A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

The political-media establishment has a busy day ahead: whitewashing Zelensky’s torture chambers, downplaying the revelations, and making sure the story disappears from public view.

🚨 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. A shirtless lunatic in Chicago charged a firefighter at an active scene while a cop hesitated with a taser. The firefighter didn’t blink—swung his Halligan bar and dropped him INSTANTLY. Don’t mess with our first responders. Ever. 🇺🇸🔥

Imagine being Tomlinson, Downes & Benjamin and being played like this 🤡

So much arrogance but nothing to back it up. She’s a fraud.

An asylum centre right at the heart of a quiet North Yorkshire village is an utterly shocking place to put 1250 young foreign single men. @joymorrissey @CPhilpOfficial @AlecShelbrooke

I want to apologise to Allison Pearson for thinking that this insane post was written by her. And to Alex Phillips for not realising that she was its author. Though regular and honest readers of either of their posts will admit, I think, that it could have been written by either of them

Sin X nadie en Europa se habría enterado de lo sucedido en Polonia está noche. El jefe del gobierno Donald Tusk perpetró un intento de golpe de Estado aprovechando el viaje del jefe del estado Karol Nawrocky al extranjero. Asaltó el Tribunal Constitucional con la policía y pretendió destituir a presidente y vicepresidente del Constitucional con una juez leal sin competencias. Pero no contaba con el presidente que enterado ordenó al avion dar la vuelta cuando sobrevolaba España. Volvió a Varsovia, entró por la fuerza por delante de sus escoltas en el edficio del TC pese al cerco de policias de Tusk y convocó a todas las máximasx instituciones de Supremo y Constitucional para restablecer el orden Constitucional. Aunque la crisis continúa, parece claro que el gobierno de Tusk, el títere de Von der Leyen que jamás habría perpetrado este asalto sin permiso de Bruselas, tiene los días contados. Pero recuerden, los medios publicos y privados de toda Europa han sido cómplices del golpe de Estado silenciando toda la operación. Solo las redes sociales han alertado a polacos y europeos. Por eso quieren intervenirlas.

🇵🇱 HERE WE GO. Donald Tusk finally speaks on the Constitutional Court crisis, and yes, it's Russia. (We said he'll blame Russia on Monday. He didn't even wait that long.) After a full day of silence, Tusk finally spoke for five minutes. If you took a shot every time he said "rule of law," you'd be on your eighth before he got to the Russian bots. His main points: 🔸️The court built by PiS "is not a real court," and Nawrocki and PiS blocked every attempt to fix it. 🔸️His judges were "legally elected" and were "attacked," while the police were there to "protect the court from the attackers." 🔸️"In a state governed by the rule of law, a judge, even a petite woman, does not back down before an aggressive thug." That's a dig at Nawrocki. 🔸️"In a state governed by the rule of law, a politician cannot enter a court and give orders or intimidate judges, even if he is the president." Then he explained the whole crisis with a story: a thief snatches an old lady's handbag, and when he's caught, he screams that he's the victim. And then, right on schedule: "It is no accident that they find support around the world among pro-Russian forces. Today in this conflict they are benefiting from the support of an army of Russian bots on the internet. They have even received public compliments from the Kremlin's chief ideologue." In Tusk's version, the Supreme Court, the President and two of his own diplomats are a Russian influence operation. The riot police are the rule of law.

“Russian interference” is thisclose to topping French pop charts!

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade. If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade? On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare. There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain. As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again. This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

Celebrity Traitors winners BOTH donate their winnings to very well-funded refugee charities The final I was not expecting #CelebrityTraitors

I was hoping to be able to announce this in my own time – but the media rumour mill is swirling, I'm being contacted by various reporters and others, and I don't like denying the truth, so ... I wrote my first "Economic Agenda" column in The Sunday Telegraph 27 years ago, under the editorship of Dominic Lawson – filling-in occasionally during the late-1990s, before being given my own weekly slot from 2003. Since then, while I've been heavily involved in television, and am perhaps better known as a broadcaster, penning "Economic Agenda" for The Sunday Telegraph each week has been the backbone of my journalistic life. On Thursday, the @Telegraph rang to tell me my column is being scrapped. I was asked, and have agreed, to write "Economic Agenda" until the end of November, as per my contract. After that, my Sunday Telegraph column will be no more. Why this decision has been made, and whether or not my columns were any good, is for others to judge. All I will say is that, as the first person in my family to attend university, sustaining a weekly column in a leading national newspaper for a quarter of a century has been a source of enormous pride for myself and my family. Lots of people have been asking me about the future of "Planet Normal" - the hugely-popular Telegraph podcast which I co-created and co-present with the brilliant @AllisonPearson "Planet Normal" has, over the last 330 weekly episodes, also become a major part of my professional life and my broader identity. With Allison reportedly leaving the Telegraph as well, there is a lot of speculation about whether or not the podcast will continue to impart "news and views from beyond the bubble" with our usual blend of sharp analysis, humour and occasional outrage ! Well, I am delighted to confirm that Co-Pilot Pearson and myself are deeply committed to our joint podcast – and, above all, to our beloved listeners. We will, as and when notice periods allow, continue our voyages through space every Thursday – perhaps to "Planet Normal", or maybe to another part of the solar system – so we can "gaze down each week at the madness of Planet Earth", as we have done since the Spring of 2020. So citizens of Planet Normal, stand ready ! The "rocket-of-right-thinking", the "flying refuge of reasoned views", will soon be launched once again 🚀🪐👨‍🏭👱‍♀️🎙️📺 I poured my heart and soul into "Economic Agenda" and "Planet Normal". The Telegraph's decision to scrap them is obviously a huge personal blow. But I will always be grateful for the opportunities the paper has given me. Above all, I would like to thank the illustrious list of successive Telegraph business editors I've worked with since the late-1990s, many of whom have become and remain good friends - including @Peston @RobertsDan @larmitstead @neilbenet @benjaminmarlow @cg_williams @kamalahmednews @MarkKleinmanSky @jamesrquinn (sorry if I've forgotten anyone, it's been a long time!) On Friday, even though I almost always write my column from elsewhere, and despite being extremely disappointed by the paper's decision, I decided to go into the Telegraph and write today's column sitting in the newsroom. I am glad I did - as being at the heart of the paper at such a difficult time allowed for lots of conversations, with everyone from junior production staff to senior reporters and executives, which reminded me that journalism, despite being an industry at the whim of seemingly endless and often brutal commercial and technological upheaval, is not only hugely important to our country, but full of talented, decent people. See picture below, having just filed my piece, as I was heading out the door ...

Ukrainian soldier to Zelenskyy: “F*cking karma awaits you” Maybe the men who are left are finally getting it.

Says man who follows me and was all too happy to attend our July 4 party in DC this year 🤭🥂

The stand off around Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is about restoring rule of law to an institution which had been politicised by the populist government which lost power in the election of 2023. Its president repeatedly broke the law by steering politically sensitive cases to hand-picked judges. It failed to pass its own budget,

If you don’t want to take part in Halloween, don’t answer the front door or decorate your house. It’s that simple. This is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years in Britain, most importantly it’s for kids! The need to design posters or have the police and councils issue statements is batshit left wing nonsense. It’s funny that the far-left defending this woke rubbish are the same groups that scream “globalise the intifada”, grind cities to a halt, constantly intimidate the public, defend police being attacked with a sledgehammer all for “Gaza”. The same people who think riots in France are justified. The same people who think dog walking in the countryside should be banned. It’s one night a year, it’s for kids, it’s our tradition, leave it alone. The vast majority of the British public think this kind of stuff is pathetic and a waste of authorities’ time and resources. Police forces and councils should get off social media, stop wasting time and money (which they are desperately short of) and actually do the job they are paid for.
