West and Central Asia are incredible. There are Iranian nomads who look like they play amateur cricket in East Sussex.

Labour are going to get a very, very bad result at the next general election. Much worse than 2019 or 1983. The likes of Kinnock are simply getting in their excuses now. When it happens it’ll be the fault of…Jeremy Corbyn. They’ve already given up.

Can’t grab a knife mate, that wouldn’t be fair. Possibly the most British thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

Revolting, ghastly people. Georgia Gould was new labour royalty. Mandelson is a close, decades long, family friend. They all knew what kind of man he was.

The Greens just won 4 seats. Reform just won 4 seats. But the legacy media had already decided its agenda before we had those results - so guess which party gets the most attention…. We’ll be discussing that, and more, at 6pm on Novara Media

It’s almost amusing that media across much of the West has tried to claim that there are no actual Muslims in Iran, that it’s all a fugazi, and that actually they are secret zoroastrians.

I asked Peter Hitchens if Britain’s political establishment had done one thing well in forty years. One single thing!! Here was his answer.

All this was once the property of a single family. Now everyone gets to enjoy it. The National Trust is such an extraordinary treasure to this country. (The Vyne, in north Hampshire. It’s gorgeous!)

Very common. I’ve seen whole carriages where every single window is smashed. British transport police basically don’t exist anymore. If you want more people to use trains this stuff should anger you.

Carbon capture and storage is basically a psy op. It’s a ‘delaying technology’, as Professor Kevin Anderson puts it.

The account that posted this on Instagram said the police were called. They proceeded to give a police reference number and….not turn up. In large parts of the country the police simply no longer exist. It’s not just resources. It’s personnel.

The hottest summer on record. 2/3rds of England in drought. Wisley hasn’t seen rain for 2 months. 38 days above 30c. Wildfires. Roads shut. 2 trains derailed in 2 days. This isn’t a ‘new normal’. Climate change means this is as good *as it gets*.

Starmer lets the cat out of bag. He mentions Trident and then adds “and that depends on the United States”. It does. It’s not an independent deterrent. The missiles are leased from the Americans and can only be serviced…in America.

I spoke to protest organisers earlier in the week, and they were confident today would be Britain’s largest protest since 2003. Looks like they were right.

This Birmingham bin man, & father of 5, is now set to be £8,000 a year worse off because of Birmingham council. The national media wants you to think hard working, family men like this are the problem. People like him are the backbone of the country.

This is Waterlooville, in Hampshire. My wife’s friend took this video and was kind enough to let me share it. While politicians and the London media live in a parallel universe this is reality for much of UK. Economic malaise & high streets that look like a zombie film.

The facts, put plainly, sound utterly monstrous - and a genuine low for British politics. It’s over.

Good on these people for standing up to this. A reminder: the government is presently looking to make *cuts* to British transport police.

This is insane. Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says she took a £14,000 donation, primarily to throw a birthday party. She’s smiling while she divulges this information. I’m genuinely in awe that they don’t appear to see how bad this looks.

Israel is foreign aid, but for Conservatives. “We should put this country first, not other places…” “Like Israel? Because that’s all I’ve heard about for days….” 70% of Tory MPs were members of Conservative Friends of Israel before 2024. Be friends of your constituents!

Ed Miliband is surprisingly tall and has great, thick hair for his age. That might sound ridiculous - but for Trump this stuff counts! He might like him.

This Summer is hot. Very hot. But on average this is the least extreme weather you’ll experience for the rest of your life. Kevin Anderson is a voice you simply can’t ignore on this stuff.

“English people should be allowed to be proud of being English, in England” Mick Lynch talking unadulterated common sense to Irish media. If you think otherwise, fine, but be aware your political project is a complete non-starter.
