Mass immigration, both legal and illegal, has fundamentally changed Britain's demographic makeup.
Today in Parliament, I just demanded a full debate on our country's demographic future.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992) has among the greatest scores ever. Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman make it soar, but Dougie MacLean’s The Gael is the heartbeat of it all. And Clannad’s I Will Find You? So haunting. This soundtrack is an absolute knockout.
What’s your GOAT original film score?
Not a compilation of existing songs or the usual Zimmer and Williams picks, but a score that stayed with you long after the credits rolled and became something you return to just to listen to. CONAN THE BARBARIAN and STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN are two personal favourites. What’s yours?

How can a terrorist regime that blinded these women, sexually assaulted these political prisoners, and subjected them to mock executions be nominated to a UN committee that helps shape programs on human rights?
This is not just a slap in the face to the people of Iran. It is an insult to every democratic nation that claims to stand for human rights.
We are standing in German Parliament with a mother whose daughter was executed with a woman whose brother was executed by this regime.
They are holding the pictures of protesters who received death sentence.
Now imagine telling these women and men that the very regime responsible for their suffering has been nominated to a UN committee that helps shape the organization’s programs and priorities.
How can you look these women in the eyes and still call this human rights diplomacy?
A reminder that you can't hate this government enough.
😡 Furious Maggie Oliver calls out Andy Burnham for sending lawyers to court to fight against implementing the child sexual abuse inquiry recommendations
Maggie was on Sky News explaining that her charity is currently in the middle of a judicial review challenging the government’s failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
She described what they are hearing in court as horrific, disgusting and dismissive. Government lawyers have argued that the fact the IICSA recommendations have not been implemented has caused “no detriment to anybody.” Oliver challenged this directly, pointing to the false hope created by repeated promises.
The government has responded that promises made in Parliament carry no legal obligation and are protected by parliamentary privilege. Her side is arguing that successive Prime Ministers and Home Secretaries have made the same promises outside Parliament as well.
She noted that the government is also claiming it has no obligation to implement the inquiry’s recommendations at all. Oliver said this position horrifies her and makes her angry, and that she hopes shining a spotlight on the case will shame the government into action.
She also addressed Andy Burnham’s recent comments about the David Walliams and Russell Brand cases, in which he said victims’ stories would bring change. Oliver pointed out that as Prime Minister he is now in the strongest possible position to act, yet his government is sending lawyers to court to argue against implementing the recommendations of a seven-year inquiry that gave thousands of survivors hope.
She finished by saying the issue matters and makes her angry, that words will not bring change and they need to put their money where their mouth is and act.

I’m at Leeds Civic Hall. @MothinAli is talking about Israel. It’s all about Israel. He’s talking about a fictional ‘genocide’ by Israel. He is telling Israelis what they are. He is telling them they shouldn’t exist. Israel Israel Israel.
He’s councillor for HAREHILLS in LEEDS

Received briefings from Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhenii Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant disruptions to Starshield’s operations over the territory of Ukraine for several days now – along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, systematic speed restrictions are being imposed on Starshield, limiting it to 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour). The Ukrainian military have already investigated the circumstances, and these are not random errors but systematic speed restrictions. For us, this primarily means a significant complication in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Unfortunately, there have already been strikes that got through because our interception systems cannot reach sufficient speeds and are unable to intercept in time. Unfortunately, this is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more accurate strikes against Ukraine. We are trying to establish all the circumstances with the American side.

One of my dads closest friends was a man who was arrested by the communist secret police, tied to a chair, had his fingernails torn out with pliers until he gave a false confession.
I learned everything I need to know about people like you from talking to him about those people.

As a retired master sergeant, I love that this young man is more afraid of his sergeant than he is of the secretary of defense.
He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🫡

Stop wasting time with these charades and focus on the only thing that will end the war: kicking Russia out of Ukraine.
Once again proving that yet another round of fake negotiations was only meant to serve as theatrical background for the Trump family to remove Russia sanctions while blaming Ukraine, Putin's chief negotiator Medinsky in Abu Dhabi confirms that Putin still intends on occupying Ukraine.

A Russian Air Force colonel was killed when his vehicle suddenly exploded this morning in St. Petersburg. No other injuries were reported.
She does not like him using facts. 🤣
Amazing dialogue on CNN.
"The Black fatherlessness rate is the worst out of all the demographics in this country, unfortunately"
"Excuse me, that's a false steroetype Black fathers are in the household more than any other race."
"What are your facts on that?"
"I had a father in my home."
"That's called anecdotal, but that's ok"

This should end Thunberg's career and 'celebrity' status, but of course it won't, as she's already moved on to another part of the commie omnicause.
Greta Thunberg is told about the latest Fridays for Future demo happening in Berlin – the climate protest she helped found. She bursts out in laughter. "Really? They're still doing that?"
Jokes on you climatetards. Left has moved on.

The Free Speech Union is deeply troubled by what is happening in the Welsh Parliament.
The freedom of elected representatives to speak is at the heart of our democracy. Those we elect to represent us should be able to voice their constituents’ concerns, however uncomfortable they may be for some to hear.
We stand with @joemartin1066 and every elected representative’s right to speak freely in their Parliament.
