You've been here longer than you think. 🇬🇧 Not since the Romans. Not since Stonehenge. For over 11,000 years. 🦌 Star Carr. The edge of a lake in Yorkshire. They built a house. The oldest house in Britain. Posts in the ground. A hearth in the centre. They split timbers and

@ThomasEvansAdur @PolitlcsUK @ConcernedOfUK There are no upper class areas in Wigan Borough

@PolitlcsUK @ConcernedOfUK An elderly couple living in an upper class house. Sounds about right.

The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January. Only an end to this regime - that brings terror to Britain’s own shores - will yield lasting peace and regional stability. Keir Starmer should follow in the footsteps of Churchill, not Chamberlain. He should support the Iranian people’s fight for liberty. The Iranian people will remember who stood with them in their hour of need and who stood against them. There is still time for the Government to change course: prosecute the IRGC that slaughters innocents, expel the illegitimate regime's ambassador, and act to support the people of Iran.

@DPJHodges Yes but you are all there with your tongues hanging out aren't you. Pathetic

Aside from the timing, isn’t this a classic example of the Streisand Effect? I honestly had no idea any of this was floating around.

@hermionegingol1 Now I am jealous Ms Gingold. Fred from Farnworth, just up the road from me, has never added me to his list, despite my antipathy to him and my comments saying so. Hey ho, onward and upward. 🥂

the heavily filtered fat fred noticed me!!!! fame at last!!! x

@paulmasonnews Starmer has no principles. He is a f'wit. An irredemable f'wit.

This is a great, principled statement by Starmer - clear distance from Trump, pragmatism on fossil fuels, not joining Trump and Netanyahu's forever wars

@DavidGHFrost @Telegraph Just as well there was no X or Truth Social back in the day.....It's doubtful that Churchill, Roosevelt, de Gaulle etc etc were holding back on their language or threats, they just had nowhere publicly big enough to vent them. And nothing about the EU has been strengthened. Nowt

President Trump's reckless threats this week crossed a moral line and were impossible to support. And his constant disdain for his allies alienates supporters and helps only his opponents. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇 telegraph.co.uk/gift/8b33a2709…

The Institute for Fiscal Studies @TheIFS has given its 'initial response' to Plaid Cymru's manifesto, including the line: "Plaid Cymru therefore does not appear to have faced up to the fiscal reality facing the next Welsh Government. And if the party knows how it would afford

@SarahjevsEvans Howard bach realising he needs to come to grips with south Wales valley accents pretty sharpish. Welcome home hardd 😘

In 1946 a Hungarian visiting Britain made an observation. 🇬🇧 "An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one." He was right. But nobody told you why. It started in the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Same factory. Same start time. Same end time.

Britain invented the world's first traffic lights. 🚦 1868. Britain introduced the world's first driving licences. 1903. And in 1931, when seven thousand people a year were dying on British roads, a man called Herbert Morrison decided enough was enough. 🇬🇧 No driving test

@BBCBreakfast Lacklustre Cooper dribbling her way through the interview round this morning is a prime example of why the talentless, vacuous Labour Party and government have become a fringe party and a laughing stock

'We want to see Lebanon urgently included in as part of a ceasefire' Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper spoke to #BBCBreakfast after more than 100 Israeli air strikes killed 182 people and wounded 890 in Lebanon - according to the health ministry bbc.co.uk/news/live/clye…

@soniasodha Labour Party is now a fringe party. All by it's own making. Starmer et al and lacklustre, lazy personnel, some sailing very close to criminality, have ruined it and have shown they are unfit to govern. The Green islamofascist alliance is a clear and present danger not just wacky.

A bit depressing that the best pitch I can make for voting for one of the establishment parties (for me, Labour) is that the Greens and Reform are worse. But there we are. My column in today’s Times. 🔗 up next.

When schoolgirls need a rape alarm there is something very wrong with the environment they are living in. In this Scottish town it is believed that the girls may be stalked by hotel migrants. This is not a civilised society. It is like a script from a horror movie. The residents deserve better and those who have put these young girls in danger need to take accountability.

There's a pub in England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It's been open for over a thousand years. You can walk in tonight. The Porch House. Stow-on-the-Wold. The Cotswolds. As old as England itself. And when it opened... there was no united kingdom. No parliament. No Magna Carta. Vikings were still raiding the coast. And someone opened a pub. The fire's still going. You can walk in and sit by it tonight. The same space. The same warmth. A thousand years later. There are pubs in England older than the United States. Older than the printing press. Older than the Viking invasions. And they're not museums. No rope. No plaque. No ticket. You walk in. You sit down. You order a pint. Empires rose and fell. Wars started and ended. Kings came and went. And the pub stayed open. A room where anyone can sit. Rich or poor. Lord or labourer. No membership. No invitation. Just a door and a bar and a seat by the fire. A thousand years. And the door never closed. That's more than a building. That's England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The video you just watched was funded by people like you. Not a company. Not a sponsor. Our people: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Every country on Earth armed their police. Gave them military uniforms. Made them answer to the state. Except one. In 1829, Britain created the first police force in history that carried no weapons. Wore civilian clothes. And answered to the people, not the government. Before

@BBCr4today @hzeffman Even more than that, Starmer's relationship with the electorate has deteriorated completely. All his running off to the Middle East for photo opps won't save him or his future reputation

"Over the six weeks or so of this conflict... Keir Starmer's personal relationship with Donald Trump has deteriorated significantly." Chief Political Correspondent @hzeffman shares analysis of the state of the UK's relationship with the US and countries in the Gulf.

🇬🇧 Magna Carta had a twin. It was law for 754 years. You've never heard of it. After 1066, the Normans claimed the forests of England. Not just the trees... Villages, farmland, rivers. One third of the country. Land ordinary people had farmed for centuries. Taken. Hunt a
