I’m demanding a stronger Royal Navy. You wish to dismantle Britain’s defences. You have zero interest in military matters. I think we’ll leave it to others to decide who is more ridiculous.
Nothing more ridiculous than a tired Unionist trying to sound robust on defence when they said this just two weeks ago.

For the avoidance of doubt (since some have been asking), the 800 on the Scottish public payroll without proper jobs does NOT include the 129 MSPs in Holyrood 🤣🤣🤣
Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland: 800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy. Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year. One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job. The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid. Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.

And yet he wants us to pay Mauritius to take the British owned Chagos Islands - Mauritius a country relying on China for so much - it really does make you wonder whose side some people are on ?

The UK government has, since April, spent no less than £61 billion - that’s £61,000,000,000 - on debt interest payments. That’s equivalent to our entire annual defence budget - on just half a year’s worth of debt service costs, not paying back a penny of our national debt. For £61bn you could build 40 state-of-the-art hospitals. Or employ 100,000 nurses for a decade Or fund free-at-the-point-of-use social care, across the entire UK, for three years. Watch this short “When The Facts Change” video for more on the UK’s soaring debt interest bill - the biggest national scandal our mainstream media continues to ignore.

Since I wrote and filed this last night Fintan Slye, who’s remuneration is almost £1m/year to run state-owned Neso, the organisation responsible for managing Britain’s power system, told staff he was “disappointed” in himself and “should have fixed” the problems before an independent report raised them. There’s still a widespread feeling in Neso that he puts carrying out the government’s net zero wishes/obsessions way above the concerns of his staff.

'Get over it': Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry's message on concerns about reopening 'divisive' Brexit debates. Thornberry tells @CathyNewman that the UK could re-join the EU without a second referendum if it was included as a manifesto commitment at a general election.

Andy Burnham keeps dragging us back to the Brexit referendum, claiming Russian interference, yet has produced no evidence to substantiate it. Now, when challenged, he tries to wriggle out of it by claiming he meant a general election instead. As Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch and Nigel Farage have pointed out, these are two very different things. You cannot make serious claims like this and then dodge around when challenged. For God's sake, Andy Burnham, you're the Prime Minister now, not a student debating in a student common room. Start acting like a Prime Minister. @10DowningStreet
🚨"This was an out-and-out UNTRUTH, a LIE" Sir Iain Duncan Smith says MI5 were very clear there was no interference from Russia in the 2016 EU referendum. @MPIainDS | @jkyleofficial

Wow….. Roddy Dunlop, one of Scotland’s leading lawyers has agreed to work for free in a legal fight aimed at exposing why only Peter Murrell was prosecuted in the SNP’s finances scandal. This is momentous.

I am amazed @BillNeelyReport Clearly he now supports the breaking of the law and the protest being led by ex IRA terrorists even singing pro IRA songs last night .For 28 years the OO abided peacefully by the law. Now given the legal right for 35 elderly men to walk silently he supports the SF/IRA lawmakers . Certainly not an independent journalist anymore

Lenny... Slavery has been going on since they built the pyramids In other words, the British didn't start it On the contrary, they were the ones who stopped it You can't just invent history for your own purposes
Lenny Henry has called on the government to give black people and also the Chinese free Netflix subscriptions as part of his reparations for slavery deal saying it’s time to pay it forward

Over the summer, Henry Nowak's final moments were broadcast around the world. He was just eighteen, and when the police reached him on a street in Southampton he would have believed that help had come. He told them he had been stabbed and could not breathe, and they handcuffed and arrested him. I met Henry's family in June, and that meeting has stayed with me ever since. There is still much more to be said about how the police failed Henry, and about how they went on failing his family and loved ones right up until the conviction. The day after we met, I wrote to the then Prime Minister, Keir Starmer asking for an independent, rapid review of the police response, the decisions that followed, and the role of the police watchdog. I didn't publish that letter at the time, because I hoped the Government would do the right thing and I wanted to work with them quietly to make that happen. Downing Street's answer was to wait for the existing processes to run their course. Since then, Keir Starmer has gone and Andy Burnham has taken his place, yet still there is no review. There was little mention of victims in the PM’s speech earlier this week. Henry's family have waited long enough, so today I'm publishing my letter. Andy Burnham should order the review now, and I stand ready to work with him to set it up, as I offered in June. I haven't forgotten Henry, and I won't let this Government forget him either.
