🇬🇧Solidarity with British Jews. My heritage on my father’s side. They’ve contributed hugely to the British way of life; our history, prosperity and values, with achievements in all fields, and continue to do so. Red white & blue flowers. Forget-me-nots in remembrance of October

I’ve known @RupertLowe10 for 45+ years. Worked for him years ago, the only girl in the office. He’s old school, the consummate gentleman. Courteous, clever, driven, humorous, humane. A patriot and idealist. A family man with a happy, close family. He’s found his vocation as an

I am disappointed, but not surprised, to read Reform’s untrue and false allegations. Let me be abundantly clear - this investigation is based on zero credible evidence against me, as has been repeatedly stated by the neutral investigator. None has been provided. I have

The female presenter continues to refer to the drama series ‘Adolescence’ as ‘a documentary’. The male presenter is appalled by Badenoch’s reference to ‘Casualty’. BBC staff are confusing truth with fiction. Perhaps @mariannaspring and the BBCVerify unit could enlighten them.

Confused… David Lammy goes to Israel. The day before yesterday he said a deal on the hostages and a ceasefire was just within reach. Yesterday we learn PM Netanyahu refused to meet with him. Today he says the Middle East is close to all out war. Does he have a clue? @TimesRadio

The irony of a bunch of middle class white people joking about Lady Hussey's disabled husband. His leg amputated after his wounding + capture at the battle of Anzio in WW2. His disability amusing to those who shriek hysterically over alleged racism. A grim few days on UK Twitter.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hinted at possible tax rises for those who own shares and assets, saying they do not fit his definition of "working people". He spoke to Sky's @BethRigby ⬇️ trib.al/tfELRrO

Who’s surprised Starmer’s a creep/hypocrite/liar/ruthless? We knew from #Durhamgate Beer & Curry party in plain sight + photo evidence, lies about Rayner’s presence + numbers attending, a whistleblower in the Sunday Times admitting staff were p*ssed. Mysteriously Covid

Dahlias. I’ve never known a year like it. They’ve gone on and on. I can cut them to use in the house and in church, without making a dent in the joyous bushes of them in our flower beds. I must plant more in 2026.

Jess Phillips is a total fraud. That’s the most polite I can be.

I don’t care if they drank at their place of work 365 days a year, or if work bubbles took part in bloody zoom quizzes. I do care that unelected media hacks edit, omit + delay leaked stories, in determined bid to change a PM I voted for. They won’t stop at just the PM. Stand fast

I can’t quite believe I’m blocking Larry the No10 cat, but sadly the human being who purports to speak for him has transitioned the account from being whimsical to political, from jolly to partisan and now just to insufferable bore. Such a shame, but too irritating to endure.

It was not “clearly satirical”. That may have been clear to you but not others; it was grossly irresponsible language from a professional journalist, and you deleted it eventually. My sympathy is reserved for the family of the dead bystander, and the two other actual victims in

This is the scale of the humiliation of UK media. None of them; Peston, Rigby, Brand, Crerar, Sopel et al, scrutinised these Labour clowns or their plans before the GE. Depriving the electorate of proper journalism. No tough interviewing, the easiest of rides. Now here we are👇🏼

Here is the scale of the government’s humiliation tonight. A week ago Downing St was warning any Labour MP who was thinking of not voting for the welfare reform that they would never get a job on the payroll. As late as Wednesday the Treasury insisted there would be no

The most grotesque news story I’ve seen on here in a long while. Obscene. Absolutely obscene. The deliberate factory production of children. Brought into the world with established tragedy in their lives. The absence of their birth mother. A truly repellent, evil prospect.
