Free wheeling, slightly unhinged, pretty centrist, will not be lead. Views are my own and I won't hold back, that's me, I'm annoying.

If Vladimir Putin changed the voting system days before an election to stop his opponents winning, every British journalist would call it what it is: rigging the rules. Tonight, Labour rammed through a last‑minute switch in the Lords so that if Andy Burnham wins Makerfield and quits as Greater Manchester Mayor, his replacement won’t be chosen on a simple first‑past‑the‑post ballot, but on the supplementary vote system instead. Why now? Because Labour knows the race to replace Burnham would be a straight two‑horse fight with Reform UK – and under FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, no second chances, no back‑room redistributions, no “stop Reform” stitch‑ups. Under SV, Labour gets a second bite of the cherry: if their candidate can limp into the top two, they can hoover up second preferences from every other party and magic a “majority” on the second count, even if Reform tops the poll on first preferences. This isn’t “modernising democracy”. It’s the governing party using its Commons majority and the unelected Lords to hurriedly doctor the rules of one specific contest because it’s terrified the voters might choose someone else. When the establishment preached to the world about “rules‑based order”, they forgot to mention one thing: in Britain, the rules are “based” on whether Labour thinks it might lose.

🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 America has survived the World Cup. But this American woman’s vocabulary may never recover. One chance encounter with eight British lads in Austin was all it took. Now she’s picking up phrases no American school ever taught her. Phrases like ‘I’d rather shit in my hands and clap.’ She can’t stop thinking about them. She can’t stop using the words. And she’s already planning her visit to the motherland. 😅👇

@kevinnbass @Keir_Starmer Erm, he didn't think he had enough to guarantee the conviction wasn't it, I can't remember. But like AFTER Saville died is when the flood gates opened, not before his death.

Did you know @Keir_Starmer personally declined to prosecute Jimmy Savile, who had raped hundreds of children, and who continued raping children after Starmer declined? Starmer has turned a blind eye to child rape his entire career. His callousness continues today. Why?

@gobbyron @Keir_Starmer This is one of the most balanced and brilliant posts I’ve read in ages. Thank you. I really hope financially you feel more in your pockets very soon. Keir genuinely is in it from his heart. Politicians like that are so rare. I hope he doesn’t go anywhere. Xx

There are few in power I’ve seen as bullied & betrayed as Keir Starmer. That is not a reflection on him, but rather the ego & vendetta of others. He serves tirelessly, facing evil bravely & head on. He exceeds my expectations daily. If he went, I’m genuinely done with Labour.

Tommy Robinson at the Oxford Union yesterday and you can see exactly how much he enjoyed it with that smile. 🔥 While the usual crowd of protesters with their rainbow hair and protest signs raged outside, Tommy was inside the historic debating chamber dismantling their arguments with facts, clarity, and conviction. This isn’t just a working-class hero from Luton, this is a sharp, intelligent man who knows exactly what he’s talking about and refuses to back down. He represented Britain with pride and absolutely annihilated the opposition. We are proud of you, Tommy. Well done, mate. 🇬🇧💪 @TRobinsonNewEra

@gobbyron @malsimons @Keir_Starmer Burnham has shown me enough already to know I’d never vote for him in the future. Unfortunately I now see that he is arrogant. Him saying he’ll give Keir 72 hours to prepare for his own departure after he (Andy) wins is beyond rude & utterly arrogant. Those aren’t traits I like.

Don't get me wrong, financially I am suffering. but that's not his fault, they had a plan or vision as people don't like to acknowledge when they came into power to reset the economy, and I believe they have, not as much as I would have, but then I don't know owt lol. But, reading the numbers, I can see it's getting better, I just don't feel it yet. But the man, I 100% believe his heart is in it for the country, not being a career politician he is a bit naive and so lack some control with press etc, but he does not deserve what the press throw at him, not even remotely. He IS rising to any challenge at home, and even for those that have resigned, he is attempting to appease. But on the global stage, the one which Rishi Sunak didn't even know existed, he has managed to get us back from a laughing stock, to a main player again, something Britain has always been proud of. If people in this country stopped listening and reading social media and read the ONS or the OBR websites and attempted to understand a little, they might actually get to understanding what 'the ship is turning' means literally and to Starmer, they might actually agree with him.

@malsimons @charlotteukcity @Keir_Starmer I kind of agree, Burnham should spend the rest of Kiers first term working out his plan, then he should support Kier for a second term, then, but only then would I vote for Labour under Burnham.

This communist thug has threatened me after my vicious attack in Manchester. He said that I would likely be killed because of my supposed far-right racist beliefs. Stand Up To Racism have refused to condemn the attack and instead spent their time condemning me as a far-right agitator. There is no such thing as a no-go zone. I am British. This is my ancestral homeland. And the British people deserve the right to talk about how their country should be run. So I'm announcing a national day of action with the banner, "We need to deport millions". Change my mind. I will be doing a gazebo stand in Manchester Piccadilly Gardens on the 27th of June, Saturday. More details will be coming out. We'll be having guests with me. A gazebo and a wall of security. I'm calling all patriots to come down. We'll have a Q&A. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to come up and debate me. I'm certainly stubborn and will not stop public street debates and certainly won't stop at universities.

You’re mixing together a few separate arguments and treating them as one conclusion. If officials fail to enforce the law because they’re afraid of accusations of racism, that’s wrong — the law should apply equally. Victims should never be ignored to avoid political embarrassment. But that doesn’t mean “the left is racist”, that immigration is a communist plot, or that every institution is coordinated. Those are much bigger claims and need evidence separately. You say race shouldn’t matter — I agree. That means crimes should be investigated regardless of race, victims should be supported regardless of race, and rights should apply regardless of race. If the standard is equal treatment, then apply it consistently rather than assuming every bad decision is proof of one political ideology.

The left sees race when no one is looking at race, as you did in our conversation. When people are not treated equally simply because of the color of their skin, whether that is by causing them harm or giving them extra privilege, it is still unequal and therefore racist regardless of race. Like that’s rape gangs they are talking about lately where the offenders are punished for fear that they will look racist for enforcing the law, while the same time the victim finds themselves doubly victimized as they are punished for reporting it. News stations refuse to report on crimes done by certain races, judges give minimal if any sentence on certain races. It’s not equal treatment. This is the left I am describing. There are more stories that describe these exact actions than I could write if I were to sit here and type all day. The left is racist. They are simply trying to convince you otherwise so that you are complacent as they replace your government with a communist one. Flooding a country quickly with a large stream of people quickly topples the country and forces them into compliance when they place a new government structure ( in this case communism which they are currently doing with multiple countries that have been a part of western civilization). This is the same tactic George Sorros used during the Cold War. And don’t know if you have ever read much on the subject of communism, but it is responsible for more than 100 million innocent people deaths. That’s more than world war 1 and 2 put together and doubled. Your leftist government that you are so supportive of doesn’t give flying fuck about you or any of the bullshit bleeding heart liberal themes it pushes, those are tactics they use to control a crowd. It’s the same across Europe and until Trump was also what was being force in the USA.

Young Bob, who literally sets up a stall to calmly debate anyone, is again attacked by a gang of invaders today. Anyone celebrating or encouraging this is a coward. Starmer's regime shutting down debate online, and the left shutting it down in public!
