If a woman said "I am going to rural Afghanistan by myself" everyone would agree thats a bad idea But if a woman says "I want five million Afghan men to come live in my town" everyone says thats a great idea

Once again I cannot remember voting for this

Can Britain still afford the NHS? With me in the studio to discuss this are the chief executive of BUPA, a spokesperson for Palantir and the boss of a hedge fund raking in huge sums of money from hospital PFI contracts.

An illegal migrant at an asylum Royal Beach hotel in Portsmouth threatens a man with a broken bottle. A broken bottle in hand and Luxury Hotel on the taxpayers dime. START DEPORTING!

A serial sex offender "prowled" the streets of Liverpool city centre in his Mercedes searching for vulnerable teenagers on night outs before raping and assaulting three victims. Amponsah Thompson posed as a taxi driver in order to lure one of the women into his car before attacking her in the back seat. The "sexual predator" then preyed upon another lone teen, who he found slumped on the ground, before taking her back to his home and raping her as she drifted in an out of consciousness. He also repeatedly raped a third victim and even threatened her with a knife, leading to him being labelled "manipulative" and having "no regard for boundaries and consent". While Amponsah has no previous convictions, he was previously investigated in relation to an incident in January 2024 when he was alleged to have sexually assaulted a lap dancer. However, this ultimately did not result in any charges after the woman withdrew her complaint. He was jailed for 23 years and handed an additional eight years on licence.

A hijab used to hide the abuse of 10-year-old Sara Sharif at the hands of her father. Women forced into cousin marriages while the NHS praised its ‘benefits’. Children groomed by gangs while police and social workers looked the other way. In each of these cases public services turned a blind eye to the harm of women and girls because they were scared of being called Islamophobic. Labour’s Islamophobia definition will make this worse. If we put one group on a pedestal and make it harder for public services to do their jobs, then we will only foster more inequality and resentment.

How did the Rudakubana family get into the country and on what visa? What was the father doing during the time of the Rwanda genocide and aftermath? Why have they not been deported yet? What lawyers and public officials are associated with their arrival in Britain?

What a vile trio… even after two of the scumbags had raped the poor girl and after learning she was a missing child, they transported her to the third offenders house to be raped. As always, sentencing isn’t long enough.

@trentconsultant Wes Streeting has become fixated on “defeating” resident Drs. He wants to “win” even if it impacts patients on huge waiting lists and costs more taxpayer money. Wes wants to “win” bcos he thinks it will help him become PM. Wes’s ambition outweighs his leadership of the NHS.

There is a video circulating on the internet that is difficult to watch. A woman sits on a pavement in Louisville, Kentucky. She is wearing a hospital gown. It is 36 degrees outside. Her belongings, everything she apparently owns, are in a plastic bag on the concrete beside her. Behind her, through the glass doors she has just been escorted through, the hospital hums along as normal. The security guards who brought her here have already gone back inside. She couldn’t afford her bill. This is not a scene from a developing nation or a history book. This is the United States of America. The country in which it happens has spent decades telling the rest of the world that it has the highest GDP on earth. Which is a bit like a restaurant proudly displaying its bill on the wall. Enormous number. Terrible meal. The lobster was frozen, the wine came from a box. Europe, by comparison, has spent the better part of a century building something rather different. The food, for a start, is extraordinary. Not in a showy way, but in the way that a simple lunch in Lyon or a glass of wine on a terrace in Lisbon reminds you that eating is one of the genuinely good things about being alive. The wine is the wine that the rest of the world has spent generations attempting to replicate, mostly without success. Roughly 35 percent of Europeans live with a chronic illness. In America, that number is 76 percent. The difference is not genetic. It is architectural. It is the slow accumulation of decent food, walkable cities, actual holidays, and a healthcare system that does not require you to crowdfund your own appendix. Europeans work fewer hours. They have more purchasing power on a smaller salary once you subtract the cost of health insurance, medical debt, and the private school their child needs because the local public one has a metal detector at the entrance. They live, on average, about ten years longer. Not ten years of decline and doctor visits, but ten years of being a person in the world. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of Americans leaving the United States doubled compared to the previous quarter.  Europe was their top destination. Not for a sabbatical or a gap year. Permanently. These are not people who failed. These are people who did the maths. There is a man somewhere in America right now who has worked fifty-hour weeks for forty years, taken one week off when his employer permitted it, and will, statistically, be dead before he sees seventy. And there is another man, not very far away on a map but an entire civilisation removed in practice, sitting on a terrace in the afternoon sun with a glass of something cold and no particular place to be. He has had six weeks off every summer since 1987. He knows his neighbours by name. The first man’s country has the higher GDP. The first man’s country tops the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index. The second man tops the Quality of Life Index (QLI). The better health. The longer life. The afternoon. MAGA America calls that losing. Ask anyone. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Farage's 2011 tweet thanking Orban for undermining the EU hasn't aged well. It reminds us that Farage has been allied with Orban in Russia's hybrid war network for around 20 years, and that Brexit only took place because of Russian and American far-right interference in which Farage was a key actor. Let's follow the Hungarian example and get off our sofas and into the polling booths in the local elections to derail Farage's Muscovite fascist bandwagon.

Don’t ask where the money will come from. Ask where the money is going. #SOSNHS

How did the UK and taxpayers benefit as a result of these trips? I’d expect to see a return on that investment but we all know there is none.

🚨Taxpayers Are Funding MPs’ Food and Alcohol UK taxpayers are subsidising MPs’ food and alcohol in Parliament, while they already enjoy high salaries and generous allowances. Why should our elected elites get this special treatment at our expense? Time to scrap these taxpayer-funded perks. Make MPs pay their own way.

All 168 Iranian schoolgirls would be alive, the Strait of Hormuz would be open, and gas would be $2.85 a gallon if Trump had gone to prison for his crimes.

Historically speaking, having large swathes of the population who can’t speak the primary language of the country is actually a sign of a very weak and unstable nation. This is almost universally true

I beg to differ. Restore has achieved in weeks what took Reform months, if not years. Just imagine where Restore will be, by the next general election. See, the difference between Lowe and Farage is this. If you imagine Britain as a ship, Farage is like the flag, proudly displaying the colours but flying in whichever direction the wind is blowing. Whereas Lowe on the other hand, is the compass. He is unaffected by the weather but essential for giving the ship direction.

This is the UK’s broken asylum scam in one screenshot. Thabani Maposa asylum seeker, housed free in a Bournemouth hotel gets a 14-year-old girl drunk and high on coke & weed at a Dorset caravan park, gropes her, gets convicted… then just ghosts court. Now he’s on the run. Your kids are the collateral for Starmer’s open borders virtue signal. Arrest warrant issued. Where’s the manhunt?

First thing he did at the time was call everyone "far-right". Absolutely shameless.
