@happy_keith @travelingflying @hectorcrosbie Those figures aren’t even for online comms. They include any form of malicious or obscene communication. If I phoned someone and told them I was going to come and kill them and their family I would likely be arrested - that would be in the figure.

@travelingflying @hectorcrosbie Here is proof of Starmer’s dictatorship

RFK Jr: “People are going to jail for Twitter posts in England.” Joe Rogan: “12,000 people in the last year.” RFK Jr: “It’s a dictatorship.”

@travelingflying Totally false. 12,000 people have not been jailed for Twitter posts in England in the last year. That is 100% false, a complete lie.

@FraserNelson @PjrFoto The only change being the end of freedom of movement for citizens of the EU. but I’ll go along with it - so what has this border control achieved?

@PjrFoto border control

I voted for Brexit with a heavy heart ten years ago. I was wrong: it has worked out better than I expected. I'll be debating this with Anand Menon and Lara Spirit at The Times on Mon 29 June. Details:- thetimes.com/events/times-e…

@Robbie_Reasons Start with auditing the numbers you’ve quoted. Totally false.

I think all MP's should be audited every year.

@lbiBB42xo @RobSchneider @cheristired So happy you went there before you started watching fake nonsense on the internet. You’ll be telling us they eat the cats and dogs in London next.

We were going to London in August but now have changed our plans and going elsewhere. So happy we went years ago while our daughter studied abroad there and we loved it. We felt safe with her there esp walking around at night all the time and never an issue. It has changed dramatically, intentionally and not for the better. SAD…

I am canceling my plans to visit the United Kingdom. The despicable treatment of their own citizens in favor of invaders by their Government is truly disgusting.

@JohnCleese Sad to see John Cleese either being taken in by such obvious fake nonsense or knowingly circulating it.

Some of the British police have lost their moral compass

@DavidDavisMP Raynor paid the tax owed.

The lax treatment of Angela Rayner by HMRC has brought into focus how arbitrary the tax authority can be in its treatment of ordinary citizens. Too often, HMRC has pursued individuals and small businesses for vast sums of money in error. HMRC are masters of using process as punishment, making themselves increasingly difficult to contact while torturing people with demand letters and bankruptcy notices. Victims of these errors are often forced to spend huge amounts of time and money to prove HMRC wrong. This sometimes runs to hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees, many times the actual amount in dispute. They also find their names and details published in a list of deliberate tax defaulters, in effect a "name and shame" list. I have to question whether this meets citizens' privacy rights, since these do not appear to be court rulings but HMRC opinions. HMRC's excesses must be brought under control. It is time ministers took a grip of this. telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/news…

@Frantique4 @ClaireCoutinho Ok that’s more like it. A rational objection that doesn’t blame those less fortunate than yourself. I also object to the freezing of the alllowance, it’s an easy way to increase tax without saying you’ve increased tax.

@AndrewAholmes9 @ClaireCoutinho With the current state of UK politics and politicians I'd probably welcome dementia ! I did work hard and I don't regret it. I resent the govt(s) freezing the personal allowance to make us pay too much tax.

People can now get the equivalent of a £71,000 salary on benefits. Working people on £30,000 or £40,000 are asking themselves, why do I bother working so hard? This is not sustainable.

@trussliz So tell us when HMRC made the decision. I don’t know, and I don’t think you do. All you know is when Angela Raynor announced it. She may have waited for an opportune moment. HMRC did not announce it, for the, it’s confidential.

Amazing coincidence of timing by an "independent" Government agency.

@Frantique4 @ClaireCoutinho So you now wish you didn’t work hard, so you could now get a pension of less than £12,570, just so you wouldn’t pay income tax. Sounds like dementia is setting in.

@ClaireCoutinho Just as bad for a retired person who also pays income tax. Why did we bother saving to make for a better retirement when all our previous hard work now goes out in income tax to pay for the uninvited and unwanted people.

@ClaireCoutinho Don’t work then, go and sign up for these benefits. Of course you can’t.

@RichardABCDEFG @JasonJournoDC What, like in the UAE, where 90% of the population are non-Muslim immigrants. Absolute rubbish.

@JasonJournoDC The non Muslims minorities in the Middle East have all been killed off or persecuted to death Its the same for Christians, Hindus, and Jews Every time Lefties love to claim they support rights for native peoples As long as they're not non Muslim minorities in the Middle East

💥NEW: John Fetterman: “The same people that were outraged about the war in Gaza, they gave no f*cks about Iran executing 30,000-40,000 of its young people.”

@VaughanieCOYI @BethRigby She announced it. HMRC didn’t make t(e decision today.

@BethRigby That’s convenient timing, just in time for the Labour election contest, a bit of luck for her isn’t it?

NEW: Statement from Angela Rayner over her tax affairs “I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. “I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. “When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. “I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. “I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC. “I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.” In statement Rayner team says she has paid the stamp duty at the higher rate - HMRC investigation clears Rayner of tax avoidance, with no fine or penalty applied_ - HMRC tax probe has concluded that former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner did not seek to avoid paying the correct stamp duty on the purchase of her property in 2025. - HMRC’s investigation has decided that stamp duty was payable at the higher rate, while concluding that Rayner acted with reasonable care. - Following a very detailed consideration of Angela Rayner’ s conduct, including the advice sought, HMRC have concluded that she had not acted with any impropriety or carelessness and that accordingly no penalty is chargeable.

@AlexStaffords @BethRigby Who says HMRC announced it today. They didn’t. They don’t announce private tax issues. Raynor announced it today.

@BethRigby What odd timing from HMRC, the day of an official leadership challenge.

@linmeitalks This government has greatly reduced migration, not that you’d know that - the press and TV news just don’t report it. Check the figures yourself. Last year net immigration was a third of the previous year’s figure.

I’ll tell you why we have had so many Prime Ministers …. THEY DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE! It is clear as day what most of the British people want & what is good for the country long term -lower migration -grow the economy/lower taxes -cut welfare and put inactive people in jobs So simple! Tell me which party has done that??

@TheTributeAct @FurkanGozukara It’s not long since he told us all their military capabilities had been destroyed. Now he tells us they launched 111 missiles simultaneously. If you assume everything he says is a lie you aren’t going to be far off.

@FurkanGozukara I'm not a fan but is this just reflexive "everything Trump says must be a lie"? 3000mph is MACH3.9. That's not even hypersonic. Iran certainly have missiles that can go much faster. 111 fired at a single target? Who knows? US defence capabilities? No idea either.

Absolute disaster for the Pentagon. Trump bizarrely claims US forces intercepted 111 Iranian missiles flying at 3,000 mph. He accidentally exposes the sheer absurdity of his own propaganda, fabricating impossible military feats to hide his failures.

@RobertJenrick I need to win the lottery jackpot.

We need a general election.

@nicolelampert What difference would proscribing the IRGC make?

Biggest cheers when the Chief Rabbi demands to know why the IRGC hasn’t been proscribed.

@GuntherEagleman Hungary?

🚨 CLASSIC TRUMP! Reporter: “Any response to the UK election results last night?” President Trump: “Ahhh. I sorta leave that to them. I’m happy about everything. Our country is doing well.” No drama. No meddling. Straight America First

@RobertJenrick Gave them away did he. I don’t think so. He exchanged gold for cash so we could spend it. Why would we pay tax so the government could speculate on gold prices and stash it away.

Genius. Bring back the guy who gave away our gold reserves to advise on ‘economic resilience’. What could possibly go wrong.
