@NiohBerg They ain't British.

"Two British men - Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19 - and a 17-year-old boy who is a dual British-Pakistani national" Ok so three pakistanis then. Deport them all.

@darrengrimes You can't help laughing really, this person would be the first they'd go after, so naïve.

You would think a Green’s candidate number 1 issue would be something related to the environment, however it has become apparent that it’s not even on the list of issues they care about now. The Green’s number 1 priority is Palestine, not Britain.

@UKLabour I feel sorry for the person who has to manage this account, the amount of lies they have to tell must be depressing for them.

We’ve been clear from the start.

@ItsGoTime6 @ArchRose90 @ukblm Nah mate, it was an opportunity for some to make a ton of cash, Google the ringleaders and tell me how a "cause" can get you a mansion, raises 90m in the first year but only ever donated 30m? Managed to do very well out of it.

@ACforReformUK @ArchRose90 @ukblm a fad where real people died?

Police have named the 14-year-old who was shot dead in Woolwich yesterday as Eghosa Ogbebor. He was murdered by other black people. Black Lives Matter UK @ukblm what time will the mass protest be?

@dustin1986 @Jenny_1884 I'm sure many do but maybe your time will come?

@Jenny_1884 @ACforReformUK Wish I had a size to down from!

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

@combird @Jenny_1884 Lo, you're missing the point, Jen's generation is the 1st to have hit the property jackpot, she's a winner, good for her.

@Jenny_1884 @ACforReformUK And the point is that you shouldn’t have had to do that. Did generations before you need to do that?

@Jenny_1884 I genuinely mean this Jen, I'm pleased for you! You had an opportunity to help your children because of the massive increase in the value of your property, you took advantage, I'd do the same, I will do the same. 👍

@ACforReformUK We downsized in order to get both our children on the property ladder.

@HStonefree @JonathanBrash The Left always accuses everyone else of being either a nazi or a traitor, boring isn't it.

@JonathanBrash Jonathan, before criticising another politician, you might want to take a closer look at your own leader. And while we’re at it, do you actually understand what the word “traitor” means? It might be worth checking a dictionary before using it.

Talks us down with his bare faced lies at every turn. This man is a nasty little traitor. A puppet of foreign leaders.

@DanielJHannan Does the above include all costs, health, education, policing, prisons, competition for limited housing pushes up rents and costs are then added to the benefits bills, there's more to just paying them benefits, unfortunately.

I am all for cutting benefits, and would have a moratorium on claims by foreign nationals. But, for the love of God, can we please stop pretending that that would solve our fiscal problems.

@Poke01Bavovna @RobertJenrick Poke do you even understand how an economy works? No I didn't think you did. The pension liability is enough to sink this country, it needs tackling, if you can't grasp the enormity of it, and clearly you can't, then sit down and shut up.

@ACforReformUK @RobertJenrick Andy, do you understand public sector pensions? No, you don’t. Public sector are on lower pay then the private, so you increase pay BUT then the issue here is what do you do with unfunded DB public sector pensions as the liabilities remain for the treasury to pay. Where is 1/

Defined benefit public sector pensions are the British state’s second largest liability. They’re about £2.4 trillion - around 100 per cent of GDP. The old parties have ducked this for years. Most of the media won’t talk about it either. But Reform UK will not dodge this mammoth issue. Richard Tice has already announced that a Reform would close Local Government Pension Schemes to new entrants. And today Reform UK launched a review of whether new entrants for any defined benefit scheme should be permitted to such schemes. Reform UK have already announced £40bn of yearly savings. In the coming weeks, we’ll be saying more about the true cost of the Boriswave and unskilled migration we’ve had - and how Reform will stop it blowing a hole in the country’s finances. And we will commit to more savings in the coming months. It’s because we are the only the party with a plan to cut wasteful spending that we can credibly commit to keeping the triple lock. So, yes: we’ll balance the books. We just won’t do it on the backs of British people who’ve paid in their whole life. Instead, we’ll save tens of billions by resetting Government spending so it puts the British people – and only the British people – first.  Politics is about choices.  And we choose the British people. We will every time.

"This is Ted he is a 96 year old WW2 veteran. He came into my pub today for his lunch. I couldn't help but notice his medals I just had to go and ask him about his life and say thank you for his service to our country. He became really overwhelmed and cried. He said 'thank you young man no one cares about what I have to say anymore.' I told him that I'm sure there are so many people that do. Can we all please like and share this post and show him just how many of do care about our veterans and prove to Ted he's not forgotten. I will show him this post when he comes back for his dinner next week." Credit - animal discovery

@Jztujj @cricketwyvern Where are you getting today's £70 strike price, I can't see it

@ACforReformUK @cricketwyvern £90 per MwH are the new contacts just signed in the last auction. Not built yet The ones online are £60 per MwH strike price Blades are now recyclable, they are even made in Hull Look up Pump storage, loads of projects planned - solves the reservoir problem too

ONS has just updated trade figures & we now have the EU/non-EU breakdown for 2025. In 2025, UK total (goods & services) exports to the EU were: · 18.9%⬆️on 2015 (pre-referendum). · 3.8%⬆️on 2019 (before leaving EU). · 3.2%⬆️on 2024. (all in real terms) …

The UK is one of the worst countries globally for sunshine, you're advocating for a critical energy source that is at best completely unreliable. Why?? We've skirted blackouts in the last couple of winters because we've gone down this unreliable energy policy, we've seen manufacturers go overseas, our energy usage is down 25% since 2020 and we're still paying huge amounts for our energy. Odd.

@ACforReformUK @cricketwyvern Solar is even cheaper around £50 pMwH, yes the sun only shines in the day, but that’s when we use most of our energy, a 10kwh battery is enough storage for a house for 24 hours too, mass adoption on every house would resolve the crisis over night.

To be fair, your prices are way out, we've an average of over £90mwh and don't even look at the price for the floating wind farms, that's in the hundreds £ per MWh, now factor in the absolutely useless reliability, zero storage capacity and enormous infrastructure cost, zero recycling options of the blades and solars lack of power at night and I give you a basket of BS, now let's look at new nuclear power costs and you'll realise that the UK needs to kill NZ off, burn red tape and enact a national energy emergency, but we won't, we've idiots in power and we'll probably be told to not travel, not go on holiday, but this was always the play wasn't it.

@ACforReformUK @cricketwyvern Net Zero 😂 The CFD (Strike price) contract for the vast amounts of wind energy being produced this week is around £60 pMwH Gas is around £140 pMwH If the price was decoupled from Gas Scotland would be the manufacturing hub of Europe - it has 120% Wind Capacity

@Jztujj @cricketwyvern It's a brilliant success, trade is up big time, there's never a guarantee of services up, they've done a great job, if you're concerned about manufacturing I'd suggest net zero has done more damage to that sector than the Left will admit.

@ACforReformUK @cricketwyvern As stated… the service sector exports would have gone up regardless of Brexit or not Services are tariff free, there is no tariff, no need to trade deals With Brexit - Service sector up, goods down Without Brexit - Both up Not a success at all

@MarkFaulknerUK @cricketwyvern We can only deal with the known. No way of factoring in COVID, Ukraine etc.

@cricketwyvern I guess the counterargument from some would be that it would have grown faster if we'd not left the EU? (I'm a Leave voter, but one who thinks trying to steelman opposing views is good practice)

@Jztujj @cricketwyvern Half glass empty ? It's higher, that's all we need to know, no one on the left will ever admit Brexit was a success, imagine if we'd gone full Brexit!!

@cricketwyvern Only due to a booming service sector Services are predominantly tariff free I may add and would have boomed regardless of any ‘new deals’ outside the EU Goods trade has plummeted compared to the G7
