I’ve been saying this for a couple of years now. The French get it. Several other countries have done it in the past few years. So why don’t we?🤔

A "printing error", you say?
ory spokesman gets in touch:

“Obviously our slight printing error is much, much worse than the £500 billion that net zero is costing the economy.

"Britain going bankrupt is a trifling matter, as long as we all have heat pumps and EV chargers."

60% of those who responded to the Bank of England consultation called for pictures of wildlife on bank notes. Does he think the British people are conducting a "slow, steady and relentless attack" on themselves?

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The judge said: “The fact that the search warrants were quashed does not bring the investigation to an end or mean that the whole of the investigation is unlawful.” Andrew has won a technical point on a police procedural mistake - fair enough, but it doesn't change the fact he is a nonce.

Reform UK Councillor in Leicestershire County Council has called for the RNLI to be prosecuted for carrying out their duty first laid out in 1824. Joseph Boam was ditched as Deputy Leader of the Council by Dan Harrison, and it’s clear why. Now it’s time he’s ditched as a councillor.
