Small-boat crossings have just lunged to a four-year low. No minister has mentioned it. But without legal reform, small arrival dramas will keep eclipsing bigger success. My column:- times-comment.com/bc

Returns of failed asylum seekers (voluntary and compulsory) are at the highest level since records began 16 years ago.

🚨 BREAKING: One hour after announcing his resignation, U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Randy George reportedly said: "Donald Trump should be hospitalized immediately; I doubt his mental fitness. He is leading the U.S. military toward disaster."

🚨 Latest figures show that knife-robberies in high-crime areas have fallen by almost a quarter since July 2024.

This might be the greatest thing I have ever seen 🤣

A review, backed by more than 100 experts, has found it's genuinely tougher to be young today: anxiety, depression and self-harm are rising, and one in four 16–24-year-olds is now struggling with their mental health. Bluntly: "Adults have let them down." And to anyone still spouting "snowflake generation," the review's lead, Professor Peter Fonagy, sets a challenge: "Try living 24 hours as a 16-year-old." thelondoneconomic.com/news/h…

Here's your daily reminder that Nigel Farage took a £5 million crypto bung from overseas billionaires.

There’s a piece of misinformation circulating claiming a new poll shows GB News is the most trusted news source in Britain. It doesn’t. The Ofcom figures being quoted measure how much REGULAR USERS OF EACH CHANNEL trust the channel they already choose to watch. So GB News viewers were asked how much they trust GB News, BBC viewers how much they trust the BBC, and so on. Unsurprisingly, people who actively choose to watch GB News tend to trust GB News. That’s a very different claim from saying Britain trusts GB News more than the BBC. And we know this because when you actually ask a representative sample of the British public about individual news brands, the picture is dramatically different. The Reuters Institute’s UK research found 62% trusted BBC News compared with just 29% for GB News. I personally choose not to watch GB News precisely because when I have watched it I’ve found its political bias glaringly obvious. People like me therefore aren’t represented in a statistic measuring how much GB News’s own regular audience trusts GB News. So turning “GB News viewers trust GB News” into “Britain trusts GB News more than the BBC” is, ironically, a perfect demonstration of exactly why so many people don’t trust GB News.

"I'm British and russia is NOT my enemy!" "I'm American and russia is NOT my enemy!" "I'm Danish and russia is NOT my enemy!" "I'm Polish and russia is NOT my enemy!" "I'm Finnish and russia is NOT my enemy!" "I'm German and russia is NOT my enemy!"

Ask any AI what impact Rejoning would likely have on rates, GBP, inflation, FDI and UK global influence:

Two things: 1. Masked but posted from his own account - bless. 2. The French police aren't like British police. They are no nonsense and will jump heavily on any criminal activity - including those attacking migrants. May they soon see the full force of French law.

🚨🇬🇧 No one is saying Danny Tommo intended to hurt anyone in his Channel escapade. At sea, that isn't the test. The test is what a competent seaman would do. He failed it four times in one afternoon. You don't crowd a rescue. Unless the coastguard asks for you, you stand off. Rescue is the most dangerous moment for an overloaded dinghy. People panic, surge to one side, and boats break up. Tommo drove a speedboat into a live rescue and picked out the dinghy with the most people on it. You don't take a knife to an inflatable with someone on it. When a tube goes soft, the boat loses its shape and its buoyancy fast. The rescuer was standing between two hulls. Go in the water there and you face a crush risk as well as the cold. That's basic seamanship. You don't leave wreckage behind. A half-sunk dinghy full of lifejackets can look like casualties to a helicopter or a passing ship. False alarms and mistaken identity cost lives in the Channel. In 2021, rescuers found the wrong boat, the search for the sinking one appears to have stopped, and at least 27 people died. These waters have already shown what happens when small boats go unseen. In 2006, three men died off the Isle of Wight when a ferry ran down their yacht. It never showed up on the ship's radar. The bridge didn't see it until it was too late. Small boats are close to invisible to big ships. Everyone who goes out there in one owes it to themselves, and to the rescuers who'd have to come for them, to act like it. And the oldest rule at sea: you help people in distress. Whoever they are, however they got there. Tommo's words on the livestream were "we're going to take the one with the most on." He wasn't going out to help. He was going out to find out where they'd land. Then he told the rescuer, "Get off the boat, you've got time." While cutting it. You don't tell a man he's got time unless you know he's in danger. He knew. He cut it anyway. Not malicious. Just dangerously ignorant, and reckless with other people's lives. On the water, that's worse.

As Inch High GoFundMe guy asks for £100K for Danny Tommo’s defence, remember: This is an absolute crime. He did what he did. It’s on camera. There’s nothing the world’s best solicitors or barristers can do for him that a legal-aid lawyer can’t. £100K won’t change the evidence.

I’m a scientist. I need to say this because the AI hype is getting ridiculous. AI can design a molecule in seconds. That doesn’t mean it discovered a drug. It discovered something we scientists have never been short of: Something to test. Someone still has to make it. Run the experiment. Measure whether it works. Check whether it’s toxic. And ultimately prove it works in the real world. AI hype tells us: “Prediction is discovery.” “Simulation is experimentation.” “Generating a molecule is developing a drug.” It isn’t. AI is making ideas incredibly cheap. But every new idea creates something AI cannot generate: Evidence. And the more hypotheses AI produces, the more experiments we’re going to need. That’s the irony nobody seems to be talking about. AI may not make laboratories obsolete. It may make them more valuable than ever. You can speedrun the thinking. You can’t speedrun reality.

Drug-addled convicted grifter @TRobinsonNewEra has contempt for everyone, even the people who donate money they can ill-afford to fund his and @RealDannyTommo's legal defence. Watch this, he can no longer hide it. Don't be a mug, let these crooks rot.

We don’t even know if Danny Tommo has been charged, yet here’s this serial beg with his bucket out already, rinsing his bunch of mugs again.

I called it yesterday. I said Tommy Robinson and Danny Tommo would be rattling the tin next. How long before a GoFundMe? Watch this space. Here we are. Not even a day later. Danny is in trouble and Tommy is already asking for money. Best defence money can buy. Look after the family. Donate here.😂😂 It is the same routine every time. Trouble first. Collection plate second. And the gullible and the ignorant will send it again. They always do. They think they are funding a fight. They are funding a business. The cycle is complete.

Who remembers the days when the EU was not even an issue, not even a <1% issue when it came to voter concerns. When Farage was unheard of. When racism was called out. When society was far kinder and tolerant. What the fuck has happened?
