It’s being reported that a Gloucestershire farmer contacted the police when she saw a gang of men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas near that air base. Well done to her. If we all do this then it has the potential to become rather funny very quickly.

Hosepipe bans are caused by organised foreign criminal gangs pumping British water into the English Channel to allow them to float bigger boats across carrying higher numbers of asylum seekers. It’s a vicious circle metro.co.uk/2026/08/16/r...

I’m longing for the day when the Government starts to shout from the rooftops that with an ageing population, minimal increases in GDP and care services in crisis, that immigrants are a large part of the solution to these issues and opens up safe and legal routes again

I absolutely love the Azteca Stadium in Mexico. That goal Brazil scored when I was just 8 years old opened my eyes to what a beautiful game football could be. The tiny figure of Maradona leaping above Shilton to score a perfectly headed goal in 1984 was a great sight for a Scotland fan to see

good thread on where the centre right has gone - would also add that the '10-'24 centre-right people have mostly left politics now, as many were always going to do as politics is quite generational, but there just isn't a new generation of post-Cameroons willing to pick up those fights

The Sikh community are not to blame for what happened to Henry Nowak. His murderer will - rightly - face over 20 years in jail and there are other charges pending for those alleged to have aided him. That responsibility sits on their shoulders alone.

The upward pressure on taxes is added to by the inevitability of unwinding the extremes of austerity for public services reached in 2018 - a level of austerity that was politically, economically and socially unsustainable.

It’s okay for the Tories/Times/Telegraph to pretend that taxes are up “because of welfare”. That’s politics. But if you care about policy you need to understand that is a long way from the truth - and wrestle with the consequences

Eighteen months or so ago we voted for change - a change from the right wing policies of Sunak, Truss, Jenrick, Patel, Braverman and Patel. If Labour are to win the next election they must recognise that and start to enact a centre-left programme and, dare I say it, be a little radical
