Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world. Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures. What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform: 🔗 trophylab.mod.gov.ua/en/

An excellent, balanced but also factually accurate & no-punches-pulled two minute analysis by @robpowellnews of the Farage claim that Britain is a two-tier state against white people.

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat. So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard? I can think of 5 million reasons why…

@JuliaHB1 I have no aptitude for that, Julia. Unlike your great hero, I also have no aptitude for encouraging race riots on the streets of the UK. Hey, each to their own.

Good to see Ant Middlton campaigning for Rob Kenyon in Makerfield. Who better to help push the message that Reform is on the side of local businesses than someone who lives in Dubai and is banned as a company director for dodging £1m in tax?

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

After @Keir_Starmer accused @elonmusk of whipping up division I thought I’d share some of the misogynistic abuse and death threats I’ve received on this platform. 👀 news.sky.com/video/share-13…

Murder rates Ohio: ~50 murders per million people United States: ~59 murders per million England & Wales: ~8.6 murders per million Physician heal thyself. Motes and planks.

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right bbc.com/news/articles/…

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy. JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth. comment.press/vance1234

In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. youtu.be/MTrNIyotEHk?si…

@jmgmoron We really don’t all agree on that, José

@typesfaster Bullshit.

No one crapping the bed about Tony Blair has laid out a single alternative thorough programme of policy architecture for the years ahead. They just blurt out cliches like ‘tech billionaires’ and ‘war criminals’. It really is amateur hour, which I suppose is the point he’s making.

Further to Blair. Literally every honest sensible person in all the main parties privately agrees with all these propositions: - welfare spending is too high and is throwing good people on the scrapheap - defence spending is too low - the triple lock is unsustainable - without cheap energy we cannot exploit the AI revolution - we should be investing in EVERY form of energy: renewables, nuclear and the North Sea - migration needs to be controlled to boost social cohesion and because the boats look like a huge failure of the state - any new relationship with the EU will be imposed on us until we are stronger and cannot involve the closeness some desire without freedom of movement - we are deeply embedded with America in ways which the public does not understand and cannot be told and however joyous it makes us feel to hate Trump, disengagement at the deep state level is not only wholly unrealistic but also undesirable - Whitehall needs a total overhaul so specific project expertise and political appointees can be brought in quickly Blair basically says all that. The one thing he doesn’t say and which the same group of people agree on is this and it’s something Blair left behind: - judges and quangos have too much power, are unaccountable and without redressing the balance in favour of parliament it is very difficult to do anything big fast - the bare minimum that needs to change in this regard is to reform judicial review and planning law so we can put building and economic growth ahead of newts and NIMBYs None of that above really ought to be up for discussion. It is all common sense but not one of our politicians will publicly say all of it Whatever you think of Blair, engage with what he’s saying not how he makes you feel. The bare minimum we should expect from any leader is that they have an analysis of the current situation and a plan to deal with it which is as coherent and realistic as his intervention. Pretty well every critique I’ve read so far has failed to meet this requirement. Over to Andy and Keir and Kemi and Nigel and Zack and all the others

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against. Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities. Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?

🤣 LMAO The time Rob Jenrick was teeing up for a big philosophical rhetoric in the oldest Parliament in the world. But the universe had other plans for him 👇

@JaydaBF Born and raised in England to a father born and raised in England. His grandfather was born in India, much like how your grandfather Jan Jozef Wynand Fransen was born in the Netherlands. exposingbf.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/dea…

Reform UK told the BBC that he paid in cash for his £1.4m house in Surrey with his “I’m a Celebrity” fee from ITV and not with the £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne - which Farage says was to provide him with security (physical, not financial). But the ITV “Celeb” fee was £1.5m, which would be £825,000 after tax, for a top-rate taxpayer like Farage. That’s £575,000 less than the price of the house. And even if the fee was paid into his “Thorn in the side” media company rather than directly to him, it would still be taxable, one way or another

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?
