Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today.
Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle.
They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice.

An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands

My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome.
We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls

The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.

But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

I do actually, but that doesn’t excuse willfull ignorance. John Davidson shouts all kinds of things at all kinds of people and he literally cannot help it.

America’s painfully acute main character syndrome on full display in the reaction to John Davidson’s ticks at the BAFTA’s. That man has done so much to inform and educate people about his disability and it seems too many can’t take the two minutes to educate themselves on his affliction. Shameful
