Kathy Gyngell: Britain has an economic illiteracy problem…
Britain has an economic illiteracy problem. British politicians and #MSM must stop dumping on America as the source of all Britain’s problems and start looking West for solutions if we are ever to get growth and prosperity back.

Liz Webster: A country that can’t manufacture…
A country that can’t manufacture, has sold off its utilities, and depends on imports for essentials is bankrupt and exposed. Brexit squandered sovereignty. It stripped away shared resilience with the EU and since then we’ve weakened farming, fishing and industry at home. https://autocar.co.uk/opinion/business-manufacturing/brexit-still-battering-uk-car-industry-10-years-later

Diane Abbott: Rachel Reeves is right on this…
Rachel Reeves is right on this. Iranians will pay in blood and enormous daamage to their country. And the rest of will pay in higher prices, shortages and lower living standards. So, why help the US war effort? Reeves condemns Iran war as a folly

Patrick Henningsen: If you think about it, absolutely NOTHING…
If you think about it, absolutely NOTHING Donald Trump has done on the last 14 months is pro American. It’s been exclusively pro Trump, pro oligarch/Epstein class, and pro Israel.

Deborah Haynes: So... business as usual inside government...
So... business as usual inside government it would seem despite the extraordinary intervention on the state of defence by Lord George Robertson - a Labour peer and author of Sir Keir Starmer's own defence review - to try to make ministers genuinely get the country ready for war instead of just talking about it. Instead, at Prime Prime Minister's Questions, @Keir_Starmer : - dismissed carefully considered and articulated criticism by Lord Robertson that there was a "corrosive complacency" on defence as incorrect. "My responsibility is to keep the British people safe and that is a duty I take seriously. That is why I don't agree with his comments", Starmer told MPs - doubled down on previous commitments - widely regarded by defence insiders as insufficient and far too slow to fix the hollowed out armed forces in time to confront the growing threats - to increase defence spending and again saying this mystical defence investment plan will be coming out soon - and then tried to score political points against the Tories despite a passionate plea by Lord Robertson in his speech on Tuesday to take the political mudslinging out of defence and make it a cross-party endeavour because of the gravity of the challenge

Adam Brooks: Too late, he’s allowed 20 months…
Too late, he’s allowed 20 months of deflection and unanswered questions by Keir Starmer. Starmer has been allowed to escape parliamentary and public scrutiny. I personally think that Hoyle should go.

Edwin Hayward: One irritating thing about politicians…
One irritating thing about politicians is their habit of pretending that two things cannot both be true. For example: The Tories cut defence spending. (True, but they claim it's not). Labour have been slow to increase defence spending (True, but they claim it's not). #pmqs

Philip Proudfoot: After the entire world has watched Israel commit a genocide…
After the entire world has watched Israel commit a genocide, and then its defenders used the false anti-semitism smear to try and silence those utterly disgusted at the relentless brutality, I don’t think, Steve, this absolute garbage is going to work anymore.

Andy Ngo: In San Francisco, illegal foreign nationals…
In San Francisco, illegal foreign nationals have flocked to the liberal city to take advantage of its taxpayer-funded homeless services that include offering expensive cosmetic transgender procedures, like breast implants. @choeshow reports:

Andrew Bridgen: Thousands are protesting in Belgium…
Thousands are protesting in Belgium this evening demanding remigration. The public dissatisfaction with the invasion of Europe by people who have no links to it, its history or culture is growing daily.

Liz Webster: 🚨 WARNING…
🚨 WARNING: Britain is dangerously exposed to a food crisis. We produce too little of our own food, rely too heavily on imports, hold almost no reserves, and are failing to support the farmers we will depend on when global shocks hit. Government planning seems to assume that if we can keep supply chains moving, food will keep coming. But that ignores the bigger issue, what happens when there is less food globally. Countries feed themselves first. That’s when reliance on imports becomes a vulnerability, not a strength. Which is why domestic production isn’t optional, it’s resilience. 🧵Read more
