I don't usually post personal stuff, but my beautiful little companion, Holly, has passed away today. Time goes so quickly. Cherish every moment you have with your loved ones, human and furry.

- Starmer after the riots: FAR RIGHT. FAR RIGHT. FAR RIGHT. Starmer all this week: FARAGE. RACIST. THE ENEMY. FAR RIGHT. Starmer after Jews were murdered: No mention of any ideology.
- One of the other things the Lucy Connolly release has revealed is just how much into body shaming the #BeKind left are.Do they make the porridge with double cream and sugar?
- If a Tory frontbencher had tweeted the equivalent of what Jess Phillips tweeted tonight, it would’ve been an instant resignation matter.
- I won’t shy away from calling this what it is: Far-left thuggery.Hate marches in the UK need to end. This is just unbearable to witness after this week.
- Three girls were stabbed to death in Southport just over a month ago, 10 were injured, most of whom were children. Since then, Starmer has barely said anything about knife crime, but he's had a lot to say about smoking outdoors. To call this govt tone deaf is an understatement.
- British journalist sits in a city that could be attacked within weeks, and the first thing he asks in the presence of the Ukrainian President is about Downing Street parties. I cannot stress enough how utterly distasteful and disrespectful that is. We have a ludicrous media.🤬
- The silence from Starmer, Labour, Ed Davey & the Lib Dems, the BBC, the police, the Glastonbury festival organisers says it all. Never forget this. #HateFestival
- This is why the West is divided. The left no longer regard the opposition as legitimate competitors in a democracy. You either believe in their way or you're 'dangerous' and a threat. The only thing that's 'dangerous' is this authoritarian attitude.🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the right-wing politics of Reform UK and Nigel Farage is ‘dangerous’ ‘We have to be ready for this test.’
00:00 - If this isn't inflammatory, I don't know what is. Disgusting.'Is Nigel Farage racist?' 'I think Nigel Farage is actually almost worse than that', Shabana Mahmood tells @harry_horton
00:00 - I got an early taster of just how thin-skinned Keir Starmer is. Before the 2019 GE, I quoted him the part of the Labour 2017 manifesto that promised to end free movement with the EU - a promise that he got Corbyn to drop. I just sent him the quote. He blocked me.
- This country has spent over £300-400 billion on the cost of lockdowns, and £150 billion on an energy support package. Yet the MSM and the technocratic elite want you to believe a £2 billion tax cut policy is the problem. Dishonesty and misinformation at its absolute worst.
- Rayner just recently resigned in disgrace, and now she thinks she should be PM. Utterly shameless.🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Angela Rayner is already offering Cabinet roles to MPs in exchange for their support, The Telegraph has been told. Read more: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
- David Lammy legs it out of the Commons even though there's an Urgent Question on the Chagos Islands. He's totally out of his depth.
