@LeeAndersonMP_ They shouldn't be getting that much in benefits, they should be getting less than the personal allowance (and that's being generous)

Just throwing this one out there as I was asked this question earlier today. A couple both working with a combined income of £50,000 would pay £11,500 a year in income tax and national insurance, Another couple receiving £50,000 in benefits including Universal Credit, Personal Independent Payment, Housing Benefit, Income Support and Child Benefit would pay no income tax or national insurance, keeping the full £50,000. Should the non-working couple on £50,000 a year pay the same amount of income tax and national insurance as the working couple? Please leave a comment below.

The Ukrainian Rent Boy trial started this morning in court 2 of the Old Bailey on the Government website it says any breach of reporting restrictions is punishable by sanctions up to and including imprisonment. A full MSM ban ? Thank goodness we have a free press in the UK !

I honestly don't understand how the Hermer stuff doesn't just bring down him but the entire government. Persecuting your own soldiers, your own war heroes, and being proud of that when you know they're innocent. These people genuinely are our enemies. It's not an exaggeration

🚨Argentina tells Falklanders to go back to England Milei’s claim to the Falklands has been boosted by Trump’s threat to review the official US position. Two problems with Argentina’s comments… Firstly, Falkland Islanders are born on the islands - it’s naive to order them to go back to a place they’ve never lived in… Secondly, and more importantly, Argentina has never owned the Falklands. Rather, their invasion in 1982 was illegal. The Falklands must remain British! But Starmer will probably sell us out in the same way he’s tried with Chagos and Gibraltar…

According to Labour MP, Emma Reynolds, we’re spending too much time talking about Peter Mandelson. A reminder that her party spent SIX months talking about a piece of birthday cake in Tupperware, whether a Zoom quiz was a party & mentioning gatherings where Boris wasn’t present.

Why is it that Denmark can ignore the ECHR and deport ALL migrants with a conviction of a year or more WITHOUT APPEAL, yet the timid UK remains a frightened rabbit in the headlights of the wretched ECHR?🤔 Ignore it or scrap it!🤨

@toryboypierce @GBNEWS Absolutely spot on about @AlistairCarns ..MP and Defence Minister.. a former Army officer who’s gone .. AWOL for the vote on prosecuting soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the 70’s This would remove the safeguards put in place by the last Tory Gov. Apparently a trip abroad was more important 🤔 Quite astonishing and extremely disappointing.. but just shows what this @UKLabour Gov. really think.. @Keir_Starmer, Lord Hermer and CO’s fingerprints .. are all over this ! Meanwhile the IRA terrorists were given immunity !!

We don't have a strong military. And this little shit wants to prosecute our Veterans. Evil Penfold can trot on.

Do you know what this is? It is a Bentley. Average price is about Euro 300k. According to Richard Leopold, Bentley’s regional director, the top three cities where the most Bentleys were sold in 2025 are: 1. Padua (Italy) 2. Rotterdam (Netherlands) 3. Kyiv (Ukraine) Wait. What? Ukraine? You mean the Ukraine that just got another Euro 90 billion from the EU? Two fun facts: The average price of a Bentley sold in Kyiv is Euro 400k because they are buying the top end models. Demand for Bentleys in Kyiv has more than doubled in the three years since the war started. So if you are in the UK or EU, you can go back to struggling to pay for your supermarket shop this week, and take comfort that your taxes are being well used to prop up the luxury car market in Kyiv.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS. British by discovery, British by settlement, British by blood. First sighted by Englishman John Davis in 1592 and first landed by Captain John Strong of the Royal Navy in 1690 — 126 years before Argentina even existed. Britain founded Port Egmont in 1765. The islanders today are overwhelmingly of British stock — English, Scottish, Welsh, and Ulster descent — speaking English, flying the Union Flag, and identifying as British in every census. When Galtieri’s junta invaded in 1982, Thatcher’s Task Force sent them packing in 74 days. British losses: 255. Argentine losses: 649 dead, over 11,000 surrendered as prisoners. The cruiser General Belgrano alone took 323 of them to the bottom of the South Atlantic. In 2013, the islanders voted 99.8% to remain British.

“The staggering cost of Ed Miliband's Net Zero drive finally revealed: £4.5 trillion... that's more than the UK's entire GDP.”

Labour continues its destruction of industry. You decide for yourself if it’s incompetence or design. By imposing duty tariffs on imported steel, we now have the most expensive steel in Europe – up 25% since the start of the year. The aim was to protect British steel, er …. Which we don’t have much of because of our net zero restrictions and energy costs. And now we also have shortages, rising costs, and panic across manufacturing and construction. Instead of helping the industry their policy has wankered (technical term) what was left. Brilliant 🤡

Benefits were sold to the public as a last‑resort safety net: you pay in through your taxes and National Insurance so that if the worst happens, nobody is left with nothing. That social contract depends on one thing – the people funding it believing it is tightly focused on essentials, not optional extras. Yet we now have a system where being on benefits is increasingly tied to “perks” and “discounts” for non‑essentials – days out, attractions, “experiences” – at the exact same time as working families, taxed to the hilt, are cutting back on those very things for their own children. The basic question writes itself: how is it remotely fair that the people financing the system can’t afford these outings, but the system is being used to subsidise them for others? This isn’t an argument against a safety net. It’s an argument against a political class that has quietly rebranded welfare from emergency support into a parallel lifestyle infrastructure, while telling workers there is “no money” to ease their tax burden or improve their own living standards. That should not be happening in any serious, responsible country.

Every time I hear someone like Rycroft call for us to rejoin it confirms my belief that it was because of senior civil servants like him that we wasted the opportunities presented by leaving Starmer, the most passionate EU supporter, may be on the way out but the blob inside Whitehall are desperate to rejoin so they can simply be told what to do again by Brussels. They have no confidence in our country but they underestimate just how out of touch they are with the feelings of those they look down on from their cosy establishment.

I naively expected "I look forward to the investigation & the opportunity it will provide for me to clear my name". Instead, we will be treated to a whipped "no" by Labour MPs who have no knowledge of what took place & who will show themselves as incurious as their pro tem leader

When Richard Williams, the former commander of 22 SAS speaks out and says that Starmer and Hermer have blocked us from ever going to war with their legal mumbo jumbo, then you know that the UK is weak and helpless. This vile pair need to be formally investigated.🤨🤨🤨

Hands up who thinks these ‘plans’ won’t be acted upon?

Turn on the London marathon for 5 minutes. Massive Palestine flags flying at the start line. Then on repeated lampposts etc. I’ll get gaslit and abused for saying this but, simply put, it’s an attempt at ideological domination, and a symbol of the Islamisation of our cultural life. The flag of a foreign land, governed by literal jihadist terrorists, who hate Britain, hate the West, and are dedicated to the eradication of Jews. Oh and who recently mass-murdered every ‘infidel’ they could find. It’s forced on us endlessly. And people are scared to push back against it. The average Brit does not want this. The constant sectarian politicisation and corruption of all areas of our social life. It’s not ‘organic’ either. It’s pushed by a vocal and shameless minority of activists. And it’s the result of the importation into, and spread across our nation of, sectarian Islam, which is of course backed up and bolstered by the cult-left and self-hating woke dogmatists.
