This Welsh choirgirl is Saaba Mahmood, 36, of Manchester. She has AVOIDED jail after scrounging £100,000 in illegal benefit claims which she made on behalf of relatives living in Pakistan. Instead of prison, she was made to attend a fraud awareness course 🇬🇧

Yuval Raphael has been cut from the official Eurovision album. The European Broadcasting Union has reignited Eurovision controversy by completely excluding Israel’s 2025 representative, Yuval Raphael, from the official album compilation video. This despite the fact that Raphael finished in second place and won a commanding victory in the public vote. Photo: Flash90

‘The money, billions from private schools’ VAT is going into the NHS’? What? Rayner is clueless. Has a script but doesn’t understand any of it. @adamboultonTABB @TimesRadio

Culture secretary Lisa Nandy misses what could be the last Commons questions to the department of culture. She is on a freebie in Osaka.

First question for Keir Starmer at PMQs... "Why is unemployment rising on his watch?" Keir Starmer: "£22 BILliOn bLAcK hoLE" YET AGAIN, he REFUSES to answer a single question and repeats the fictional '£22bn black hole' lie without any intervention. The man is a disgrace.

BREAKING: I have been granted an urgent question in Parliament on US-UK Trade this morning. The government will have to come to the House to provide more detail on the deal that has leaked out this morning.

In February a man was arrested for allegedly burning a Quran. Now he’s been charged with intent to cause distress ‘against the religious institution of Islam’. Parliament abolished blasphemy laws in 2008. They mustn’t be reintroduced by the back-door.

As Home Secretary I blocked the India Trade Deal because I was not willing to grant concessions on visas. It seems that you have caved and opened our labour market to more Indian workers who will be cheaper to hire than Brits. This is not the way to cut migration or support British workers. Haven’t you learnt anything from the last few days?!

The failure of planning and oversight is mind boggling. This is no simple matter of a rounding error. Incredibly, the Home Office has managed to underestimate the cost of accommodating asylum seekers by two thirds. The cost now turns out to be £15bn over the next ten years 🤦‍♂️

How hard is it to sit still and show respect to our fallen? 🧐

DOGE UK reports on the current additional funding UK councils are getting for Net Zero, with most of the grants coming through Innovate UK, a subsidy of UK Research and Innovation, which receives a whopping £8.9 billion of taxpayer's cash every year. #CostOfNetZero

@ScotNational Can a woman have a penis ?

“Conservatives achieved nothing in 14 years!” You hear it all the time. But is it quite true? God knows they made mistakes. But they had real achievements, too. Tragically, all those achievements are now being undone. Let’s consider some of them. 1/6

Chilling: Yet another study set to report Antarctic gaining ice. Study preprint: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2025… Discussion: notrickszone.com/2025/05/05/new…

@NoEducationTax @Keir_Starmer Everything Labour does seems to be a punishment. Punished for serving, punished for farming, punished for using private schools, punished for being elderly, punished for working, punished for being disabled. There is no incentive with them…

Vote Conservative today. We have a new leader, with new ideas. The party wants to prove that they are listening. Not just on local issues, but on things like immigration and the cost of living. Let’s get this country back on track. #VoteConservative

Now #norway has said #britain is mad to give up on tis #NorthSea oil & gas. Another sign that the govt is completely wrong on #NetZero

This "kill your local MP" utterance in front of a load of fans is a far more direct incitement - and with a far greater danger of sparking a murder given the nature of that fan base - than anything Lucy Connolly said in her short-lived tweet. She got sent to prison for 31 months.

When even Tony Blair starts to question the globalist racket of Net Zero, you know it’s time is up… telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
