All relief flights from Dubai should be met at arrivals with signs saying "HM Revenue & Customs welcomes you back to the UK"
I think Starmer has just ended his leadership of the labour party
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Hospital admissions of young people for knife assault have almost halved since I set up London’s Violence Reduction Unit in 2019.
London's Violence Reduction Unit director Lib Peck spoke to The Crime Agents about how prevention has played a key role in the progress we’re making:
From a reliable source.

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.
Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
Jim Ratcliffe has my full support. Anyone who lies about population figures, claims £120m in public money for his own company after paying no UK tax at all, while immigrants pay at least £15bn is my kind of guy!
Going to go out on a limb and suggest that, as evidenced by motorway billboards up and down the land, a large proportion of farmers voted for Brexit and will vote for Reform. I would expect farmers, of all people, to understand: you reap what you sow…
Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to…

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
History repeating itself?
UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.
Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.
Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.
I currently have two cardiologists from Ningxia Province shadowing me for three months, on a state-sponsored visit to the UK to learn about our (often dysfunctional) healthcare system. It has been absolutely fascinating talking to them, and has reminded me what we do well in the UK >
Hillary was right about everything….
Part 2 - the Speech
“Imagine that you see the wretched strangers…
their babies at their backs…
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation.”
Then the turn of the blade:
If you were forced from your home,
would you be pleased to find
“a nation of such barbarians?”
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Starmer - you had it all at your feet, the country was desperate for change and for ordinary people you delivered little in the way of tangible relief from 14 years of Tory misery.
That is why you have failed.
