BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

No, Nick Timothy is not “brave”. He was literally Theresa May’s Chief of Staff, the driving force behind Mayism and its “burning injustices” agenda.  He is an architect of what you saw in Trafalgar Square. He launched the Race Disparity Audit – a massive government trawl of ethnicity data across schools, NHS, prisons, jobs and housing to unearth any disparity of outcome and claim it was evidence of institutional discrimination. He personally oversaw the 2017 Tory Manifesto, the wokest of all: Forcing civil service diversity targets, an obsession with tackling “hate crime” including transgender identity. It was this rampant wokery that laid the foundations for Labour’s Islamophobia definition. All while talking about building a “Great Meritocracy”, obsessed with group disparities. He promised to cut net immigration to the tens of thousands.  Instead he supercharged immigration and net immigration has been over *3 million* since. Now he wants to be celebrated for pointing to the fires he started. Make no mistake, what you saw in Trafalgar Square would not have been possible were it not for Nick Timothy. He is a classic Tory.  Tweets in the direction of where the wind blows. Set the country ablaze when in power, then lie when kicked out. He is an arsonist firefighter and belongs in the dustbin of history, along with the rest of the Tory Party.

Goodwin has some nerve to lecture us about being "detached from political reality" when this is what he was doing last month. If this is your idea of a serious, credible politics appropriate for the existential crisis Britain finds itself in, I'm glad you don't approve of us. And listen to the line of attack - it's not that we're wrong, but that we are "wrecking our political careers" and "losing all relevance" by speaking frankly about the measures necessary to save our country while refusing to take part in the all-singing, all-dancing Nigel Farage Show. Here's the difference between Reform and Restore: We aren't interested in making peace with the political establishment for the sake of our "careers". We don't measure our success by our "relevance" in Westminster drinking circles. We won’t talk endlessly about Britain’s problems - and make good money doing so - only to call our supporters racist when they suggest solutions. We are offering the British people the opportunity to save Britain democratically. Whether they want it is up to them, but we're not going to lie to them about what's at stake for the sake of votes. The British people are not stupid. They do not need to be spoken to like children. And they are tired of Westminster types like you doing exactly that.

This is absolutely insane: At 7:04 AM ET today, President Trump said “the US and Iran have had productive discussions" to end the Iran War. By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 surged +240 points adding +$2 TRILLION in market cap. 27 minutes later, Iran completely denied all of President Trump's claims and said there has been "no contact" with the US. By 8:00 AM ET. the S&P 500 had fallen -120 points erasing -$1 trillion in market cap. That's a $3 TRILLION swing market cap in 56 minutes, just in the S&P 500. What is happening here?

The Jewish people are without question the most integrated minority in the UK and British culture, with immense contributions to the country. Even saying “integrated” does not feel right, as many have ancestry going back decades and have married into families across all walks of British life. Many Jews, or those of Jewish ancestry, see themselves as English, Scottish, Welsh, or simply British above all else. Most of the time, you would have no idea you are in the presence of a Jewish person unless they tell you, or, of course, unless they are openly Orthodox. The point I'm making here is that to hear that Jewish people do not see a future for themselves in the UK should feel deeply disturbing and unnerving. A people who, as I said, are often simply recognised as, say, English, no longer see a future here because, for the most part, a barbaric and backward ideology is trying to drive them out. Well, no, not just drive them out but kill them.. The quote “first they come for the Saturday people and then for the Sunday people” could not ring truer than it does today.

This is not the Middle East. This is right here in Britain. Four Jewish community ambulances, which save Jewish and non-Jewish lives and help relieve pressure on our strained public services, were destroyed in these explosions overnight. There are suggestions that the ambulances, which are parked outside a synagogue, were intended to be the kindling for an even more devastating incident. An Iranian-aligned group has claimed responsibility for this attack, as it has for other attacks in Europe, but this is not currently confirmed. What is clear is that there are forces in this country that have been intent on importing a foreign conflict to these shores. They have been doing so for two and a half years, and the authorities have utterly failed to recognise what is happening right before their eyes. These are not isolated incidents but an ideological attack on Western values driven by domestic extremist advocacy groups and religious charities, supported by foolish unions, fuelled by social media, excused by media outlets, ignored by regulators and pandered to by politicians. We are witnessing a profound failure of the British state.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Multiple Hatzolah ambulances have erupted in flames in London's Golders Green neighborhood. There is no immediate word on the cause, but antisemitic arson is the immediate suspicion.

Five years ago today, a teacher from Batley Grammar showed a class a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. Within days, a hundred Islamists were protesting outside the school gates. Outrageously, the teacher was suspended. The headteacher, Gary Kibble, apologised ‘unequivocally’. It was an astonishing act of appeasement and cowardice. The teacher was then subjected to a campaign of abuse and intimidation, including incitement to violence against him and his family. His kids had to miss school for months. They slept on mattresses in temporary accommodation. An independent probe later cleared him of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Another report likewise found that the school, council and police all ‘totally and utterly failed’ him. Too late - his life was changed forever. Have lessons been learnt from this shameful episode? I fear exactly the same thing would happen today. In fact ‘advice’ has recently been reissued by Labour councils including the one covering Batley, that children’s drawings in art lessons may be seen as ‘idolatrous’ under sharia law. Teachers are even warned that dance lessons could cause parental concerns over ‘physical contact between males and females’. Extremism is being mainstreamed. A climate of threatening and intimidatory harassment is poisoning our institutions. It's antithetical to our democratic way of life. Most of our governing class are simply too spineless to take on Islamists. Look at when I highlighted the chronic failure of integration in parts of Birmingham. I was denounced. And then proven right by West Midlands Police’s admission that violent Islamists living couldn’t be prevented from attacking Jewish football fans. The Police lied and blamed the visiting supporters in an effort to pretend they still had authority in the city. And now look at the reaction of the Prime Minister and much of the media to criticisms of a segregated Iftar in Trafalgar Square. They branded critics racist too. This was despite the Prime Minister himself pulling out of an Iftar in 2021 organised by the very same man, Omar Salha, who arranged this one, apparently because of his Islamist links. We’ve been led by weak hypocrites, who cover up, rather than confront what’s happening. The country is sliding down a dark path as a result. But innocent men and women like the Batley teacher are the greatest victims of extremism, and too many seem intent to forget them. We must defend them and stand up for all those who speak out.

UK Free Speech Act draft nearly done. Weekend was spent redesigning the English public order and communications offences regimes. We are basically taking the Public Order Act regime back to 1985 and adding free speech protections.
