This is superb from @SuellaBraverman. She tears SHREDS out of the govts dangerous decision to ignore safety concerns and house illegal migrants in Piddington. She rightly calls out the fact there are NO female Labour MPs taking part in this debate. She does NOT hold back! 🔥

Excellent interview from Kemi Badenoch on @GMB today. We do need to leave the ECHR and under Kemi Badenoch, we will. Then we can deport all illegal migrants. We also need to cut taxes and increase defence spending. Andy Burnham doesn’t have the right priorities. Weak.

Charlie Ireland was supposed to meet with representatives of the Labour Party including 'The Labour Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' to discuss farming & agriculture. They’ve cancelled on him, for the third time.

In 1967 Britain had more electric vehicles on its roads than every other country on earth put together, and they were all delivering milk. There were tens of thousands of them. The milk float: open sided, battery under the floor, top speed of about 15 miles an hour, and a whine you could pick out in your sleep. It was charged overnight at the depot and was back there by lunchtime. It carried glass bottles. Each one was collected from your step the next morning, washed and refilled. A bottle went round like that 20 or 30 times before it broke. The foil cap went for scrap. There was no other packaging. The milk had come from farms within a few miles, through a local dairy, and was on the step before 7. So here is what the country had. A zero-emission delivery fleet. Reusable containers with a return rate any modern scheme would kill for. No plastic. A supply chain you could cycle the length of. A man who noticed if an old lady's bottles were piling up, and knocked. It was dismantled in about 15 years, because a supermarket could sell milk a few pence cheaper in a plastic jug as a way of getting you through the door. Every piece of that system is now the subject of a government target for 2040. It was running in 1967, silently, in the dark, and nobody thought it was worth a mention.

A Negligent Government, Warned and Unmoved Iran has told Britain, in its own words, that it treats the Channel as a weapon. Iranian officials said their smuggling routes are "owned" in part by the IRGC and are "more useful" to Tehran than a missile, because they can move "revolutionary people" into London who simply wait to be told what to do. Tehran's own officials said this, on the record, describing the method themselves. Sir Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, has said his agency has foiled more than twenty potentially lethal Iran-backed plots on British soil. Lord Walney's report found a network of UK charities spreading Khomeinist ideology, several in receipt of Gift Aid, with governance links to Iranian state institutions. The IRGC's Islamic Radio and Television Union operates openly from Manchester and Wembley, broadcasting praise for Hamas and Hezbollah commanders as martyrs. In September, the IRGC addressed an open letter not to the American public generally but specifically to "scholars, students, and members of the media", naming the audience it has judged most useful to its message. Every detail here is published record from the last twelve months, not speculation. Then came RAF Fairford. Five British men were arrested near the base used by US bombers in operations against Iran, then bailed. A sixth man, a UK-Iranian dual national, was arrested in Westminster on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and has also been bailed. Andy Burnham told the BBC there were "strong indications" Iran was involved. Benjamin Netanyahu has since claimed Israel handed British authorities intelligence warning of an "Iranian-sponsored attack", only for Britain to announce sanctions on Israeli settlement trade the following day. Whatever the truth of that sequence, a Prime Minister has publicly linked a hostile state to an attempted attack on a British airbase, and the men investigated over it are walking free on bail. This is the government that continues to welcome boats carrying record numbers of unvetted arrivals, dispersing them across the country, no verification against watchlists and no way of ruling out exactly the embedding Iran itself has described. A government cannot claim ignorance of a threat it has proscribed. It designated the IRGC under state-threat powers in July. It has read Walney's report. It has heard its own intelligence chief's warnings. And it continues operating a system Jonathan Hall KC has already found releases people before checks are complete. Call it what it is. A government told exactly what the threat looks like and still failing to close the gap it moves through is negligence. Continuing to process record Channel numbers through a system its own reviewer says cannot reliably verify who is arriving is recklessness. And when ministers call for calm, dismiss the question as alarmist, or sanction the very ally offering intelligence on the threat, the word edging into view is complicity, not with Tehran's aims, but with the conditions that let Tehran's method keep working. Russia weaponises migration on NATO's eastern border, and Western governments say so plainly. Iran has told Britain, through its own officials, that it does the same across the Channel. The difference is that nobody in Warsaw or Vilnius pretends not to have heard it. Britain has heard it from Tehran directly, confirmed it through its own intelligence service, and chosen to keep the door exactly as open as before. Nobody in government can say they were not warned. The warnings came from Iran's own mouth. Prime Minister, Andy Burnham and Mojtaba Khamenei, the Iranian Supreme Leader. "Iran has told Britain, in its own words, that it treats the Channel as a weapon."

🚨 NEW: Shabana Mahmood will open a new refugee route that prioritises Afghan women and Palestinians [@guardian]

Britain Can Find £88 Million for Palestine. Its Army Is Told to Find £30 Million in Cuts There are moments when two government announcements, placed side by side, tell you more about political priorities than a hundred speeches. Britain has committed more than £88 million this financial year to humanitarian and early recovery support for Palestinians. At home, the British Army has reportedly been ordered to find savings of around £30 million, with major training exercises suspended and reservists losing service days. Read those figures again. £88 million for Palestine. £30 million squeezed from the training of the men and women whose first responsibility is defending Britain. The package forms part of a wider £127 million bilateral aid allocation for Palestine in 2026/27, intended for healthcare, clean water, sanitation, waste management and rehabilitation for children injured in the conflict. Those are stated humanitarian purposes, and money earmarked for a hospital is not the same as money handed to a militia. But that distinction has a history of not holding. The Palestinian Authority already runs a payment scheme, worth over $300 million a year, that rewards convicted terrorists according to sentence length. In Gaza, donors from the EU to Qatar have watched their own materials, water pipes, concrete, fuel, repurposed into rocket casings and tunnel networks, with Hamas leaders openly admitting as much on camera. Money is fungible. Aid that frees up funds for a hospital frees up other funds for something else entirely. Britain has no serious mechanism to guarantee that £88 million stays confined to bandages and water pumps. Meanwhile the Army is being asked to save roughly one third of that sum, at the exact moment Europe faces its gravest security environment in decades. Defence officials have warned the measures risk weakening Britain's military credibility. Ukraine has shown what modern industrial warfare actually consumes in men, ammunition and armour. NATO wants greater readiness. Somewhere inside Whitehall, someone still decided that training exercises were the place to find £30 million. The government will say these are different budgets. Of course they are. Treasury accounting can put money into whatever departmental boxes ministers choose. The taxpayer has only one pocket, and that taxpayer is not in a generous mood. Real wages have barely moved in years, mortgage costs remain painful, energy bills are soaring, and household budgets are stretched thin enough that asking people to accept squeezed defence spending while £88 million heads abroad, to a territory whose governing bodies have a documented record of diverting aid toward violence, is a harder sell than ministers seem to appreciate. It's also worth asking what recipients of British generosity, more broadly, actually think of the country supplying it. Britain's aid budget flows disproportionately toward states and territories where Western values are treated with open contempt, and where women's basic freedoms are routinely stripped away by law. That's not a reason to abandon every humanitarian instinct. It is a reason to stop pretending gratitude, partnership or shared values are guaranteed to follow the cheque. A government has countless responsibilities, but one precedes all the others: defence of the realm. Without security, everything else is academic. Britain can afford compassion abroad. It cannot afford compassion abroad purchased through diminished readiness at home, financed by a public already struggling to make ends meet, and directed toward institutions with a track record of letting aid slip toward the wrong hands. If ministers can commit £88 million to Palestine, they should explain to British soldiers why finding £30 million for their training has apparently become too difficult, and to British taxpayers why their patience is the resource nobody in Whitehall thought worth budgeting for.
