"A renowned Westminster comms pro", "Expertly tailored and magnificently eccentric" "simultaneously energetic and somewhat freewheeling" - Guardian
The police chief whose force effectively set up the confrontation between Stand Up to Racism activists and Epping residents? That would be Ben-Julian Harrington of Essex Police. The force further justified the move, saying they have "a reasonable duty to protect people who want…
Labour and Conservatives have left us with no police, no prisons and no border control. The Tories let in 6.5 million people over 14 years, barely built any new prisons, waves of unvetted young men, many of whom do not share our values and show no respect for British women or…
Next up at just past 8. Talking stuff with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg on @GBNEWS Sadiq’s odd art fixation, business going cold on global warming and, inevitably, immigration.
'I cannot conceive of anything more splendid than that your Grace should be executed on Tower Hill...I crave the honour of it for you and that I should live to be there, so that I might plunge my handkerchief in your blood' Lord Halifax to the Archbishop of York
Sounds absolutely splendid
This book is full of dry humour: 'Few bishops, if any, shared the common Anglo-Catholic view that martyrdom was an appropriate climax to an episcopal career'.
A veritable strawberry leaf on the coronet of the House of Lords.
Incredible - in debate on press freedom, no-one mentioned the super-injunction/Afghan scandal. So I did. But, also, despite parliament voting last March to limit foreign state ownership of UK newspapers to 5%, behind our backs this Labour government has raised it to 15% using a…
Madly, I wonder if farmers could use Article 8 of the ECHR to challenge this? Right to a family life? While it is still on the books it might be able to do something useful for once.
It’s almost as if these words from @hmtreasury - which will have been through numerous drafts and committees staffed by taxpayer-funded and generously-pensioned and therefore financially secure staff - are deliberately designed to wind up so many of the UK’s dedicated and hardy…
It's little like a Tory version of Labour being unable to define what a woman is. It's not complicated. Should we leave the ECHR? Yes or No. It isn't a cure all, of course, but without leaving not much else can be done. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
Prax-Lindsey Oil Refinery We are shocked that after just 3 weeks, the Government has given up on the Lindsey Oil Refinery and has instructed the Official Receiver to start winding it down. This appears to be gross negligence about the strategic importance of our 5th largest oil…
Oh dear, I'm not conducive to the public good. I might suggest that pretending everything is fine is far more dangerous to the public good.
“British growers are calling on the Health Secretary to put homegrown fruit and veg at the heart of England’s health revolution—or risk derailing the government’s 10-Year Health Plan before it starts.” farminguk.com/news/back-brit…
Just about to go on with @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live to talk about Angela Rayner's amazing discovery that society is breaking down.
Do you think even he believes a word of this?
One year of foreign policy with purpose. One year of Britain restored on the world stage. One year of improved jobs, growth and security in the UK through a progressive and realist approach to diplomacy.
Police statement on having a duty to protect those who want to exercise their rights. If and only if you support a particular point of view. Change cannot come fast enough. We must have blind justice, no let, no favour. All equall.
Exclusive: Essex Police admit they did escort masked 'Stand Up To Racism' counterprotestors towards the Bell Hotel last Thursday.
We have just heard from the Chief Constable of @northumbriapol. After consideration with her lawyers, she is not appealing the ruling. Total victory is ours, @RightNUFC.
MikeTappTweets has mentioned Nigel Farage in 46 posts on X. He has expressed sympathy or support for rape victims of foreign migrants in 0 posts.
The Tory reshuffle makes it clear, Kemi is looking for clear blue water between them and Teform, by tacking hard to the centre. Good oh
Looking forward to speaking to the Vote Leave alumni group tonight. The fight for sovereignty never ends.
