At 15:55, Land of Hope and Glory, sung by Dame Vera Lynn is at Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the Amazon music chart.

How badly the BBC has misjudged this country.
Tonight, a nation breaths a sigh of relief that Prince William is heir to the throne.
Supported by his wife Catherine (who epitomises duty and devotion), the British Monarchy (the most hallowed of all our institutions) will be safe in his hands.
John Bercow is due to stand down as Speaker of the House of Commons on Thursday.
He may be the first Speaker in 230 years not to receive automatically a seat in the House of Lords.
And rightly so.
The Remainer Enabler does not deserve a peerage.
Let him retire in disgrace.
The gutless Prime Minister has sacked the only member of his cabinet willing to speak the truth about whatโs happening on British streets.
It is a clear signal that this government has surrendered to the mob.
Voters will remember this at the ballot box.
Defacing a statue of Winston Churchill would be an outrageous act of vandalism at any time.
That such an act has reportedly been performed on the 76th Anniversary of D-Day is simply unacceptable.
Priti Patel fought for Brexit in 2016.
She fought for Brexit again in 2019, when May and the Civil Service were ready to fob us off with their "deal".
She has consistently been on the side of the people.
That's why the establishment fears her.
#StandWithPriti
MPs who submitted a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson because he was fined over Partygate and who are now backing Sunak for leader despite him also being fined should explain the double standard urgently.
If Sunakโs government sells out Brexit, it may well prove to be the last Conservative government this country ever has.
Betrayal would neither be forgiven nor forgotten by voters. The Tories would be finished as a political force in the UK.
Priti Patel is not only the best Home Secretary weโve had in years, but in a matter of months has smoked out those in the Home Office who would undermine the government.
The smears against her may continue, but she can be assured that the public are behind her and Boris.
If illegal migrants crossing the Channel know that they will be picked up by the Border Force and delivered to the UK, theyโll just keep on coming.
If they know theyโll be returned to France, the vast majority wonโt bother making the journey in the first place.
Itโs simple.
When all other arguments are stripped away, Brexit comes down to one, simple issue:
Sovereignty.
Brexiteers believe that the UK should be a free, sovereign, self-governing nation.
This is incompatible with EU membership.
The Left turns up at the Conservative Party Conference hurling profanities at attendees but still want you to believe theyโre grown up enough to run the country.
Spoiler: They arenโt.
Reminder: The Government claims it cannot afford to let you keep more of your hard-earned money, but it can commit ยฃ11.6bn to โinternational climate finance.โ
A disgrace.
The sight of Twitter leftists and media luvvies melting down at the realisation that their anti-Boris crusade has backfired spectacularly in the form of a proper conservative government really is quite something.
Why a General Election and not a Second Referendum?
Because Brexit is not the problem. Parliament is.
The electorate gave a clear instruction, which MPs have been unwilling to respect or implement.
It is time to elect a Parliament which will.
The NHS has spare capacity.
Moreover, new field hospitals have been built and pressed into action in short order.
We have not seen terrible images of hospitals being overwhelmed like those from Italy and Spain.
But all we see on TV is relentless negativity.
Sir Bill Cash has just concluded a barnstorming intervention in the Commons in support of the Internal Market Bill.
Heโs one of the true heroes of Brexit and continues to strive daily for the restoration of full sovereignty to the United Kingdom.
Bravo Bill!
That the Prime Minister, only days after leaving ICU and on the day he was discharged from hospital, took time out from his convalescence to don a suit, address the nation and thank the NHS staff who saved his life speaks to his sense of public duty.
Bravo Boris. Get well soon.
Mark Francois MP Delivers a Stark Warning to the EU Council...
"We will be a Trojan Horse in the EU which will utterly derail all your attempts to pursue a more Federal project"
Please ReTweet! - Thankyou!
โTheir purpose from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts. This is the very definition of a kangaroo court.โ
Boris is right. This is the establishment spitting in the face of those who dared to vote for Brexit and for him.
Varadkar says that the UK "has yet come to terms with the fact itโs now a small country."
Well, thank goodness this "small country" was ready and waiting with a bailout when the veritable juggernaut that is the Irish economy hit the rocks...
Horrified by the prospect of an independent, low-tax, dynamic UK meeting with long-term economic success, Remainiacs and their friends in the EU, IMF, etc. are trying to bounce the gov into returning to failed EU-style economic policy.
Truss and Kwarteng must stay the course.
John Bercow has no authority to negotiate on behalf of the United Kingdom. None whatsoever. Reports that he has been involved in discussions with Juncker over an extension are extremely serious.
The EU has been bullying Switzerland for months.
Theyโre trying the same with the UK.
How about an Anglo-Swiss political alliance to dominate European Banking and bypass and overtake the indebted German banks and dangerously overcommitted Italian insurance companies?

Parliament is to blame for the Benn Act.
Parliament is to blame for the Letwin Amendment.
Parliament is to blame for the now-inevitable Brexit delay.
The PM's promise to leave next week was not undeliverable, but Parliament deliberately undermined him at every turn.
Under Liz Truss, the Tories had a chance to show the public they were serious about low taxes and high growth.
Instead, Wet MPs bottled it and moved against her.
Now, we have high taxes, low growth and the Conservative Party is on track to lose the next election - badly.
Do not underestimate the seriousness of recent events.
A PM with an enormous mandate was forced from office.
His successorโs platform has been trashed by her own Chancellor, who is now PM in all but name.
Democracy has been trampled.
Itโs time to cut the crap.
The Government has always been clear that its Covid-19 strategy would evolve with the science.
Thatโs exactly what is happening.
The PM finds himself in an unenviable position and needs our support.
The time for cheap politicking is over.
By ousting Boris, the Tories insulted everyone who voted for them in 2019.
By ousting Truss, they insulted members specifically.
By suspending Lee Anderson, they turn their disdain towards those Red Wall voters who gave them a chance for the first time.
This is dire.
Still the attempts to oust Priti Patel continue.
Since 2016, the Civil Service has not been on the side of the people.
Priti Patel has and must remain in place to reform the dysfunctional Home Office.
We stand with her. The blob must not be allowed to oust another Minister.
How astonishing it is that the President of the EU Commission can threaten Italian voters ahead of national elections, and in the same breath talk of using EU funds to blackmail Poland, yet she and her rotten organisation are still held up as paragons of democratic vortue.
The Media doesnโt run this country.
The Civil Service doesnโt run this country.
Boris Johnson runs this country.
Why? Because we elected his Government only six months ago.
Brexiteers should be prepared for whatโs to come.
Clamour for a Transition Extension will soon reach fever pitch.
CV19, the Economy and Fear will be exploited in an attempt to force an Extension.
Boris will be painted as reckless for sticking to his mandate. Donโt fall for it.
If six Tory MPs really are ready to defect to Labour, then the candidate selection process is not fit for purpose and must be overhauled ahead of the next election to ensure that only proper conservatives make it onto the ballot paper.
In 2019, voters handed a thumping majority to Boris Johnson - but a little under four years later, theyโve got Sunak, Hunt and Cameron.
This is a monumental breach of public trust from which the Tories may never recover - particularly if challenged by a new centre-right party.
The BBC is reportedly considering dropping both โRule, Britanniaโ and โLand of Hope and Gloryโ from Last Night of the Proms in response to the BLM movement.
This is a disgrace.
Our culture and heritage are under threat like never before.
Blairโs knighthood is galling for many, but the bigger problem is that weโre still living with the legacy of his government.
Devolution.
Mass Immigration.
The constitutional aberration which is the Supreme Court.
Successive Tory admins have done little to roll back Blairism.
Borisโs decision to enshrine the end of the transition period in law puts the EU in a bit of a bind.
His majority is so large that they cannot conceivably call upon useful idiots in Westminster to extend.
They can either agree a deal, or thatโs it.
Itโs on!
Barnier sounded irritated (again) in todayโs press conference.
No wonder.
Frost and his team are negotiating in Britainโs interests - and doing a fantastic job of standing up to Brussels.
Lots of angry people on Twitter today.
Boris promised a points-based immigration system at the General Election.
We voted for it. Now it is being delivered.
In a world in which the electorate is often simply ignored, we realise that this is a shocking concept...
Seven years ago, the British people voted for constitutional restoration.
To be a nation state, not a member state.
To make our own laws, not submit to foreign laws.
For our own destiny.
Happy Brexit Day!

Enough is enough, I have submitted my vote of no confidence letter to the Chairman of the 1922. It is time for Rishi Sunak to go and replace him with a 'real' Conservative party leader.
The military delivered 7.5 million pieces of PPE in a single 24-hour period last week.
NHS Nightingale will open tomorrow.
Charter flights are set to return stranded Britons home.
The wartime-style Government response has, in a short timespan, been phenomenal.
Without Nigel Farage, it's unlikely Brexit would have happened. It really is as simple as that.
His place in history as a politician of consequence is assured and we wish him all the best for the future.
Electing a new leader is one thing, but we must recognise that an elected PM has been brought down by an orchestrated MSM smear campaign without voters or party members having a say.
This is unacceptable in a democracy.
Unless confronted, the next PM can expect a similar fate.
Tomorrow, two men who werenโt elected to their positions (by voters or Tory members) will impose a series of punitive financial measures no one voted for.
Thatโs the sorry state of British democracy in 2022 because MPs ousted two Prime Ministers.
Since some are too thick to comprehend this; Boris was tested because heโs the PM.
He is leading our country through a time of crisis.
He is coordinating and directing the national response.
The decisions he makes will save lives.
Of course he should have testing priority.
Yesterday, the BBC published an article which claimed โsome scientists say UK strategy is โrisking livesโ.โ
It was widely shared.
But by their own admission, โno leading experts in the science of the spread of diseasesโ signed.
What an utter disgrace.
Nearly 4,000 illegal migrants (as of 18th June) have arrived in the UK by boat since the beginning of 2019.
Arrivals have persisted even as the country has been in lockdown.
Australia solved a similar problem a decade ago by turning boats back. Letโs follow their example.
Three years ago, you, the British public, gave Boris Johnson a mandate to govern.
Instead of respecting that mandate, the political establishment hounded him out of No.10 and out of Parliament.
They donโt trust you to choose who runs the country. They view you with contempt.
Illegal Migrants are escorted into Dover by the boatload on a daily basis, but Citizens can't have 30 people at their Wedding Reception.
We have all made huge sacrifices in recent months. The uninterrupted flow of illegal migration makes a mockery of it all.
Worth noting that we had more freedom to travel abroad last summer, when no one was vaccinated, than we do now, with 50% of the adult population fully vaccinated.
This does not stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
The British response to Coronavirus is unique.
It may seem scary that weโre not following the herd, but the Governmentโs approach is backed by science and unparalleled expertise.
The Government is working to protect the most vulnerable in our society.
We will get through this.
Boris was propelled to victory with an 80 seat majority only 2.5 years ago.
Party members backed him overwhelmingly, then the electorate did too.
What has happened this week is not normal, but it does appear to have been orchestrated.
It is a dark moment for our country.
Since we voted to leave, the EU (with their own, federalist interests at heart) has been openly hostile towards the UK - even seeking to exploit Northern Ireland to punish our decision.
That Brussels now reportedly wants Starmer to be PM should set alarm bells ringing.
The BBC should be apologising for that Burberry story on the hour, every hour today.
Tens of thousands were mislead by shoddy reporting and a lack of due diligence.
It is an utter disgrace.
Barring a significant change in circumstance, the next General Election will tell the story of a party which ousted its most successful leader this century, revolted against the successor selected by members and threw away an 80-seat majority.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has emerged as an asset to the Government.
So too has Rishi Sunak.
Boris picked his Cabinet well. The top team is as important as the man leading it.
It should be deeply unsettling to anyone who values democracy that a Prime Minister who won the overwhelming backing of his partyโs membership *and* the overwhelming backing of the electorate should be forced out without either group being consulted.
Not to sound like a broken record, but the situation we now find ourselves in is unprecedented.
Foreign Leaders are deciding Britain's future.
We weren't defeated in war, or invaded. Our feckless so-called "representatives" GAVE them that power.
For shame.
When you left your parentsโ house to move into your own place did you allow your parents to continue to tell you what time you had to be home at night, or did you make your own decisions?
Now apply that same logic to our post-Brexit relationship with the EU.
Can the Brexiteer Lords KILL THE BILL? Brexiteer Lords are attempting to Filibuster the Bill that went through the Commons last night. Their objective is to prevent attempts to stop us Leaving the EU next Friday!
Please Retweet! Thank you!
Priti Patel: Elected to create policy.
Civil Service: Employed to implement Government policy, regardless of whether they voted for it.
Itโs that simple.
Opponents of Brexit will go after two individuals in the next few weeks: Cummings, and Boris himself.
They canโt use parliamentary shenanigans anymore, so expect a barrage of negativity and smears designed to undermine the Gov.
โHaving witnessed first-hand, as Boris Johnson and then Liz Truss were taken down, I decided that the British people had a right to know what was happening in their name.โ
Nadine Dorries resigns her seat with a broadside against Rishi Sunak.
The EU is rattled.
Why? Because the Government has set a deadline and is sticking to us.
They have no way of forcing us into an extension, or foisting a bad deal upon us.
We are negotiating from a position of strength and must continue to stand firm.
A group of MPs are traipsing to Brussels today to beg for another extension from their EU masters so that they can legislate for a
#LosersVote
.
They should be in Westminster, working to deliver Brexit - not in Brussels, working to thwart it.
Their behaviour is disgraceful.
We donโt need to hear Theresa Mayโs opinion about Brexit, or our post-transition relationship with the EU.
Her Government failed comprehensively to deliver on the instructions of the British people, which is why Boris Johnson is now Prime Minister.
Suella Braverman is a principled conservative, strong Brexiteer and in tune with the public mood on immigration, woke policing and a host of social issues.
That Truss would rather sink with the wets than have her in gov. speaks volumes about the state of the Conservative Party.
Remember how MPs blocked Brexit.
Remember how they tried to force a second referendum.
Remember how they refused to honour your vote.
And remember the man who did.
Boris has an 80 seat majority in the Commons.
He isnโt going anywhere.
No amount of sniping and anonymous briefings in the press will drive him from the office the voters put him in.
Sunakโs resignation toppled Boris needlessly.
He is responsible in no small part for the current chaos.
Even worse, some of his supporters acted as bad losers and sought to undermine Truss.
The party will not unite around him and he should not be Prime Minister.
The public is being asked to believe that the NHS is now under greater strain than at the peak of the pandemic.
Either someoneโs lying, or Covid was considerably less serious than we were lead to believe.
If illegal migrants know they will be picked up and brought to the UK by the Border Force should they be found in the channel, theyโll be emboldened to make the trip.
The solution is to adopt an Australian-style turnback policy, which would quickly become a strong deterrent.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki expresses his preference for โa Europe of homelands rather than a European superstate,โ adding that โPoles and Italians are fed up with the diktats of the European bureaucracy and want real democracy.โ
Is the woke tide beginning to turn?
It would appear that ITV has been taken aback by the scale of public anger at the recent decision to force our Alastair Stewart.
