This is Walker Smith. After dedicating 17 years to Waitrose, he was recently dismissed. The reason? For attempting to stop a shoplifter nicking Easter eggs. Yes you read that right. He should be applauded, not sacked. Shameful @waitrose. Re-employ Walker Smith!

Reminder: Lucy Connolly, a childminder and mother, got 31 months for 1 bad tweet and was denied bail. This vile paedo police officer got 16 months suspended. Justice?

Look at how differently the police handled young football fans yesterday in comparison to the young looters in Clapham. They remembered how to use the batons again!

This week the National Education Union has vowed to stop a Reform government- by urging its 500,000 teacher members to campaign against Reform in the classroom. This is not education. It’s indoctrination. And it’s against the law.

Summing up the British approach to Iran here: 1) US asks to use British bases, we say no. 2) Tell everyone we weren't involved and hope they leave us alone. 3) oh dear, they didn't leave us alone. They're shooting missiles at us. 4) claim that the only way to stop this and protect British citizens is to destroy the missiles at source. 5) allow the Americans to use our bases to destroy the missiles at source. 6) refuse to help destroy the missiles at source, even though we just said destroying them at source is the only way to end the threat to British citizens. 7) tell everyone we're not involved and hope they'll leave us alone. - @PlatoonPod

Our electoral system needs reform, we must scrap postal voting unless absolutely necessary, and we must enforce the right to a secret ballot. If nothing changes, I fear for the future of British democracy. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026/0…

Going to school aged 5 in 1963 we were all toilet trained, could use cutlery, pens, knew the alphabet, could read Janet and John books, could tell the time, tie our shoelaces and ties, button up our coats and knew our own address. And between then and now somehow it all went wrong. But why?

Arrive in Dover illegally by small boat and you’re allowed to stay indefinitely, but if you’re a British passport holder who travels by boat to a British territory, you could be threatened with three years in prison. What a sick country!

Keir Starmer is now trying to evict the Chagossians who have resettled on their homeland. First Minister Misley was served an eviction notice this morning. It should be rescinded. The Chagossian people deserve their right to self-determination.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Electoral watchdog boss warns Keir Starmer that Council elections MUST go ahead in May despite government's delays The Electoral Commission's Vijay Rangarajan slammed the decision to let 63 authorities postpone polls, insisting "capacity constraints" like cost are not sufficient reason and create a conflict of interest for councillors avoiding voters. Millions could be denied a say as some representatives serve seven years without re-election amid local reorganisation. Nigel Farage branded Labour "dictators" over the move, with Reform plotting a High Court challenge. Protesting councillors have resigned and some voters are withholding council tax in fury.

Have you seen 'Life of Brian' ? We did not 'mock Christ' We mocked the way some followers of great spiritual figures completely miss the point of their teachings Having made that clear, I would simply like to say 'thank you' for sharing your confusion with us
Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_

So you want to mock Islam the way you mocked Christ. Well, you can't, John. You can't always get what you want. You still, to this day, do not understand. You were not allowed to mock Christ because of what the law said. You were allowed to mock Christ because Christianity permits this. Islam does not permit you to mock Muhammad or Allah. If you do, Muslims will kill you. And it doesn't matter if the law says you can, because they will not follow the law. They will follow Islam. Your society cannot simultaneous have Muslims and freedom of speech. These two things are fundamentally incompatible. You can either have freedom of speech because you have no Muslims, or no freedom of speech because you have Muslims. When are you going to realize that "Life of Brian" couldn't be made today, and that it couldn't made today partially because of the cultural influence of people like you? When are going to realize that you spent your entire career deconstructing the very things that allowed you to have a career at all? We, the younger generations of Western Civilization, are in an existential crisis that you had a hand in. And we realize that you are starting to wake up, that empirical knowledge is starting to permeate through your thick boomer skull. But there are so many preconceptions in there that we simply don't have time for the process to complete. Which means that we are going to have to simply ignore you, shut you out of the conversation, and let you catch up, if you ever do, after we have already moved on ahead. That's a sad moment for me, because you made me laugh as a child. Rather a lot. But I have come to realize that the ability to spot and lampoon the ridiculous does not necessarily translate to the ability to understand Chesterton's Fence.

Guido Fawkes@GuidoFawkes·
The government is trying to get ahead of the Mandelson story before it engulfs Team Starmer. No doubt thanks to the traumatic events of last time... Labour has arranged for 'Chief Secretary to the PM' Darren Jones to provide a ministerial statement in the Commons after Starmer's China trip update. This is for two reasons: 1) so Starmer doesn't have to answer questions on Mandelson in the Commons during his own statement and 2) to try to push the onus around Mandelson's peerage onto the House of Lords... Starmer's team is arguing that they can't strip Mandelson of his peerage (they can) and that arcane Lords reforms should be pursued to the same end. This is not true - Starmer need only pursue primary legislation and ask his MPs to vote to remove Peter Mandelson from the Lords, which he does not want to do...
