This might be one of the worst days in history for the EU Bureaucrats: - Mass deportation proposal passed - Chat surveillance proposal rejected - All tariffs on US goods dropped The centrists have begun voting en masse with the nationalists… This has never been seen before.

I kid you not. Defence Secretary John Healey *DOESN'T KNOW* how many frigates and destroyers the UK has at its disposal. I have never seen anything like it. This interview should IMMEDIATELY end John Healey's political career. Terrifying. Absolute car crash.

🚨DERANGED: RAF Illegally BLOCKED 160+ White Male Pilots to Boost Diversity — MoD Confirms “This is one of the craziest decisions ever made by any branch of the British state ever!” The RAF literally paused hiring white men, preferring to recruit NO ONE over a qualified white male pilot, all to hit woke diversity quotas for women & ethnic minorities. A senior female recruitment officer resigned in protest, calling it illegal & immoral. MoD inquiry confirmed: it WAS unlawful positive discrimination. Over 160 male pilots had training suspended. 31 got compensation. This is deranged. Putting ideology before competence doesn’t make our military stronger, it puts national security at risk.

British nicknames are an unregulated industry. a 5'6 tradesman called Anthony is professionally known as Shetland Tony. a man who lost an eye is called Keth. a quiet man wore a yellow jumper once and became Mumblebee. what's the best nickname you've ever heard

This is SUPERB from @colmflynnire‼️ He asks the presenters of Belgium’s publicly-funded @stubru if they'd publicly desecrate Islamic artefacts. It comes after they smashed Christian statues live on-air. They all become unstuck in real time...

UN Watch@UNWatch·
🔥 BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch: Mr. Chair, I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land. Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs. So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home? Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity. There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived. I don't believe in miracles, but this is one. So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel? Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace. Thank you.

London house prices fell for the sixth consecutive month and at the fastest pace in nearly two years. Rising unemployment, higher interest rates, the new Mansion & higher 2nd home taxes, Rental reform & bleak economic outlook. ft.com/content/0ae454…

In 2021, the same Speaker did tell Boris Johnson twice during #PMQs, to answer questions. So he can do something about it.
Chris Rose@ArchRose90

After #PMQs Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh MP raised a Point of Order on Keir Starmer dodging EVERY question EVERY week. The Speaker says that he cannot do anything about it. It has become utterly points to watch. I don’t blame the Reform MPs for walking out. It’s so pointless now.

The UK Met Office said February 2026 was Worcestershire's wettest February since 1836. But the station data does not support that. Local gauges, when combined, registered a little over 130 mm (or 5.2 in) - not even close to a record. Moreover, those local stations only go back to 1952 and 1976 - none reach anywhere near 1836. That 1836 claim comes from a reconstructed regional data set. In other words, station readings are being usurped by a model-derived estimate - not like-for-like data. The media dutifully picked up on the report, linking the rains to human CO2 emissions. But looking nationally, while February in the UK was wet, it was far from exceptional. According to the records, a total of 25 Februarys have been wetter across the country.

This is completely falling apart for the Government now.
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford

BREAKING Morgan McSweeney did not tell the Metropolitan Police who he was or where he worked when he called 999 after his phone was stolen The Metropolitan Police has released a transcript of the call and said that it was not aware 'of the victims employment or the particular security risks associated with his device or material on it The call took place on 20 October, 2025 at 22.30. McSweeney stated that it was a government phone Here is the verbatim transcript of the call in full: Call handler: Police, what's your emergency? Caller: Oh, hello, someone just robbed my phone. Call handler: Did they actually take it from you just now? Caller: Yeah Call handler: How did they get away? Caller: So he's on a bike. He's come onto the pavement to grab my phone and cycled off on a bike. Call handler: And where did this happen? Caller: It happened in Belgrave Street* in Westminster. *We now know that the incident took place in Belgrave Road, Westminster. The call handler inputs Belgrave Street and it provides a matching road name in Tower Hamlets, which is what is recorded in error. There are further references to locations near to Belgrave Street in Tower Hamlets later in the call, which compounds the issue. Call handler: And whose phone are you using now? Caller: I've got two phones. I'm using my personal one. That was my work one. Call handler: Can I take the phone number for this phone you're calling on? Caller: Yeah, 07XXXXXXXXX. Call handler: Thank you. And you said Belgrave Street, yeah? Caller: Yeah, just kind of going back to the location. Call handler: Don't put yourself at any risk. It's not worth it over a phone. I appreciate it’s frustrating. Call handler: And which way did they go towards, this suspect on a bike? Caller: He went. He travels north. I saw him for a few blocks. Call handler: So where were you when you last saw him? Have you got any idea? Caller: Yeah, so. Call handler: Did you get up to Stepney? Caller: Let me tell you where I got to. I'm just going back to where I can. Caller: So he turned right. Sorry, he turned left. There's a park on top of the road and he turned left there. Call handler: Stepney Green Park, ok. Caller: Yeah. He turned left there. Call handler: Can you remember anything about his appearance? Caller: Yeah, he was young. He was a black guy. He was on a bike. Call handler: About how young? Call handler: Just a guess. Caller: Teens. Late teens. Call handler: Was he skinny, tall, any idea? Caller: Yeah. He was slim. He was about average height. Call handler: Was it an e bike or pedal bike? Caller: Pedal bike. Call handler: Have you got a tracker on the phone at all? Caller: I do. It’s a government phone. Call handler: And it's your work phone. What kind of phone is it? Caller: It’s an iPhone. Call handler: Do you know what model? Caller: I don't. [PAUSE] Call handler: Right, just bear with me a second. Call handler: We would normally deploy to see you but at the moment, we are having extreme demand on police officers. So, I don't know if you would prefer to make your way home and make a crime report over the phone or online tomorrow. I mean, I can complete one with you now. I can pass this down, you can wait, but I honestly do not know how long you'll be waiting, Caller: If I could complete it now that would be good. Call handler: Ok. Call handler: What's your name, please? Caller: My name is XXXXXXXXXX. Call handler: XXXXXXXXXX? (repeats name back) Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And your date of birth, please? Caller: It's XXXXXX Call handler: Is XXXXXXXXX (surname) all one word? Caller: Yeah, (spells surname). Call handler: And what's your home address? Caller: (Provides non-London address) Call handler: So you live in XXXXXX? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Are you staying anywhere while you're in London? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Sorry, it just takes a little bit longer to deal with an address outside of the Met. I do apologise. Caller: It’s ok. Call handler: And may I take an email for you please (name)? Caller: Yeah, it's XXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXX.com (personal email address) Call handler: You'll get a copy of the preliminary crime report through to that email. Call handler: How would you like to be contacted by an investigating officer? By email or phone? Caller: Phone, please. Or either, I’m not fussed. Call handler: Have you got any finance apps on the phone? Caller: No. Call handler: You'll need to change any passwords for any logins you do have on the phone. Caller: Yeah, okay. Call handler: You're not vulnerable in any way. Are you? Caller: No I’m not. Call handler: Do you believe there was any CCTV near where the incident happened? Caller: Might be. [Inaudible] away from location. Call handler: Don't worry. Don't return. No, I'll just put at the moment unknown. And obviously, if we find out more, we find out more. Call handler: Are you willing to make a statement to support the investigation? Caller: Definitely. Call handler: So what time did he actually snatch the phone? Caller: About two minutes before I rung you and I chased, and then I rang my office to get the phone tracked and then I rang you. Call handler: Okay, cool. It would have been about 25 past that you were robbed. Caller: A little before, about 23 minutes past, I think. Call handler: 23? Little bit before? Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: Just bear with me, I’m just trying to get this system to accept the address. Sorry about this. I won't keep you much longer. Call handler: If you do get any tracking updates, what you do is you give us call back if the phone is stationary. Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And we can review attending then. We can't guarantee attending a moving phone at all, but if it's been stationary for a few… Call handler: It’s not accepting your address. Caller: I can give you my London address? Call handler: It’s alright. I've nearly got this to work. Caller: Okay Call handler: How long you staying in London? Caller: So I come to London every week. I work in London. Call handler: Oh, I see. Okay, that makes sense. Caller: So I'll be here till Thursday. Call handler: Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: As I was trying to say, I've got this sorted now, so I'll be texting you a crime reference number in the next few moments. Along with the crime reference number will be a CHS reference number. If you need to give us a call back, you can call back giving that reference number from any device, and then we'll be able to link it straight away to your crime report and review deploying. We will need to know a bit more details about the phone itself, so when you're contacted by the investigating officer, or if you do get tracking details, you can call us back with the IMEI number, and the type of phone that it is that would be super helpful. Caller: All right, thank you. Call handler: All right, I’m just about to text you through the crime reference number now. Caller: Thank you so much. You’ve been really helpful. Call handler: No worries. All right, (name). You take care now, okay? Bye. Caller: Bye bye.

Denmark is investing $83,754,486 in textbooks and turning away from its digital-first approach to education. This follows research showing that screens reduce concentration, impact mental health, and hurt student performance. Yet another dynamic to the EdTech debate.
