Nigel Briggs - ECHR is NOT FOR SALE

Just to reassure you.@pastormarkburns The whole world sees this statue. You should open your eyes. "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite" William Blake, English visionary. What you need, Mark, is to get some cleanser...

What is more interesting here is that the right wing media pretend not to understand what is happening in the country after fanning the flames for years.

There's a lot of talk about angry MPs, but on this platform there are tons of angry and very frustrated Labour members who support @Keir_Starmer. We haven't bought into any of the frenzied circus that the media has become, and we all loudly condemn the opportunists, plotters and schemers who could destroy the Labour Party. I think we're representative of a larger number of people who don't use the platform but know how to use their minds. I'm grateful to all the MP's who back Keir Starmer no matter what and who are making their presence felt here. #IStandWithStarmer

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? MIN: All energy. 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. BURGUM: But only when the wind is blowing and sun is shining MIN: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year -- less than 10% of China. You're clear bias against renewables is harming our national security.

The wheels turn slowly but at least they are turning. Best wishes to @FranceskAlbs and her family. Keep speaking truth to power and standing up for human rights.

Keep Gruev at all costs. He's been injured and sidelined a bit of late but has massive potential.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Keir Starmer has told MPs that he will not resign or have a long drawn out leadership contest, describing it as the most irresponsible thing he could do" David Yelland, "The media has become an anger factory and I suspect that has been created by people who are not friendly to this country" @davidyelland 👏 "We're all angry, and the media feeds the anger" "Something fundamental has changed in the system and we need a national conversation on that" Theo Bertram, "Populism, like content creators on social media thrives on polarisation, that's how you get clicks, get attention"

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Wonderful news !!

To anyone considering a leadership challenge I say - put the country first, not your own interests or those you might claim are the interests of the party. Keir Starmer has a massive democratic mandate from the public, nobody has the right to seek to depose him, nobody. Not Wes, not Ed, not Andy, not Angie. Yes Keir is unpopular in the polls, that’s current public sentiment - it’s not a mandate for getting rid of him. Opinion polls are snapshots of opinions. Local election results are always an opportunity to register a protest. Labour has a job to do, we’re not even two years in yet, things are tough - a leadership challenge would be self indulgent and illogical - in my view.

The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage 1. His word is not his bond. 2. He does not write emails - no paper trail. 3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about. 4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable. 5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much. 6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring. 7. Nigel has spies. 8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water. 9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George. 10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper. 11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes. 12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people. 13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people. 14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money. @RupertLowe10

It’s the economy stupid. There is one obvious way to take down Reform. Have a second referendum on EU membership, ten years after the last vote which was manipulated by malign actors. We have seen four or five PMs fall from the huge economic decline as a result of Brexit.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered? Noem: I don’t know. Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

This what we’re up against: AI videos being made in Sri Lanka, shared here in Britain to stoke fear and division. The next time someone tells you something MUST be true because they’ve seen it on Facebook…send them this video.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

In the autumn of 1942, a slight, 32-year-old Polish social worker named Irena Sendler passed through the gates of the Warsaw Ghetto with a carpenter’s toolbox in her arms. Beneath the hammers and nails lay a drugged six-month-old infant, breathing softly, utterly silent. One cry would have meant instant death for both of them. Irena smiled at the guards; they waved her through. They never suspected that this quiet woman would repeat the journey 2,499 more times. The ghetto was a slow-motion extermination. Starvation, disease, and random murder stalked every street. Jewish parents faced a choice no human being should ever have to make: keep their child and watch them waste away, or hand them to a stranger who promised a chance—however thin—at life. Irena came officially to inspect for typhus. In reality, she came to steal children from death. Babies left in toolboxes or ambulances under false bottoms. Toddlers sedated and tucked into potato sacks. Older children led by the hand through the stinking, lightless sewers while German boots marched overhead. “Not a sound,” she whispered as rats scurried past their feet. She knew that the rescued children would be given new names, new religions, new families. Their pasts would vanish unless someone remembered. So, on fragile scraps of tissue paper, Irena wrote each child’s real name, their parents’ names, and their new hiding place. She rolled the papers tight, slipped them into glass jars, and buried them beneath an apple tree in a neighbor’s garden. If she were caught and killed, the truth might still survive. She was caught. On October 20, 1943, the Gestapo kicked in her door. They took her to Pawiak Prison and demanded the list. When she refused, they smashed both her legs with iron bars. Then her feet. Then her arms. For weeks the beatings continued. She never spoke. They scheduled her execution. On the appointed morning, guards dragged the broken woman from her cell. Instead of a firing squad, she found herself outside the prison walls—alive. The Polish underground council Żegota had bribed a guard to mark her file “shot while trying to escape.” Officially dead, Irena Sendler limped back into the shadows to keep working.When the war finally ended, the first thing she did was dig up the jars under the apple tree. She spent years trying to return the children—now scattered across convents, farms, and foster homes—to whatever family might remain. Almost no parents had survived. But the children had. Because of her, 2,500 Jewish boys and girls lived to grow up, to marry, to have children and grandchildren of their own—an entire secret branch of the human family tree that the Nazis never managed to cut down.For decades her story stayed buried deeper than the jars themselves. Then, in 1999, four high-school girls in rural Kansas stumbled across a brief mention of her name. They found the old woman still living quietly in Warsaw and brought her courage back into the light. Journalists called her the greatest rescuer of the Holocaust. Irena only shook her head.“I could have saved more,” she said. “That regret follows me to the grave.”Irena Sendler—armed with nothing but a ghetto work permit, a toolbox, and a refusal to look away—proved that even in the heart of the worst evil humanity has ever devised, one determined person can still keep the darkness from winning completely.

I was on a train from Warsaw to Krakow. We were given free bottles of water as part of the ticket and when the train briefly stopped for about 2 minutes it was announced that this was a scheduled stop and full explanations given. Oh, and the seat was very comfortable...

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people. Follow the money, always follow the money.
