I’m pleased that sites in Enfield and Greenwich have been put forward as part of the government’s New Towns program.

This is another step forward in solving London’s acute housing supply crisis.

Reform-friendly influencers are actively calling for the Senedd’s abolition now, even as the party is contesting a seat in it. The Brit-Nat, racist fanatics who shout loudest on social media, however, do not win elections as yet✍️Ben Wildsmith wp.me/p8Mk4U-16WK

Starmer’s had a really productive trip to India. 10,600 jobs secured. Including 200+ for Wales. And huge market opened up for Scotch Whisky. It’s so refreshing to have a PM who consistently delivers for his Country 👏👏👏

I am so sick fed up of Americans trying to claim that they were the original Antifa. You were two years late to WW2 but Antifa started in 1920s Italy so do some bloody reserch!

Hey America,
there is an "ANTIFA - Cemetery" in the Netherlands . . .

... many people in Europe are still grateful for the Americans who lost their lives fighting against the fascists.

The National Archaeological Museum in Naples has a great collection mainly, but not solely, from Herculean and Pompeii. Too many to post here so here are some horses followed by some mosaics. 🧵

The Jokes: "Since Antifa isn't an actual organization there is nobody to target. What a bunch of idiots the administration is"

The Reality: "ANYBODY they don't like will be simply labeled 'Antifa' and are therefore subject to persecution"

This is my Labour Top Ten.

Since July 2024 they have delivered consistently for this country and the ordinary people who voted for them. No wonder the elite are squealing.

Reform UK’s Deputy Chair Paul Nuttall, was an MEP alongside Nathan Gill.

He’s been well known for being pro-Putin, including during his UKIP leadership campaign and his strange condemnation of the EU for not recognising Russia’s Annexation of Crimea.

What does he know about Russian Bribes?

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.

I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only
2 were delivered in 5 years.
Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).
In 1 year.

Antifascims was invented in Italy in the 1920s. Only americans will ignore that italian fascists were fought by italian antifascists and german fascists were fought by german antifascists 2 decades before americans landed in Normandy and claim to have invented antifascism.
