Trump claims to have had the Fairford suspects "under investigation". Yet it was a vigilant person from the neighbouring village who alerted the police to suspicious activity. Nothing to do with the US having them "under view" and the US certainly didn't "get them". He's nuts. #Trump

The media is debating whether several hundred masked thugs, many of whom have criminal convictions for violence, swarming across streets is "intimidating". This is the same media who has spent decades telling us that three teenagers on a street corner is unacceptable anti-social behaviour. ffs.

When did society decide that violence against women (and don’t get me started on this “consensual” nonsense) was ever appropriate or acceptable? This isn’t just a matter of education but of morality - which has a place in every society, no matter how “liberal”.

Some outcomes are bigger than politics.
Graphic with a blue background and the headline “Cleaner air. Healthier lungs.” At the top is the Mayor of London logo. A photograph shows two children running along the Thames with Tower Bridge in the background.

Text below reads: “A landmark study by Queen Mary University of London found that, following the introduction of the ULEZ, lung growth in children in Central London accelerated, helping them catch up with children outside the capital.”

At the bottom, the source reads: “Source: thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(26)00163-5/fulltext”

This is of course, a creation of the right & of Brexit, sadly abetted by UK press & media. Brexit led to the departure of EU healthcare staff who'd been popping up the NHS, to be replaced by non-white folk from S Asia & Africa. Switch then gleefully exploited by the same racists who drove Brexit.

The report found "no cronyism or corruption in final contracting decisions" while finding that VIP-lane suppliers were 13 times more likely to win contracts. That is a selection-effect fallacy. Neutrality at the final gate is irrelevant if the queue is rigged. (1)

This, from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Givr, is the what unvarnished evil and inhumanity sounds like: "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese must weep." When you dehumanize other people to this degree, there's no limit to the atrocities you'll carry out.

Sickening to see journalists now pivoting to "the human tragedy" of Starmer’s resignation. The media built the gallows, gave Burnham's arrogant camp a free pass to leak and destroy a decent man, and now they want credit for feeling bad as he breaks down? A total joke.

As a member of the London Assembly (with responsibility for an emergency service) and leader of a national party, your disdain for the assault on two members of the police, engaged in their lawful duties, is both remarkable and shocking. Direct action should not involve violence.

If it wasn't already clear to you, #TonyBlair 's latest intervention underlines how he's now bought & paid for by Trump. His judgement shows this. Keir Starmer must respectfully remind him of the culpability he bears for the ongoing unrest in the Middle East & how badly his judgement failed him.

So if you’ve bought a house next to a field or a bit of open space, get a Land Registry alert on it. It’s free and you don’t need to own the property. It gives you an early warning if anybody applies to change boundaries or easements. Not foolproof but it helps.
