- You think Churchill was a racist? Just wait till you hear about the guy he defeated.
- He demanded an enquiry into whether Boris had eaten some cake. But he won't allow one into the gruesome sacrifice of thousands of girls in the name of anti-racism.
- George Abaraonye has been removed as President-Elect of the Oxford Union in a confidence motion by the required two thirds majority. That majority came largely from life members, who either voted by proxy or returned to Oxford today. The adults had to step in. The system worked.
- I find it almost unbelievable that George Abaraonye reacted as he did to the murder of someone he had met, someone whose hand he had shaken. For him, Charlie Kirk was not an abstraction, not a monster conjured by Leftist TikTok feeds, but a flesh-and-blood man who had bothered to
- Talking to a group of pleasant, clever socialists last night, it hit me that the defining characteristic of the Left is not compassion; rather, it is the conviction that compassion is unique to their side, leading to a grotesque misunderstanding of what the other side thinks.
- I couldn’t believe @Keir_Starmer actually said this, and watched his speech twice to check it wasn’t some kind of deepfake. Raising concerns about the worst scandal of the past 20 years means you’re “jumping on a far-Right bandwagon”? The man is not fit to be prime minister.

- My cab driver just now, a Brit of Pakistani origin, on the rape scandal. "Do Labour think Muslims want to go easy on paedos? I've got two little girls. I want them bastards castrated." The reluctance to offend the imagined sensitivities of minorities is both foolish and racist.
- Australia is offering us a free trade deal.🇦🇺 Brazil is offering us a free trade deal.🇧🇷 China is offering us a free trade deal.🇨🇳 The US is offering us a free trade deal.🇺🇸 In fact, the only major economy NOT offering us a free trade deal is the EU.🇪🇺 Time to switch partners?
- Seriously, Remainers, did you think 17.4 million of us didn’t mean it? That it was some sort of joke?
- Just a thought. Given that the roads are empty, shouldn’t councils be taking the opportunity to fix lots of potholes?
- My late mother was in Peking when student mobs smashed statues. She told me about the demented atmosphere of those days, the way respectable people cowered before rioters. I could never quite picture it. Until now.
