@Jamie_Blackett Jamie, shooting (killing) is not a "wholesome pursuit" .... The natural world in Britain would be much better off without it, unlike fox-hunting, which is illegal... telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/1…

This has been going on for a long time

Leftist-Islamist coalition closes in on Timothy Nick Timothy said that mass ritual prayer in a shared civic space is an act of domination. He was not suggesting every Muslim at Trafalgar Square is an Islamist. He was identifying a strategy. Within twenty four hours, thirty six Labour MPs and peers had written to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards demanding he be investigated. The letter, signed by Afzal Khan MP and backed by Naz Shah, Apsana Begum, Imran Hussain, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Zarah Sultana among others, accuses Timothy of Islamophobia, invokes the Great Replacement theory, and demands his removal from the front bench. Read that list of names carefully. Naz Shah was suspended from Labour in 2016 for sharing antisemitic social media posts. Rebecca Long-Bailey was removed from the shadow cabinet for sharing an article containing antisemitic conspiracy theories. Afzal Khan was himself the subject of a Campaign Against Antisemitism complaint. And Zarah Sultana, who co-signed a letter accusing Timothy of spreading hostility and hatred, is herself the subject of a complaint to the same Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for posting that Zionism is one of the greatest threats to humanity and that Israelis love killing kids. The complaint describes her language as a modern iteration of the medieval blood libel. The commissioner has not yet decided whether to investigate. That is the Leftist-Islamist coalition that has mobilised to silence Nick Timothy. A group of MPs, several with documented histories of antisemitic language or associations, using the parliamentary standards machinery to shut down a man who pointed out that declaring there is no god but Allah in the middle of Trafalgar Square is not equivalent to lighting a Chanukah menorah. The letter does not answer Timothy's theological point. It does not explain why the Adhan, which is by definition a declaration of exclusive religious truth, is equivalent to a celebration. It simply asserts that raising the question is Islamophobia and demands investigation. That is not a rebuttal. That is a demonstration of exactly what Timothy was describing. The domination of public discourse by a coalition that treats any scrutiny of Islamist strategy as racism, any observation about religious assertion in shared spaces as hatred, and any politician who names what is happening as a legitimate target for destruction. The grievance shield, deployed on cue. At parliamentary level. In a formal letter. With thirty six signatories. Meanwhile the teacher remains in hiding in Batley. The IHRC leads death chants on the Embankment. Iranian linked charities operate under Gift Aid while the Charity Commission files cases as resolved. And the parliamentary machinery is being used not to hold any of that to account but to investigate the man who said out loud what the evidence plainly shows. Nick Timothy was right. The letter proves it. And every MP who signed it has told us, more clearly than any opinion piece could, exactly whose side they are on. "Naz Shah was suspended from Labour in 2016 for sharing antisemitic social media posts. [...]. Afzal Khan was himself the subject of a Campaign Against Antisemitism complaint."

Conservatives are on the side of hard working people. On the side of people who contribute to making our country great. On the side of people who want to get on. The Conservative party are on your side. So on May 7th, vote Conservative and get Britain working again.

A Society based on MERIT ! @Conservatives Vision

🌏 Once abundant, Regent honeyeaters are on the edge of extinction—only about 250 remain. As their woodland was cleared, their songs fell silent. Those born in zoos only sang other bird species' songs. Recordings were played from dawn to dusk to teach them their own songs—without success. So wild ones were deployed as vocal coaches, and the students have learned the songs well enough to teach others. Their own songs are critical to reproduction in the wild. This is meant to be a positive story, but it left me filled with sadness of how much we are destroying, and the precious little we save. Article, video and research in 🧵

The strait carries oil. It carries gas. It carries fertiliser. It also carries the salaries of nearly 40 million foreign workers whose families on the other side of the world eat from the remittance, not the farm. Migrant workers make up between 76 and 95 percent of the labour force in Gulf countries. In the UAE and Qatar, foreigners represent roughly 87 to 88 percent of the population. In Kuwait, 70 percent. The construction sites, the hotels, the refineries, the hospitals, the delivery fleets, and the domestic households of the Gulf are staffed almost entirely by people from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Africa who wire money home every month. Pakistan received $38.3 billion in remittances in FY2025. Over 54 percent, roughly $20.9 billion, came from the six GCC countries. Saudi Arabia alone accounted for $9.35 billion. The UAE contributed $7.83 billion. India received approximately $129 billion in 2024, the world’s largest recipient. The Philippines received $39.6 billion. Bangladesh recorded $30.3 billion. Nepal’s remittances were 26 percent of GDP. The Hormuz crisis is not just disrupting commodity flows. It is disrupting the human flow that funds survival in a dozen countries. A study by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics estimates that if the conflict persists, roughly 500,000 new workers may not be able to migrate to the Gulf in 2026, and a similar number of existing migrants could be forced to return home. Remittances to Pakistan could decline by $3 to $4 billion annually. That reduction alone would pressure the exchange rate, widen the current account deficit, and weaken the economic stability that was just beginning to solidify after years of crisis. The mechanism is direct. Gulf economies slow when oil exports are disrupted, construction projects are paused, and security concerns halt civilian activity. When the Gulf economy slows, the sectors that employ the most migrant workers, construction, services, retail, and hospitality, contract first. Workers are laid off or see hours reduced. Remittances fall. Their families in Lahore, Dhaka, Manila, Cairo, and Kathmandu receive less money. Those families buy less food. The food was already becoming more expensive because the fertiliser that grows it and the freight that ships it both transit the same strait that disrupted the salary. The remittance and the molecule travel the same corridor. Both are gated by the same 21 miles. When the strait closes, the oil stops, the gas stops, the fertiliser stops, and the monthly wire transfer that a construction worker in Dubai sends to his mother in Sylhet also stops. The mother does not track Brent crude or CBOT urea. She tracks whether the money arrived. This month it may not. During the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, roughly 1.5 million workers and dependents fled within two months. The International Labour Organization documented the passage of hundreds of thousands through Jordan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The entire remittance system took years to reorganise. Nepal’s airport has already seen stranded travellers unable to reach Gulf jobs since February 28. Fifteen million people in the Gulf earn the money. One hundred million people in South and Southeast Asia depend on it arriving. The strait does not distinguish between a barrel of oil and a bank transfer. Both flow through the same geography. Both are gated by the same sealed orders. And both determine whether a family eats this month. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
