What a memory . Two fantastic illustrators a credit to their family and the school . They are currently working on book 4 . Clodagh is in 6th year now but I told her “We never leave a soldier behind , so she can work with Author Roisin for as long as she wants “. Same for Elle.

This should be front-page news across every media outlet, but we’re in 2026. In 2026, we have become immune to scandal and inured to disaster. A story that should shame our nation due to the sheer scale of corruption and incompetence barely makes a dent in the national narrative. Nigel Farage said something about immigration again — is all we get now. Truly important stories like this are being suppressed by the shift to TikTok and 𝕏 as news outlets. The algorithm makes the news, not the story.

Margaret Owen, 94, on her terrorism arrest: ‘I’m afraid I’m not the terrorist. But Israel is a terrorist state, and we are complicit in supporting a terrorist state.’ Britain arrested her twice. Its F-35 parts kept shipping. Labour arrests the witness and protects the weapons.

I need to understand why it is always the least well off that are targeted to bail out the UK. We have billionaires dodging taxes, MPs claiming outrageous expenses and covid fraud that reads like a triple Power Ball rollover. Why not target these disgraces.

Drop bombs on buildings full of children and the UK will call you an ally. Express support for activists who try to stop those bombs and the UK will call you a terrorist.
BREAKING: BLANKET ARRESTS BEGIN OUTSIDE US EMBASSY The Met Police began making arrests before any signs were on display, arresting volunteers like this woman for supporting people holding signs, and arresting people for having blank placards.

🚨 The full Covid PPE 'VIP lane' list is FINALLY out after a 5-year legal battle. £1 BILLION in taxpayer cash was completely WASTED on useless PPE. VIP lane firms were 10x more likely to win contracts. The unmasked referrers: Matt Hancock: 27 companies Dominic Raab: Referred a toy maker with 1 employee Michael Gove: Referred a donor who got a £164M contract Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York): Referred a dissolved pharma firm 4 New former Ministers Exposed: Raab, Buckland, Hart, and Robert Jenrick of ReformUk The well-connected got rich. The public paid the price and we are still paying it till today. Credit @PeterKGeoghegan

She's bloody terrifying, isn't she? So glad they saved us from her.

🚨 LONDON | THE GOVERNMENT IS ARRESTING ITS OWN PEOPLE FOR SITTING DOWN 🪧 Sky News live at the US Embassy today. Pensioners, grandmothers and ordinary people sitting on the ground with cardboard signs, surrounded by rows of police vans. One sign said it all: "HOW IS TRYING TO STOP A GENOCIDE A CRIME?" And the government's answer? Arrest them. Under the TERRORISM Act. Let's be clear about who's responsible. The politicians in Westminster. The officers on the ground are following orders for a wage. Starmer brought in this ban. Burnham's government has kept it. The courts were asked to rule on it and the government fought tooth and nail to keep it. Every single arrest today was signed off in Downing Street. This is a government that: 🔹 Finds £10 BILLION for war but not for you 🔹 Sells weapons while children in Gaza are buried under rubble 🔹 Then sends the police to drag pensioners off the pavement for holding up a sign They call it national security. It's national cowardice. They're afraid of grandmothers with cardboard, because those grandmothers are telling the truth about what Britain has been complicit in. A government that has to arrest peaceful old women to protect its foreign policy has already lost the argument. Shame on every MP who voted for this and every minister who keeps it in place 🤬

Wow. This is INSANE! But of course, the @BBC doesn't have any bias...

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism. 83 years later it's more relevant than ever.
