My speech to the Conservative Party Conference on how to reverse the UK’s decline. I didn’t hold back. The state has grown in every sphere, almost without people noticing; a wild move to the left over two decades. Farage is a socialist (look at his actual economy policy!) who will take us further down this path. Only realism can save us. #CPC25

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery. Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.
ThinkingWest@thinkingwest

The British Empire was, in some ways, a force for good. In many places it occupied it: -raised the standard of living -developed infrastructure -promoted education It also single-handedly ended slavery for much of the world…🧵(thread)

@afneil Is the bigger problem if Israel block arms exports to the UK? Considering the Army buy drones off Israeli companies.

Aren’t you in danger of pontificating about matters on which you have no competence, experience or jurisdiction? The UK accounts for 0.1% of the military equipment Israel imports. Yes 0.1%. Don’t you have enough problems to do with your day job?
Humza Yousaf@HumzaYousaf

In my interview with @MFRNews I made it clear that the UK Government must stop exporting arms to Israel. By continuing to send weapons to Israel the UK Government is effectively complicit in the killing of innocent civilians. How many more innocent people have to be killed?

@93vintagejones @TomSeston Fella in my workingman’s club was a PoW in the far east during WWII. He use to stand up and toast every 6th August. Also remember the protests about letting Nissan come to the NE.

@implausibleblog Couple of points. UK never in the Eurozone. By GDP size UK would be second largest economy if compared to individual states, only surpassed by California.

@ritamay1 @FXMC1957 William Fitzpatrick de Hertburn (William, son of Patrick, of Hartburn) is the ancestor from Stockton. He swooped land to that in Washington, and the rest, as they say, is history.

4 February 1789. George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, was unanimously elected as the 1st US President by all 69 presidential electors who cast their votes. The electors were chosen by popular vote.

@SophyRidgeSky @joncraig I thought @joncraig would have defended Stockton’s honour, after he use to go drinking in The Sun pub in the high street for a number of years.

@andrewfoster101 @SkySports The Larry Sanders Show very underrated in the UK. I nearly threw my shoe at Twitter when some wrote about Miranda being ground breaking comedy for “breaking the forth wall”.

The way that @SkySports treats #NRL reminds me of how the BBC used to stick Seinfeld and Larry Sanders on BBC2 at random times going up to midnight. Trotters Independent Traders, blissfully unaware they’ve got something priceless hidden away in the lock-up. #rugbyleague
