Highest respect to soldiers and horses of @BritishArmy, whose discipline, skill and dedication uphold these remarkable traditions every day!!

In 1981, The Cannonball Run (45 today) hijacked the 20th Century Fox logo, turning it into a tiny car chase capped by Burt Reynolds’ legendary laugh. This gag is missing from many home releases/TV airings. I've also tacked on the intro… for THAT 1979 Lamborghini Countach.

A welcoming present just out this morning for a Mr A Burnham to underline just how limited his latitude as PM will be: The UK government borrowed £23.3 billion last month, 30 per cent or £5.4 billion higher than a year earlier. It was also more than the £18.8 billion expected by most economists and the £17.7 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility, the UK’s independent fiscal watchdog.  The interest payable on government debt rose to £11.7 billion, the highest ever recorded in any May.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A Scottish council ban staff showing support for Scotland during the World Cup because they need to remain "inclusive and welcoming to others". Are you taking the piss @midgov Why do we need to suppress our own national pride? Who does it offend that Scots working in Scotland support Scotland as they represent our country in the world's premier football competition? The Scottish Government's First Minister and Transport Sec both went to the World Cup, are they not being "inclusive" because they displayed a Scotland shirt and a kilt? Utterly pathetic.

A lovely pic of my father (with the pronunciation dictionary) and a gaggle of fellow BBC news presenters in 1979. Today would have been his 101st birthday

The US has circulated its version of the Memo of Understanding with Iran to G7 leaders in France. It’s as bad if not worse than expected. — The moment it’s signed (Friday) sanctions on the export of Iran oil are lifted. So the regime can start replenishing its coffers immediately. — The US commits to doing nothing to undermine or destabilise the Iranian regime (it started the war to remove it). — The US specifically commits to ending its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz but Iran does not commit specifically to returning the Strait to toll/fee free transit exactly as before the war, with no Iranian control/regulation whatsoever . — All sanctions against Iran will be dropped should phase two negotiations go well. And America will withdraw its forces from the region. — The US ‘undertakes’ to work with Iran and Gulf allies to create a $300 billion reconstruction package for Iran. So America will now become a partner with the tyrants of Tehran, who Trump only recently wanted to overthrow, in rebuilding their economy. — All matters related to Iran’s nuclear capabilities are kicked into the ‘final agreement’ in 60 days time (or longer if necessary). — No mention of Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities or its financing of terrorist proxies. And that’s just about it. When Trump insisted the war would only end with ‘unconditional surrender’ it never crossed my mind he meant his own.

If Britain starts restricting VPNs, we'll be joining an exclusive club that includes China, Russia and Iran. How did the country that gave the world the magna carta end up aligning our internet controls with authoritarian states?

🇬🇧 When you say the word tarmac... You have just said a Scotsman's name.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Tar, laid over macadam. The macadam is the man. John Loudon McAdam was born in Ayr in 1756. The Britain he grew up in moved at the speed of mud. He was not an engineer and never trained as one. He was a merchant who could not stop studying roads, and he travelled Britain at his own expense to learn why they failed. His answer was almost insultingly simple. No grand foundations. Just small broken stones on a raised, drained bed, and let the traffic itself pack the surface tight. Cheap enough for any turnpike trust in the country. 🏛️ You were told great roads take an empire. Rome needed legions. McAdam needed broken stone and drainage. In 1816, nearly 60, he got his chance at Bristol and remade the roads. The carts stopped sinking. In 1823 Parliament examined his system and adopted it. The work had cost him his own fortune. Parliament moved to repay him 5,000 pounds sterling, and rivals cut it to 2,000. He kept working anyway, and turned down a knighthood. His method spread across Europe, then America. In 1902 a Welsh surveyor bound macadam with tar. Tarmac. 2 centuries on, the world walks and drives on his name. An Ayrshire merchant paid his own way to fix everyone's road. Britain moves because people like him refused to wait for permission.

In 1840 an American slave ship ran aground in the Bahamas. On British ground, the 38 people below deck could not be owned. 🇬🇧 Free Black boatmen rowed out, magistrates came aboard, and all 38 walked ashore free. 19 October 1840. The Hermosa, a schooner out of Richmond, Virginia, bound for the slave markets of New Orleans. Below deck, 38 enslaved people. Her papers listed them as cargo. She struck a reef off Abaco, in the Bahamas. British ground. Bahamian boatmen rowed out through the surf, free Black men who worked these reefs for a living, and carried all 38 safe to Nassau. Britain had abolished slavery 6 years before. The captain refused to let them ashore. He called for another ship to carry them back to bondage. Then British magistrates came aboard, armed men at their backs. No fleet. No proclamation. A local court doing its ordinary work. In Virginia, paper made those 38 people property. On British ground, no paper on Earth could. One by one, 38 people stepped ashore at Nassau. Free. The owners demanded them back for years. They never got them. Nobody famous freed those 38. Boatmen rowed out. Magistrates climbed aboard. Ordinary hands, keeping Britain's word. In Virginia, paper made them property. On British ground, thanks to the British citizens, it could not. 🇬🇧 This is the revival of British culture. Be part of it. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

America is building rockets that can go to Mars and is taking AI to new levels. Meanwhile, in Britain, our Government is banning underfloor heating and wants to regulate our use of towel rails. I despair for our future under these student socialist imbeciles.

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole ‘crime’ of protesting for freedom.

Fair play to Douglas Alexander. Under somewhat excitable questioning from the SNP’s Dave Doogan, the Secretary of State for Scotland replied: ‘He’s full of beans, Mr Speaker. I suppose that’s what you get with three coffee machines.’
