My young autistic son just said to me “You’re my best friend forever mummy”. Never thought we’d get to the point when I’d hear him say such a long sentence - after he was non-verbal for so long. I used to wish I could hear his voice and now he doesn’t stop talking. ❤️ #Autism

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!🇬🇧 A young woman made a confused report to the police that she was raped by a group of men on her way home from a club, and believes it happened between 2.00am-4.00am outside a church. The woman is unwell and is hospitalised, and no doubt a rape kit is administered to preserve any physical evidence. Meanwhile - quite rightly - the police put out a call for any witnesses or dashcam footage, which is standard operating procedure. Then the far right get involved. When no descriptions are released by the police, they start saying that it is because the perpetrators must be asylum seekers/Muslims/immigrants. A social media account invents a description of them wearing flip-flops - taken to mean sliders that a lot of young black guys wear. More and more wild conspiracies are circulated, including the police deliberately not releasing descriptions (rather than doing their job of taking forensic evidence at the claimed scene of crime and examining CCTV footage from every angle available to them from the night-club to the alleged scene of crime and beyond) Then a convicted kidnapper, former drug dealer and former "Raise the Flags" grifter - all the same person, btw - puts out a call to arms on social media, for people to attend a protest at 5.00pm one afternoon. The usual hotel-shouting suspects turn up from all over the South East. They riot. The police issue a statement saying they still don't have any evidence to confirm the crime was committed as claimed. They attack an HMO simply because it is an HMO, even though they have been told that there are no asylum residences in Epsom. Turns out it was housing vulnerable people. They identify what they believe must be an asylum hotel - first a Premier Inn. Nope. Then a Travelodge, where they demand entry to check who they have staying there and demand to see their "books". A few days later, the police make a further statement, and a woman with a microphone demands to know what the outcome of any medical checks on the woman complainant was. Read that paragraph again: a WOMAN with a MICROPHONE is asking the police to reveal MEDICAL EVIDENCE relating to a potential RAPE VICTIM to a crowd of braying flag-bedecked football casuals and racists. The far right grifters and their hard-of-thinking followers still maintain this is a police cover-up while simultaneously sharing evidence of where other asylum-seekers or migrants have been convicted, so obviously the police didn't cover up those crimes, Einstein. The leader of the Pink Ladies - newly defected to Reform UK - shares photos of some completely different migrants in another area of the country and claims they are the photos the police are hiding from us all, because the police don't want you to know about migrants who commit crimes, (even though she was, obviously, sharing yesterday the reports of the terrible rape that happened in Brighton where the police arrested and prosecuted three asylum-seekers.) And now we know the poor woman was, in fact, the victim of some form of head injury which left her presumably very confused and frightened and had mistakenly made a report to the police. And there are STILL Einsteins out there claiming it was a cover up. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE DANGEROUS PEOPLE, AND THEIR PSYCHOTIC CHEER-LEADERS. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM THE HATEFUL GREMLINS THAT FILL MY TIMELINE WITH THEIR DELUDED CRAP DAY AFTER DAY! I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM A GOVERNMENT THAT, INSTEAD OF CALLING OUT THIS APPALLING ESCALATION OF HATRED AND BIGOTRY, PLAYS ALONG WITH IT IN THE HOPE OF GAINING VOTES!

@sudocraoi i agree with you. i don’t think he has dementia. it’s just old age.

@02percent_ @lowtheband He does as much as he did before. He's certainly not as coherent as he was in his 40s, but he's barely any different than when he was in his 60s. If he really was slipping, he wouldn't be ranting about Iran, Hormuz, JD Vance and so on. He's not in the void, not yet anyway.

Watched my mom fall into dementia a few years ago. That pinned-up Mogwai-looking (the movie, not the band) eye-nose-mouth look is a thing in advanced cases. Probably doesn’t recognize half the people around him now and he’s being run by his handlers.

You know what never seems to make the front pages of the UK media? Native born British white paedophile gangs. Like this one in Bolton. Just this week. Who saw this on the front page of Daily Mail ? Who saw this being discussed for seven hours by @GBNEWS ? Nobody.

Can we just take a second to really take this in? How on earth has it come to this? Where a man can performatively ‘admit’ to sex with a child on an international platform but then couch it as some form of reflection or responsible accountability exercise - whilst deliberately leaning on our terrible, useless, outdated sexual offences act and age of consent? This man was 30 years old, and at the height of his fame - when he made an active choice to have sex with a child. I would use much stronger language here but he’s deliberately leaning on our consent laws, that a 16 year old child can technically consent to sex - meaning that he could technically have ‘consensual sex’ with a school age child. His admission and his disgusting performative ‘progressive’ ‘reflection’ that he is ‘exploitative’ makes my effin skin crawl. If this is not a predator in full swing, I do not know what is. This man is admitting to sex with children and no one is going to do a thing about it. Absolutely atrocious. Our laws need urgently updating to ensure no adult can ever have technically consensual sex with a child. No adult should ever want that; and no child should ever be exposed to it. End.

@ZackPolanski 😂

@EssexPR The correct response was sorry. I'm being an absolute ghoul and I was wrong. But you have no shame so I won't hold my breath.

None of this is ok. But as a Jewish man yourself, I can’t seem to find your tweets on the countless synagogue attacks recently?… Or churches being burned down ? Why is this ? You’re a Party leader, I’d thought you would be consistent?… Or do you rely on a certain vote ?…

@AlanRMacLeod the entitlement

Yes, because you now have two homes.

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.

not sure ‘let’s starve british kids so we can blow foreign ones up!’ is the winning campaign slogan he thinks it is

Israel is a rogue state and our government should treat it as such. Our Government should have suspended diplomatic and trade relations long ago but if not now, when?

@RepLuna Honestly, I think you need a Carer. Your state of mind makes you vulnerable. There is probably medication you can take too.

I just spoke with the President and would like to publicly congratulate him on this. Some of my not-so-smart Democrat colleagues will soon be forced to issue public statements of support when they understand the terms of what the agreement is. To be clear, President Trump has been consistent and precise in his messaging from the beginning. Only weeks ago, Iran was viewed as an existential threat to the US and most of Europe. NATO exposed who they really are. Many people got exposed. Those who try to use this to sow division or just straight-up lie have also outed themselves. To be clear, from the beginning, this was about saving American lives. President Trump has truly accomplished something that no other POTUS could have pulled off. PEACE WILL ULTIMATELY PREVAIL.

So the bottom line is that the US bombers did leave UK bases last evening fully loaded to strike whatever crazy locations the mad president intended. I don't care that they returned. It's unjustifiable that Starmer allowed them to do it. Starmer must go, and the US bases must go as well.

@PressSec one day this presidency will be over, but your actions during it will stay with you for the rest of your life.

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Large US airforce airlift of tankers and military cargo flights continue into the Middle East tonight despite talks of a ceasefire....

Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including: "*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*" Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM." Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.

Where the fuck is Starmer?

@thfclas ‼️ x3 KC-135 Tankers are now departing Bucharest, Romania to support bomber and fighter flights from RAF Fairford

When will Starmer get the message. It’s not about what HE wants it’s about what WE want. He isn’t our master, he isn’t our ruler. HE is a public servant. WE are the public. BAN US MILITARY FROM UK AIR SPACE And UK bases.
