Rishi Sunak is right to have a plan to navigate us to safety as we teeter on edge of conflict – it’s urgnetly needed
Rishi safety plan
IT is a sobering thought when the Prime Minister warns the next five years are likely to be some of the most dangerous the country has ever known.
And yet who would doubt him considering the security threat posed by Russia, Iran and, increasingly, China — whose latest act in the undeclared cyber warfare it wages against us looks to have been the hacking of sensitive details on Ministry of Defence staff?
Then there is the threat from sectarian voices here in the UK, sowing division and hatred.
British values and British security have rarely been under such threat and the case for increased defence spending and beefed up national security could hardly be greater.
So it is pertinent to ask who you would feel most comfortable leading us in the near future, marshalling our defences and rallying the public to move forward with confidence and pride.
The Tories will seek to focus minds on the past record of Sir Keir Starmer who, let’s not forget, campaigned to put Jeremy Corbyn in 10 Downing Street.
He has yet to commit to raise defence spending and would allow 100,000 illegal immigrants to stay in Britain, while abolishing the Rwanda deterrent plan.
Rishi Sunak will insist today that, by contrast, he has a plan to navigate us to safety as we teeter on the edge of conflict.
We look forward to hearing it.
It’s urgently needed.
Truth on Hamas
AS naive students were occupying university campuses and other useful idiots were trying to disrupt Eurovision in their misguided pro-Palestinian protests, the evil Hamas terrorists they glorify were preparing their latest sick act.
First they broadcast a video of clearly brutalised British-born hostage Nadav Popplewell, tormenting his loved ones as they teased them over his fate.
Three hours later they announced his death, superimposing cartoon blood over his face as they gloated about his demise.
Their inhumanity is sickening, toying with the lives of the hostages and weaponising the pain of their families for propaganda, in violation of all international law.
Meanwhile, the virtue-signalling numpties attacking Eurovision protested outside BBC buildings, accusing the corporation of glossing over Israel’s actions in Gaza by broadcasting the song contest.
What a waste of time.
The Beeb is too busy glossing over the fact that Hamas are terrorists.
As Lord Cameron rightly says, the latest atrocity should be a wake-up call to the BBC.
It’s high time they correctly labelled Hamas — who use both hostages and their own people as human shields — as the bloodthirsty monsters they are.
