Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power."

New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

I'm certain government ending a lot of short term prison sentences will enrage many. But I've never known anyone to work in or with a prison, in including an ex prison minister, who hasn't said that they are the wrong places for the vast majority of inmates.

“Tabloids tell us Connolly is lovely, ordinary, caring, a great Mum. But she wasn’t punished for any of that. She was punished for telling a mob it's okay to set fire to hotels full of people she sees as lesser. That she did it between a cuppa and walking the dog, makes it more chilling, not less.”

Meet the non-doms fighting Rachel Reeves’s tax raid With chancellor planning tax shake-up in this month’s Budget, Foreign Investors for Britain is trying to affect debate

It's a tax "raid". When you or I pay our income tax it's just a tax. But when a fabulously wealthy millionaire who refuses to contribute to the country whose public services they use (and yes, they use roads, defence, police etc) it's a "raid".

Very revealing moment on Channel 5 earlier today.

Ann Widdecombe claimed people abuse disability benefits.

I asked several times for her evidence - she said she’d “heard it from people” when she was a minister.

My response? That right there is why our country is in a mess.

Have you seen etianverse.com? Glasgow based! @etianversestudios.bsky.social

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Absolutely this!

This is absolutely spot on!

How to be a man The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Home Office recorded 1500 asylum hotel complaints in 2023 Asylum hotel providers receive billions in government contracts while residents report harassment and abuse

You should read this article about the horrifying abuse of people seeking asylum. These so called hotels are more like dehumanising holding pens where sexual abuse is rife and children are getting rickets www.opendemocracy.net/en/asylum-ho...

I’m going to keep being dangerous…are you? 🤔

What did you think of “The Good Father”? Made me feel like I felt when I read “We Need to Talk About Kevin”. Utterly fascinating but gut wrenching and unputdownable!

@johnswinney.bsky.social there are children who go hungry in my school everyday, I am disgusted at the money being offered to help fund the American President’s course to hold the Open! 🤬🤯
