If you are offended by the Ulster Banner,then don't represent Northern Ireland.........

How many time have we been told that once a boat of illegal migrants leaves the French shore they cannot be returned. Well today 1 boat tried to cross in this freezing weather and was returned to France as they couldn't make it. Why all the persistent lies from some politicians.

UK Gov. are all over the place, no consistency. Happy to defend Greenland's democratic right to self determination but then up for handing away Chagos Island without the people there getting a say. Yesterday UK Gov told USA to butt out, and then today help US sieze an oiltanker.

In the world now USA's might is right and European soft powers will diminish. There will be little pushback from Europe on Greenland. US over time will move to buy off Greenlanders individually and see them end up under US control in some shape of form. EU & UN will do frig all.

Reform can not be seen to become a retirement home for old Tories and ex MPs. New blood, new talent and new energy will encourage the public to vote for them, not the same old, same old.

Whatever he's paid, it isn't enough

Giving the NI committee food for thought. Not much to disagree with...

On radio Ulster Naomi Long MLA talks down the use of the Ulster flag representing Northern Ireland 'It takes the gloss of everything good' In relation to choice of flag, says 'Let someone else have a go they'd do a better job of it' Does that include her own job as Justice minister?

Scotlands national team have announced that they will wear suits instead of kilts at the upcoming World Cup. How disappointing is that. America has a huge diaspora of Scots and Ulster Scots who would love to see the team proudly wearing beautiful kilts on parade. Rethink needed.

Sinn Fein Mickey Brady died this week. As a Newry man he always made a point of watching the Orange & Black parades and the band parades go through the city. Whether he enjoyed the parades or music I don't know, but if he was hoping the numbers were dwindling he was disappointed.

Bored of peace already. Donald Trump has already wrote to Mark Carney telling Canadian PM He's not wanted on his new Board of Peace. Are there further withdrawal letters on the way for Starmer, Macron & co.?

All Labour & PM have done since getting into power is go against the wishes of the great British public and done a U turn each time. Labour must be punished for this at any by-election. If The Sec of State Hilary Benn thinks a U turn on his legacy Bill is impossible he's wrong.

Angela Rayner plotting against Starmer and front bench. She can blame others for her own demise but it was her own fault. Just shows what a snake she is... or a dead duck.. you choose! By association she could bring down Andy Burnham, the Labour Party's most popular politician.

Some basics about Chagos for BBC reporters, Sky anchors and others coming new to the debate. 1. The Chagos Islands lie half-way between Africa and Indonesia, and host a key Anglo-American military base on the main island, Diego Garcia 2. France ceded the archipelago to Britain

So the latest from The Telegraph reveals Starmer and co did go after Iraq Soldiers, investigating false and fake war crimes... as I said, they will hunt down Afghanistan veterans too just like theyve done with Northern Ireland veterans. Horrible People.

‘Hang his head in shame and resign!’ Patrick Christys slams Keir Starmer as veterans are calling the Prime Minister a ‘traitor and national disgrace’ for providing free legal services on cases pursuing soldiers’ alleged Iraq war crimes.

Just in case you missed it, a report last week from UAE is no longer subsidising their brightest students in coming to UK universities in fear they will be radicalised here on British soil and return home as members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is proscribed in their country.

"Absolutely furious! Labour backed the #WASPI women for years, promising justice for the pension injustice. Now in power, they've ditched them completely – no compensation at all. My own mum, who suffered through this, gets nothing. What a betrayal. Shame on The Labour Party 🤬

Starmer made sure he was away when the Sec. of State for DWP chose to announce Waspi women wont get compensation package on their pensions. Many Labour MPs have already expressed concern and when Labour MPs return to their constituencies and face the uproar, will we see a U turn?
