Over Duxford in a Spitfire with a Messerschmitt (Buchon) after mock combat. Thanks to pilots Brian & Steve & Aerial Collective followed by a visit to brilliant IWM Duxford .@ACDuxford @IWMDuxford

@QcWynter @jlmitch2004 Another absurd loo problem is the removal of mens urinals replaced by joint unisex cubicles. Has anyone done time & motion. Women who always had long queues are now joined by men so their wait time increases & of course mens is infinitely longer than before. No one wins

This is the point that needs now loudly to be made. Women were told, "use a lockable cubicle if you wish to avoid the blokes". Now that men are once again required to use the men's, trans-claiming men should be told "use a lockable cubicle if you wish to avoid the blokes". Karma.

@Helen_Whately @KavsKc1 The question is why did you not do it before when in Government? @VeteransReform @DrChrisParry

Polygamy is illegal in the UK. But if you’ve married 4 wives overseas and moved here, you could claim up to £78,000 in benefits. Paid for by British taxpayers. That is absurd. Conservatives will end this.

Ireland is an antisemitic nation that seeks to boycott Jewish goods. And no - it is not about human rights. China one of the world's worst abusers of human rights is one of Ireland's largest trading partners - with no move to boycott them. So Ireland is antisemitic. Pass it on

Do not put up with this… say no loudly & openly. Protect the next generation, if we don’t it will continue to get worse for our girls. Gents too. These are your daughters being ignored. The law is on our side. Made very clear last year & last week. Males out of female spaces.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the crew of the @ScotAirAmb last night for flying out to Arran to collect my dad after he suffered a stroke yesterday. They safely got him across the water to the mainland. A long day for this crew no doubt, yet they came for him. I hope this tweet makes it back to them. As a fellow helicopter crew gal, I hope you know how much what you do matters to people. 🙏🫶 dad is talking now, but a long road ahead 😔😢

@cjsnowdon @mattwridley It's created a Micro climate & the acres of concrete, buildings, fuel exhaust, lack of trees are not going to make it an oasis @metoffice @NetZeroWatch @latimeralder @PeterDClack @KathrynPorter26

Another heat record for Heathrow, but you have the wonder why we built an airport in the hottest part of the country.

SHE DROVE GAZA'S CHILDREN TO THE HOSPITAL; GAZANS MURDERED HER "Lilach Kipnis from Kibbutz Be’eri was murdered in her home on the morning of October 7. The terrorists who invaded the kibbutz killed her and her husband, Evyatar Kipnis, and the home where they had lived and built a lifetime of memories was set on fire. For many long weeks, she was believed to have been taken hostage, and her family endured days of uncertainty and anguish until the devastating news arrived that she had been killed on the day of the massacre. Lilach, 60, was an extraordinary clinical psychologist and social worker who dedicated her life to helping children and adults from the Gaza border communities cope with anxiety and trauma. She was a peace activist who volunteered with the organization Road to Recovery, driving Palestinian patients from Gaza to hospitals in Israel. She was a person of deep compassion, generosity, and love for humanity, whose life was cut short by cruelty. The chilling gap between the kindness that defined her life’s work and the way she met her death is a pain that is difficult to comprehend." May her memory be a blessing. 💔

@Kshi_nippon @pollsstar This used to happen in the #UK but has gone, as a fairly homogeneous & disciplined society that endured two Word Wars, has been changed but not for the better! @theRSAorg

One thing many foreigners notice in Japan 🇯🇵 People usually line up quietly and wait their turn. At train stations. At restaurants. Even at crowded events. No pushing. No yelling. No chaos. For Japanese people, this is just normal behavior. Could this happen in your country?

With large numbers of people reported as having to cope with multiple jobs, anyone remember Michael Portillo in 2003 taking on the life of a single mum with two jobs. That was really hard @BBCNews news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme…

This was reported years ago, yet still sports went ahead & discriminated against their female athletes! I’m utterly ashamed how our NGBs disrespected them. People who know full well the difference between male/female performance in sport

@RobertClark87 @DominicFarrell @BritishArmy @DefenceHQ In 1960's I was part of the Army that with the ending of National Service drew down from 300k to 150k. However we still had commitments in BAOR, Cyprus, Malaysia, HK, Aden et al. It was real overstretch but we coped @militaryhistori

Polite reminder that the @BritishArmy had circa 110,000 soldiers in 2010 & could barely sustain a Brigade in Afghanistan. To suggest that the UK could do so now in Ukraine with less than half that number (53k deployable troops) demonstrates the fantasy land @DefenceHQ inhabit.

Just saying … Britain hit 32.8°C in May back in BOTH 1922 and 1944. This was long before SUVs, budget airlines and air fryers. Hysteria from the media is not fact ..it’s narrative and fear porn. As you were!

June 16, 2024. Texas. A 12-year-old girl is alive in the morning. By the next morning, she is dead in a creek. A woman on her way to work finds her. Under a bridge. Her hands tied. Her feet tied. She had been strangled. She was twelve. Two men had taken her under that bridge. Both were grown men. Both were from another country. And here is the part this country could not forgive. Neither one of them was supposed to be here. One crossed the border illegally. Border Patrol caught him. Released him the same day. The other crossed the border illegally. Border Patrol caught him too. Released him too. Caught. And released. Caught. And released. It gets worse. One of the two men was wearing a government ankle monitor the night she died. A GPS tracker. On his leg. The government could see exactly where he was. And a 12-year-old girl died anyway. After she was killed, the court set their bond. Ten million dollars. Each. Ten. Million. Dollars. That is the number the system reached for after she was already gone. Not before. After. Her mother could have disappeared into her grief. No one on earth would have blamed her. Instead she walked into the United States Congress and sat down in front of lawmakers. A mother. Testifying about her murdered daughter. So that the next little girl might live. They wrote a bill. It would force the government to actually hold people instead of releasing them with a tracker and a court date. It was introduced in 2024. It died. It was introduced again in 2025. It is still sitting in committee. It has not passed. Read that again. It has not passed. She should be starting high school this year. She should be arguing with her mom about her phone. She should be alive. A border that did its job would have saved her. Two men were caught. Two men were released. One of them was wearing a government tracker. And a 12-year-old girl paid for all of it. She was twelve years old. Don't let this country forget what happened to her. And God bless every parent still fighting to make sure it never happens again.

Today I resigned from @AmnestyUK after 40years. As a women's rights specialist I could no longer condone their failure to balance women's rights with trans rights @SexMattersOrg @Transgendertrd @FrancesShipsey @amnestynews @chiaracapraro @AllianceLGB @WRNBarnet @ruthdraper17

@PhilHannon @rospay15 Mine doubled with no changes to my situatikn. It's a complete scam. Just shop around

Not sure what the wife has done to justify a £120 pa rise in car insurance, she literally does a 6 mile round trip to work at 05.30am & returns at 10.00am 5 days a week, no motorways or dual carriageways. You can guess she's now shopping around.

It was always Nova festival slaughter that got me most. How could so many young in West relate more to Hamas butchers than their music-loving peacenik peers? So this REMARKABLE interview with Taryn, a former pro-Pal - open-minded enough to change her mind after seeing @novaexhibition - is a challenge to my anti-zionist mates: don't boycott, go see for yourselves

@WillardFoxton @bazzdgrogan @Madz_Grant @SO3_Clausewitz @dstlmod @militaryhistori He was not a Naval officer. He was a passenger at the time so not acting in any military operational capacity onboard.

@techsconsult @bazzdgrogan @Madz_Grant @SO3_Clausewitz @dstlmod @militaryhistori On a warship, sunk by the Germans…in what way isn’t that “in action”

@JournalistJill @maryjags @cmdibley There has always been some danger as most men are far stronger physically than women. However because of Uni Sex spaces & the arrival of males from countries that are totally different & lacking respect for women, much greater now @ShabanaMahmood @WomenSafety_UK @sharrond62

@cmdibley You’re a very lucky woman to have reached adulthood and not had to think about your safety in certain situations. Perhaps reflect on that privilege and think about women who feel anxious around men in places where they expect only women to be. Are you able to do that?

The person in the public toilet is a stranger to me. I have no interest in their genitalia, either at birth or now. What they do alone in a closed toilet booth is also of no interest to me. I’ll just be getting on with my own business, washing my hands & leaving. As will they.
