Dave Chappelle: “Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly but…. I feel better.” This isn’t even comedy. It’s just sick…

For all you BBC TV licence payers.

It's absolutely shameful that so many leftists have joined Islamists in attacking an amazing young British Christian simply for exercising his freedom of expression. I, like many others, proudly stand with @YoungBobRB against these attacks. What has happened to Great Britain? The nation of Winston Churchill, who stood against tyranny when Europe was on its knees. The nation of William Shakespeare, whose words conquered the world without firing a shot. The nation of Isaac Newton, whose genius changed humanity's understanding of the universe. The nation of the Magna Carta, which helped lay the foundations of liberty and the rule of law. This is the Britain that gave the world courage, literature, science, parliamentary traditions, and the principle that freedom is worth defending. And now? The Muslim Brotherhood, whose Palestinian branch gave rise to Hamas, has networks and influence in Britain, while a young British Christian expressing his beliefs faces intimidation, hostility, and, at times, police intervention. How did a nation that stood alone against Nazi tyranny become a place where its own young people can feel abandoned for defending their beliefs? Britain did not survive the Blitz, defeat fascism, and defend its liberties across generations just to surrender its confidence to extremism and ideological intimidation. Where is the spirit of Churchill? Where is the courage of those who stood beneath the bombs and refused to surrender? Where is the pride of a civilization that taught generations that liberty comes with responsibility and courage? Great Britain was not built by people who surrendered to fear. It was built by people who refused to bow before it. @YoungBobRB, brother, from the other side of the world, know that you have family, friends, and people who admire your courage. Keep going. Keep speaking. Keep defending your freedoms, your Christian heritage, and the finest traditions of British civilization against extremism and backwardness. Never confuse the loudest voices with the soul of Britain. That soul still lives in those brave enough to defend its liberties. God bless you, and God bless Great Britain. 🇬🇧

Restore Britain will answer to Britain, and nobody else.

I want to address an allegation directly, because Reform politicians seem determined to spread the idea that I am somehow working in coordination with the Conservative Party and Kemi Badenoch. Yes, I was a member of the Conservative Party. In 1993. My children have since been born and grown up. It was more than thirty years ago. Literally, a lifetime ago. Many of the Reform leadership certainly can’t say the same. Yes, I've met Kemi Badenoch. I speak to her occasionally. I like her personally. We have worked together in Parliament. She spoke positively about our rape gang inquiry, and I thanked her for it. Numerous Conservative MPs have supported my parliamentary work, including our inquiry. Esther McVey. Nick Timothy. Jack Rankin. Peter Bedford. I could go on. I am not going to apologise for that. I will work with anyone in Parliament who is prepared to help deliver meaningful change. We have achieved results by doing precisely that. Does that mean I forgive the Conservatives for what they did to Britain between 2010 and 2024? Absolutely not. It was a betrayal. I have literally established a national political party to fight them at the ballot box. I am delighted when we beat them, which is a growing amount. All that should be a fairly substantial clue… But opposing a political party does not require you to behave like a petulant child towards every single person associated with it. Conservative MPs believed I would do a good job on the Public Accounts Committee. I accepted the opportunity to scrutinise government spending and fight for British taxpayers. Again, absolutely no apologies. I think we have delivered results. Now let's compare that with Reform. Reform tried to have me imprisoned over false allegations. I would be in prison today if they had their way. Despite everything, I have repeatedly attempted to work with Reform MPs in Parliament. I have invited them to support initiatives, collaborate on important issues and help deliver results. Time and again, those invitations have been ignored. My emails don’t even get a reply. I happily sign their motions and support their efforts, I did earlier this week. The feeling is not mutual. They complain. They moan. They attack. They endlessly manufacture personal grievances. But ask them to put their animosities aside and actually achieve something together? Suddenly, it's total silence. I've received more constructive support in Parliament from Labour MPs than from Reform. Think about that. It is grievance politics at its most pathetic. Negative, unproductive and deeply unprofessional. My position is incredibly straightforward. At elections, we are opponents. In Parliament, we have a responsibility to get things done. I believe that is what our constituents want us to do. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think not. Reform claim we stand in more local council Reform seats than anyone else. Yes, because so many more Reform councillors resign in disgrace than any other party. We are moving towards standing in 100% of local council by-elections. We’ve stood in Reform seats, Labour seats, Tory seats. Everywhere and anywhere. I intend to fight both Reform and the Conservatives for every vote. I want Restore Britain to win over millions of people who previously voted for those parties. But that does not mean I have to insult everyone I disagree with, refuse to speak to political opponents or sabotage decent initiatives because somebody else might receive a little credit. I was elected to represent my constituents, not to participate in an endless Westminster playground feud. Do I like Kemi Badenoch and some other Conservative MPs personally? Yes. Will I work with them when it benefits the British people? Yes. Do I fundamentally oppose the Conservative Party's record and want Restore Britain to defeat them electorally? Yes. Their 14 years of power was an utter betrayal, and is largely responsible for the social, economic and demographic vandalism we have endured. All three things can be true. Any serious adult should be capable of understanding that. It is not difficult to comprehend. I will work with Conservatives. I will work with Labour. I will work with Reform, if they ever decide to behave constructively. Reform's increasingly nasty, brash and personally unpleasant approach to politics says far more about them than it does about me. It’s just downright rude. They seem to believe that refusing to work with anyone is a demonstration of strength. In my view, it’s a weakness that erodes our politics and fails our constituents. I have said it again and again. I will work with anyone in parliament to deliver for the British people. And I make no apologies for doing so.

What the hell is going on here? Footage allegedly shows a Greater Manchester Police officer striking a man in the face with handcuffs. This is now the second incident I've seen this week involving handcuffs being used to strike someone. Another officer appears to have his full body weight on the man, who, to me, looks reasonably under control. It's unclear when this footage was filmed or what led up to the incident. If anyone has further details, please share them.
