Conservative voter? In 281 seats, the Tories are the right's best chance.

The Chagos deal returns to the House of Commons soon after being kicked back by the House of Lords - this can only be defeated if enough MPs vote it down.
Write to your MP using our tool and let's stop the Chagos Deal!

We will remember them. Take 13 minutes to remind yourself of the heroes of 9/11 #wellescrowther #911Day #NeverForget
Every year on 9/11, I watch ESPN's "The Man in the Red Bandana," which tells the story of Welles Crowther, a former college lacrosse player who saved a dozen people in the South tower.
If you've never seen this, take 13 minutes and watch it now.

Definitely worth watching this movie and making up your own mind #climatechange
The main Climatista criticism of this excellent movie seems to be:
'Bad people made it and anyway I know its full of lies.
So I'm not going to bother to watch it.
Yah boo!'
Watch it yourself and make up your own mind

SUPERBOWL AD TO BE SHOWN TOMORROW
We thank billionaire businessman Robert Kraft who spent $7million of his own money just to run a single 60 second ad tomorrow.
You're so right @AllisonPearson We've had first hand experience of this from @DiageoGB in their recruitment in the UK. I don't think their shareholders will be too happy with the results.
Discrimination is now routine against white boys in jobs for which they are eminently qualified.
DEI obsessed HR departments are digging the grave of our sons.

Superb motivation for life. Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown ? Keep chasing. Never give up.
I can't stop thinking about this question:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.
If it doesn't get you motivated, you may need to check your pulse...
He opens with a few harsh truths:
• Winning isn't loyal to you
• Winning doesn't care about you
• Winning doesn't care how sore you are
• Winning doesn't care how hard you work
• Winning doesn't care how much sleep you get
But it's his question that stuck with me:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
The willingness to sprint with no clear view of the finish line is rare.
It requires two things:
1. A deep belief in one's self
2. A deep belief in the mission
If you have 1 but not 2, you won't be able to do it.
If you have 2 but not 1, you won't be able to do it.
You need both.
In my observation, the greatest things in life are accomplished when you're willing to sprint when the distance is unknown:
The sprint to care for your loved ones in their time of need.
The sprint to build something meaningful.
The sprint to serve others and create positive ripples in the world.
Goal: Find those rare things in life that you're willing to sprint for when the distance is unknown.
That, to me, is the definition of winning.
"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."

Very sorry to hear the news of Cllr Geoffrey Samuel's death last night. A superb servant of the people of Hampton North and the Borough of Richmond. His energy, intellect and wisdom will be sorely missed. #RIPGJS

Has Hamas sealed its fate with the grotesque magnitude of its barbarity? Let’s hope so.

Terrific article which really evoked small town Ecuador where I spent some of my youth. Well done .@GregorRoberts0n on this vividly descriptive piece. It's great journalism. And well done @thetimes for sending you. @UKinEcuador
So I spent some time in Ecuador last month, visiting some of the people and places that shaped Moisés Caicedo...

We know that parkruns operating in the custodial estate are popular and positive events, with the benefits of which impact the whole prison.
Now, with the results of research commissioned by @hmpps we can understand why 👉 parkrun.me/jpx7m
