@OnthisdayRN @RoyalNavy I'm always fascinated by the number of common expressions that have nautical origins.

🔥 🔥 WATCH 👀 This is dynamite from former Clacton MP Charles Watling. “I said about 14 years ago that Nigel Farage was the most dangerous man in British politics, and he has proved to be so.” Watling then points to the extraordinary irony: Farage spent years campaigning for Brexit, taking Britain out of European asylum arrangements and now uses the Channel crossings crisis as political fuel. Create the problem. Campaign on the consequences.

@AllisonPearson Burnham in Makerfield: contested by all main parties. Farage in Clacton: main opponent was Count Binface (c. 25% of votes cast) Pathetic

That’s the whole point about Jew hate: it doesn’t need proof. Jews did 9/11, Jews did Ceuta, Jews control the weather, every terrorist attack is a Jewish ‘false flag’ etc etc. Look at the (disastrous) outgoing Colombian President’s tweets in the past week. He blames the election result on…… you guessed it! Stupid people can blame literally everything that upsets them on ‘the Jews’ , and our complex world instantly makes more sense to them. No need to actually understand or explore. It’s why Jew hate is the ultimate IQ test.

The way antisemitism has become common currency in our country is both shameful & shocking. Public figures engaging openly in antisemitic conspiracy theories without a care for the fact they have not a shred of proof.

Government says they “have to cut” the £2.8m budget for this world class telescope. How much did they spend on the PR, branding, consulting, and moving to Number 10 North? Why are we cutting funding to things that make us world leaders in Astrophysics?

How can such an important scientific resource be facing closure? This should be at the top of Burnham's in-tray.

@navalhistorian His memorial in Chichester Cathedral

Through decades of trauma and grief, the veterans have shown nothing but courage. The MoD displayed nothing but cowardice. To the government, these brave servicemen were simply guinea pigs. To @DailyMirror and I, they were heroes. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

BREAKING: The Ministry of Defence has admitted it ran an "extensive" programme of blood and urine tests on servicemen posted to nuclear weapons tests. But in a bid to limit publicity, it has published the results of a two-year review into the #NukedBlood Scandal I uncovered just as #England prepares to face #Argentina in the #WorldCup. The cynicism of @defencehq is breathtaking - especially as the report admits what amounts to a massive programme of human radiation experiments and wilful destruction of records, both of which cost lives. The review has been published stripped of recommendations for compensation which had been discussed with campaigners, and despite pleas from MPs for a Commons debate it was slipped out in a written statement by Veterans Minister @CalvinBailey. Its shocking contents - which are a complete vindication of nuclear veterans' testimony and my reporting over the past 20 years - will be covered in full later, with proper prominence, in @DailyMirror, the only newspaper which campaigned for these men when other media dropped the story. cc @atomiclabrats @andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP @RLong_Bailey @JasonMccue @EmmaLewell @Tobias_Ellwood @SteveBakerFRSA @BBCNewsnight

This is an amazing moment, and an historic one - the man who will be PM in a week's time, saying nuclear veterans were victims of an injustice and "this House must hear their call" for a 1yr tribunal to end the cover-up that has dogged thousands of lives for 74 years. @AndyBurnham says it is "entirely consistent" with the duty of candour in the Hillsborough Law, and there is widespread agreement across the Commons with his words. Maybe if that happens, the rest of Fleet Street will wake up and smell what I've been shovelling for 20 years.

Our nuclear test veterans on Newsnight discussing the upcoming release of the govt's report into missing medical records. Founder of LABRATS, Alan Owen states "the government now has to act". With Keir Starmer breaking his promise to meet them, it is now "Mr Burnham's problem".

"It's really disappointing... we're just still not that important enough for him to make time." Nuclear-test veterans campaigner Alan Owen after a meeting with the PM was "downgraded". Keir Starmer apologised, saying a report into medical records would be published. #Newsnight

"It's going to turn out to be a total whitewash... We are nothing in their view." Brian Unthank, nuclear test veteran, says he is "very angry" about a new Ministry of Defence report investigating unresolved questions about the medical records of veterans. #Newsnight

They’re now scared by a bin. Can it get any funnier ?

Binface is an establishment tool. Don’t be fooled by the act.

I asked but you didn’t answer. Here’s the question: As the son of a nuclear test veteran I would like to know if as Prime Minister you will commit to giving the nuclear test veterans and their families the truth and justice that they have been denied for over 70 years? Thanks.
