'I argued for spending restraint. I wasn’t listened to.' Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp distances himself from Liz Truss’s mini-budget - despite being second-in-command at the Treasury at the time. It was the big girl, she made me do it!

Leicester v Sale what a game of Rugby

It seems that REFORM PLC are hiding behind the burka in a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the fact they’re falling apart. Councils in chaos, their chairman resigning and a complete lack of policies. All they have is culture wars. Pathetic, at best.

This is appalling, no decent Brit can stand by and see the brave fallen men of D-Day appropriated by fascist scum.

The scale of Overlord remains staggering. Over 156,000 Allied combatants hit five beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword), supported by nearly 7,000 naval assets providing fire support & transport, and an aerial armada of 11,590 aircraft ensuring air superiority.

Never seen in the same room.

I just can't imagine the terror of these guys landing on the beaches in '44. Hats off to them. And gratitude for saving democracy. Let's hope that we have the courage to do the same without these horrors.
