Thread. The trolls do love to call comment I make a 'Hatchet Job' so I will lift that out of their hands and very proudly call this MY Hatchet Job.

The Tribune article has landed.

"What?"

The Tribune! You know, Sheffield's source of "fascinating stories" and "one that doesn’t chase cheap clicks".

"Never heard of it sorry."

It has 2700 paid subscribers! £8.95 a month to hear about one man's fight to get a bollard installed in Upperthorpe! Why aren't you already signed up?

"What's an Upperthorpe? Are you having a stroke? Why is a man fighting bollards?"

No he's not fighting bollards. Oh never mind. Anyway they've written a story about the Jew hunt from last weekend where we chased some elderly anti-Semites off the streets. They are not chasing clicks or anything but they really think you should read it. Begging you to almost. Almost like they are using my tweets to draw in ... well clicks and likes.

"Fuck that. It's £8.95. Tell me what it says."Image

Well. First of all as any professional journalist would Vicky Munro centres herself in a story which is about something else. I think I kicked her in the ego so she has a little cry. Image
Vicky has a further little sob about me getting in the proper press. But she's better than the other press because she "upset" me. I literally wasted hours Victoria wondering why your fringe is trying to leave your head in opposite directions. Oh no, sorry, yes of course, I mean crying into my dumbbells.Image

So I just finished Tucker’s interview with Amb. Huckabee.

I’ve got to say, the Ambassador did a really great job navigating his wild accusations and constant bouncing from one subject to another.

Here are some of Tucker's most blatant lies and unhinged moments. Buckle up🧵 Image
1. When he called for every single Israeli to undergo DNA testing:

2. When he gave the green light for Hamas to use child soldiers:

🚨 EXCLUSIVE #2 — Tucker lied. Again.

He said that this week, "Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel releas[ed] a video calling me an anti-Semite and an enemy of Israel."

In reality, she said NOTHING about him, only calling his CLAIMS "reckless and misleading," and "completely detached from reality" in regards to his characterization of how Israel treats Christians.

So not only did she not call Tucker an "anti-Semite," let alone "an enemy of Israel," she was... right.

Tucker claimed that Israel had "bombed" the Anglican-run Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza — a claim that is, in fact, "completely detached from reality."

There was only one direct hit by Israel of the hospital, specifically a targeted strike in April 2025 of a Hamas center in one of the buildings.

No one was injured, let alone killed, because the IDF gave advance evacuation notice.

As for the rest of the "eight"?

Well, one was an aid airdrop that damaged solar panels on a building's rooftop.

And the only actual bombing that hit the hospital was an infamous misfired rocket from Palestinian Islamic Jihad on October 17, 2023, killing upwards of 200.

Full details re the supposed "bombings" are below.

But suffice it to say that calling his claims merely "reckless and misleading" would be far too generous.

Here is Tucker claiming he felt deeply unsafe driving from Ben-Gurion Airport to Jerusalem, as well as flat-out fabricating the claim that Bibi Netanyahu had "suggested" he was a "Nazi":
And here is the full video statement from @SharrenHaskel regarding Tucker's CLAIMS about Israel’s supposed treatment of Christians. She only mentions him in the first 10 seconds.

🚨BREAKING: NHS-backed puberty blocker trial PAUSED as regulator raises safety concerns. The Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has requested the King’s College trial team amend study protocol, to better reflect risks to children 🧵

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Every week they add a new letter.

LGBTIQA+. Yesterday morning, they added an “I” today.

Why not include more groups that have experienced or are experiencing discrimination by someone?
1)
Add a “J” for Jews, as antisemitism has been growing on the streets and in institutions.

Add a “C” for Catholics, as Catholic churches have been attacked and Catholic values ridiculed.

Add an “M” for all the negativity toward men.
2)
Add an “E” for all the Evangelicals who are ridiculed by the New York–based media.

And add an “H” for all those who have some Spanish ancestry and who seem to have been relegated to a helpless minority by the elites of New York and Los Angeles.

Anthropic published a blog post one hour ago.

Cybersecurity stocks have lost $10B since.

CrowdStrike -6.5%. Cloudflare -6%. Okta -5.7%.

One blog post. One hour. $10B gone.
The blog post:

'Claude Code Security' announced, AI that finds security vulnerabilities.

It found some security vulnerabilities humans missed for decades.

Not a product launch. Just a research preview.

$10B wiped out in one hour.
Third time in three weeks.

- Feb 3: SaaS stocks lose $300B.
- Feb 6: Financial data stocks crater.
- Feb 20: Cybersecurity stocks -$10B.

A new industry gets repriced every two weeks.

The world demographics 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 are slowly collapsing📉

All continents are concerned, even Africa, with the first countries now bellow 2 children per woman.

Which states are affected more by the birth rate crisis?

🧵THREAD🧵1/17 ⬇️ Image
For the first time, we now have at least 3 african countries under the replacement level.

In Morocco, there are 1.97 children per woman, in South Africa 1.7 children per woman and in Tunisia 1.45 children per woman, less than in France or the USA. Others are slowly following. Image
For example, Egypt, the 3rd most populated state of Africa is set to be under 2 children per woman before 2030.

Others are following, while most are still above 3 today, most were above 6 10 to 15 years ago !

This is bigger than I even realized: Pam Bondi worked for Ballard Partners. Do you know who else works for them? Robert Wexler, the former Congressman that hired Imran Awan, who facilitated the massive Congressional IT scandal ~2017: Image
If you need a refresher on that scandal, this is a good overview:


There was a massive coverup and the Daily Caller was forced to take down many of their stories on it, but you'll find that the archives link together. web.archive.org/web/2020121001…Image

1/ A huge cache of messages from the phone of Russian Major General Roman Demurchiev provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Russian army. It reveals a force riven by feuds between generals, plagued by corruption, and full of contempt for superiors and peers. ⬇️ Image
2/ Ukrainian sources have provided Radio Liberty with gigabytes of text and voice messages to and from Demurchiev, most likely as the result of a hack of his mobile phone or instant messenger account. They implicate him directly in numerous war crimes.
3/ The messages, from 2022–2024, show Demurchiev engaging with other generals in extended dialogues, notably with Major General Ivan Popov, who commanded the 58th Combined Arms Army until July 2023. He and the other generals are scathing about the war and their colleagues.
