. In 1866 John Stuart Mill put her name first on his petition to Parliament for women's votes. Oxford named a college for her. And since 2017 her face has sat on the Royal Bank of Scotland's £10 note, printed beside a line from the book that needed a new word. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1 year of school. A puzzle in a magazine. And a word the whole world uses. Her word is still in your mouth. Stand a little taller when you say it. We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you with them. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

This lady lives on the Falkland Islands, she does penguin tours for a living. Since the Argentinian team showed that banner during the worldcup she has been making videos answering peoples questions. She says all the people that live there all want to stay British, they hate Argentina & she says they are bullies. They have absolutely nothing to do with them

Local spotted the illegal migrants from Crowborough Asylum Camp sitting around drinking alcohol in Lidl car park. This is what British taxpayers are paying for.

Ignore who's talking, ignore labels, listen without prejudice & compare what is said with what has happened & the state of the UK today.... 👀
