George Williams served with extraordinary bravery across Africa during the First World War, and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal twice.
Read his remarkable story, and learn about an often overlooked campaign, at the link below.
Their service, our history.

I borrowed the video from @WokeratiMarty and boosted the audio so it's absolutely crystal clear how much of a ***** [insert your own expletive] Mike Graham truly is.
@PaulCoxComedy, so-called GB News comedian, contributes with a disgusting remark as @MarkJLittlewood, ex Tufton Street director of the IEA bows his head and chuckles along.
This isn't comedy. It's the gross abuse of a dead man who suffered terribly, for cheap laughs.
Graham has sunk his own career so hard and seems determined to take all those associated with him, down as well.

Liz Truss. "The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair."
The Bank of England was founded on July 27, 1694.
I didn’t know Tony Blair was that old.

A pity this wasn’t highlighted in the media headlines on why he thinks wealthy people are leaving the country.
‼️ Jim Ratcliffe:
🔹 Backed Brexit
🔹 Moved his tax residence to Monaco
🔹 Abandoned plans to build the British 🇬🇧 Grenadier in Wales and moved production to France
🔹 Now lectures Britain from Denmark about why the country is on the slide
And who does he blame? Immigrants and people on benefits.
The billionaires who helped hollow Britain out always point down, never at Brexit, tax flight, chronic underinvestment or their own decisions.
*Toughness* seems to mean somebody poorer paying the price.

First and foremost, what we pay Norway and what we pay for Oil from U.K. grounds, is the same; similar quality of oil, same global pricing. Secondly, you say “our” oil - once it’s out of the ground it belongs to Shell plc, BP, Equinor and TotalEnergies. None of these are nationalised assets and they are free to trade as they wish - in fact most of “our” oil is exported. The U.K. benefits from tax on profits and licence fees.
So tell me, how is taking more oil from our oil fields going to help with energy security and lower prices? And even if we did, where are we going to refine it. Refineries such as those operated by Phillips 66 (Humber) and ExxonMobil (Fawley) are designed to run efficiently on specific crude blends.
To optimise output they need:
•Heavier crude oils
•Different sulphur levels
•Particular chemical compositions
U.K. fields produce higher quality “sweet/light” crude for cars, etc but we export it for refining. Light crude naturally produces more petrol and jet fuel, while heavy crude (which we don’t have in the North Sea) provides the raw material for diesel, asphalt, heavy fuels, lubricants, and petrochemical feedstocks after additional refining.
Which all said means
1) Not all oil is the same
2) You need to refine oil after it’s landed
3) Oil is subject to global pricing
4) Once out of the ground, it belongs to the drilling companies not the U.K.
If you want energy security, then you have to have multiple sources…. We are taught this lesson about every ten years but govt after govt continues to make the same mistakes.

Does Badenoch understand that many people on Housing Benefit DO work, but wages are so low, and rents so high, that they need the benefit in order to manage?
'You should aspire to live wherever you want to live, but you shouldn't aspire for the government, i.e. other taxpayers, to pay for you to live wherever you want to'
Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch told #BBCBreakfast she would target housing allowance as one of the measures to reduce spending on welfare

This is pretty awful of Nick Ferrari to say about one of Britain’s most loved charities...RNLI risk their OWN life to help others get to safety no matter who they are.
Does Nick say things like this on @thismorning @ITV ?
They are life savers..not border control. Horrible to target them and put down these heroes like this
'Do you want to raise funds for what is now turning into a taxi service?'
@NickFerrariLBC asks listeners how they feel about the RNLI being tasked with intercepting migrant crossings.

Great work BA and Heathrow 😡 Nine hours and counting sitting on a plane which has travelled nowhere. At a remote parking bay, no food throughout, and mother/baby and a person with a medical condition desperate to get off. As is everyone else. Toilets no longer available as blocked. No sign of steps or buses. And that’s before the wait for luggage. Pathetic and dangerous lack of corporate contingency and responsibility.

This is a disgraceful comment from @NickFerrariLBC at a time when the brave volunteers of the @RNLI are being targeted by far right thugs.

Shame on you, @NickFerrariLBC
An even bigger shame falls on LBC for spreading misinformation, fueling hatred, and publicly humiliating an organization like the RNLI.
Please donate and show that you do not think like Nick Ferrari and LBC.

I haven't had a chance to watch #bbclaurak yet this morning, but it appears Farage has been allowed to lie his way through another BBC interview, utterly unchecked.
He was NOT told by counterterror police or any other police force, to stay away from the stage at Reform conference.
Just a plain old lie that was fact-checked by West Mids police yesterday afternoon.
Laura Kuenssberg knew this was a lie when she interviewed him but made a decision to allow the lie to pass.
What happened to ethics? Where has the BBC gone wrong?
Shocking.

Trump just posted this AI video of himself replacing the Lake Ontario sign with a “Lake America” sign.
I’ll never understand how 77 million people voted for this buffoon.

Hi @TiceRichard you shared this graphic about Reform UK on Bradford Council.
Some slight issues, in fact, some major ones:
- Union Flag: Already flown daily from council buildings before Reform UK took control. Not a new achievement.
- Council finances: Major capital and financial reviews were already planned or underway before Reform UK took control.
- Sugden End HWRC: Reopening has not been delivered. It remains a proposal awaiting formal approval.
- Grooming gangs inquiry: Bradford had already committed to participating. The independent inquiry does not say Reform UK “secured” Bradford’s inclusion.
- Devolving power locally: Vague. No specific transfer of powers, functions or budgets is identified.
- Bingley Pool: The campaign long predates Reform UK and involved residents, community groups and councillors across parties. The pause was not solely a Reform UK initiative.
- Wind farm: Opposing a proposed wind farm is a political position, not a delivered achievement.
- City-centre ASB: Action and funding to tackle ASB were already underway, including £450,000 for a City Centre Team approved before Reform UK took control.
- Homelessness: Rough-sleeping and homelessness programmes, funding and new accommodation initiatives were already underway before Reform UK took control.
- Local Plan: Inherited. The timetable was adopted in 2025 and the council had already committed to progressing it in January 2026.
- £3.1m potholes: The £3.19m was Bradford’s allocation from a wider West Yorkshire highways package originating from Department for Transport funding, not money Reform UK independently “secured”.
- Bradford Business Conference: An announced conference may be a new initiative, but announcing an event “to attract investment” is not the same as actually attracting new investment.

These people have no shame.
Nigel Farage — Fee paying — Dulwich College
Richard Tice — Fee paying — Uppingham School
Robert Jenrick — Fee paying — Wolverhampton Grammar School
Danny Kruger — Fee paying — Eton College
Suella Braverman — Fee paying — Heathfield School
Sarah Pochin — Fee paying — Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Girls
Zia Yusuf — Fee paying — Hampton School
For too long Westminster has run on who you know and what school you went to.
That's how Britain got the rotten political class it has.
Reform is doing it differently.

Footballers during the World Cup had hydration breaks every 25 minutes. Meanwhile, firefighters are working in scorching temperatures for hours at a time.
We need 5,000 more firefighters, backed up by access to proper welfare and PPE.

Robert Jenrick accused of spreading doctored 'stop the boats' recording of Labour MP - as party blame Guido Fawkes lbc.co.uk/article/robert-jen…
David Ward retweeted
Robert Jenrick and Reform just got caught sharing a deliberately edited clip of Jo White that flipped her words from “I don’t care who stops the boats, my priority is stopping them” into “I don’t care if we stop the boats.”
They posted it. Got exposed. Quietly deleted it. Zero apology. Zero correction.
If Labour or the Tories had done this to a Reform MP, Zia Yusuf, Jenrick and the entire machine would be screaming “disinformation”, “smear”, “dangerous rhetoric” and demanding resignations.
