  Prince Harry's remarks should remind the Palace how IMPERATIVE it is that Prince William's family never travel anywhere all together, as they did by helicopter in the past. What a King Harry & Queen Meghan could do to the monarchy & nation doesn't bear contemplation #PrinceHarry

  For Channel 4 to entitle its film 'Churchill's Secret Apartheid' is a disgrace. He chaired the War Cabinet meeting of 13 October 1942 that concluded about the US Army, 'They must not expect our authorities, civil or military, to assist them in enforcing a policy of segregation.

  I'm very proud to have chaired the Israel All-Party Parliamentary Group report on 7 October, which can be downloaded here: 7octparliamentarycommission.co.uk It is not easy reading, as we chronicle the circumstances of the deaths of all 1,182 victims. In Memoriam #Israel #7October

  If Churchill had only cared about the Empire, he would not have fought against Hitler, who offered to guarantee it. Polish independence, European security, human dignity, the Nazis' threat to civilization, were why Churchill wanted to fight the Nazis, not colonialism #Churchill

  The tone-perfect broadcast by The Queen last night reminds us yet again that there is an indisputable argument for having a Head of State who is separate from and above day-to-day politics, and who has solely the interest of her country at heart. #coronavirus #themonarchy

  In January 1940, Churchill said of the Finnish resistance to Stalin: ‘Finland-superb, nay, sublime. In the jaws of peril, Finland shows what free men can do. The service rendered by Finland to mankind is magnificent.’ Today he would apply those same words to Ukraine #Zelensky

  It didn't take long before Bridget Phillipson's disgraceful decision to dump the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act resulted in a gross infringement of freedom of speech at Cambridge. As President of CUCA, I guarantee that the meeting WILL go ahead

  Sad to see a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society advocating the pulping of history books but that's the inevitable end towards which such radical wokery is taking us. You could also burn them, but that might invite historical parallels from which even Dr Pinarbasi might shrink

  The antifa thugs have, ironically enough, defaced the statue of the greatest anti-Fascist of them all, who fought - literally so - for equal rights before the law for all colours and creeds. The defacing of Lincoln's statue proves their utter historical illiteracy too #Churchill
  
  I will always tell the truth (as I see it). I will always listen to opposing points of view and read widely. I will always be polite. But I will not be silent while people attack the foundations of our splendid ancient heritage and its great heroes. This is a disgrace.

  I'm proud to be part of History Reclaimed - historyreclaimed.co.uk which opposes woke campaigns 'to rewrite the history of western democracies in a way that undermines their solidarity as communities, their sense of achievement, even their very legitimacy' #History

  A strong PM wouldd prorogue Parliament till 30 March as soon as it became clear that Parliment was about to flout the will of the people. She would be well within her constitutional rights, and protecting democracy

  This is the kind of thing we're up against, and why people should read the Report - 7octparliamentarycommission.co.uk - and decide for themselves if it's 'Zionist propaganda', or detailed, fully footnoted and irrefutable proof of the atrocities from multifarious impeccable sources #Israel
