    “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”. Have you even said thank you once?

    Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

    Oh, so the police *can* drive through protesters. Note for the next time the motorways are blocked by Certain Activists….

    Is there any controversy in thinking that if you can go home on holiday you should no longer be considered an asylum seeker?

    Upon entering iraq, all westerners have to sit and get their E-Visa processed. I'm in this queue with 30 men. I'm the only white one, everyone else is iraqi on european refugee passports. They have refugee status in the UK, and are back home in Iraq for a holiday.

    “your actions were the antithesis of everything Paddington stands for” An actual quote from an actual judge in an actual trial.

    Two RAF engineers have been convicted of vandalising the Newbury Paddington bench. The judge told them the fictional bear ‘promotes integration and acceptance in our society... your actions were the antithesis of everything Paddington stands for’ 💀

    I felt sick reading this multiple times. And angry. And devastated. But for some reason it was the judge policing this woman’s language and telling her to use “sex scene” and not “rape” that tripped something in me. She can call her abuse whatever she damn-well likes.

    This story is completely haunting. So many men lined up to have sex with an unconscious women — and one of them was her neighbour. Even the three who walked away did not report it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

    Um, good? You’re obviously not an asylum seeker if you can go home.

    This gets worse and worse and worse the further the story goes. This girl was assaulted, in the presence of the police, who took the assailant outside and then let him go without even taking his details and then tried to pressure the girl into dropping the case.

    So even when the first generation of your family moves to Britain in 1715, you are forever defined as an immigrant family? Are you sure that’s the argument you want to make?

    This is bigger than a “diplomatic row”, this is the British Foreign Secretary calling the total ethnic cleansing of an ancient Christian population of the Middle East / Caucasus a “liberation”. No, Foreign Secretary, it was a War Crime.

    So let me get this straight: the prosecution of members of the IRA-honouring band, Kneecap, fell apart because the former lawyer for Gerry Adams failed to approve the prosecution until one day (1) after the six month window to do so?

    A high profile terrorism prosecution has collapsed, apparently due to a catastrophic failure by the authorities. The public deserves answers, not excuses, from the Attorney General. Now. My letter to Lord Hermer👇
