Can someone please tell Donald Trump that the only people in the British Indian Ocean Territory are the U.S. base at Diego Garcia?
He’s taxing an American military base.

- Loving Katie’s shocked discovery that the Edgware Road has Lebanese shops. The area was built by Huguenot immigrants, had the UK’s first Indian restaurant in 1810, and has had the UK’s largest Arab community since the 1800s. It’s almost as if Katie doesn’t understand our country.
- This is Robert Peel, founder of British policing. Because of him, our police aren’t armed - he is why UK police killed just 3 people last year, while US police killed 1,536. So writing All Cops Are Bastards on him may undermine your case. As may the murderous hammer and sickle...
- Good god, this is blood libel from the BBC. The IDF said it entered the hospital *with* its own medical teams and Arabic speakers, so it can help people. BBC reports the IDF is *targeting* medical teams and Arabic speakers. That’s not a coincidence.
- Just stopped a guy yelling abuse at two women wearing hijabs on the tube at Camden Town. The guy squared up to me and started spitting in my face that he’d “fuck me up”. I eventually talked him into sitting down. It got a bit hairy, but glad I didn’t just sit in silence.
- Sickened by the anti-Semitic graffiti on walls all over Hampstead and Belsize Park this morning. All decent people across Britain stand with our Jewish community - and we must move heaven and earth to eradicate this racist hatred, which was unimaginable just a few years ago.
- “A protest outside a venue” It’s not a protest - it’s a mob intimidating Jewish people. And it’s not just a venue - it’s London’s Jewish community centre JW3. Stop covering up antisemitic hate.We are dealing with a protest outside a venue in Finchley Road NW3. Officers were quickly on scene and remain there. Conditions under section 14 of the Public Order Act have been imposed on those protesting. One person has been arrested for criminal damage.
- Bless. New York thinks being able to tap in and out of the Subway is “the future”. In London, we call it “2003”.We live in the future
- Morrisons come out publicly against Labour’s Family Farms Tax. They realise it will decimate Britain’s domestic food supply - why doesn’t Keir Starmer?A message to British Farmers from Morrisons - we’re with you and support you 💪
00:00 - Man who quits job stops being paid for it.Prince Harry revealed that the royal family cut him off financially after he and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, announced that they would be stepping back from official royal duties. cnn.it/38lhtwL
- The incredible cost of Starmer’s deal with Mauritius has been revealed: “£800 million a year for as long as we wanted to keep the base there, plus billions in reparations.” I bet taxpayers, pensioners, businesses, and farmers are glad to hear that. thetimes.com/article/0a0b0c…
- Yesterday, Lloyds Banking Group’s CEO had breakfast sat between Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. Today, Lloyds announce they’re shutting 136 branches. Growth plan going well then.
- Sadiq Khan promised he’d have 0 days of tube strikes. He called Boris Johnson’s record of 35 strikes while Mayor a “disgrace”. Khan’s now had 140 strikes himself.
- John McDonnell on Venezuela: “Here you have the contrast between capitalism... and socialism.” Watch until the end to see what happens under socialism... 👀
