ยฃ179 million was spent planning the Stonehenge tunnel. ยฃ0 spent building it. The project was scrapped. Most went on: โ€ข Design โ€ข Environmental compliance โ€ข Archaeology โ€ข Legal challenges All whilst our cities and towns fall apart due to lack of investment.

My colleague @NJ_Timothy states clearly and calmly why he objects to the public broadcasting of the Arabic call to prayer (Adhan) and mass ritual prayer in shared spaces. He respects normal Muslims, has attended Iftar and supports freedom of worship. Smearing him as racist or calling for his sacking is not just wrong. It is lazy, dishonest politics. youtu.be/WGvHU06h68Y?siโ€ฆ

Net Zero was passed in 2019, 11 years after the Climate Change Act 2008. It went through on "ayes" alone, no vote required, after 90 minutes of fake "debate" -- mostly barely literate MPs reading statements that had been put to them by green NGOs.

Lots of confusion here. There was no vote on Net Zero -- the 5 objections were to one division in the final reading of the Climate Change Bill. And Elon Musk is a solar advocate, not an energy innovator. More to the point though, why are wonks from think tanks that lobbied the Tory government for Net Zero policies, in reports funded by the green blob not being asked to account for their role in this? Why are they being invited on to news shows to suddenly act as the independent critics of an agenda that they ignored criticism of? I don't know what this chap's views were at the time, or since. But if Onward and organisations like it were involved in the creation of the problem, then they need to go, by dissolving themselves, or by being pushed out of politics. That is to say that Net Zero isn't just a policy agenda, it's the expression of a form of politics, in which "civil society" organisations had too much influence, to which governments and politicians deferred too much, and to which news media paid too much attention.

โ€˜Ed Miliband is Mr net zero.โ€™ Policy Fellow at Onward, Andrew Barclay, believes that the Labour Government may lean more into net zero commitments due to competition from the Green Party and that entrepreneurship is needed instead.

@mrpotholeuk @TonyByr33080250 @CamillaTominey @Heidi_Labour @NationalHways @railandroad Yeah they load tarmac into the pothole leaving it proud of the road surface and relying on vehicles to level it off,surely tamping it down to start with would seal the repair. The loose tarmac around the edges must get scattered when traffic goes over๐Ÿ™ˆshocking but they all do it

Starmer Has the Intelligence. He's Chosen to Ignore It. Why? Isaac Herzog did not mince his words. The Israeli president looked at Britain's record on Iran and asked, simply: "What is this?" Ten, twenty terror events linked to Iran on British soil in a single year. Jewish ambulances firebombed. Four men arrested surveilling Jewish targets on Tehran's behalf. Ballistic missiles fired at Diego Garcia, a base where British personnel serve. And a Prime Minister who has still not proscribed the organisation responsible for all of it. Herzog's question deserves a straight answer. Britain is the only major western ally that has not designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. The United States has. The European Union has โ€” and the EU spent years resisting precisely because it feared straining relations with Tehran, before being shamed into acting by the IRGC's massacre of its own protesters. Britain has not moved. The question worth asking is not whether Starmer has the information. He does. The question is what he intends to do with it. This matters because the case against Starmer is not one of ignorance. MI5 disclosed 20 disrupted Iran-backed plots against British citizens since 2022. The Walney report documented more than 30 Iran-linked institutions operating inside Britain, eight of them already under Charity Commission investigation. The intelligence picture is not ambiguous. The threat is established, documented, and growing. What is missing is the political will to act on it. The government's stated justification for not proscribing the IRGC is a legal one: the organisation is technically part of the Iranian state and therefore cannot be treated in the same category as Hamas or Hezbollah. This argument, understood to have the fingerprints of Attorney General Lord Hermer on it, would be more persuasive if the IRGC were behaving like a state institution rather than a terror army. It directed assassination plots on British streets. It is suspected of orchestrating the firebombing of a Jewish charity. It fired missiles at British sovereign territory. The legal distinction Hermer is drawing has become a shield for inaction, not a principled limit on it. Former heads of Britain's counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East have now taken the unusual step of writing publicly to say that Starmer's refusal to proscribe the IRGC is leaving Britain strategically exposed. This is not backbench noise. These are people who spent careers inside the threat picture. When they break cover to criticise a sitting prime minister's security posture, the assessment should be taken seriously. Starmer's handling of the broader Iran conflict follows the same pattern. He initially refused to allow American strikes from British bases. He authorised their use only later, for what Downing Street carefully described as defensive operations. HMS Dragon arrived in the Mediterranean four weeks into the conflict. The sequencing is always the same: delay, recalibrate, reposition once the political cost of inaction becomes impossible to absorb. It is not caution. Caution implies a settled judgement. This is drift. The Hatzola firebombing brought 3,700 recorded antisemitic incidents in Britain last year into sharper focus. Herzog spoke to the charity's leadership from the Israeli border and told them the fate of Jews everywhere is bound together. He is right. And it falls to the British government to ensure that Iranian terror networks cannot operate on British streets with the quiet assurance that the state will not move against them. A prime minister who waits for the evidence to be overwhelming before acting has already failed. The evidence is now overwhelming. The assassins are already on our streets. "This matters because the case against Starmer is not one of ignorance. MI5 disclosed 20 disrupted Iran-backed plots against British citizens since 2022."

The Messages Are Not Gone. They Are on Someone Else's Phone. There is a certain kind of political scandal that ends not with a dramatic revelation but with a mundane one. Not a smoking gun but a forgotten detail. Not a conspiracy unravelled but a basic error of logic, sitting in plain sight, waiting for someone to point at it. This is one of those moments. We have spent several weeks being told that Morgan McSweeney's messages are gone. Wiped. Unrecoverable. Lost to a street robbery in Pimlico and a remote deletion that, conveniently, destroyed the tracker along with everything else. Downing Street has leaned heavily on this narrative. The messages cannot be produced because the messages do not exist. The phone is gone. The evidence is gone. Move along. There is a problem with this story. WhatsApp is not a one-way street. When two people exchange messages, those messages exist on both devices. Wiping one phone does not reach through the internet and delete the other. McSweeney's conversations with Lord Mandelson are not only on McSweeney's phone. They are also on Mandelson's phone. His conversations with Jonathan Powell are on Powell's phone. His conversations with Matthew Doyle are on Doyle's phone. The messages Downing Street has declared unrecoverable are, in fact, sitting in the pockets and cloud backups of everyone McSweeney spoke to. Any child with a smartphone could tell you this. And it raises a question so obvious it is remarkable that it has taken this long to ask it loudly: why has nobody in Downing Street been asked to produce their devices? The answer, in Mandelson's case, may already be known to the Metropolitan Police. He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. When you arrest someone on those grounds, you seize their phone. That is standard procedure. It is not optional. If Mandelson's device was taken, as it almost certainly was, then the Metropolitan Police are already in possession of the other end of every conversation Downing Street has spent months telling us is lost. Read that again slowly. The government may have wiped one phone while the police were already holding the other. If that is the case, then the claim that McSweeney's messages are unrecoverable is not an unfortunate consequence of a street robbery. Maintaining that claim in full knowledge of Mandelson's arrest and the likely seizure of his device is not carelessness. It is something considerably more serious. Downing Street has refused to say whether any attempt was made to track the wiped phone. It has refused to explain why the ICO was not notified. It has refused to say whether MI5 or GCHQ were informed. It is now going to have to answer a fourth question, and this one is harder to manage than the others. If the police have Mandelson's phone, where are the messages? "The messages Downing Street has declared unrecoverable are, in fact, sitting in the pockets and cloud backups of everyone McSweeney spoke to."
