I had a horrible nightmare last night that a ceasefire was agreed to that allowed the Iranian regime to continue ruling Iran

In the 1980s, Britain had over 300,000 frontline troops. Today? Around 185,000. Meanwhile, the civil service has ballooned to over 500,000. We now have nearly 3x more bureaucrats than frontline soldiers. That’s not a serious country. That’s a state wildly out of balance.

Gordon Brown sold the gold for pence..that is a criminal offence…Gold is going to be the only solid assets…banging on about Thatcher is a waste of time…she left office in 1990…
Andrew J. Willshire@ajwillshire

To my mind, Thatcherism was the necessary, inevitable, and painful conclusion of the 1945-1979 destruction of our economy through nationalisation (squandering the Marshall Plan money from the Americans in the process) and rampant trade union militancy. We literally handed over 20% of the economy to people with no interest in the profit motive (and therefore no interest in quality, efficiency, customer opinion, etc.). And then New Labour shackled the government (judicial review, freedom of information), hamstrung the remaining industry with the Climate Change Act, and furthered the process by which producer interest is all that matters. And now the Starmer government is making it harder yet, ramping up taxes on employment, ramping up wages, continuing with insane energy policies, and adding yet more workers' rights (for those lucky enough to have a job). Also, their attack on family-owned businesses is a really bad idea, as they tend to be the companies that plan properly for the future and treat their employees well. It's unarguable that there have been some useless and ineffectual Conservative governments in the last 80 years as well, but none have done the damage that Attlee, Blair (and Brown), and Starmer have done / are doing.

@JT2O29 @RestoreBritain_ For the avoidance of any doubt - Restore Britain would defund the BBC, make it a subscription service and let it perish.

A month ago the negotiations were about Iran's nuclear enrichment and ballistic missiles. Now the negotiations will be about Iran charging a fee for transit through the Strait of Hormuz and removing all sanctions. The MAGA cult still claims victory.

We have a culture in Britain, and it works just fine. We don't need multiculturalism, we don't want multiculturalism. What we need is to rediscover the confidence to defend our own traditions, our own Christian values, and our own way of life. That is what we need.

I find it very difficult to take this man seriously. Our defence is multi-polar, not binary: the USA has been the linch pin of European security since the birth of NATO and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, despite one’s personal views of the man in the White House. Absolutely nothing of what Rickett’s says suggests that Europe has anything like the political will or the united vision to create anything that might fill the vacuum, even if its true (which I doubt) that the USA will leave NATO. There are old anti US prejudices - widespread in Westminster - showing themselves here, in the nirvanic belief that Europe can fill the gap. Who might create and guard a North Atlantic line of communication in time of a future war, for example, other than the USA? We need to get real about defence: without the USA we frankly don’t have any. What Rickett’s should be doing instead is making NATO work effectively, by advocating a serious sea-change investment in defence, reversing 40-years of disastrous decline. The reason why POTUS seems alienated from NATO at present isn’t because he likes Mr Putin but because he’s sick of European freeloading, of Europe’s continuing inability to take its commitment to the defence of the North Atlantic seriously. I agree with him. We have ourselves to blame, but Ricketts doesn’t have the answers.
BBC Radio 4 Today@BBCr4today

"I think we do have to rethink the idea that the US a reliable, trustworthy ally which we can depend in the longer term." Lord Ricketts, former National Security Advisor, says we should 'forget' the UK-US special relationship because it is a 'transactional relationship.'

We must be mad, literally mad. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.
