@ModernNavy @thetimes Plus voters. Defence has not been a salient issue at any general election since 1987. Even in 2024 there was little material difference in any of the party's platforms on defence.

December 2025 @thetimes op ed didn’t hold back The navy and its tiny collection of rusting or inactive hulls is testament to the penny-pinching short-termism of all parties, senior officer spinelessness and the enduring incompetence of MoD civil servants archive.is/2025.12.09-215…

Trump is cracking under the pressure. Ukraine is winning despite his love for Putin and Iran is humiliating the US in the Gulf Interview with the great @PhillipsPOBrien on how Trump is destroying a superpower substacktools.com/sharex/w_8FhBUi

Donald Trump is not simply stupid. His idiocy is a complex system of ignorance, narcissism, and xenophobia, wrapped in a web of insecurity and covered by a thick layer of self-loathing, afloat in a spiraling, ever-widening miasma of dumb.

This needs to be called out.

There’s no “accused” about it - a politician being handed £5m IS a conflict of interest. Accepting such a gift is an open and shut case of not being interested in, let alone fit for, public service ft.com/content/6a56c3…

Polanski now retweeting one of the most virulently antisemitic accounts in Ireland, a man who was literally invited to Tehran by the Iranian regime to join a propaganda junket.

The UK’s exit from the EU single market has been an economic disaster. Most estimates now show: 1. UK GDP is around 4–6% lower than it otherwise would have been 2. Business investment fell roughly 10–15% below trend 3. Trade volumes and manufacturing competitiveness weakened sharply He was one of the main architects of this project. The damage to British industry, growth and long-term competitiveness is a direct consequence of that political choice

Left: BBC News cover Nigel Farage condemning antisemitism in Golders Green Right: One of the 34 people who accused Nigel Farage of antisemitism and racism at school

🚨 NEW: Two Green Party candidates have been arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred for allegedly posting antisemitic comments online One of them posted a placard that read "ramming a synagogue isn’t anti-Semitism, it’s revenge"

All Reform does is lie, lie, and lie again. International students do not have access to student loans, despite paying far more than home students in tuition fees. They pay their own fees, pay visa fees, pay NHS surcharge, work restricted hours, and still get used as a political punching bag.

On the day two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, this woman was again outside Parliament. Wearing hideous Holocaust fancy dress. Antisemitism is there for us all to see - right outside the gates to our democracy.

Shouting the phrase 'Globalise the Intifada' in public or carrying it around on a placard should be treated as an illegal act anywhere in the UK under incitement to terrorism legislation.

I still can’t stop thinking about this -- what kind of demonic insanity so hostile to basic common sense and human moral principles must be demanded and enforced as “policy” for a SECOND (!!) U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in a single year (!!) to choose to resign and effectively end their diplomatic career rather than be associated with what Donald Trump is doing toward Ukraine.

On the 23rd May 2024, @Nigel_Farage said he wouldn’t stand as an MP. He said it “was not the right time” and l he wanted to focus on helping the campaign in the USA instead. 11 days and £5million later, he u-turned and announced he would stand. Corrupt to the core. Please share.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox In almost any other country he’d be shot dead, so a size 9 in the back of the head seems like minor inconvenience in comparison.

I would not be sad if the officers had kicked him harder. Can't wave a knife around if you're unconscious.

Remember when Gordon Brown gifted Obama an ornamental pen holder carved from the timbers of Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet, sister ship of the vessel the Resolute Desk was made from, and Obama gave Brown a DVD box set of American movies region-locked to U.S. DVD players?

Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would one day be reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.

Trump professes love for the UK, but no one has done more, generational, damage to the Anglo-American relationship. Insulting our troops; claiming London is an Islamist den; calling our PM a coward; and treating our High Court with contempt by refusing to comply with its orders.

@THE_FREE_COIN @RodDMartin You need to check out the 1981 Defence Review. If the Argies had waited a couple more years then Britain would have lost the kit to take them back under the cuts proposed by Sir John Nott.

@RodDMartin Margaret Tatcher was a women with balls, Keir Starmer is a man without balls

In 1982, Margaret Thatcher heroically sent 127 ships to take back the Falklands. In 2026, Keir Starmer, whose navy has more admirals than warships, was unable to successfully send even one destroyer to defend the RAF base on Cyprus. Incredible.

If you look at the agendas that are being pushed in waves by the fake bot armies on Twitter, who do you think is behind it? - Make US Americans and Europeans hate each other - The USA should leave NATO - The EU must be dismantled - Orban is a hero - Ukraine is evil. Russia is our friend It is so obvious. And by the way, this is exactly why the EU has fined Twitter for lack of transparency. To protect free speech, we must protect the public debat from fake bots that are used actively by the enemies of the free world to divide and weaken it.
