The Labour Government is seeking to reject all the Lords amendments on the #Chagos surrender in the Commons. Why is Starmer in such a rush? Why is he not listening to the Chagossians, to the defence experts, to the environmentalists? https://t.co/aLgSOPhXEi

Today James O'Brien referred to @Nigel_Farage as "Nigel 'Gas Chambers' Farage". Later in the program he said Farage had been "a racist from the very start of his career". Surely there must be some redress to this utter bollocks? I mean, given he spent 6 or 7 shows supporting

Not very long ago, young women’s safety was ‘a right-wing bandwagon’.
Free speech is not the freedom to violate consent. Young women's images are not public property, and their safety is not up for debate. I welcome that X is now acting to ensure full compliance with UK law – it must happen immediately. If we need to strengthen existing laws

It’s going to be so sad when the government takes over Great Western Railways. Easily the classiest, best looking trains on the network. Soon this elegant livery will be replaced by the tacky eurovision-britpop style GBR branding. What a downgrade.

I have found the time to re-arrange part of the library of the late, great Sir Roger Scruton, kindly donated to Oldspeak Bookshop by his estate. These shelves hold the very books that shaped one of the 20th century's most profound conservative thinkers: philosophy, beauty,

Gary Neville is the very definition of a champagne socialist: his restaurant collapses, leaving a reported £519k unpaid HMRC tax bill, and an insolvency loophole dumps the cost on the taxpayer, while a man worth £70–£100m walks away.

I'm pleased to report a big local win. I was informed by multiple whistleblowers that our local NHS hospital, the James Paget, had changed course to serve halal only meat in its catering facilities. Shockingly, no proper meat was available. Of course, I immediately took this

Bear in mind that Westminster is legislating to force Wales to also provide assisted deaths on the NHS and Falconer allies were huffing and puffing that a 90 minute debate on the Welsh impacts was excessive!
At the Senedd yesterday and spoke to BBC's Gareth Lewis about clinician concerns here in Wales about the Terminally Ill Adults Bill being discussed in Westminster at present. Over 250 of us have written an open letter to Members of Senedd outlining key concerns. Article ⏬

This is awkward. @energygovuk has deleted this tweet claiming offshore wind is 40% lower than new gas, but Ministers and Labour MPs are still out there quoting it like gospel. 🤔

Labour’s plan to green-light the Chinese spy-hub super-embassy is a threat to our country’s national security. They have withheld the full plans from the planning inquiry in their desperate attempt to kowtow to China.

Confirmed—and in the most forceful language I have ever seen the APM use on this subject. “Lord Falconer cited, and misrepresented, expert evidence presented…by the Association for Palliative Medicine.”
The @APMPostTweets has issued a statement on a misrepresentation by Lord Falconer last Friday with regard to the safeguard of panels in assisted dying.

Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of history will know revolutions almost always involve foreign interference (google it). Sure Israel and America would benefit from an Iran not run by a deeply antisemitic Islamic theocracy that besmirches the name of Islam. And the UK. And

The United States, Canada, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Australia have officially designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. The UK has so far refused to do so, leaving us vulnerable.
