Great to discuss the vital issue of “Ghost Children” and the 140,000 young people missing from our schools since the pandemic on @GBNEWS with the ever thoughtful @Jacob_Rees_Mogg.

- I live in central London and endured 9 months of protests every weekend, of often cavalcades of cars waving flags and shouting out intimidating slogans. Keir Starmer has never taken a stand on my behalf.
- LibDems 3,499,969 votes 71 seats Reform 4,092,209 votes 4 seats This isn't democracy.
- In the Commons today Rishi scored a hit over Keir. Why should a train driver on £65,000 a year get a pay rise of almost £10,000 while a pensioner on £13,000 a has the winter fuel payment removed? Keir Starmer was so discombobulated he called Rishi PM 5 times.
- I made a program on homelessness for R4. Two teens in care told me they couldn’t get a hostel bed — too many migrants. 1 in 3 rough sleepers are migrants. My BBC editor warned: “You’ll never work here again if you talk about immigration.” I insisted. Never did work there again.
- Home Office spends £36m on private boats to pick up Channel migrants. Funny how money’s never a problem when it comes to migrants. Only when it’s to keep an old lady warm does it become an issue.
- Farmers incandescent after their union fails to back a mass demonstration. The NFU says legal issues mean, 'We can’t simply turn up in numbers in Westminster on the streets." Really? Try telling the pro Hamas mob. They've had no trouble for 12 months.
- Starmer is as, ‘guilty as anyone I know’, says grooming gang whistleblower Maggie Oliver ‘I don’t trust a single one of those entrusted with keeping our children safe and prosecuting serial rapists. They’ve failed. Repeatedly. Knowingly. Criminally.’
- Starmer locked up people for calling choir boy Rudakubana a terrorist. Now his security minister confirms he is one.Dan Jarvis, the security minister, confirms Rudakubana was “found guilty of a terrorism-related offence and will therefore be considered as a registered terrorist offender.” So not a Welsh school boy then? Amazing how long it’s taken to find that out. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/0…
- “South Africans rarely even discuss omicron, it’s so mild,” texts a friend from outside Cape Town, “Covid’s become a UK neurosis.”
- Sweden has reduced net migration to zero and cut its refugee intake by 80%. It has done all this while a member of the EU. Despite Brexit, we still fail to control migration because government, Tories and Labour, don’t want to. It’s really that simple.
- Rupert Lowe has crowdfunded over £500,000 from 15,000 people in just ten days to launch a private inquiry into rape gangs reports the Times. You might ask why it’s taken one individual to do what should be the government’s job
- What is the big secret about Starmer that is apparently about to break? I am agog. For sheer entertainment value, Labour is outperforming even the Tories under Boris.
- Denmark’s left wing government has cut asylum claims to just 860. It has done this without leaving the EU or the ECHR. Time our government stopped blaming everyone but itself and got down to the business of making the UK less of an El Dorado destination to migrants.
