@Tim30do @RupertLowe10 If you are unable to see the correlation between immigration and supply no wonder you vote left!

I read that this trans Indian migrant who has managed to get elected to the Scottish Parliament has backed calls for Scots to pay reparations to Palestine. Here's the official Restore Britain response. Piss off.

@Halcruttenden Arrested, taken to jail or imprisoned.

This lie is gaining so much currency. And it’s bullshit.

@stewybabe30 @KingBobIIV When I was young we only toasted one side.

@KingBobIIV I saw somebody making toast the other day, he buttered both sides. Not sure if he’s genius or a psychopath

Why hasn't anyone invented pre-buttered bread? Warburtons could do a great collaboration with Anchor butter, for example.

@LoftusSteve Is David Lammy asking for reparations?

The BBC somehow frames this story of Afghan fathers selling their young daughters into sex slavery as a hardship for them.

@blackpint @aakashgupta Weather.

@aakashgupta So was 1877 climate change or global warming?

The last time an El Niño this strong hit, it killed 50 million people. That was 3 to 4% of the entire world population. Scale that to today and you're looking at 250 million equivalent. The 1877 Super El Niño triggered simultaneous droughts across India, China, Brazil, and East Africa. Crops failed on four continents at the same time. The famine lasted three years. Researchers have called it "arguably the worst environmental disaster to ever befall humanity." NOAA's latest update gives a two-in-three chance this one reaches strong or very strong by fall. European models are even more aggressive. Sea surface temperatures need to exceed 2°C above normal to qualify as "super." The trajectory is pointing directly at that threshold. Here's what makes 2026 structurally different from every previous Super El Niño: there are two independent supply shocks converging on the same crop cycle. The Iran war has shut down roughly a third of the world's seaborne fertilizer trade through the Strait of Hormuz. US fertilizer supply was at 75% of normal in mid-March, right when the Corn Belt needed it most. Fertilizer prices hit their highest level since 2022. That input shortage is already baked into the 2026 growing season. The El Niño yield shock operates on a 6 to 12 month lag. India is forecasting below-normal monsoons for the first time in three years. Indonesia and Malaysia carry 90% of global palm oil, and El Niño production declines in those countries take 6 to 24 months to peak. Every strong El Niño in the past 55 years has reduced global cocoa production. So the fertilizer shortage weakens the crops El Niño is about to stress, and the El Niño yield collapse hits in 2027 on fields that were already under-fertilized in 2026. Two shocks with nearly identical lag structures, converging on the same harvest window. The difference between 1877 and 2026: we can see this one coming six months out. The commodity futures curve is barely pricing either shock. Whether that's rational discounting or willful denial depends entirely on what the Pacific Ocean does between now and October.

@apes147 @GoodwinMJ Playing the man, not the ball. Who is "stirring"?

@DavidCKingston @GoodwinMJ I don’t think I was at all. You clearly just enjoy stirring it up. He continually misrepresents facts - and to me, thats lying.

Suicidal empathy is allowing the First Lady of Sierra Leone to have a council flat in Southwark while she lives in a presidential mansion overseas and British families and military veterans wait on the housing list. I. Am. So. Done. With. This. Vote. Reform.

@A1an_M @bphillipsonMP From those who brought you "AH was being ironic in his party name".

@bphillipsonMP It's funny how the people always denouncing others as "fascists" are the actual fascists.

With Reform UK, it's always about 'looking after our own' until it comes to feeding children. Labour is providing over 6,400 children across Kent County Council with free breakfast clubs. Reform UK literally want to take the food from their mouths. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@TruthSentinel1 @afneil Why did they do that? Was it so evil Tories could tie maidens to railway lines? Or possibly to reduce their debts? theweek.com/culture-life/p…

@afneil The Right to Buy scheme stripped councils of housing stock, largely because Thatcher’s government prevented many councils from using the proceeds to build replacement homes. It’s almost as if you’re unaware that this restriction even existed.

Nice to hear from you, Andy. Thanks for the by election. We live for such things. I’m in no doubt life is tough for lots of folk in Makerfield. But it’s hardly a poster child for urban squalor/deprivation. Thatcher left power in 1990. She was followed by seven years of unThatcher Major and 13 years of Labour government, of which you were a part. So it’s quite a stretch to blame her for any continuing woes. Unless we blame Labour for failing to put anything right. On the other hand the houses you were walking past were bought by the tenants under Thatcher’s right to buy scheme, which has given them some pride in place and some wealth they once could only have dreamt of accumulating. I assume your pledge to ‘renationalise housing’ does not include taking these homes back into public ownership ... even if that would constitute a proper, radical reversal of the Thatcherism you’re (some what bizarrely) campaigning against.

@TruthSentinel1 @FergusMason25 @afneil Like the unprecedented weather commentary, some people don't check the past. I've traced families back >300 years and the first home ownership occurred from the 1960s. The 2 generations since are the anomaly. I don't think it would be the norm to buy a house at 25.

@FergusMason25 @afneil So future generations don't get that chance. Are you drunk?

@BambrickDaz @mattyniven @rrothWA @PeterDClack I imagine that was the cheap option. UK used to do this: powerstations.uk/gale-common-as…

@DavidCKingston @mattyniven @rrothWA @PeterDClack There is a very specific set of circumstances that enable those technologies, the main one being the ash needs to be dry conveyed. For many older plants the ash is mixed with recycled cooling water or seawater which makes the resultant slurry highly saline and useless for reuse

This isn't just a pile of debris - it’s the future of green energy waste hidden in plain sight. Millions of solar panels are hitting their end-of-life cycle, and the world is completely unprepared for the coming toxic avalanche. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects up to 78 million metric tons of solar e-waste. Where is it all going to go? The industry boasts that solar panels are '95% recyclable'. Technically, yes - because they are made of glass, aluminum and copper. But economics always trumps physics. In Australia and the US, it costs roughly $20 to $28 to properly disassemble and recycle a single panel, but only about $4 to dump it in landfill. Because there is no financial incentive, up to 90% of decommissioned panels go straight into the ground. Each solar panel is an industrial 'sandwich' bound tightly by heavy polymers. To extract the microscopic amounts of valuable silver and high-purity silicon requires energy-intensive chemical and thermal baking. When they are crushed or left to fracture in landfills, heavy metals like lead and cadmium can leach into the surrounding soil and groundwater, turning 'clean energy' into a multi-generational hazardous waste problem. The crisis is accelerating faster than models predicted. Because solar cells degrade and lose efficiency, and because newer, cheaper panels hit the market, consumers and solar farms are ripping out functional systems at least a decade early to upgrade. This compressed lifecycle destroys the narrative of a long-term, stable asset and creates an endless loop of unrecyclable industrial trash.

@apes147 @GoodwinMJ I believe you were calling @GoodwinMJ a liar for stating a fact you agree is correct.

@DavidCKingston @GoodwinMJ No. I’m stating that they get priority on those lists - very often going to the top of those lists without even the requirement for local connections. That said, housing can only be allocated if it is available.

@PaulCoxComedy @GBNEWS @PatrickChristys @beverleyturner Cracking in those Night Watches eh.

Good morning, Sir Oinksalot and I love you x Tonight I am back on @GBNEWS 🤩 I’ll be on the panel for @PatrickChristys Tonight Late Edition 🇬🇧 Following that I will be supporting @beverleyturner on the Late Show Live 🇺🇸 See you at 23:00 to 03:00 Freesat 216, Sky 512, Virgin 604, FreeView or YouView 236, Samsung 4326, SkyGlass 509, DAB, Radio, GBNews App, YouTube

@grok @qutus123 @RobbieScowlz @DPJHodges To out-pedant the OP, you should have said zero and awaited his definition of murky.

You're right—both are the same South Thanet constituency. Farage contested it twice: in the 2005 general election (for UKIP) and again in 2015 (also UKIP, where he came second). The list shows each of his 8 separate election contests with the year, not unique seats only. Thanks for pointing it out.

Again, this is bonkers from Reform'. How many seats did Nigel Farage stand in before eventually winning in Clacton.

@apes147 @GoodwinMJ Are you suggesting there are no military personnel on waiting lists?

@GoodwinMJ Military veterans get priority on housing lists under the Armed Forces Covenant - but I wouldn’t expect the truth from Matt no win. #ReformLies

@SalfordMe2023 @GoodwinMJ Good to know there can only be one non-fiction book on any topic. Perhaps @GoodwinMJ puts his personal knowledge/experiences into it, making it useful for a UK reader.

You throw the word suicide around like confetti. (I know, only the woke worry about triggers) People assume I'm just extending the contempt I feel for you when I tweet that I've read your book and it's crap. As I read it, I thought it really reminded me of something but couldn't remember what. Suicidal empathy is a term coined by a psychologist called Dr. Gad Saad. A pro-Trump professor, he likes to call things woke nonsense. If you asked Chat GPT to rewrite the key points of Saad's books The Parasitic Mind and the familiarly titled Suicidal Empathy anglicised, the new addition to the family wouldn't be a million miles away from your Suicide of a Nation.

@BambrickDaz @mattyniven @rrothWA @PeterDClack I've never met an engineer who can't use a search engine. You could also look up advances in coal emissions and filtration for more info on "dirty" coal. The same eco-luddites are stalling clean engine tech.epa.gov/coal-combustio…

@mattyniven @rrothWA @PeterDClack Solar panels can be recycled, coal ash can't be

You Want To Talk About Foreign Money, Ed? Let's Talk About Your Money. @EdwardJDavey, three points that demand a response. You invoke Ted Heath's sacking of Enoch Powell as the model for dealing with unacceptable speech. Powell was sacked for predicting, with documented demographic evidence, what is now visibly happening in British cities. The political class that applauded Heath's decision spent the next fifty years ensuring that nobody could say what Powell said without career destruction. The result is not a more harmonious society. It is the one we are living in now. The cordon sanitaire you want to rebuild is the mechanism that prevented honest conversation about immigration, integration and parallel communities until the consequences became undeniable. Rebuilding it now is a demand to return to the conditions that produced the problem. On antisemitism at both demonstrations. You claim antisemitic slurs appeared on placards at both marches. If specific antisemitic incidents occurred at the Unite the Kingdom march they should be named, documented and prosecuted. Vague claims that both marches were equally antisemitic without specific evidence is precisely the false equivalence that allowed genuine antisemitism to flourish unchallenged for two and a half years. The antisemitism documented across thirty three pro-Palestinian marches since October 2023, the death to Israel chants, the red triangles, the Iranian regime flags, is on the public record. Name the equivalent from Saturday's march or withdraw the claim. The real problem lies closer to home. In the captured institutions that produced the progressive mindset now visible in BBC newsrooms, government departments, HR bureaucracies and university humanities faculties. Those institutions were not captured by the far right. They were captured by the progressive left over fifty years of patient institutional work, a process Gramsci theorised in the 1930s and Dutschke operationalised in the 1960s. That capture has produced a generation that cannot define a woman, treats the Union Jack as a symbol of fascism, marches under Iranian regime flags and describes Jews as an abomination to this planet in private WhatsApp groups. The march you find sickening is the reaction to that capture. Addressing the reaction without addressing the cause is not leadership. It is evasion dressed as principle. And stopping the flow of Qatari money into British universities, which has funded the academic infrastructure producing that generation, would be a more productive use of your energy than rebuilding a cordon sanitaire around anyone who names what has happened. On foreign funding. Since you raise it so forcefully the Liberal Democrats need to answer some questions of their own. Your biggest election donor in 2024 was Safwan Adam, a director of Stay Belvedere Hotels Limited, a firm that ran 51 hotels housing asylum seekers across England and Wales, provided approximately a quarter of all Home Office asylum places and reported nearly £705 million in income in a single year while paying out £45 million in dividends. Adam gave your party nearly £500,000 before the July 2024 election and over £750,000 across that year. The firm was subsequently stripped of its Home Office contract due to concerns about its performance. The Liberal Democrats, the party demanding stronger borders against foreign money in politics, were bankrolled by the man who made a fortune from the border crisis your policies would deepen. Elon Musk's funding of British politics is a legitimate concern. So is the Qatari money flowing into British universities producing the generation now marching under Hamas symbols. So is the Iranian funding of mosques documented by the Henry Jackson Society. And so is your biggest donor making hundreds of millions from the asylum crisis while your party campaigns to expand it. "Safwan Adam gave your party nearly £500,000 before the July 2024 election and over £750,000 across that year."

@mishtal They spent 60 years telling us National Socialists were right wing.

If you think that waving this flag: 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Makes me a fascist and an extremist But waving these flags: 🇵🇸🇵🇰🇹🇷 🇸🇾 🇹🇳 🇩🇿🇵🇸🇵🇰🇹🇷 🇸🇾 🇹🇳🇩🇿 Shows I support freedom and human rights You really need to go back to school

@JChimirie66677 @mishtal The best place to start the Long March through the Institutions was education.

@mishtal David, you are right. But going back to school is precisely the problem. It is the school, and more specifically the university, that installed that mindset in the first place. The generation that waves Palestinian, Pakistani, Turkish and Algerian flags while treating the Union Jack as a symbol of fascism did not arrive at that conclusion independently. It was taught to them. Gramsci theorised it in the 1930s. Dutschke operationalised it in the 1960s. Fifty years of patient capture of humanities departments, education faculties, student unions and the cultural infrastructure of British universities has produced graduates who have been taught that Western civilisation is the oppressor, national identity is suspect, the Union Jack represents empire and colonialism, and anyone who displays it proudly is signalling something sinister. Meanwhile flags representing countries with active persecution of women, gay people, religious minorities and political dissidents are symbols of resistance and solidarity. Ignorance would be forgivable. Education is deliberate. Specifically the kind of education that teaches students what to conclude before they have examined the evidence. The universities that produced this generation took Gulf funding, hired activist academics, tolerated the shutdown of dissenting speakers and built an ideological monoculture so complete that graduates emerge genuinely unable to understand why anyone would find the inversion you have identified troubling. You are right that they need to go back to school. The problem is the school is what broke them.

@5Pillarsuk By undercover, do you mean jeans, T shirt and saying hello/good morning to people?

Roshan Muhammed Salih went undercover at the Tommy Robinson "Unite The Kingdom" hate march in London today. He saw fewer white nationalists than he expected, but lots of Islamophobia, support for Israel, fake Christianity, drunkeness and dogs.
