Kemi Badenoch is upset that Labour have cut some of the Brexit red tape that hindered businesses that her party spent so long putting in place

Aping Farage & attacking migrants is doing *incalculable damage* to Labour’s ratings. Anybody decent still in Labour who’s watching - how far will you let them go on this path to destroy you? Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves & Yvette Cooper must go. What are you waiting for?

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

THE ECONOMIST: Farage's economic vision: a perilous path to austerity or fiscal collapse, leaving the left to ponder the implications for Britain's future.

2016: Daniel Hannan said that outside the European Union the UK's steel industry would be revived 2025: BBC report on the need to rescue Britain's steel industry Hannan also said we could "hire and fire" the people who pass our laws, but now he sits unelected in the House of Lords passing our laws

Happy-being-cancelled by-LBC-Anniversay! This time last year... That a journalist can be cancelled by pressure from another country should worry every journalist In the UK - where is their solidarity for one of their own?

Blimey. I wonder whether Garrigill, in Cumbria, has been classified as a hen harrier persecution hotspot? I can see why the prominent grouse moor landowners might want that status kept under wraps. #RaptorResearch #Ornithology #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/03/05/n...

Brilliant campaigning from @wwtworldwide.bsky.social ft Megan McCubbin in spoof video at the Duck & Cover restaurant. The use of humour as a campaign tool shouldn't be underestimated. #BanLead #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/02/11/t...

Now past 56,000 signatures - thank you everyone!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

On Saturday the Beaufort hounds entered the royal Highgrove estate hunting a fox. Whip Dan Hammett, on a pavement with his horse, directing traffic; hounds dangerously out of control on a NSL across solid white lines. Listen at the end, the entitlement is staggering... youtu.be/EHe5a9DjhLY?...

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate “This snare was placed alongside a rare Chalk Stream which is regularly used by otters” Repost if you agree there should be a UK wide ban on these devices!
