The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England has voted to cut rates to 5% in a hotly anticipated decision. The markets had it at 65% that rates would go down…
It was a 7-2 split last time to hold at 5.25%. Now it’s 5-4 to cut. Sitting since August last year, they’ll come down from their highest level since 2008 after 14 consecutive hikes. Starmer’s genie strikes again…
The Paris Olympics are shaping up to be the wokest spectacle the world has ever seen. It kicked off with an opening ceremony that some argue blasphemously parodied the Last Supper, featuring plus-size trans women and drag queens as Jesus and the disciples, all to push the LGBT+ agenda. Bizarrely, there was even a dancing semi-naked smurf. Imagine the outrage if the French decided to mock a different religion…
Now it’s come to light that two trans women—with XY chromosomes —have been cleared to fight in the female boxing category at the Olympics. Naturally, this has sparked outrage among their competitors. These two boxers were previously disqualified from the world championships for failing gender tests due to having too much testosterone in their bodies, making it unfair for them to compete against women. One female boxer, who faced one of these ‘cleared’ trans athletes in 2022, shared her harrowing experience:
“When I fought her, I felt completely overwhelmed. Her punches hurt like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my 13 years as a boxer, not even when sparring with men. Thank God I got out of the ring safely that day, and it’s a relief that they finally saw sense.”
It’s one thing for trans athletes to compete in sports like swimming or tennis—where the unfair advantage is clear but not life-threatening. Boxing, however, is a whole different ball game…
UPDATE:A female boxer has had to pull out 46 seconds into fight after suffering a broken nose by the opponent who has XY (male) chromosomes.
New RAJAR figures for the second quarter of the year make happy reading for GB News. Their upwards trajectory shows no sign of stopping…
GB News Radio, which is just a simulcast of GB News TV, has now overtaken Times Radio on weekly reach for the first time. GB’s year-on-year growth has reached a whopping 63% and is 14% higher than last quarter…
Last quarter GB News overtook LBC London and is continuing full steam ahead. TalkRadio, the last surviving linear branch of YouTube-ified TalkTV, sees its reach go down 9% from last quarter and 5% from last year. You either have momentum, or you don’t..
Nigel Farage has had his fare share of critics, and now he has another one to add to the roster: former counter-terrorism police chief Neil Basu. Basu accused Farage of inciting violence after he posted a video asking “whether the truth is being withheld from us” over the Southport stabbings suspect. As Nigel says, it’s “quite legitimate to ask questions” about the vile stabbings of young girls, three of whom are now dead…
Basu hit out at Farage last night: “Nigel Farage is giving the EDL [English Defence League] succour, undermining the police, creating conspiracy theories, and giving a false basis for the attacks on the police.” His criticisms have been framed by mainstream media as authoritative due to his background as a former counterterrorism officer. Though Guido reminds his readers that just a few months ago he came out and endorsed Keir Starmer at the launch of his ‘pledge cards’. No surprise the Labour luvvie has come out swinging against Nigel then…
Labour’s path on the EU is going as expected. The FT reports this morning that the EU Relations Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds’ meetings with bloc officials have so far managed to produce a list of “tough” demands for the UK to follow. Crawling back to the EU comes with a price tag…
The commission accuses the UK of failing to implement the Windsor Framework properly and demands a huge increase in checks and stoppages for veterinary items and flora crossing the Irish Sea. The UK is also commanded to prevent EU citizens’ being forced to make a separate settled status application after living in the UK for five years. Meanwhile the bloc is continuing with its 4-year-old legal case against the UK for the way it carried out the transition period. So much for that Starmer good will…
Labour is making obsequious noises on their EU ‘reset’, like claiming that it is open to sending the Elgin Marbles to Athens, but the bloc obviously wants more. A free movement deal for young people, access to territorial fishing waters, and rejoining the Erasmus scheme are on the top of the list. Summits and nice statements were never going to cut the mustard…
Anna Soubry took to Twitter to post her two cents on the Southport stabbings’ aftermath. She smugly lambasted Lee Anderson for “not being the sharpest article in the Reform toolbox” after retweeting a video of crowds running away from a stabbing incident in Southend last night. She was quick to jump to the conclusion that Lee had accidentally searched Southend instead of Southport. Sadly, this was a separate attack…
.@LeeAndersonMP_ is not the sharpest article in the #Reform toolbox – he did a Google search for #Southport & got Southend.
He and his motley crew are yet to condemn the attacks on our police and a place of worship in Southport last night.
I wonder why? https://t.co/QvbqY9pu83— Anna Soubry 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦🇪🇺🖤🤍 (@Anna_Soubry) July 31, 2024
Ironically, she then got the town wrong minutes later, referencing last night’s riots in “Stockport” rather than Southport. Something something glass houses…
I hope there will be a full police investigation in to last nights riots in #Stockport to include anyone who may have ‘aided,abetted counselled or or procured’ the use of violence or may have committed or incited any other offence. https://t.co/R0cV9Svd4X

Some poor judgement from a so-called barrister…
Batting away critical points from Nick Robinson on the Today Programme, Tony Blair said:
“I always used to say the greatest source of election-losing advice was the Guardian.”
