Good to see that Thames Water is making good use of the huge increase in water bills. High Res screens, one on each side of the van to tell how they are here to support us 🤣. Cant make this up. @thameswater @We_OwnIt

Too many politicians treat the world like a student union. Abstract, simplistic and completely disconnected from reality. The world is not a debating club. It is a dangerous place where power matters, where democracy is fragile and where enemies don’t play by the rules. That’s why we need to be clear: supporting Israel is not just right — it is necessary for our own national security. Israelis are at the front line in the fight for the West and for our shared values. First, Iran is a direct threat to the UK and has been for years. Our security services have stopped multiple Iranian terrorist plots and assassination attempts on UK soil. Its ballistic missiles can reach Europe. We should support any ally that seeks to damage Iran’s nuclear programme and eliminate the threat posed by the terror-exporting Revolutionary Guards. Anti-British sentiment is almost as central to the ayatollahs’ deranged ideology as their obsessive hatred of Israel and the United States. They use the term “Little Satan” interchangeably to refer to both the UK and Israel. Iran uses influence through mosques, schools and fake charities to radicalise and corrupt our own population: taking advantage of our democracy to advance its theocracy. Second, Iran and Israel are not moral equivalents. Israel is a vibrant democracy that protects women and minorities and encourages them to vote, speak and dissent. In Iran women are brutalised by a theocratic dictatorship. Their ability to travel and work is restricted. They are beaten for showing their hair. Tortured for asking questions. Executed for demanding freedom. Anyone who can’t see the difference between a liberal democracy and a terrorist regime needs to spend less time on social media and more time understanding reality. When Iran launched its latest barrage of missiles, it didn’t target military installations. It targeted city centres. High rise housing. Hospitals. Civilians. This is a war crime, plain and simple. No excuses. No spin. And still, we have western politicians giving copy-and-paste statements as if this were a playground spat between equal players in a “cycle of violence”. Israel’s response, in contrast, is surgical. It decapitated Iran’s offensive capabilities with extraordinary precision and minimal civilian casualties. Images of holes made by guided bombs in the sides of flats occupied by specific regime operatives are testament to Israel’s values. When Iran attacks, millions of Israelis hide in bomb shelters. When Israel attacks, Iranian dissidents record the impact against regime targets and cheer. Military strategists will be studying this campaign for decades as a model for how to defend your people without losing your moral compass and in compliance with international law. Israel has a right to defend itself. Iran has been openly committed to the destruction of Israel for decades. Through its proxy, Hamas, the regime orchestrated the murder of 1,200 people on October 7 and has said it would do it again. Any democracy facing such an existential threat from a genocidal regime would and must act to defend itself. Most Arab nations understand this; some say it openly. Many ordinary Iranians bitterly oppose their regime which for 46 years has been robbing them of their future. They know that Israel is not the problem. They condemn violence, yes, but they have no time for the delusions of the western left. They’ve had enough of people in Islington pretending to speak for Gaza while doing nothing for peace. But of course, the usual crowd in Britain and beyond rushed to condemn Israel. They ignore the facts. Because it’s not really about Israel — it’s about their own moral posturing. While Israel takes on the arrayed enemies of the West, fighting terrorism on multiple fronts, and facing Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran at once, their so-called allies condemn them. 1/3

@reduxx Social media is a disease in today’s societies.

@NiallMcConnell5 @grok has this event taken place in Ireland or elsewhere?

People my age struggling to buy homes They’re struggling with rising rents Yet this government is now set to pay landlords 5 years of rent to house asylum seekers There is not a single young person in this Country who should vote labour. We are we going to live?

You’re in a unisex bathroom in a fully enclosed cubicle. It’s downstairs in a busy, noisy establishment. You open the door of the cubicle to exit and a man pushes you back in and locks the door. You’re now locked in a cubicle with him and nobody can hear you. Now what?

@T0MB0Y0 @jk_rowling So much respect for @jk_rowling what a woman!!

@LBC 🤯

How grim to read about this misogyny from @Ocado who it seems can’t tolerate a position on women’s rights that reflects the Supreme Court’s view. I’ve never shopped with them and certainly don’t intend to start now after reading this from @MumsnetTowers founder

BREAKING - While attention was understandably focussed on British Steel today, a daily record of 623 small boat migrants crossed illegally from France. The highest daily total had been 592 on 3rd March. Dover lifeboat was called to assist Border Force respond to multiple calls.

Britain’s wokest council tells staff to take white privilege test. This is one of the most shocking stories on local government I’ve read in some time. How is this legal, it’s shocking. No wonder the country is in this state. Do you shop at Waitrose? telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/0…

@LauraLoomer @elonmusk Haha. 🤣 don’t push it too far.

This man deserves a damn medal he turned down a considerable amount of money to house migrants, you don’t come across hero’s like this every day. Can we Repost this and make him and his wonderful establishment @CamelotCastleHo famous please. 🙏👏🇬🇧

@GSGB01 @RachelReevesMP 🙌 yes.

@JohnGaffen @Frankhaviland ‘Extremely rare’ … kindly explain your parameters. I wouldn’t say extremely rare in this case when describing Lewisham. It’s not a place you can walk alone at night either. It’s been like that for as long as I can remember. Where there is high drug use, crime follows

@Mofoman360 Yes

Excellent rant by Neil Oliver: "There's a war on, a war on humanity... The declared aim of the war is to force all of us to accept less." "The so-called elites of the World Economic Forum pontificate about how all the control in the world ought to be in their hands, the hands of a technocracy, while we on the other hand should have nothing and be happy." "We are lectured and hectored about the necessity to live smaller, hungrier, colder, limited lives by those whose lifestyles are an exercise in excess." Credit: @thecoastguy

@johnineurope321 @DavidLloydUK Mine has gone up 11% this year. I think last year was 16%.

@skykit84 @DavidLloydUK At my club, 13-20% price hike since 2021. Not sure where this is going but it’s getting very expensive.
