And maybe, just maybe, if he is going to murder Venezuelan drug runners in Venezuelan waters, he should make sure they aren't actually unarmed and drug less Columbian fisherman adrift in Columbian waters flying a distress signal due to a failed engine? Just what Hellfire missiles are designed for.

Well done Keir Starmer. Utterly predictable. You now find yourself on the same side as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who has just said he will be attending the Aston Villa match to "support" Maccabi Tel Aviv. Result? Many more police needed, and almost guaranteed violence. @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social

The Home Secretary has the powers to issue a Formal Exclusion Order in relation to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon on the grounds of serious criminal activity or threats to national security,

Perhaps it’s time to use these powers.

Hello @ec.europa.eu,

You are still investigating whether X spreads lies and far-right propaganda, but you know all too well that Musk actively supports the fascist Tommy Robinson and the far-right AfD. How much evidence do you need?

#BanX if you don't want the far right to take over Europe!

Far-Right Activist Says Elon Musk Is Bankrolling His Trial Defense

Musk recently appeared by videolink at a massive London rally hosted by the anti-Islam activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

Take back control of immigration.. #RejoinEU

Some 41% of the public say they would prefer “Britain’s immigration policy prior to leaving the European Union” versus just 19% who want “Britain’s current immigration policy,implemented since leaving the EU,”

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system

The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

SPOILER ALERT: The number one reason for voting Brexit was to "control our borders".
"Asked if there were any examples where Brexit has helped the UK 'control our borders', both the Border Security Commander Martin Hewitt and the Director General of the National Crime Agency Rob Jones were stumped.”

I worked on European projects and met with a diverse nationality group in cities across Europe. They always sought ot local specialities and activities to share. I was pleased to be the only Brit and to go with the flow.

Appalling report on the BBC letting us know that Prince Andrew is still a great father and family man. Can you imagine the same accusations for an immigrant with the same charges and proven lies. The BBC is out of control.

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.
