@ZackPolanski We have 156 billionaires in the UK If you took away ALL their wealth it would fund benefits for 2 years That's it Hardly the basis for a sustainable fiscal policy I suggest you go learn some basic economics

He drugged a child. He filmed himself r-ping, slapping and choking her. He got a PATHETIC 12 YEARS - and will serve just 8. His Labour Mayor mother helped him hide his phone. "a character witness described her as an 'advocate for women's rights'. She'll serve just 14 months. Absolutely sickening sentencing.

Sergio and David have done it. The two dads, whose daughters Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Da Silva Aguiar were killed in the Southport attack alongside Bebe King, have finished the London marathon together - a race they say ‘brings out the best in humaity’ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In the spat between JK Rowling and Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s ex-spin doctor has been outgunned and outclassed – like every transvestite fanboy before him. The men who pick fights with JKR must have some sort of humiliation fetish, says Julie Burchill buff.ly/P4TYGHP

Today my brother teacher @EnochBurke went before a disciplinary appeal panel. He was suspended from his job and jailed after refusing to accept transgenderism. What took place today was shocking. ➡️ By law the panel is to be an “informal hearing”. ➡️ When he arrived he was confronted by a top Employment Barrister as well as a Solicitor from a major Dublin law firm. ➡️The lawyers were acting for the school. ➡️ The presence of lawyers at such an appeal is contrary to law and to Department of Education procedures for dealing with appeals. ➡️ Enoch objected to the presence of these lawyers. ➡️ The Chair of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel, Claire Callanan said to Mr Burke: “We may be wrong and you may be right but we are going ahead nonetheless.” ➡️ When Enoch continued to object, he was removed by prison guards. ➡️ When members of his family who were present objected, they were removed by police. ➡️ Enoch Burke was taken back in a prison van to Castlerea prison. This is an utterly appalling and unbelievable travesty of justice.

For Labour MPs hoping that Keir Starmer can be the fall guy for the local elections, take a long hard look around the cabinet table and ask yourself who would I trust to pet sit my dog? who would be my phone a friend? who would I go to for financial advice? And then look in the mirror and realise by some freak of nature the cabinet table sits within a sunshine bus and all the windows are crystal clear.

LEAK: Messages between Starmer and Mandelson the night before his appointment: 'You'll be brilliant in challenging circumstances… And after many years of our discussions, we get to work together side by side. I really look forward to that” Didn’t Starmer say they hadn’t spoken? Via @spectator

I honestly can't believe we are in a situation where Keir Starmer misled the house AGAIN. He said Olly Robbins said "No pressure existed whatsoever" But everyone knows that's another LIE. Watch for yourself. The man is a *compulsive liar*. He's a disgrace. GET HIM OUT!

What better way could there be of repudiating accusations of misogyny than recommending an episode where three men instead of two discuss which rights women should be fine giving up - without, of course, mentioning the words 'women's rights.'

The Man Nobody Is Talking About. His Name Is Sir Philip Barton. Buried inside Tuesday's committee testimony, beneath the headlines about constant pressure, bullying and secret job searches, is the detail that may prove the most consequential of this entire affair. It concerns not Olly Robbins, not Morgan McSweeney, not even Keir Starmer. It concerns the man who was there before all of them. The man who said no. The man who then left his post eight months early. Sir Philip Barton was the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office when Peter Mandelson's appointment was announced in December 2024. He was, in other words, the most senior civil servant in the building at the precise moment the machinery of state was being directed to place a man with documented links to Russia and China into the most sensitive diplomatic posting in the Western alliance. What Robbins told the committee on Tuesday is this. Barton pushed back. When the Cabinet Office argued that vetting Mandelson was unnecessary, that a peer and Privy Councillor did not require developed vetting, Barton refused to accept it. He insisted that vetting was a requirement. He had to be, in Robbins's own words, very firm in person. He also voiced reservations about the appointment to Jonathan Powell, the National Security Adviser, reservations that were noted and not acted upon. He was worried, Robbins suggested, about exactly the same reputational risks that had been detailed to the Prime Minister before the appointment was announced. Then Sir Philip Barton left his post. Eight months before his tenure would otherwise have concluded. The question Richard Foord put to Robbins on Tuesday was the right one. Why did Barton's tenure end early? Robbins said he did not know. He suggested ministers may have felt it was time for a change. That answer is not an answer. It is the absence of one. Consider what the timeline now shows. A senior civil servant pushes back against the appointment, insists on vetting when the Cabinet Office wants to bypass it, raises reservations with the National Security Adviser, and departs eight months ahead of schedule. His replacement arrives to find the appointment already treated as a fait accompli, the vetting process under constant pressure from Downing Street, and the question of outcome entirely subordinate to the question of speed. If Barton was removed because he stood in the way of this appointment, then Robbins was not the first civil servant sacrificed to protect it. He was the second. And the question of who else was moved aside, overruled or silenced in the months between December 2024 and the moment the security services finally said no, becomes the most important question this affair has yet produced. Starmer sacked Robbins for following the rules. The Foreign Affairs Committee will now call Barton to give evidence. What he says will either confirm what the timeline already suggests or provide an alternative explanation that the evidence does not currently support. There is a pattern here that goes beyond process failure. Process failures are random. They point in different directions. What this affair has produced is a series of events that point consistently in one direction. Officials who comply are retained. Officials who push back depart. The security services are bypassed. The vetting is treated as an administrative inconvenience. And the one question nobody at the top of this government will answer is why this appointment, this man, this post, mattered so much that every obstacle was removed to make it happen. Barton apparently asked that question. He left eight months early. The country deserves to know why.

Is this it then? another three years of brylcreamed luncheon meat destroying the country because Labour is so full of gutless lanyards we have to be run by an ineffective psychopath?

Like he has done to millions of Brits, Keir Starmer has broken and destroyed a good, hardworking man, that man being Olly Robbins, all to cover up his own dirty, filthy, vile sleaze. Listen as Olly explains. What an utter bastard Keir Starmer really is.

Not one word?

This photo was taken from behind at Royal Holloway Freshers’ Fair. I stood with the British flag and Star of David - welcoming Jewish students into an atmosphere already filled with “End Israeli apartheid”, “Genocide supporters”, “Boycott Israel”. What you don’t see: from late September to January, two students subjected me and my Jewish friend to almost daily harassment - sometimes 10+ no-caller-ID calls in an hour. Vile antisemitic, homophobic and sexualised abuse: “you love Israeli dck”, “obsessed with Jewish dck”, “I’ll be antisemitic with my full chest”. We reported it. We have evidence - voice recordings etc. We know who they are. University: “We can only act when the police do something.” Police were told in November. I signed a statement in February. They said they were looking at arrests. Promised me a call on 5 April. Still nothing - it’s now 11th April. Contrast that with my one light-hearted “tea towel” reply to a keffiyeh. I was suspended the next day. Missed 7 weeks of my degree. Now facing potential hate crime charges with the file at the CPS. Next slide 👉 a keffiyeh. Two photos. Two completely different stories. Two tiers of justice. @SurreyPolice please act on the reports I made. This has gone on long enough. Everyone is watching. Free speech and equal protection can’t be optional in Britain. I will NOT be silenced. 🇬🇧🇮🇱 #TwoTierJustice #FreeSpeech #RoyalHolloway #twotierpolice

This is something everyone interested in energy should read - supplier CEOs giving evidence to the DESNZ Select Committee last autumn Selected highlights... Rachel Fletcher, Director of Regulation and Economics at Octopus Energy: “…if we continue on the path that we are on right now, in all likelihood electricity prices for a typical customer are going to be 20% higher in four or five years’ time than they are now. That is even if wholesale prices halve… The point is that the country as a whole at the moment is paying over £20 billion a year on its electricity bills for policy costs. The projections are that that is going to increase. That is one of the hundred pounds that will possibly be added to electricity bills on the current trajectory over the next four years. It is time that we got this burden under control,” Simone Rossi, CEO at EDF UK: “We can compare the cost to serve in France and the cost to serve in the UK. Per point of delivery, the cost to serve in the UK is about £100 per annum. In France, it is €45, which is half, more or less. It is actually less than half. This is not to do with the wholesale price or the gas marginal cost et cetera. It is driven by the fact that we have very complex regulation that has become stratified over the years…. ...we have in front of us a system where, even if the wholesale price were to halve, as she indicated, the bills will rise. There are two main drivers that we have in front of us in the growth of the bills. One is the demand reduction. We are building infrastructure as if there was more demand, but, in reality, there is less and less demand, so you have a bigger burden on smaller shoulders…” Chris Norbury, CEO at E.On UK: “if I look at the non-commodity costs—policy costs and network costs—certainly some of the modelling that we have suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where, if the wholesale price was zero, bills would still be the same as they are today because of the increase in those non-commodity costs,” Chris O’Shea, CEO at Centrica: “When you look at what consumers pay, consumers do not actually pay the wholesale gas price for anything backed by a CfD. When people talk about getting the wholesale gas price down, that is quite a red herring. "Consumers pay what the CfD price is. If the wholesale electricity price goes to a pound, the CfD will simply make that back up to the £75 per megawatt-hour or so that wind farms are getting at the moment,” committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence/1…

This is why people are furious. If a nurse misclaims work expenses, HMRC hammers them. If a small builder slips up, they threaten to bankrupt them. Angela Rayner underpays stamp duty, Labour showers her with an elite KC to fix it, and the whole thing is treated like some tax‑free “perk of the job”. This isn’t an accident; it’s how a crooked political class looks after its own while the rest of us are put through the grinder.

Why Socialism Doesn't Work, Explained for a 10-Year-Old. You're in a class of 30 students. One kid works like crazy and gets an 18 average. Another does nothing and gets a 4. The teacher decides it's unfair and gives everyone the class average: 11. The one who had 18 stops working. Why bother if it changes nothing? The one who had 4 keeps doing nothing. Why work if you're handed 11 for free? The next year the class average is 7. Then 5. Then 3. The teacher doesn't get it. He thinks the problem is that the students aren't supportive enough of each other. So he starts punishing those who don't put in enough effort. He monitors everyone. He decides who studies what. He bans switching classes. That's exactly what happened. Every time. In every country. No exceptions. USSR, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, East Germany. 40 attempts. Same result. Every time. Socialism punishes those who produce and rewards those who don't. Everyone ends up producing nothing. And when no one's producing anymore, the government uses force to make people work. It's not an accident. It's the design. - @brivael

So it turns out Keir Starmer oversaw the prosecution of a Grooming Gang VICTIM They did it for "TACTICAL REASONS" apparently Whatever that means He's vile beyond belief

Happy "Tax bands being frozen to pay for the feckless" Day to all who celebrate. A special shout out to farmers and business owners who are chipping in on death to allow migrants to have infinity children too.

The UK has crossed a line. Welfare spending: £333 billion Income tax revenue: £331 billion We’re now paying out more than we bring in from workers. This is unsustainable.
