@SilentSkyZero @jamesmurray_ldn Rubbish. Stopping the healthy development of a gender nonconforming child because they say they have an identity is unconscionable, profoundly abusive and homophobic. Puberty blockers for gender distress will be remembered as one of the most atrocious medical scandals of all time

10 years ago since this gem.

A Parliament of Charity Workers and Lobbyists. In a Time of War. Of 238 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024, 72 worked in the charitable sector, 72 were political employees and 70 worked in communications or lobbying. Roughly ninety percent have never worked in defence, manufacturing, engineering, medicine or law enforcement. A parliamentary source quoted in the Sunday Times put it plainly. If only we had the same number with defence or military experience, maybe we'd be in a different place. Maybe. But the problem runs deeper than defence spending. It runs to the question of what kind of person ends up in parliament, what professional formation shapes their instincts, and whose interests they are constitutionally equipped to represent. Charity sector workers are trained to see the world through the lens of vulnerable groups, international obligations and institutional compassion. Political employees are trained to manage narratives and avoid uncomfortable truths. Communications and lobbying professionals are trained to advance the interests of whoever is paying them. Not one of those professional backgrounds prepares you for the question of how to defend a sovereign nation, manage a border, hold a foreign state accountable or protect a citizen from an Iranian proxy group that is firebombing Jewish ambulances on British streets. The parliament that responded to the Golders Green firebombing by debating the language used to describe it is a parliament staffed by people whose entire professional lives have trained them to manage perception rather than confront reality. The government that rolled out an anti-Muslim hostility definition while twenty Iranian backed terrorist plots were being planned on British streets is a government whose instinct is accommodation rather than accountability. The thirty six MPs who wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding Nick Timothy's investigation were not all acting from professional instinct. Several have documented histories of antisemitic language or associations. Others represent constituencies where the Muslim vote is the primary electoral consideration. The Sunday Times source suggests the problem is defence spending priorities. It is that. But it is also the Trafalgar Square response, where Keir Starmer reached for Tommy Robinson rather than engaging with a theological argument he knew he could not answer. It is the Attorney General deploying his Jewish identity to provide cover for a false equivalence he knew to be false. It is the parliamentary machinery mobilised to silence the people naming what is happening while the people doing it operate without consequence. All of it flows from the same source. A political class whose professional formation is compassion, accommodation and message management, governing in a moment that requires clarity, resolve and the willingness to say plainly what the evidence shows. Britain is not short of intelligence assessments. MI5 has thwarted twenty Iranian plots. The Walney report documented Iranian influence operations in the charitable sector. The security services know what is happening. The problem is not knowledge. It is the absence of the professional formation, the instincts, the language and the willingness that would allow the people in power to act on what they know. Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies. They were never going to see it coming. And even now that it has arrived, on the streets of Golders Green, in the WhatsApp groups of the Green Party, on the Embankment where death to America was chanted on a Sunday afternoon, they are still reaching for the tools their professional lives gave them. Compassion. Accommodation. Message management. And the instruction not to take the bait. "Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies."

They're all grinning. But perhaps they wouldn't be smiling if they remembered that the reason they had to yank the twice-failed leader of the party then Mayor of Manchester back to Westminster is because not one of them was good enough for the job.

Regardless of political persuasion and/or personal animus, I have to believe that the majority of people understand that this type of triumphalism *on the very same day* that Keir resigns is fundamentally indecent. Starmer made many mistakes that I myself have publicly criticised him strongly for. Nonetheless, how Labour has treated him today has been absolutely diabolical. It’s been truly stunning to witness.

Former Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has rolled back his previous comments about the EU being flexible on UK accession terms, and is now saying that the Single Market is the jewel in the crown and that there can be no weakening of rules. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

He stabbed her 23 times in the head with a screwdriver. You have to take a moment to realise just how unbelievably brutal that would have been. Im sure her poor mother and sister, and her beautiful little boy - when he's old enough to understand - will have spent all this time emotionally agonising about what that poor women went through. And the police response was to manage her feelings and what she said about it.

🚨 A STUNNING SNUB TO THE KING AND OUR NATION. Keir Starmer is officially out, but the Labour Party has managed to deliver one final, sickening insult to our country's traditions. For the first time in modern history, a Prime Minister informed the Monarch of his resignation over the phone, announcing it to the media before even having the basic decency to go to Buckingham Palace. 🤡 Every other Prime Minister in our history has had the dignity to look the Monarch in the eye and resign in person. But this is exactly what the modern Labour Party represents. They have absolutely zero respect for our heritage, zero respect for our constitutional traditions, and zero respect for the British public. 💷 They treat our ancient institutions with total contempt, and they are already preparing to install another unelected, pro-EU careerist like Andy Burnham without a single vote from you. Starmer might be history, but the toxic Labour establishment is still running the show and managing our decline. RT if you are sick to the back teeth of this classless Labour regime and demand a general election now! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

@afneil Obviously a plum role is on offer

By their words ye shall know them: Wes Streeting: If there’s a leadership contest I will definitely be a candidate. He’s not running. Keir Starmer: If a leadership contest is triggered I will definitely be a candidate. He’s not running.

Journalists right now, going back through every Labour cabinet member’s Twitter feed, taking screenshots of all the times they called for a General Election when the Tories were having a prime ministerial merry-go-round.

Apparently, Louise Haigh could be chancellor, or at least get a plum job in Andy Burham’s new Labour cabinet. She had to resign from her last job in government over fraud. This stinks already.

Happy Brexit Referendum Day Tenth Anniversary to all my fellow Brexiteers! A wonderful day for democracy and for regaining British sovereignty. British governments can no longer claim they don't have responsibility for their own policy failures and blame their weakness on the EU bureaucrats. British voters can hold them to account. And we do.

The media coming up six years later find out Starmer is a dud

In an all my years covering politics I have never met anyone so lacking in interest in the skills a leader needs - the ability to tell a story; to listen to colleagues; to woo, persuade & chivvy. Keir Starmer isn’t just uninterested in these requirements of the job. He is

I implore the new DG to impose reality on his journalists. Tell them that sex is real. Drop the phrase "trans women" which confuses the audience and make clear that people who call themselves "trans women" are men.

@ripx4nutmeg @Dis_Critic I sent in a complaint, got this back:

In Armed Forces Week this evening Labour voted against their own manifesto pledge to support service families: 164 - 311. My amendment to the Armed Forces Bill would have waived fees for Indefinite Leave to Remain for spouses and children of service personnel and veterans who have served for four years or more; a pledge made on page 119 of the Labour manifesto. The Government refused to support it for purely political reasons, and so those families will continue to be charged £3,229 per person. Labour will never support our Armed Forces.
