Keir Starmer won’t do what is necessary to stop the boats. Over 1,000 illegal immigrants have arrived since Saturday alone. This is a national emergency. Only Reform UK would leave the ECHR, and pick up illegal immigrants out of boats to return them to France.

Double standards: It’s OK (apparently) for Hezbollah to fire missiles into Israel, killing civilians. But an outrage for Israel to respond with explosive pagers. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Russian sources say that the long-range Ukrainian drone attack on the Toropets arsenal where tens of thousands of tons of missiles, bombs and artillery shells were stored was the most significant and devastating Ukrainian attack on Russian weapons stockpiles of the whole war. 1/5

Peter Hitchens on GBNews targets the death of children from exploding pagers. But surely Israel is OK to assume that most pagers ordered by Hezbollah will be used by terrorists?

'Targeted killings of belligerents in this kind of manner seems far better than bombing in mass captivity.' Former Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle wades in on the Lebanon attacks. He says he welcomes more targeted incidents that avoid civilians.

Allister Heath (DT): “In a rational world, David Lammy would be privately congratulating his Israeli counterparts on the most successful surgical operation ever conducted against a terrorist organisation, with relatively few civilian casualties”.

Never mind the semantics, Peter. The point stands. War implies killing. The pager attack seems to have been a lot more targeted than Hezbollah’s random missiles fired at Israel.

These are 5000 pagers ordered by a TERRORIST ORGANISATION. A vastly more targeted attack than Hezbollah’s random rockets into Israel.

Daft. Net Zero will be the biggest energy shock of all. How will they protect us from that?

A "crisis" you can't see or measure. Also known as a delusion.

It’s all over. But who will be held responsible for the destruction of Europe’s car industry? #CostofNetZero

“There is very little help with species dysphoria”. That’s because there’s very little species dysphoria. In plain, demotic English, it’s called “Taking the p!ss”. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/1…

Huge queue for the Reform UK conference this morning!

In war, Michael, you cannot eliminate collateral damage. You can only work to minimise it — something the Israelis are remarkably good at.

Can you spot the climate crisis on this graph published by the WaPost yesterday? 🔎🤔 Earth is at its coolest point in the last 485-million years, but alarmists are still complaining that it's too hot.
