Let's be real here. Labour are telling households to prepare for blackouts.
Three days worth of food and water. Battery powered torches. Sleeping bags. Wind up radios.
Once again, questions are being raised about Britain's ability to keep the lights on this winter.
This is what happens when confidence in a government's ability to run the country starts to disappear.
NEW: Families are being urged by the government to stockpile three days worth of food and water to survive a national emergency.
Ministers have also told the public to keep a battery-powered torch, sleeping bags, cash and a wind-up radio in the house.

Denmark spent decades building nearly 5,000 wind turbines
Together, they produced 21.6 TWh in the last 12 months
One nuclear plant in Sweden made 23.3 TWh
Oh, and nuclear runs 24/7 — wind doesn’t
There's one big reason Denmark has some of the most expensive electricity in the world

The failed Trump regime wants Americans to believe the United States won the war against Iran. The reality is considerably more humiliating.
Iranian strikes have devastated American military infrastructure across the Gulf, destroying hundreds of structures and damaging aircraft, radar systems, communications equipment and critical facilities.
These bases are not merely places to park soldiers. They are the logistical backbone of American military power, supporting aircraft, supplying warships, storing fuel and ammunition, maintaining equipment and coordinating operations.
Destroy that infrastructure and even the world’s most expensive military becomes increasingly difficult to sustain thousands of miles from home.
Trump can declare victory from Washington. He cannot declare destroyed infrastructure back into existence.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch has obtained dozens of NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. military bases from Trump's Iran war.
Troops and military families are breaking their silence, describing being abandoned by their own government.

I checked this and - almost unbelievably- it is true.
Our problems in the west are so much more extreme and profound than most people acknowledge.
I don’t believe all those bovine students genuinely celebrate something so categorically monstrous, but that is almost more frightening. It means they think the acceptable position is to celebrate the murder of a terrified little girl, and so they meekly do.
Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates.
She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range.
The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.

My God, you gotta watch this, everyone.
This train worker is wearing a Palestine badge and he gets questioned quite rightly for it by a Jewish passenger at Farringdon Station in London.
During the confrontation, he denied Hamas’s responsibility for October 7th and claimed Israel killed its own civilians.
He then threatened to have the Jewish passenger forcefully removed from the station.
What the actual FUCK is wrong with these crazies!!

🇬🇷 Greece: Beach attendance has fallen off sharply in the past few years, and no one can figure out why. So a news team did a promotion for one local beach in hopes of stirring interest and raising the numbers a bit, but it went bad really fast.
Refugees as they're called, robbed Greek beach-enjoyers while they filmed the story. Ripped jewelry right off their necks.

Simply astonishing🤯
Lucy Powell said the pay rise was fully funded. The National Education Union celebrated it despite warnings from many head teachers and the Conservatives that this wasn’t true.
Now we find out SEND staff are being cut to fund the pay rise. Total chaos from Lucy Powell and it’s our must vulnerable children who are suffering.

A Home Office contractor is offering British landlords over DOUBLE what councils pay, if they’ll house ‘asylum seekers’ instead of vulnerable British families.
A landlord in Southwark was offered £4,500 a month for a three-bed flat.
He already rents it to the council for £1,790 to house a local family at risk of homelessness.
The contractor offered to pay bills, council tax and maintenance fees.
It would've left the landlord over £30,000 better off.
Labour are outbidding British people so they can house men who broke into our country in your community instead.
Reform will end this madness.
We will take our country back.

Imam Umar Al-Qadri, Chair of the Irish Muslim Council:
“Allah orders Muslims to kill Christians and Jews, and if they don’t convert to Islam, then they must pay jizya.”
He’s a former European Parliament candidate. All over the West, Muslims are seeking political power. They all think like this. The only difference is that some are smarter and use taqiyya.
People need to wake up before it’s too late.

This Freedom of Expression Private Member’s Bill, introduced by Nick Timothy MP, has FALLEN! It is no longer proceeding through Parliament.
It would have explicitly protected the right of British people to criticise, mock, ridicule or reject any religion or belief system, including Islam.
Instead, Sections 4, 4A and 5 of the Public Order Act can STILL be used against ordinary citizens, without this additional protection for religious criticism.
the Bill would also have extended the same protection to offences under the Communications Act 2003 and Malicious Communications Act 1988.
The bill sought to prevent existing laws being used to create a backdoor blasphemy law.
It didn’t even get a proper vote. Which means existing laws do indeed create a de facto blasphemy law in the UK

“The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account.
What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man”
An exclusive excerpt from Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East examines how bank accounts linked the president’s son-in-law—and former senior adviser—to Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

This is absolutely outrageous
A carol concert is not extremist.
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Home Office counter-terrorism documents link “nostalgia for traditionalism” and fears over immigration, liberalism and multiculturalism to “Christian extremism”.
Officials propose working with churches to promote “theological resilience” against the use of Christian teachings to justify hatred or violence.
I obtained dozens of pages from RICU’s report on “Christian extremism”. Among the findings:
• Images of happy families in wartime, peaceful countryside and classical statues are described as a “hook” towards an extremist worldview.
• Tommy Robinson’s rallies and a Christmas carol concert come under scrutiny, alongside Christian fitness groups.
• “Bob from Speakers’ Corner” features, despite RICU identifying no extremist content from him.
Yet the report acknowledges that the threat of violence from Christian extremists remains “low”.
Jeremiah Igunnubole, UK legal counsel for ADF, says the report “suggests an institutional anti-Christian bias has taken hold in the Home Office”.

In the UK illegally.
Asylum claim rejected.
Living in a hotel at tax payers expense.
Predating on young girls.
Sexually assaulted one.
15 WEEKS jail.
Police praised the girls for "trusting their instincts".
If UK politicians had the same instincts for our children's survival- these men wouldn't be here.

The Russians tortured 500 people in Bucha.
The Russians tortured children in Bucha.
The Russians tortured dogs in Bucha.
The Russians killed animals in Bucha.
In Bucha, the Russians used military vehicles to hunt people—turning it into a game.
People ran, the Russians fired, they hunted them down, playing games.
And this didn’t just happen in Bucha.
Trump and his mafia gang call this "humanitarian."
What do you call it?
Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them.
When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive?

Shabana Mahmood has announced that 'community groups' will be able to nominate individuals for asylum.
This is madness.
By creating a system in which admission to Britain depends less on the desperation of one’s plight than on the strength of one’s connections, the government has managed to undermine the entire moral case for asylum. And if sanctuary is in fact no longer about protecting those in greatest need, but rather just about whom a well-connected charity or prospective employer happens to favour, why are we doing it at all?

Sadiq Khan has made it completely impossible to build anything in London. That alone would be bad enough.
But he's also put a Hamas supporter in charge of a development project worth £2.5 billion.
Does he *ever* get *anything* right?
Nabil Al-Kinani, an Iraqi refugee who works as a development manager for the Royal Docks, has shared multiple social media posts appearing to praise Hamas, a proscribed terrorist group, and to glorify the October 7 attacks.

Holy shit..
As Russians continue to commit msssacres all across Ukraine, blowing up ships off the coast of NATO nations Romania and Bulgaria, sabotaging European railways and power plants across the EU, burning shopping malls in Poland and trying to blow up planes in Germany, the US merrily announces that Putin and the gang are coming to Florida to party.

I will do a Strictly podcast about the insanity of Lucy Powell’s policies and how she makes Bridget Phillipson look perfectly reasonable soon…
But my goodness, do we have an Education Secretary determined to ruin the lives of disadvantaged kids!! 🤯🤯
Whenever a government minister cites the advent of artificial intelligence as the justification for a policy, you can be certain that there has been an absence of actual intelligence in the reasoning behind it.
Nowhere is that clearer than in the Education Secretary's embrace of 'oracy' as the new priority for our schools. 'With AI on the rise,' Lucy Powell asserted, 'we need to go harder on the skills that make us human, like oracy.'
Ms Powell refrained from explaining what it is about large language models that requires a different approach to language teaching in our schools.
