Colin deserves a home as special as he is 💛 Like this post if you agree! He navigates the world in his own way, using his other senses to find his way. He is a sweet boy who loves playing with toys, and snuggling in for lots of affection. Isn't he the sweetest?

Love it!

In a major development, the IPCC has finally admitted its apocalyptic RCP8.5 climate scenarios are "implausible", meaning most media scare stories over the last 15 years are officially junk, says Chris Morrison. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/05/ipc…

So many people on here saying voting is a waste of time . Well I’m still voting because I know one demographic that will definitely vote, so if we end up with ‘green’ councils everywhere it’s our own fault for not turning out

My monologue from today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil @TimesRadio ROYAL NAVY RIP While US destroyers duke it out with Iranian navy fast boats over the Strait of Hormuz, we learned yesterday that the Royal Navy’s HMS Iron Duke, a Type 23 frigate, was being withdrawn from active service, despite a recent £100m five-year refit, which suggests that was largely a waste of money.  More important, it underlines the stark reality that we no longer have a functioning navy.  That’s right. The country of Rule Britannia, which once had the most powerful navy in the world, capable of protecting an empire which covered a quarter of the globe, no longer has a navy worthy of the name.   For the factual basis of what I’m about to say, I am indebted to Britsky, who posts important naval data on X and has become the reliable go-to source for information on our disappearing Navy.  HMS Iron Duke joins another ageing Type 23, HMS Richmond, in retirement. Leaving the Royal Navy with just five frigates to monitor Russian submarine activity in the North Atlantic and other Russian activity in the Channel.  Even that doesn’t reveal the full, desperate picture. Of the five frigates still supposedly available for service, one, HMS Kent, has been almost 750 days in refit and is not available for service. HMS Portland and HMS St Albans have also been laid up for some time.  Only HMS Somerset is currently deployed and HMS Sutherland could be, pretty quickly. So the Royal Navy can call on the immediate services of only two of the five frigates we have, all dating from the 1990s.  What about the more powerful Type 45 destroyers? Sad to relate the picture is even bleaker. There are only six. One, HMS Dragon, has been deployed to the East Mediterranean to protect Cyprus, though that took some time.  Another, HMS Daring, has been in refit for 3,260 days and still not available for duty. HMS Defender has been out of action for over 1,000 days, HMS Diamond for just under 700 days. HMS Dauntless is in maintenance. Other than Dragon, out of our six destroyers, only HMS Duncan could be deployed quickly.  What about our hugely expensive, powerful Astute class submarines? Better you don’t ask. We have only five — and only one, HMS Anson, is on active service somewhere in the Indian Ocean.  The other four — Astute, Ambush, Artful and Audacious — have been laid up for a total of 4,000 days. That’s right 4,000 days. HMS Ambush alone has been inactive for 1,400 days. It’s currently laid up on the River Clyde.  So the currently deployable, conventional Royal Navy, excluding the ancient, creaking subs carrying our nuclear deterrent, amounts to two frigates, two destroyers and one sub. That’s not a navy for a maritime nation. That’s a joke.  Yes, we have two big aircraft carriers too. They also seem to spend a lot of time in maintenance, which is where they are at the moment. But both could currently be deployed pretty quickly, which is an improvement. But we don’t have the frigates or destroyers to form a carrier fleet. So they can only be used in concert with better equipped allies.  We might be short of fighting ships. But we’re not short of admirals. We currently have around 30 rear admirals or above, which works out around four per deployable ship. That’s admirals. Not captains.  None, of course, of this bloated top brass has been held accountable for the near disappearance of our naval power. Nor have any Tory politicians who for 14 years presided over our navy’s degradation. Nor is the current Labour government in any apparent hurry to put matters right. Our airforce and army are in no great shapes either. But it is the state of our non-navy, an integral, vital part of our island history, which is the real national scandal.  And, as is so often the case in modern Britain, nobody is held to account. Nobody forced to carry the can. Nobody making it their mission to put it right. And that is the real national disgrace.

Here’s a scenario. Angela Rayner takes over, the bond markets lose patience, we face a full-on financial crisis, way beyond the capacity of the IMF. And then what? dailymail.com/debate/article…

It’s not “will” the UK run out of money under #Labour…..it’s when. #RachelReeves is a disaster. Every business with a bank loan…..everyone with a mortgage, overdraft, credit debt, or a car loan……is being battered by her lunatic student economics. Vote them out of your area on Thursday in the #LocalElections. #Gilts

It is appallingly irresponsible of the Starmer regime to 'lend' another £2,000,000,000 to Ukraine (that will never be repaid) when the UK has a national debt of £2,900,000,000,000 that is growing by £133,000,000,000 a year.

🚨NEWS: Lancashire County Council (Reform UK) has just become the FIRST council in Britain to QUIT the Government’s refugee resettlement scheme! No more prioritising migrants over our own people. Brits, veterans and the homeless go to the front of the queue for homes.

@spectator Nutters. Mayhem. Anarchy. Hate speech. Jail the lot of them.

Green candidate in this week’s council elections says the White House should be blown up, described Hamas taking ‘filthy hostages,’ and denies that anyone was raped by the terror group on 7 October. Feda Shahin, a Green candidate in Bournemouth, was first exposed – for different extremist statements – by The Spectator on 21 April. We disclosed she had said that ‘the Zionists killed 20 million Christians’ and that ‘Zionists are trying to control the world.’ She is ‘secretary general’ of a local pro-Palestine group, the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which earned national notoriety after it staged a night-time picket of an MP’s private home. Now there are some more to report. In a thread from mid-March, discussion turns to the Iran war. ‘I hope Iran can destroy Israel and leave no-one there,’ writes another member of the group. Shahin replies: ‘Iran should hit the Whitehouse. It is the headquarters for evil.’ ✍️ Andrew Gilligan Article | spectator.com/article/the-gr…

Starmer is trying to buy himself into a top EU job using our fecking money. Stop this b astard becoming another Blair.

@InspGadgetBlogs Jail for life

Palestine Action terrorist Samuel Corner has been found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm after striking Sgt Kate Evans twice with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine. He was denied bail and remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on 12 June. #BlueLivesMatter

@benonwine Life in prison.

A Palestine Action activist and deranged Lunatic who broke a female police officer’s back with a sledgehammer has been found guilty of grievous bodily harm. What should the sentence be?

It's all falling apart for Zack Polanski. He claimed to be a spokesperson for the British Red Cross. He isn't. That was a lie. He claimed to be a member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy. He isn't. Another lie. He's a dangerous, dishonest, unhinged, far-left fantasist.

@AllisonPearson Worst ever, with bells and sirens on!

On Thursday, Labour are dead. Finished, Over. Humiliated. Reviled by millions who have had enough, Worst government ever.
