More than a year ago and still relevant.

Hell's bloody teeth. Read this, if you are in Scotland and remotely interested in power, and child protection. This is an increasingly dark story about Scottish public life. Hannah and her editors have been extraordinary, over years.

The word Easter seems to be getting removed from Easter Eggs still, despite the left being convinced it's not. If you want real change, Join @RestoreBritain_, a party that actually wants what is best for us Brits.

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

Hamas killed these Israeli kids with their bare hands after 10/7. Not with guns, nor RPGs, but the terrorists from Gaza strangled them and brutalized their bodies till they were no longer alive. Why? Because they were Jewish. I'll never forget. I'll never forgive.

Civil servants are entitled to their private views, including opposition to the collection of data on sex. But these radical anti-scientific views should not be allowed to influence their work. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

'As the document uncovered by The Telegraph makes clear, once the UK transfers sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius, its waters will fall within the scope of the EU-Mauritius fishing agreement.' 😲 'It has raised concerns among conservationists that European trawlers will exploit fish stocks in the 640,000 sq km area surrounding the Chagos archipelago, one of the planet’s largest Marine Protected Areas (MPA), which has been under a Britain-enforced “no take zone” since 2010.' 😡 EU plot to seize Chagos fishing rights after Starmer’s surrender telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

Keep asking yourself this fundamental question... Why hasn't Keir Starmer proscribed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ? America did it. EU did it. Australia did it. Everyone has done it. Why not Britain?

"Starmer crony's 'secretive' firm pockets £1million from taxpayer after Chagos Islands sell-out" There must be a criminal investigation Personally, I want trials. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@suemitch2017 @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP And Labour - knowing how badly the State runs things - are still going ahead to interfere with our private pensions.

@AlanShanks4 John Swinney reports to no-one. He covers up SNP scandals and redacts official documents. His paw prints are on every failed project and dishonest report issued by the Sturgeon, Yousaf and Swinney regimes. He lies about energy, about the constitution, about everything he touches.

I find these people utterly terrifying. Terrifying. Stupidity is terrifying.

Oh brilliant news .. After the UK hands sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius … The EU could gain access to fishing rights in the waters. So… a no fishing zone becomes available to the EU, who also has more rights to UK waters then erm … the UK

Labour’s Chagos surrender threatens our national interest. Iran, China & Russia all back it, as does the EU. Hard-pressed British taxpayers are due to pay £35bn for this Chagos Surrender on top of the billions more Starmer now wants to handover to the EU. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

Meanwhile, spare a thought for @oliverbrown_tel (The Telegraph) @seaningle (The Guardian) and @martynziegler (The Times) who wrote excellent articles explaining that men were banned from the female category, only to be sabotaged by headline writers who trumpeted: ‘transgender women banned from female Olympic events' or 'Olympics announces transgender ban...". Headline writers please note: trans women are men. Just write men. 5/6

But… drumroll… In an outbreak of clarity the @BBCSport website correctly reported: ‘Olympic women’s sport limited to biological females’ THIS FROM THE BBC! See it’s not hard to get it right. Bravo BBC Sports Editor @danroan 6/6

Don't strike a deal with Iran's current leaders, opposition figure Pahlavi warns - reuters.com/business/media…

@ArgyleBecky Congratulations!

Cheers……it’s our wedding anniversary and we are having champagne to celebrate. Have a good night. 🥂

Even by the @BBCNews, this is Orwellian. ▶️At the front of the joint march were supporters of the Iranian Islamist regime, which executes gay people and women for not covering up. ▶️Also there, pro-Hamas trash; so gay-hating, women-oppressing, anti-Semites. ▶️Also there, Socialist Workers, i.e. hard-left, sub-Marxist fascists peddling class war. ▶️Supported by a bunch of idiot centrist dads, Labour MPs and woke halfwits from moral-busted organisations (like @amnesty), and organised by Together Alliance, which includes a bunch of foreign-funded activists and pop-up organisations with a handful of members (@CharlotteCGill has the details). You couldn't make it up. @bbcpress @DefundBBC

So the Bad Law Project failed to get Sarah @SVPhillimore sanctioned for alleged harassment of the lovely Sophie Molly. (His social media posts included one saying "Fuck the Supreme Court!!". Lol) The Bar Standards Board rejected the claim - worth a read sarahphillimore.substack.com/p/right-here-r…
