I went on TV to discuss Pakistani grooming gangs in my Labour-run hometown of Telford. The next day, officers banged on my door, wanting to shut me up for exposing them. With the Online Safety Act now in force, no one is safe. If it happened to me, it can happen to anyone.

Keir Starmer used a private jet to watch the Lionesses win the Euros. £75,000 of taxpayers’ money spent on jetting between London and Zurich in the luxury Airbus A321 with his wife, despite him previously pledging to crack down on the unnecessary use of the government’s plane.

Me being carried off a helicopter, pretty much dead. The real challenge of growth mentality physically, emotionally. Comes when you get knocked down. It takes courage to start over again. Don’t give up, always an answer to everything 🫡

I’m not sure whether to share with you or not, but I am somewhat shocked. Yesterday, I found a 12” carving knife sticking out of my hedge, where it appears to have been concealed. I took the knife to my estate office who rang the Police. The advice they received was “Does it have

The human brain is the most outstanding organ in the body. It is by far the most complicated machine on earth. It works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - from birth up until the moment you buy things in an airport WH Smith.

No need for any ‘spy unit’, Keir Starmer. It’s all right here, I stand by every single word. I unapologetically support the mass deportation of every single illegal migrant.

On this day in 1984, peat-cutters discovered the preserved body of Iron Age 'Lindow Man' in Cheshire. I took my family to see his remains when they went on display at Manchester Museum.
