What happened at Bondi Beach was an atrocity, but words of solidarity are not enough. We know the evil we face. Islamic extremism is a threat to western civilisation. It abuses our democracies and subverts our institutions. It is incompatible with British values. It is not

"Hostile vehicles"
Big changes for Birmingham city centre! 🚧 We’ve installed hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) bollards and upgraded CCTV at strategic locations to keep everyone safe in the city centre. These measures stop hostile vehicles from entering pedestrian areas, so you can enjoy the

I’ve been choking up at these words by Matilda’s father Michael (as reported by The Guardian): ‘“We came here from the Ukraine…and I named her Matilda because she was our firstborn in Australia. And I thought that Matilda was the most Australian name that could ever exist. So

Let’s be clear: anyone who would murder a 10-year-old girl would not hesitate to kill any of us. Few things are black and white as this, but this is good vs. evil. It’s Western civilization vs. an Islamist death cult. Which side do you choose?
The mother of 10 year old Matilda who was murdered at Bondi beach just spoke. She can’t get the image of the terrorist aiming at her child and firing out of her head and heart. It wasn’t an accident. He fired at her. This is unbearable to watch.

“Communist China’s war on the U.S. has already begun. The trick is that Beijing is trying to make sure Americans never realize they’re under attack.” My latest with @john_walters_ for @HudsonInstitute

From foreign investments to TikTok algorithms, Beijing is diminishing American power and hoping we don’t notice, write Nikki R. Haley and John P. Walters.

I’d prefer to live in a country where we didn’t need bollards to stop savages ramming innocent people.

Just ten MPs have signed my parliamentary motion urging robust action on Islamist extremism. Ten. Three Tories, two independents and five Northern Irish. Oh dear. We are in a very deep, and a very dark hole.

SHOCKING: Bondi survivor Vanessa Miller was separated from her three-year-old daughter and pinned down by gunfire. She told @Erin_Molan that she tried to grab the gun of a critically injured officer to suppress the terrorists, but other officers—rather than returning fire
If the police had heeded the pleas of Australian Jews, and arrested, investigated & charged or deported the “Gas the Jews” marchers, 15 innocents would still be alive, and Bondi would still be famous as an iconic beach—not as a massacre site. But they chose to pander to jihadis.

Home ownership prospects slip ever further waway from 18-24 year olds as nonsensical Labour policies mean ever fewer jobs for them. Unemployment rate now 13.4% among the young. Raise minimum wage, get fewer jobs, and more people reliant on the state, every time.
The UK unemployment rate rose to 5.1% in the three months to October, while the jobless rate for 18- to 24-year-olds climbed to 13.4% in the same period https://t.co/fR9UVpRRoG

I read that schoolboys will be sent on courses to tackle 'misogyny'. Schoolboys aren't the threat. Importing countless young men from third world cultures that treat women like dirt is the threat. Forcing this ridiculous guilt on decent young lads is truly despicable.

Dear @BBCNews I was in Israel during both Intifadas. I saw the violence first hand. Suicide bombings, petrol bombs and mass stabbings are not benign. Calling this “mostly unarmed” is to sanitise Islamic terrorism. Do you have any real journalists left? Asking for a friend.

How can anyone look at this image of illegal migrants - just a handful of the 40,000 undocumented young males who broke into our country this year - and not shudder at the peril we are storing up for our children? They must all be deported.

Best startup in the UK
Keir Starmer has proved to be completely USELESS — but he’s been a great recruiter for @SpeechUnion. This is the most AUTHORITARIAN government in a generation, and more and more people are concerned that their right to free speech is under attack. We’ve grown from 14,000

And he knows what he's talking about!
🚨THE HEALTH SECRETARY KNOWS THE BILL ISN’T SAFE! Watch Wes Streeting, a prominent opponent of assisted suicide, admit the country “at present” is not in a place where assisted suicide can be safely introduced. His initial silence speaks volumes!

Attack forgotten, we move on, and now we just wait for the next horrific killing. My view is that we should act before the Islamist extremists, and that’s what my parliamentary motion is calling for. Deportations. Closing off visa routes. Dismantling networks. Action.
