In 2026, the choices we’ve made will mean more people will begin to feel positive change. The promise of renewal will become a reality, and Britain will turn the corner. From my family to yours: Happy New Year.

🚨NEWS: Andy Burnham has announced two major UK offshore wind projects - powering millions of homes and creating thousands of jobs.

People genuinely don't understand this: 1. The global average IQ is 84. It's not the only factor but it's a major one. 2. Most successful ethnic groups have an average IQ of 100-105. The highest (Ashkenazi Jews) sit at about 107-112. 3. In order for a society to thrive, it needs to have an average IQ over 100. 103-105 or so seems to be the threshold. At 103-105, you get peak England, the Scandinavian countries or peak Germany. At 100 you get France, and at 98 Spain. The difference between global domination and also-ran is surprisingly small; just 2-3 IQ points. Another 4-5 and you're a basket case country like the Philippines or Bulgaria or modern Greece. 4. IQ can, within a population, shift solely through genetics, by 0.5-1.0 points per generation. Social factors can magnify that effect by 5-7 points. Consequently, the functional IQ of a population can change enough in one generation for a society to go from "world domination" to " basket case." A more realistic outcome is that this can take 2 or 3 generations to happen. Well, that is what happened. People often misinterpret the Flynn effect and think that IQs are rising but they're not. They're declining. 5. America is now too low IQ to maintain its position as world hegemon. More so, current birthrate trends have us rapidly entering not just "also ran" territory but "basket case." The only reason we will stay on top is because we're absurdly rich compared to the rest of the world so we have a long way to fall before anyone catches us. 6. Successful countries become successful usually through a long process of breeding themselves into a higher IQ and then matching that with a social organization that maximizes it. All it takes is one bad generation to destroy what took centuries to gain. This is why today's Greeks aren't like the Greeks of golden age antiquity, and today's Romans aren't like the Romans of old. 7. The highest IQ populations today are both not reproducing but also replacing themselves with low IQ populations. Even Israel is only 1/3 Ashkenazi with lower IQ groups making up the majority of the country. It is worth noting that the Haredi (the cohort with the highest total fertility rate) is about 80% Ashkenazi, but I have no available data on their average IQ. My point is that IQ does not appear to be an evolutionary advantage in the modern age and as such, it isn't being selected for. This suggests that we're in a race against decline. We need to solve the IQ problem through technology before we simply run out of smart people living in functioning societies.

Kemi Badenoch says the British Empire was “overall a force for good”. It shipped 3.2 million Africans in chains, drained an estimated $45 trillion from India and left taxpayers paying enslavers’ bill for 180 years. She looked at a crime against humanity and called it a favour.

Andy Burnham: “The reason the small boat crisis has arisen is we can’t return people and we have people knowing we can’t.” The Prime Minister has argued that the arrival of around 213,000 illegal migrants across the Channel was a consequence of Britain leaving the EU.

For too long, confident spoken communication has been kept for the few. Now, it will be the right of every child. Here’s what I’m changing👇🏻 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

UK wage inflation (quarter to Aug '26): Regular pay +3.7% y-o-y (previous 3.5%); +0.8% in real terms (using CPI) Pay w bonuses +3.7% y-o-y (previous 3.9%); +0.9% real Public sector 6.3% (6.3%); private 3.0% (2.9%) (both ex-bonus; 6.3% vs 3.1% inc bonus)

If I was Prime Minister , if I was Burnham , watching European cities ablaze . . . I’d instigate a ‘wealth tax’ at about 9.01am tomorrow morning . Just saying . Or should we just ‘eat cake’ ?

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.   The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.   But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.   That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.   It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

“The family were seated when they were confronted by a man. He became aggressive, then assaulted and bit the man holding the baby. Family members who tried to intervene were also assaulted. He left the train at Woolwich Arsenal station and fled before officers arrived.

I want to be honest about how we’ve got to a place where British billpayers are paying some of the highest energy costs in Europe. Over the past 40 years, we’ve given up control of our necessities, outsourced our essentials and privatised the basics. Water, transport, housing. And of course, energy. Now the public are paying the price. We haven’t invested in the infrastructure we need. Conflict overseas has pushed up energy costs and it’s hurting our businesses and families. That’s why we need to take back greater control of our energy system. This week, I announced Great British Grid, which will speed up connections and push down bills. We’re also giving mayors, local leaders and communities a stronger role. With funding for People’s Power projects, communities will be able to build solar panels on libraries and town halls, hydro schemes in rivers or publicly owned windfarms on local land. But it’s not just energy we need stronger public control over. It’s also water, housing, transport and care. So we’re repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies. We’re building more council homes than this country has seen since the end of World War Two. We’re reforming the leasehold system so families aren’t squeezed for every penny. And we’re opening up home ownership for first time buyers who can’t rely on the bank of mum and dad. This week I also announced my determination to introduce a National Care Service, to put people above profit and to give pensioners peace of mind. Together, we’ll rewire the country from top to bottom so that it works for all people in all places. That is the only way to put Britain back on the right path. It’s the only way to put power back in people’s hands. And it’s the only way we will bring hope again.

🚨NEWS: A migrant rapist who attacked women and girls to 'Teach them a lesson not to be out at night' has won the right to be moved to a comfortable open air prison Sunny Islam, of course he's a Muslim, has been granted the right to be moved to an open prison where he will be free to come and go and be trusted to return to the prison at night Our stupid insane legal system has allowed a monster who dragged women and girls off in the night to rape them, access to the general public again. I have no words other than if we lived in a just society, he would have been hung and the people who granted him access to an open prison would be in jail. The parole board said they made the decision based upon his anxiety I honestly am sick to death of this country Absolutely sickening

This man is a hero. Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit. Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers. Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives. Indian. Israeli. Emirati. Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪 We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

Enough is enough. For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti’s cancellations, delays, overcrowding, and a service that has failed them time and time again. So my Labour government is bringing Avanti West Coast into public ownership at the earliest opportunity in March next year. That means passengers, not shareholders, will come first. More investment, fewer delays, and a renewed focus on getting the basics right. We're putting essential services back in public hands and building a railway that actually works for the people who use it.

Hilarious that Danny Tommo pled not guilty. We literally watched you brandish a knife and stab a boat with a rescue worker on it. You recorded it yourself. He'd be funny if he wasn't so dangerous.
