@MarioNawfal The Druze need protection just like the Yazidi did- remember what happened to them!

While Israel bombs Iran and Lebanon, they've also just bombed the Syrian military last night Not because they pose a threat to Israel, but because of their 'attacks on the Druze' This is getting out of hand...

@Artemisfornow & removal of jury trials closes the loop of govt control loop

Ah… remember we were told the new anti-Muslim hostility guidelines would not stifle free speech? I don’t think that’s true. Political speech and criticism of religion are among our most protected freedoms under UK law. Those legal protections still apply. BUT if even a Shadow Cabinet Minister can have serious official complaints raised against him for a tweet criticising a public event, imagine what happens to the average citizen at work, in private WhatsApp groups, or even in the pub. In my opinion this guidance will be used as a blasphemy law in all but name, and influential groups & institutions will use it exactly that way, to shut down criticism or comments about Islam, they don’t like. As anonymity on social media platforms is about to be scrapped, people will be terrified to voice real concerns and they will not have the protections of an MP. Be very worried.

Labour MPs when it comes to: Nick Timothy. Batley schoolteacher.

Public praying en masse in civic places & highways was not a feature of civil life in all of my life then suddenly one religious group decide to do so on frequent occasions not all around key dates - this is political statement wrapped up in religion, it is covert assertion of political aims of one community over others. It is not diversity or inclusive or integration! Nick Timothy & Nigel Farage have every right to point this out.

Yes - pensions payments are an unsustainable issue - 3 options - cap the govt general taxation level of future individuals payments to max £70k with individuals paying into SIPP once govt theoretical pot to fund the£70k is reached. Cut the size of the cs to fit a sustainable payout level. Use commercial annuity rate to calculate pension pot sizes & ban 25% tax free cash lump sum withdrawals

@ThompsonRollo @matthew_elliott Most of the cost is pensions. Unemployment benefits are a very small proportion of the £330bn

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

@SamanthaTaghoy @dshensmith I am genuinely shocked not only at this legislation but also at the total failure of the MSM to highlight what was going on. Again NOT in Labour Party Manifesto I am pretty sure

This is what a full-term baby looks like. The UK government looked into the eyes of sweet, innocent babies like this and decided to decriminalise their murder.

Given that govt taxes for a significant % of the cost of living via direct but also indirect taxation that need to be the first area to address, wage stagnation ( in the private sector) is driven by UK biz environment driving away job creator & too many imported workers + netting zero destroying 300k well paid oil gas & ancillary jobs & replacing them with low value low number solar panel technicians

@ThompsonRollo @matthew_elliott How about addressing long term stagnated wages and the soaring cost of living first?

@Fox_Claire You are always on the right side of the moral & common sense argument ! Always

I'm being named & shamed for my views on abortion. Let me be clear. Name away. But I won't be shamed for sincerely held views & trying to win arguments last night in Lords & more broadly in public for years. PS online version of putting opponents in stocks weakly avoids argument

@John_Stepek In my old business we paid for pay rises within budgets determined by what the customer would pay. In the public sector that statement can be shortened to “ we will give pay rises & the customer will pay”

UK wage inflation (quarter to Jan '26): Regular pay +3.8% y-o-y (previous 4.1%, revised down from 4.2%); +0.5% in real terms (using CPI) Pay w bonuses +3.9% y-o-y (previous 4.2%); +0.7% real Public sector 5.9% (7.2%); private 3.3% (3.4%) (both ex-bonuses)

@Osint613 Wow how naive is that guy - they had a fatwa but bizarrely also had an enrichment plant to enrich beyond civilian needs.

Tucker Carlson: “Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?” Joe Kent: “No, they weren’t. Not in June either. The Iranians have had a religious ruling, a fatwa, against developing a nuclear weapon since 2004. That’s public knowledge, and we had no intelligence suggesting it was being ignored or about to be lifted. The Iranians know the stakes in their region. Their strategy has been to maintain their nuclear program just enough, seeing what happened to Muammar Gaddafi in Libya when he gave up his nukes.”

What a pertinent observation & the police lied to get them banned !

@antoguerrera @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan @repubblica @NJ_Timothy @TRobinsonNewEra or perhaps the constant Palestine / gaza / hamas protesters arching & carrying provocative banners saying inflammatory chants is having an effect just not the one Khan wants! Democracy is being used by muslim block & it is only to be expected that pushback will come

.@MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan tells me and @repubblica his reaction to @NJ_Timothy’s words on Muslims’ praying as “act of domination”: “Until a few years ago I expected this sort of comments from the far right and @TRobinsonNewEra. Now these comments are mainstream both in @reformparty_uk and the @Conservatives. These guys are poundshop president @realDonaldTrump”

@CharlotteCGill no surprise , i stopped watching & donating a decade ago - plenty of small charities that just deliver actual charity or their core purpose with going down a political route & bail for migrants is political

Comic Relief provided £340,000 to "Bail for Immigration Detainees", a charity that provides “free legal advice, information and representation to thousands of people held in detention across the UK.” Discover more of its open-border grants here: charlottecgill.co.uk/p/comic-relief…

Amazing how blatant this is, you have to hope that this is also not happening in some form in the UK but hope is not always enough - we need to check because every fraudulent £ lost to fraud is a £ not spent on those that genuinely need help

@MichaelAArouet that image sums up the craziness of the Green eco cult perfectly

Germany switching off its perfectly fine nuclear power plants, but keeping coal power plants instead to fight climate change in one picture. Enjoy your air quality.

the labour party is morally bankrupt & have torn up the last vestige that the Party Manifesto meant anything - how much has Labour omitted from the public in the electioneering at the last election only to put it as priority. Ironic that economic growth which was key manifesto promise is nowhere to be seen

Rarely had a piece of legislation so freighted with ethical dangers and so heavy with unintended consequences passed so lightly... Forty-six minutes of backbench debate. That was the length of time the House of Commons afforded last year to discussing the biggest change to abortion laws in more than half a century. Clause 208 of the Crime and Policing Bill means that it would no longer be an offence for a woman to induce her own abortion at any stage of pregnancy, for any reason. It was not in Labour’s manifesto, but was nonetheless voted through by 379 to 137.

@clim8resistance @UniofOxford of course they do, academia is a whore to research grants & they know who doles out the grants! The moment grants become available for proving CO2 is good for plants & the environment we will see "CO2 good for the Planet & Life" headlines. Peer Reviewed is a massive scam also

@UniofOxford Oxford University has allowed itself to be turned itself into a grubby green propaganda outfit. Sad.

'Staying the course on clean energy would not only save households three times as much money but render the UK truly energy secure for generations to come.' Maximising North Sea production would reduce bills by just £16 to £82 per year, say researchers from the Oxford Smith School ⬇️ theconversation.com/would-more-nor…

@afneil @LoftusSteve How does an idiot like Vince run a successful business !

This must be a record even for X. A factual mistake in every single sentence. Amazing. Almost admirable in its consistency.

@POLITICOEurope Nope , Boris & the blob have not helped but Germany did not leave the EU & look at the comparison. EU is not the answer

Brexit was “a colossal mistake” and the U.K. should rejoin the EU, Finland's President Alexander Stubb said today. politico.eu/article/finlan…
