@Spartacustardy @NJ_Timothy Goebbels would be so proud of you.

@NJ_Timothy Utter bullshit. Nobody I know is antisemitic. There's no crisis. It's all smoke mirrors from corrupt politicians and media. All to counter criticism of Israel's war crimes. Any Friend of Israel is a friend of child murder and starvation. Who do you represent? Israel or Britain?

The conversation in Jewish families is, as Trevor Phillips said this morning, “who among our friends would save us?” We are in an undeniable crisis of antisemitism, and many are asking whether they need to leave Britain. Many have already done so. This is heartbreaking, but the time for weak words is over. We need to be unsparingly honest about what is happening, and what we can do about it. Antisemitism is an ancient disease, and there is no point pretending it does not come from several sources. We saw the surge in antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. It has been partly purged, but there are some - like Naz Shah - on the Labour benches who have made antisemitic statements in the past. We saw in the Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal that Labour are up to their necks in corruption and communalism in places like the West Midlands. Starmer and Mahmood got away with this - but they knew the police and council had worked together to ban the Israeli fans. They didn’t intervene to stop it because they didn’t see the problem. But the scandal happened because the authorities took the side of Islamists over Jews. Now we see the surge of the Greens - a party absolutely riven with sectarianism and antisemitic candidates and activists. And on the online right, we’re starting to see some of the antisemitic language we’ve seen emerge in the recent years in America. It’s not at all of the same scale - but that could change and it would be wrong to ignore it. Above all though - and this is where too many find it difficult to tell the truth - we have an undoubted antisemitism problem among the Muslim population. Polls show among British Muslims: - Around half say “Jews have too much power over UK government policy.” - Four in ten say the same for the media and the financial industry. - Only one in four believe Hamas committed rape and murder on 7 October. - Only one in four believes Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. - Around half feel more sympathy with Hamas than Israel. When people ask why Britain - for so long previously a welcoming place for Jews - suddenly has such a problem, this is obviously the most significant change. The official Muslim population here has doubled from 1.6 million in 2001 to over four million today. Some studies suggest seventeen per cent of our population will be Muslim by 2050. Only around half of Muslims in Britain today were born here. And the countries from which Muslim immigrants are coming often have entrenched antisemitic cultures. Pakistan, Somalia, the Middle East. We are importing hatred that should never be welcome here. We are faced with a choice between keeping our Jewish citizens and receiving more and more people from these places. The choice we should make ought to be obvious. We should deport any foreigner who espouses this hatred. We should show zero tolerance to any British nationals who incites hatred and violence. We have to clamp down on the hate marches, and lock up those who are guilty of public order offences and incitement - including anybody who calls to “globalise the intifada” and chants “death to the IDF.” Above all, we have to stop importing hatred and extremism and antisemitism from countries where we know these things are rife. I waited a few days after the Golders Green attack before commenting because I wanted to see what the reaction would be. Unfortunately it was exactly as anticipated: weak words, no action, promises to build higher walls around our Jewish citizens. But I am not willing to sit here and watch as my friends discuss with their loved ones whether they should give up on Britain and emigrate. As a country, we have a choice to make - and my choice is to stand unequivocally with Britain’s Jews.

@DistinctbyMIM @ElectionMapsUK @techneUK The reason why they have been getting such media attention is precisely because of this growth.

@ElSpeedicut @ElectionMapsUK @techneUK But they’ve had the entire media parroting them ad nauseam for the past few years. That’s not remarkable at all

@JackChurch0 @Muskovite2 @ElectionMapsUK @techneUK Right you are Jack. Suitably bookmarked.

@Muskovite2 @ElSpeedicut @ElectionMapsUK @techneUK Thick as mince. By next year Britain will be at least the second biggest political party in this country if not the most. Restore will win the next election. Mark my words and bookmark this post.

Tom Hayes is a scumbag Labour are rotten.

@Matt247821 @MBrambleEsq @LukeTryl What on earth do you think happens in Europe and Scandinavia? None of these have our failing NHS model with better outcomes for all.

@MBrambleEsq @LukeTryl People like me with pre-existing conditions won’t get insurance. That’s not hyperbole, it’s literally the end of my life. No healthcare, no treatment = dead

🆕 Our latest MRP for the Sunday Times estimates Reform UK would be just a seat shy of a majority and far above any other party but for the first time down on a previous MRP estimate. The Greens achieve their highest score we’ve recorded on 22 seats

@JordanStan53135 @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov I am not trying to change your mind. Your vote is your affair. Just pointing out reality based on our brutal electoral system to start-up parties. The chances are you and a good deal of other Restore supporters are destined to be very disappointed.

@ElSpeedicut @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov Just FYI, I believe in Restore and will be voting with them in mind come 2029. Don't waste your time trying to change my mind.

@tab3lecover @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov Yep. That should do it.

@ElSpeedicut @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov Will never happen. We'd rather vote Green than Reform.

@tab3lecover @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov I think we can safely say that Reforms decline over recent months has been due to Restore. When those supporting Restore realise that 4% is prob the peak we could well see some of those drifting back tor Reform.

@ElectionMapsUK @YouGov Restore are not on 4% that is establishment lies. We were on 8% last week. More like 20-25% now. Reform doing everything to hide our true numbers. This is why Restorers will never vote Reform, even prefer the Greens winning it than Nige.

@xenocosmography Lowe publicly criticised Farage in the media triggering his dismissal. There is a cardinal rule within Reform that any disagreements are kept behind closed doors. They know that scrutiny of them is off the charts and anybody who provides opposition ammo is not welcome.

Basically based Reform UK supporters (the vast majority) need to ask themselves what they think was really going on when Rupert Lowe was ejected from their party in the most devious -- and actually criminal -- way possible. Be honest with yourselves, you owe yourselves that.

@DouglasCarswell Poor procurement but in their wisdom successive Govts have included nuclear deterrence, pensions and security services to inflate the figs.

🇬🇧UK Military Spend ████████████████████ $82B 🇺🇸US Marine Corp Military Spend █████████████ $57B So, how much bang for that buck? UK vs USMC - Front-Line Deployable Personnel UK: ~20-30k USMC: ~172k Tanks UK: ~20-60 USMC: 0 Ships UK: ~10-15 USMC: 14-18 Navy amphibs Aircraft UK: 400-500 USMC: ~1,100 Why does UK defence spending buy so little?

@stubedobedoo @Sallo_UK @ZiaYusufUK There have been plenty of studies that have shown the opposite. I have worked in both public and private sectors. There is a reason why public sector have been consistently been behind private!

@ElSpeedicut @Sallo_UK @ZiaYusufUK Nope. Plenty of studies done in the years since COVID have shown WFH is equally, if not more, productive. Public sector productivity has always been behind private sector, that isn't to do with WFH.

Civil servants are demanding to not have to go into the office because of fuel prices. If they try these stunts under a Reform government they can spend all the time they want at home. Unpaid. Forever.

@stubedobedoo @Sallo_UK @ZiaYusufUK Public sector productivity is woeful. If it can be shown that you will be just as effective working from home then do be it. Evidence suggests otherwise in the majority of cases.

@ElSpeedicut @Sallo_UK @ZiaYusufUK If you spend all day working on a computer, you can do it from home. If you choose to work in a profession where you have to be on-site or in-person then you can't. It really is pretty simple.

@Cocopoppers123 @carpbedlam @LukeTryl I agree. In fact I agree with pretty much everything he has said. The problem is he is heading down a cul-de-sac which will end with a great deal of disappointment. Our electoral system is cruel to start-ups and the rise of Reform is a once in 100 year event.

@ElSpeedicut @carpbedlam @LukeTryl He's very good at being patriotic , you mean. And saying the things we have been waiting to hear for years

Reform bounce back to 30% in our latest voting intention, 9pts ahead of the Conservatives who are just ahead of Labour. ➡️ REF UK 30% (+3) 🌳 CON 21% (+1) 🌹 LAB 19% (nc) 🌍 GREEN 12% (nc) 🔶 LIB DEM 11% (-3) ❓OTH 4% (nc) 🟡 SNP 2% (-1) N = 2,003 | 28-30/3| Change w 25/03

@RWillmore86339 @LukeTryl Or that 3% have gone to a mix of Labour and Cons with a similar number going from those parties to Reform.

@LukeTryl This poll insinuates 3% have moved from lib dem to reform . I can't see that happening

@carpbedlam @LukeTryl Rupert Lowe is very good at promoting Rupert Lowe and peddling the delusion among his supporters that he could win the next GE.

@LukeTryl Rupert Lowe is the only real person. The rest are bought and paid for.. Someone prove me wrong.... I'll wait....

@Sallo_UK @ZiaYusufUK So why should civil servants get to stay at home to save on fuel costs when the majority of workers have no such option? What gives them that privilege?

@ZiaYusufUK People asking not to burn half their wage on commuting isn’t a stunt it’s basic maths. Try it sometime.

@RobJohnsto37860 @afneil Absolutely. They are ships for policing not warfighting.

@afneil Andrew if you are talking about interdicting and seizing Dark Fleet tankers … an OPV is more than capable of doing that! Sending a Frigate is overkill esp if the interdiction takes place in waters that are not going to face other Warships!

Offshore patrol vessels are not warships. The original plan to replace aging Type-23s with 13 fully-fledged Type-26s has been abandoned. Instead 8 Type-26 and 5 cheaper, less powerful Type-31. First Type-26 not til 2028 at earliest, Type-31s not til early in next decade.

@RushtonMalc @iainrae68 @afneil @SimonHu86752739 Dauntless is not operational. The only other operational T45 is Duncan. You say other vessels are operational. The only other they have are OPV's (virtually unarmed), a handful of remaining minesweepers and what looks like unarmed pleasure craft. RN in a dire state.

@iainrae68 @afneil @SimonHu86752739 One in the north they said with Dauntless.
