A bride leaving her recently bombed home to get married in London, November 1940. Her name was Ena Squire-Brown, a dancer famous for her “Dove Dance,” and that morning she was on her way to St. George’s Church in Forest Hill to marry a young Royal Air Force officer, J.C. Martin. London was in the middle of the Blitz, with German bombers attacking the city night after night, and her home had just been hit. Behind her, the windows are shattered, the roof has been torn open, and the front garden is buried under twisted metal and rubble. By the end of the Blitz, more than a million London homes had been damaged or destroyed. Hers was one of them, and still she walked out of it in her wedding dress, smiling, as if nothing in the world could spoil that day for her...

The face of Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband when they’re destroyed in the commons by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. She is on another level to these clowns. These unserious politicians are both out of their depth, as is the whole of this incompetent Labour government.

The students marching on October 7th to celebrate the pogrom that happened in Israel three years ago are not progressives. They are descendants of Oswald Mosley. They’re blackshirts. The Hitler Youth of today. They glory in the death of Jews. So call them what they really are.

Truly despicable. A disgrace to the once-majestic French nation. A firefighter set on fire by the very people France imported.

Sir Simon Schama on Ed Miliband: “Any foreign secretary who went out of his way to shake the hand of the foreign minister of the Republic of Iran, whose regime murdered 40,000 people, has not got the authority to sermonise about anything, ever again!” jewishnews.co.uk/miliband-ha…

🇮🇳 REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR. An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit. Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back. Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary: They stormed the cockpit. They restrained the attacker. Other pilots took control. And that plane LANDED. Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong. Captain Smit Machchhar — India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. 🇮🇳 And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it: Heroes. Every single one of you. This is what courage looks like.

Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences. Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible. Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person. Yes. One Indian man.

Oh @IrelandFootball, high praise indeed from the murderous monsters of Tehran. You must be sooooo proud.
We would like to extend our highest respects to the Irish national football team, the men of honor.

While the Netherlands bans goods from Israel, they remain stunningly silent about the Christian Nigerians being murdered daily! #CHRISTIANOPHOBIC
At least one Christian killed every 86 minutes in Nigeria.

Pity he's an old white male The BBC's unwritten agenda won't allow that
Andrew Neil was outstanding. The BBC should fire the useless Biased Fiona Bruce & employ Andrew Neil as the new Host. His knowledge on all Politics is incredible & he would not stand for all the Bullshit that all the Guest’s talk. @afneil 👏👏

🚨WES STREETING HUMILIATED AS TERROR SQUAD EVACUATES HOMES NEAR RAF FAIRFORD OVER IRAN LINK In July Defence Secretary Wes Streeting smirked on breakfast television and dismissed Iranian threats against RAF Fairford as mere sabre rattling. Today five suspects near RAF Fairford were arrested for preparing a terrorist act under the Explosives Act! The bomb squad has swarmed the area, 85 British households have been evacuated from their homes, and counter terror police are actively investigating a direct Iranian connection. While Wes Streeting was busy playing the tough guy on morning television and plotting the surrender of the Chagos Islands, hostile foreign threats were creeping right up to our key military bases. How is that harmless sabre rattling working out for you now, Wes? Labour ministers are dangerously out of their depth, treating national defence like a PR game while ordinary British citizens face bomb evacuations on their own doorsteps. Retweet this immediately to expose Wes Streeting and hold this incompetent government to account. 🇬🇧🔥

Days ago Ed Miliband shook hands with Araghchi, even as the IRGC tried to attack Britain more than 20 times last year alone. Today jihadists with bombs were stopped at RAF Fairford, where the US bombers hitting the Iranian regime are based. This is Iran declaring war. Wake up.

Let's be clear- It wasn't our security services that thwarted the terrorist bombing of RAF Fairford, they knew fuck all about it. A local farmer, on her way home from a party, saw the vans and called the police. Mass murder was averted through blind luck. We are not safe under this Labour government.

ANDREW NEIL: There were good arguments in 2016 for staying in the EU. The Remain campaign made a mess of articulating them. There are no good reasons in 2026 for rejoining the EU. dailymail.com/debate/article… via @DailyMail
