This is Keir Starmer in a nutshell. There are local elections happening across the country. So what does he do? He heads to an EU Summit to hand over £1 billion and beg them to let us rejoin the EU in all but name. The man is an extraordinary example of the globalist bureaucrat.

Tony Blair’s institute has proposed a dystopian scheme to use your private NHS health data to slash state pensions, they want to replace the triple lock with a creepy “Lifespan Fund” where payouts are personalised based on your medical records and predicted life expectancy, the plan means healthier people who live longer would get smaller monthly amounts so everyone only gets roughly 20 years’ worth of pension no matter what, it would involve mandatory health checks and a government app basically playing Grim Reaper with your retirement savings, critics have slammed it as a shocking privacy nightmare and dangerous overreach that punishes people for staying healthy, this is vintage Blair – the same man who enjoys a lavish taxpayer-funded pension himself now wants to lecture and control ordinary Brits who paid in all their lives,

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

🇬🇧 Families on a UK beach were having a lovely afternoon by the sea… That is until a group of young men showed up with fireworks and yelled “Allahu Akbar.” Are you feeling culturally enriched yet, Britain?

So the frigate HMS Iron Duke is to be retired after a £105 million refit because there is no money left to keep her going. Absolutely pathetic. Leaves the navy with 5 frigates only... Labour and the Tories have criminally weakened our defences.😡

🚨 EXPOSED: French filmmaker Thomas Grandrémy (@thomas_grandremy / @TGrandremy) caught red-handed coaching illegal migrants on a French beach exactly how to break into Britain. “In the middle of the sea, you call 999… and the UK rescue will come.” This isn’t “journalism.” This isn’t “documenting the crisis.” This is active assistance and advice on how to illegally enter the UK using our own lifeboats as a taxi service. His film Tomorrow UK Inch’Allah (yes, “God willing” openly nodding to the reality of who’s crossing) follows migrants in life vests on the French coast for over a year. Now he’s standing there telling them the playbook live on camera. Every time they call 999, British taxpayers pay for Border Force, RNLI, hotels, housing, and processing. Lives are risked in the Channel. Smugglers laugh all the way to the bank. This isn’t solidarity, it’s facilitating illegal immigration while our borders collapse. Thomas Grandrémy should be investigated and held accountable. No more pretending this is just “telling stories.” Enough. Secure the borders. Stop the boats. Deport the illegals. Share this video far and wide. #StopTheBoats #ChannelCrisis #IllegalImmigration #TomorrowUKInchAllah

She really got her nails done… and said “I’m good” 😭 Walks out of the nail salon without paying, strolls straight into a pizza place like nothing happened… while the nail tech is FOLLOWING her asking to be paid… and she just ignores her and orders food 💀 At that point it’s not confusion… it’s entitlement. Nail salons (and hair salons too) need to start getting paid up front. Period. These workers aren’t running a charity—they’re providing a service. Imagine doing your job and someone just walks off like your time means nothing. Actions have consequences. Would you pay upfront if it meant stopping this nonsense? 👀 I would!

While the average pint in central London now costs £7 and some bars are now charging £10 or more for draught or bottled beer….there is one place in central London where the drinks prices are significantly lower because of taxpayer funded subsidised prices - the House of Commons.

Jeremy Clarkson’s column on Zack Polanski in The Sun is pure gold! 😅😂 He said: "I do wish people would stop touting Zack Polanski as a serious contender in the next election. He isn’t. My donkey is more likely to get elected." He then brings attention to the awkward way in which Polanski was seen running through conference hall: "The man isn’t even built properly - a point that becomes clear if you watch that social media gif of him running through a conference hall. Tom Cruise he is not. It’s like his arms are where his legs should be and vice versa and as a result, he has the stupidest running style I’ve ever seen." Clarkson then comments on Polanski's desperate attempt to try a point the finger at the methods police officers used to apprehend the Golders Green terrorist: "And then there’s what he says. This week, he castigated those policemen who tackled the knife-wielding thug in London, saying he’d seen them 'repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head'," Finally closing with: "And he thinks that normal people with fully formed adult brains will vote for him. Not a chance," Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure and speaks with common sense. Neither of those qualities will ever be attributed to Zack Polanski. Well done Jezza! 💯👏

Does anyone know Liam McLoughlin from Belfast? I sent him £210 for 3 x Liverpool tickets which never materialised, I’ve since been told he’s ripped a lot of people off and owes thousands. Steer clear! Just putting it out there so people are aware. Calls himself “king daddy” 😂

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.
