🇺🇦 If you could use some great news from Ukraine and a reason to smile, this video is for you! “The autumn offensive in the Donbas is underway. It’s unfolding just as they reported to Putin: “The autumn offensive in the Donbas would be decisive and serious.” Except the offensive operation is being carried out by someone other than the occupiers.” — Ukrainian journalist and serviceman Kyrylo Sazonov 📹 piped.video/@donetskiecom?si…

We shouldn’t be afraid, as a nation, to agree across the left, right and centre, that the UK needs to further address immigration. I don’t believe anyone should have an automatic right to come to Britain simply because they want to improve their life. In an ideal world, perhaps they would. But while we have British families struggling to put food on the table, people living below the poverty line and people without homes, I completely understand why immigration is such a contentious issue. But here’s the part that those who hang almost everything on immigration conveniently ignore: Migrants, whether legal migrants, illegal migrants or asylum seekers, ARE NOT the fundamental reason British-born people are struggling. The far bigger issue is how wealth and resources are distributed. Britain is an enormously wealthy country. Yet vast amounts of that wealth are concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of extraordinarily rich people. And this is where the whole debate becomes almost absurd. Take Sir Paul Marshall, the billionaire hedge-fund manager and co-owner of GB News. He has been estimated to be worth around £875 million, while the hedge fund he chairs has billions invested in fossil-fuel companies. He has enough personal wealth to feed over 140,000 British families for a year. It doesn't take much common sense to explain why he is using GB News to convince ordinary British people that immigration is at the heart of what has gone wrong with their country, rather than wealth inequality. Then look at Reform. Two crypto billionaires have just poured a combined £72 MILLION into the party. Reform pose as the solution to the immigration issue that they push down our throats 24/7, whilst their most substantive policies are focussed on reducing taxes on crypto and for the ultra-rich. You could completely eliminate illegal immigration tomorrow and Britain would still have food banks. We would still have a housing crisis. People would still struggle with their energy bills. We would still have enormous wealth inequality. None of the national conversation right now allows us to take any attention away from immigration - that is deliberate, and £100s of millions has been invested to ensure immigration is all we talk about. If we continue down this road, sure, we might vote in a party like Reform, immigration might be eliminated, but nothing will be solved, and it will likely get a whole lot worse for working families.

A few years ago, the fear in European cities had a name, and the name was ISIS. Trucks on promenades, knives at Christmas markets, a threat that came from nowhere and belonged to no state. Today the threat has a headquarters, a budget and a chain of command, and it sits in Moscow. German investigators now believe the GRU was behind the arson attack in Munich on September 3, when incendiary devices were hurled from a moving car onto a construction site beside the offices of Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing, the company that supplies drones to Ukraine. Two Bulgarian nationals, the sort of disposable hired hands Russia prefers, are in custody. It follows the drone attack on Leipzig Airport, which makes two suspected GRU sabotage operations in Germany within a single month. Call it what it is. Russia is not merely fighting in Ukraine. It is waging war in Europe, one warehouse and one construction site at a time, and Europe keeps filing it under "incidents."
Investigators believe the Russian military intelligence agency GRU is behind the arson attack in Munich. A second Russian terror attack in a single month. On September 3, incendiary devices were thrown from a moving car onto a construction site right next to the headquarters of Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing. Helsing supplies drones to Ukraine. Two suspected low-level operatives (Bulgarian nationals) are in custody. This would mark the second suspected GRU act of sabotage in Germany within a month—following the drone attack on Leipzig Airport. Russia is waging war not only in Ukraine, but here as well.

I am a white British man with Irish blood. My skin colour does not define who I am nor how I see others. I reject ethno-nationalists, fascists and bigots who claim to speak for me. I reject all you represent. You disgust me. You will never speak for me and you will never win.

After 18 years of full time work and reaching a senior level position, I had to go on benefits for a period due to serious burnout from ADHD and bipolar disorder. If I didn't get those benefits, I would have lost everything and could have ended up homeless. I am sick to the teeth of people treating benefits like everyone is a scrounger. It's a literal lifeline. The GPD % spend of benefits in 2026 is exactly the same as as it was in 2009. The politicians are lying to us. There is no crisis. It's the tax avoiders where the big money is to be found, but that would likely include the politicians friends and family, so they leave that well alone.

Danny Tommo is an ex-drug dealer who has been convicted of armed attempted kidnapping. He also has a history of abuse against women and has been accused of plying a Telford grooming-gang survivor with drink and drugs for sex which is something the victim’s father has spoken publicly about. We now have MPs defending this man after he committed serious criminal behaviour involving a bladed article at sea. These are extremely dangerous examples to set. We should not be idolising, defending or celebrating people who commit serious crimes. Because if this man were black or a migrant, these same people would be screaming for the book to be thrown at him and demanding he be deported. This is about normalising extreme, aggressive behaviour towards anyone who opposes them. When MPs start defending criminals who are now involving knives, the message that sends is deeply disturbing. People like Danny Tommo should not be defended. They certainly shouldn't be celebrated, especially when they have a history of abusing women, the very people they are claiming to be protecting by their actions.

Russia killed seven people in Kyiv today. Moving around the city has turned into a deadly game of hiding from drones. You drive, walk, go to work and suddenly you’re running for cover. I know this won’t be heard, but I want to leave it here anyway.

Reform polling at around 20% means 80% of the UK won’t vote for them. That means 80% of the country are decent people who reject hateful, racist politics. Reform is a minority. Even at around 20% in the polls, 80% of the country is not voting for them.

I can't find the quote but I do remember Victoria Starmer remarking 'at least the civil service continued to support my husband'. How lonely and isolating that must have felt, all while dedicating his time to public service.
