Given his track record of back stabbing the Kurds, Ukrainians, Canadians and Greenlanders one would have to be an idiot to assume that this time it is different.

I am half expecting Trump to encourage all neighbouring states to take their preferred bite out of Iran and leave it as much smaller, more Perisian state.

The sight of Matt Goodwin being sad has understandably galvanised the nation to make it happen some more

They have spent years screaming at Tony Blair for joining the US in Iraq and are now contorting themselves into knots to scream at Keir Starmer for not joining the US in Iran

It is difficukt to imagine a government more easy to beat than the Tories in 2024.

A true measure of a strategist's genius is how they manage a Liz Kendall leadership bid.

If I understand correctly, Badenoch and Farage want us to go to a war caused by Trump's feelings.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look

Suspect this has a lot to do with him being de-selected by his local party in favour of an Asian woman.

It’s March 4, 2026. Is a pedophile still president of the United States?

Yes.

Local Reform says they are comservative. As befits a former Tory councillor.

The pro-Reform bots infesting social media cannot stand while the actual keyboard warriors are exactly that.

Not least because Trump has already betrayed Afghanistan, the Kurds, Ukraine, Greenland, Canada and Iranians earlier this year.

No Irainian in their right mind would rely on Trump's support beyond his next nap.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

The whole Sunni-Shia hostility thing has been greatly overegged by orientalism. Its is a great shorthand excuse for not bothering to get to grips with a bunch of other stuff that is far more important.

Like describing 'The Troubles' as a conflict about relgion.

Applicants must also provide NI numbers.

The risk of non secret voting is however, much greater than with PVs. I have been told of first hand accounts of some horror stories in this respect.

Rapid daylight gains. Every day we’re gaining 3 minutes 52 seconds of daylight in London and therefore ~28 minutes every week. Not far away from max rate which is 3 minutes 58 seconds through mid March.

The government has made a generation-defining move: wiping 90% of SEND debt built up by councilsΒ 

Clearing debts built up to serve SEND needs allows the council to use its reserves to fund local services and help local familiesΒ

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account:

Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and
gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police.

Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

Incredible news about the Reform UK Chair for Bath, Tim Nott.

He likes to dress as a Nazi, and has an interesting chest tattoo…

There’s reenactment, and there’s dressing as Himmler’s SS.

Our key economic indicators are flashing green.
Data today on tax revenues, borrowing falls and growth are all positive.

Coverage of our politics is increasingly breathless but when you take a step back - there is mounting evidence that the plan for the economy is working.
