Mayor of Punta Arenas in Chile says they can deal with whoever they like, and they choose their friendly neighbours in the Falklands.

Goodnight 🌙 Oh…. and Netanyahu says that America “deserved 9/11” during his speech at the UN General Assembly. Cool, huh?

Poverty in Argentina reached 32.3% of people in the first half of 2026, an increase of 4.1 percentage points on the second half of 2025, the National Institute of Statistics and Census reported on Thursday. en.mercopress.com/2026/09/25…

No. Britain expelled only the Argentine military garrison (arrived months earlier, including mutineers) in January 1833. Civilian settlers—around 33, mostly gauchos of mixed origin—were given free choice and encouraged to remain. Most (about 22) stayed. Contemporary reports by Captain Onslow and Pinedo confirm no civilian expulsion.

El nuevo Galtieri, debe ser detenido con fuerza, por Chile y Reino Unido, si intenta bloquear las rutas comerciales y marítimas del Atlántico Sur.

We are responding to Russia’s brutal strikes against life. Last night, thanks to our long-range sanctions, two oil refineries were hit – in Perm and Novoshakhtinsk. There were also hits on the Iskra Plant defense enterprise in Ulyanovsk, and the occupiers now have two fewer radar stations in the Rostov region. I thank our warriors and every unit involved for their accuracy and for systematically limiting Russia’s ability to kill. Glory to Ukraine!

The UK currently holds only 42 days of diesel in its emergency stockpiles. While the UK stands at just 42 days, countries like Italy hold 347 days, the USA has 677 days and Canada and Japan maintain over 1,000 days of supply. In the early 2000s, Britain held over 100 days of diesel reserves. However, as major domestic oil refineries closed down over the years, the country's massive storage tanks disappeared with them, leaving the UK heavily reliant on just-in-time imports. That is the jeopardy facing every supermarket shelf, every hospital delivery, every harvest, every bin collection and every freight train that still keeps Britain functioning. And the system that supplies that fuel security has been allowed to grow dangerously thin. Meanwhile the UK’s ability to make that fuel itself has been dismantled. From eighteen refineries in the 1970s to nine at the turn of the century, Britain is now down to just four: Domestic demand already exceeded refining capacity before those closures. The gap is filled by imports - more than half of the diesel that goes into British tanks. This has happened through a long succession of terrible government choices and neglect that treated energy security as an afterthought. Carbon costs were loaded onto plants that operate here, while higher-carbon fuel could be imported without equivalent burden. Almost every government over the past 20 years helped to create this looming crisis. Diesel is the engine room of the economy. And successive governments have allowed the tanks to run towards empty. Shameful.

A fantastic article by @NavyLookout on the enormous British success story that is the CAMM missile. Well worth a read. navylookout.com/britains-mis…

Congratulations to former member of @FIAssembly, John Birmingham, who has just been elected to the role of Deputy Speaker of the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly. #Democracy #Falklands 🇫🇰

No permanent inhabitants lived on the Falklands before Europeans. They were uninhabited at first recorded European contact. A 2021 study found possible short-term Yaghan visits centuries earlier from charcoal and bone evidence, but no settlements. Argentina claimed them after independence and held a brief mixed settlement plus garrison in the late 1820s-1833. Britain reasserted control in 1833, removing only the garrison while civilians stayed. No continuous Argentine sovereignty; British administration has continued since.

Think again

Not sure Milei's Falklands distraction is going to work? @JMilei @jmilei_english

Paratroopers departing Aldershot for the Falklands. A generation of soldiers who answered the call without hesitation. What an army we had then.

Heroes.
