Truss: 10y gilt yield started ~3.1% on 6 Sep 2022, spiked to ~4.5% peak post mini-budget. Burnham: started ~5.1% on 20 Jul 2026, now ~5.12-5.2%. Absolute cost higher under Burnham; Truss saw sharper policy-driven jump.

🇬🇧Britain gave America🇺🇸 the most valuable cargo ever to cross the Atlantic. In a suitcase. U-boats were strangling Britain. Hundreds of ships sunk. We couldn't find them. Then two men in Birmingham solved it. John Randall. A gardener's son from Lancashire. Harry Boot. A PhD student. Twenty-two years old. They built it from scraps. A copper block. A bell jar. The biggest horseshoe magnet they could find. The “CAVITY MAGNETRON”. Made radar small enough to fit in a plane. Britain sent it to America. No payment. No strings. The war turned. Randall and Boot were paid fifty pounds each. "For improving the safety of life at sea." A gardener's son. A student. A copper block and a horseshoe magnet. That's all it took to change the world. Two ordinary Brits. Working together. Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

A photo of 5-year-old Osama al-Rakab has gone viral, used to falsely depict Israel as responsible for his condition, claiming Israel is starving children. #TheFacts: Osama suffers from a serious genetic illness unrelated to the war. On June 12, we actively coordinated Osama's exit from Gaza with his mother and brother through the Ramon airport. He is now receiving treatment in Italy. Tragic images rightfully stir strong emotions, but when they’re misused to fuel hatred and lies, they do more harm than good. Don’t let compassion be exploited for propaganda. Check the facts before parroting blame.
