Care to debate this, @Stormzy? Without the British Empire, you would be languishing in obscurity in Ghana - if you were born at all Nothing has done more to advance the world and lift it out of poverty than colonialism & capitalism This is not to deny the bad aspects of the

I wonder why there's a bunch of kids right behind the mortar launcher? Can anyone explain? 🤔 Is it because...? Ohhh. I get it

Pretty clear Lord Hermer is toast Someone needs to tell the PM tho

Suddenly, it all starts to make sense....

You couldn’t make it up. The family farm tax introduced by Rachel from Accounts was meant to bring into the treasury £1.8bn, but it now appears it will lose the treasury £2bn. That is Reeves-onomics!

Your weekly reminder that the British Empire the greatest force for good in the history of our species. Never forget, that slavery was part of the human existence from the dawn of time. There was one force that brought it to an end through its own action and shaming others into

Just waiting for the next Secret Barrister thread in which he condescendingly tries to educate the thick masses on why the court was perfectly correct to convict Hamit Coskun, and of course this doesn't mean we have a blasphemy law by stealth and, oh, you ignoramuses really ought

The strange looking HMS Rodney was one of the two giant Nelson-class battleships which defined the Royal Navy of the Interwar Period. Let's take a look at this vessel and her design 🧵👇

It’s still bizarre that Ofcom has no issue with Ed Balls, the Home Secretary’s husband, interviewing MPs. He is blatantly softer with government ministers but grills Robert Jenrick over the word “literally”. Ignoring impartiality is acceptable for some, apparently.

Need to get this off my chest. Yesterday BBC, Sky News and a lot of the media published that “Israel had killed 31 Gazans at an aid distribution centre” It snowballed and all the usual politicians, celebrities and propaganda accounts shared it. The BBC just announced it was

Gazan testimony of Hamas shooting them at the aid centre 👇🏽

There's been a lot of news about our "impartial" Attorney General, Lord Richard Hermer, as of late... So here it is, all in one place. Thread 🧵

Glastonbury’s diversity statement says they want everyone who comes to work or attend to “treat the fields and the people in them with kindness and respect”. I don’t believe them. Glastonbury Festival

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.
