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.

Putin has gotten very good at reading and playing Trump. Just when Trump appears to pull away and support Ukraine, Putin lures him back with the promise of an in-person meeting and opportunity to sit down and discuss carving up a part of Europe like great powers of a bygone era.

Trump says he is going to meet Putin in Budapest. Looks like we are back to where we were before Alaska – the US is backing down from attempts to get tougher on Russia and back Ukraine more in favor of a so far illusory peace deal

Just remember - Jews were banned from a football match for their own safety under a Labour PCC and a Labour govt. No-one should forget this. They're unfit for public office. #ProgressivismEqualsRegression

Jewish football fans not allowed to come to the UK because locals can’t be trusted to not behave like savages.

Last week I was attacked for pointing out that parts of Birmingham were a failure of integration. But now Israeli football fans are banned from watching their team play at Villa Park as the police can’t guarantee their safety. Maybe I wasn’t wrong after all.

Ukraine has used long-range drone strikes against Russian energy infrastructure to undercut Russia’s economy and try to bring Moscow to the negotiating table.

Genuinely shocking. A Labour MP told me the ECHR is the reason we have trial by jury and freedom of speech and that it’s how we interpret British law. They actually think our rights come from Strasbourg. They don’t know that these are British principles.They don’t understand our
