That documentary is genuinely one of the most raw, unfiltered accounts of the Falklands War ever produced. It strips away the sanitized political history and forces the viewer to look at the absolute butcher's bill paid by British servicemen. The fact that France and Germany are currently in a bidding war to supply Argentina with a fleet of attack submarines isn't just an insult to that sacrifice—it is a brutal exposure of how naive this current Labour government is regarding European relations. Here is a highly aggressive, historically grounded four-part thread you can use to dismantle this situation. It brings in the visceral facts from the documentary, breaks down the cynical European defense grift, and highlights the absolute weakness of Starmer’s "EU reset." 🧵👇 youtu.be/V887sYcmIAc?is=oKxi…

Read that warning from US Congressman Jason Crow—a member of the US House Armed Services Committee—very carefully, because the national security implication is terrifying. When senior defense lawmakers are openly admitting on national television that Western governments have surrendered the master kill-switches of modern warfare to private tech executives, sovereign defense is officially dead. If an unelected civilian in Texas can flick a switch mid-combat to instantly blind an allied frontline, abort drone strikes, and alter the outcome of a European war, national sovereignty is an illusion. We aren't relying on sovereign military capability anymore—we are relying on corporate benevolence and end-user license agreements for survival.
After Elon Musk posted on X saying he had throttled Ukraine’s use of Starlink after it was used for offensive attacks, House Armed Services Committee member Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) says the billionaire’s ability to wield that power is “beyond disturbing to me.” “It cannot and should not be the case that a tech oligarch, a private citizen, who has that much control over our national security, who is unaccountable, who is unelected, with zero transparency, is making life and death decisions on the battlefield in systems that our service members and our partners and allies rely upon,” he adds.

Zelenskyy continues to demonstrate real leadership under immense pressure. As he has rightly pointed out, European input in these negotiations is essential. While US and Russian envoys focus heavily on economic leverage—floating sanctions relief, unfreezing sovereign assets, and financial trade routes—the core issue remains European security. Zelenskyy’s push for a united European voice ensures that fundamental security principles aren't traded away for financial expedience.

Fascinating to see Lib Dem President and Eastbourne MP @JoshBabarinde lecturing people on political courage. What exactly are your grand political achievements since entering Parliament? Squeezing into Ed Davey’s photo-ops, spending a year as a junior party spokesperson before stepping back, and now serving as chief hall monitor for Twitter drama? While Britain suffers under a £50bn+ welfare explosion, crushed public services, and record taxation, the absolute peak of Lib Dem parliamentary ambition is monitoring LBC radio interviews to demand politicians issue official statements about mean tweets. Truly a giant of modern British political history.
Robert Jenrick is pathetic. It’s not that difficult to see, nor say, that these comments about Kemi are racist. What a coward.

Corporate Britain’s idea of free speech in a nutshell: You can openly express left-of-centre opinions in the office without a second thought, but the second a young conservative commentator like Sophie Corcoran expresses mainstream right-leaning views publicly, HR drops the hammer for making colleagues uncomfortable. Notice how HR never cares about making conservative employees feel uncomfortable. They don't want neutrality; they want ideological compliance.

This is what the Net Zero agenda looks like behind the curtain: politicians pushing aggressive EV mandates and sales charges on working families while their own inner circles and spouses hold commercial ties to the industry. Quietly handing the decision over to Louise Haigh to avoid a conflict of interest doesn't fix the underlying rot. The entire green transition has become a revolving door of corporate lobbying, family links, and political cronyism—all paid for by the British motorist. Total institutional farce.
The Prime Minister has reportedly handed over responsibility for any changes to electric car sales charges to Louise Haigh, the First Secretary of State. It comes amid concerns about an alleged conflict of interest given the role Marie-France van Heel, Mr Burnham’s wife, plays in the EV industry ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Sir Craig Oliver—former BBC executive turned David Cameron's chief spin doctor—lecturing Reform on media tactics is hypocrisy at it's finest. When an ITV undercover reporter allegedly uses doctored identity documents and commits potential canvassing offences, holding the broadcaster accountable under the law isn't a lack of "confidence"—it's exposing media entrapment. The Westminster cartel thinks broadcasters should operate above the law, and when someone calls the police on them, the spin doctors panic.

This is why the Tories are done. @BenObeseJecty calling colleagues turncoats because they refuse to fall for LBC’s low-tier identity politics traps shows a party completely detached from real voters. Stop demanding politicians act as online censor-in-chiefs and start addressing the structural ruin 14 years of Tory governance left behind.
First Danny Kruger, now Robert Jenrick. Why do these gutless turncoats find it so hard to answer whether calling Kemi Badenoch a “Nigerian scammer” is racist? If Raheem Kassam is just “a journalist”, and not a key part of Nigel’s inner circle, why are they protecting him?

This is a textbook case of institutional capture. Lula appoints his own former personal defense lawyer, Cristiano Zanin, to the Supreme Court. Then, in a razor-thin presidential election, Zanin steps in right at poll-closing to issue a nationwide two-hour voting extension and halt the vote count. When the judiciary and executive become a closed-loop syndicate, basic democratic process is rewritten on the fly. Total subversion of the rule of law.
BREAKING: Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin has ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting in today’s presidential election on the request from President Lula due to public transport problems. Zanin has Lula’s personal lawyer for years before Lula made him a Supreme Court Justice

Labour tinkering with micro-exemptions for pensioners is typical Treasury gimmickry. Raising the tax-free Personal Allowance to £15,000 doesn't just protect pensioners from being dragged into the tax net by inflation—it puts real money back into the pockets of 40 million working adults across Britain. But that requires trimming a bloated, wasteful civil service and a £50bn+ welfare bill, which neither Labour nor the Tories have the backbone to cut.
He should do as Reform would and raise the tax free Personal Allowance to £15,000. No-one would pay income tax on the state pension. And 40 million people would get a tax cut. But then he’d have to cut wasteful spending. Which he won’t.

A seismic geopolitical shift in the Balkans. Aleksandar Vučić conceding to a student-led anti-corruption movement isn't just the end of a 14-year regime in Belgrade—it's a massive strategic blow to Moscow. Serbia was the Kremlin's primary foothold and political proxy in South-Eastern Europe. When an entrenched political machine that controls the state media, police, and economy gets dismantled at the ballot box by organic, anti-corruption opposition, it proves that even the most deeply rooted establishment regimes aren't invincible.

The Liberal Democrats have spent less then 6 years in power in over a hundred years and even that was part of a coalition government. They should focus on building for the next hundred years rather than fantasizing about RN frigates.

The sheer audacity of @griffithandrew complaining about a £3 trillion national debt after 14 years of Conservative government. Who added nearly £1.7 trillion to that exact debt pile between 2010 and 2024? The Tories. Who left Britain with the highest tax burden in 70 years, tens of billions squandered on PPE waste, and national debt floating at 100% of GDP? The Tories. Labour refuses to name spending cuts because they’d rather crush taxpayers with massive tax hikes—all while quietly gutting £3.5 billion from frontline defence behind closed doors. Watching a former Tory Treasury minister act like a born-again fiscal conservative while ignoring his own party's financial wreckage is peak Uniparty theatre.
Angela Rayner can’t name a single pound of spending that Labour will cut - not one! 🤯 We are £3 trillion in debt, borrowing more just to pay the interest. Get a grip.

The fake dad scam is just the tip of a multi-million-pound iceberg that both Labour and the Tories have actively swept under the rug. The Home Office deliberately obfuscates statistical data on sham birth registrations because disclosing the sheer volume would break public trust permanently. Under current regulations, any man can be listed on a British birth certificate without mandatory DNA verification—creating a golden loophole that activist immigration lawyers exploit for thousands in legal aid fees to lock in Article 8 (Family Life) claims. While corrupt legal firms cash in by coaching fraudsters on fake parenthood, fabricated sexuality claims, and bogus persecution stories, the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. The Uniparty built this racket; only @ZiaYusufUK and Reform have the guts to expose it.
Single mothers with British citizenship are being pressured into registering 'asylum seekers' as their baby's father to help men commit immigration fraud. Known as the 'fake dad' scam, it is believed to be organised by the same criminal gangs behind countless 'sham marriages'. In one case, a couple with a newborn baby didn't speak the same language, lived hundreds of miles apart, and the ‘father’ didn’t even know the woman’s name. How many nonsense stories like this have enabled people to stay here? Whistleblowers have revealed mountains of fraud – non-existent gay relationships, bogus political dissidents, pretending to be children. The Tories and Labour created an asylum system that has become a scam on the British people. Reform will end it. We will take our country back.

Labour walking away from the Canada-led Defence Bank because they couldn't get their way on HQ location sums up Westminster comms: big grandstanding on international partnerships, zero ability to deliver. Meanwhile, the MoD is quietly absorbing £3.5B in Treasury cuts at home. Total institutional paralysis.
NEW: Britain is walking away from joining the Canada-led international Defence, Security & Resilience Bank @FT first revealed last month that the UK was exploring the proposal, including an option to merge the DSRB with the Multilateral Defence Mechanism (MDM), a separate UK-spearheaded international defence initiative. Talks broke down over merger, including disagreement about locations of proposed headquarters, acc to officials briefed on the matter. Via @GeorgeWParker & me ft.com/content/1f7924c1-ab63…

It’s come to something when a US Marine combat vet in the Senate has to explain the concept of national sovereignty to an armchair diplomat playing world leader on X. From a UK perspective, watching current US foreign policy fall apart while a private citizen runs around acting like he owns global geopolitics is pure madness. Elon running his own shadow diplomacy, romanticising enemy conscripts, and throttling combat comms on a whim isn't innovation—it’s corporate feudalism eroding allied security.
Russia can just stop. The war ends when they stop. If you give every aggressor nation first movers advantage and they get to keep territory for the sake of “conscripts” you will only incentivize more wars with “conscripts”.

When Musk says "offensive drone strikes," he implies Starlink is acting as the terminal guidance system (like a seeker head on a missile). But that's not how long-range or mid-range strikes work. Ukrainian strike teams use Starlink primarily for communications, weather data, battlefield coordination, and uploading mission coordinates before launch, or for receiving reconnaissance feeds. That is operational support, not a weapon trigger. Conflating satellite internet comms with "weaponizing civilian kit" is a deliberate rhetorical stretch to justify bandwidth caps. Commercial Starlink's Terms of Service state it isn't meant for military weapon systems. However, standard Starlink has been funded and deployed across Ukrainian frontline units with full knowledge of both SpaceX and the US Department of Defense since 2022. Calling it out now as a breach of TOS while Ukrainian units are actively defending territory feels like shifting the goalposts at a critical operational moment. SpaceX points to Starshield—their dedicated, Pentagon-managed military satellite network—as the proper channel for combat operations. But deploying Starshield requires formal US Department of Defense procurement contracts and specialized military hardware, which can't just be handed out overnight to every frontline tactical un
Replying to @elonmusk
For the fools out there, Zelensky himself posted about using Starlink for offensive drone strikes, which has always been against Starlink’s terms of service:

So according to @RITB_: Denying official OBR figures showing the health and disability benefit bill soaring past £60bn is "protecting welfare." Wanting elected MPs to sit in Parliament and do their jobs is "the 1933 Enabling Act." Schoolchildren singing the national anthem is "fascism." When your entire worldview relies on calling basic parliamentary democracy and fiscal sanity "Nazism," you've completely surrendered the argument.
xitter.cf/secretspartacus/status… It's been repeatedly welfare is not ballooning, to suggest billions of cuts in 1 year means very drastic cuts not protection. Reform are sounding like nazis, Farage saying if he got into power he would make MPs sit in parliament 24/7 to force through mass legislation and remove the Lords. Hitler dismantled democracy. The Enabling Act (1933) gave Hitler absolute power to pass laws without parliament for four years. They say they would force schoolchildren to sing the national anthem daily. At their conference they physically assaulted protestors whilst Farage laughed.

Jenrick’s actual speech: "Those in need, pensioners, and the vulnerable will always be protected... we'll make reforms carefully, protecting the severely disabled." Left-wing Twitter's interpretation: "Literally 1930s Nazi Germany." The absolute state of online political discourse when pointing out a £50bn spiralling welfare bill gets met with total bad-faith hysteria.
Jenrick on TV this morning saying the country can’t afford to carry disabled people because it’s broke and welfare will bankrupt us. This was exactly the Nazi narrative of the 1930s

Look at that editorial feed and tell me @GBNEWS hasn't completely surrendered to the Westminster machine. ​In the space of three headlines, their digital desk has transformed into a press release service for Labour fearmongering and a rehabilitation clinic for Tory retreads. They give Robert Jenrick a stage to gloat over an outlier poll, turn Wes Streeting's war hysteria into an uncritical public service announcement, and regurgitate Angela Rayner's spin without a single note of pushback. ​The channel marketed as the anti-establishment voice of the country is now being sub-edited by people who sound like they were hired straight out of CCHQ or a Labour comms unit. When the supposedly alternative media start doing stenography for the Uniparty, you know the gatekeeping is absolute.
