@donaldtusk Dear Mr Tusk, when you need help, Starmer will be looking in the opposite direction. If you're lucky, he may send a strongly worded email when the fighting is over.

I may not agree with Green voters, but deliberately placing deportation centres in areas that vote against you as political punishment is vindictive and counterproductive. You don’t win people over by threatening them. It’ll also put people in serious danger.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

'It is very good for Ukraine. It is very good for the UK... and it is very good for UK-EU relations.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer discusses talks between European leaders in Armenia, as the Government announces it will hold talks to join the EU's £78 billion loan for Ukraine.

The biggest threat to U.K. at the moment is not immigrants, terrorists, Muslims, black & brown people. It is Farage & his mindless acolytes.

Zack Polanski saw five kicks to a tasered man's head. Instead of performing outrage for cameras, he's doing the harder thing: taking it to the Met Commissioner directly. Social media wants spectacle. Zack wants accountability. That's not weakness — that's maturity. #bbclaurak

Three men against a man face down on the ground with his arms trapped under his body. So they decided to kick his head in and call it self defence . Just like Gaza.

Rumours suggest Angela Rayner could take over from Rachel Reeves as Chancellor. She left Avondale High School in Stockport at 16, pregnant and with no qualifications. She later studied part-time at Stockport College, where she learned British Sign Language and gained an NVQ Level 2 in social care. She never went to university. She has no financial services experience.

Ok I'll bite. British culture is diverse. But you know it when you see it. It's pub culture. It's Wimbledon. It's airshows and steam rallies on a Summer day's. It's boating on the Thames. It's fish and chips on the harbour. It's eighties nights and rock clubs. It's garden fetes and village galas. It's bingo halls and snooker clubs. It's 40's revival weekends. It may be subjective but it's all around you if you open your eyes. It struck me recently that a lot of British culture is based around nostalgia, but it's more than that. We come together to enjoy our common heritage, marvel at our accomplishments and remember our fallen. I tend not to see minorities at airshows, battle reenactments and steam rallies because minorities aren't meaningfully part of that story. I see sons with elderly fathers, and fathers with young sons, passing on knowledge about our country. But I'm always surprised to see a south Asian or an African. They're just not interested. But then I wouldn't expect to see minorities at such events because they're not exposed to it. Our schools would rather teach black history than English history. It teaches our young people that our history is something to be ashamed of - and something to be contextualised, scorned and dismantled. But then so many minorities have no interest in integrating at all. I walk through Bradford and see women in burkas and men in pyjamas who can barely speak English and prefer not to - who go to places of worship to hear sermons in another language. They're nothing to do with me. Pakistanis have been on Bradford for more than fifty years, and whatever assimilation process that might have occurred appears to be in reverse. They don't dress like us, don't speak like us, don't interact with us and don't participate. They don't participate in our local politics. They colonise it. They will turn out in their hundreds in solidarity with Palestinians, and bring their tribal bickering over Kashmir to our streets. Contrast that with Eastern Europeans who have effortlessly integrated, and are now part of us. Part of our social fabric. They come to our rock clubs and raves, they drink in our pubs, they assimilate into our politics. They're our friends and family now. They're compatible because their places of origin share similar foundational values. Democracies striving for equality. But what has Pakistani/African/Arab culture contributed to British life? Honour killings, acid attacks, grooming gangs, deep rooted misogyny, suicide bombs, cousin marrying, FGM, forced marriage etc. And for what? They weren't needed or wanted. And now we have parallel cultures that don't interact, and lawless cities that no longer look or feel British in any meaningful sense. Though it's not entirely the fault of minority groups that they don't integrate. It's a two way thing and it's human nature to seek out the familiar. Most of us don't really want anything to do with your culture and we'd prefer it if y'all weren't here - even if we keep that sentiment to ourselves. It's not a racial thing. It's not personal. Xenophobia = evolutionary instinct + experience. Y'all just don't fit here, spend most of the time denigrating and complaining, and seem intent on turning our country into the sort of corrupt basketcase slums you hail from. So you're not really welcome. It might be different if we could see any kind of effort to integrate and if we felt like you appreciated being British as much as we do, but when we see Muslims taking to the streets to stand with Hamas and call for Jihad, how can we not conclude we have an enemy in our midst? Ultimately a functioning country is about kinship. The more alien cultures we import, the more diluted our commonality - and the more fragmented we become, to the point where we're just a rabble of competing tribes, where there's no sense of obligation to each other. A failed state basically. Those who won't integrate need to be gone.
Bushra Shaikh@Bushra1Shaikh

Genuinely I ask, what is British culture? Born in the UK and lived here for 40 years and yet we are constantly told 'we're not integrating'. Not Integrating into what culture exactly?

Don’t particularly feel sorry for any business owner whose enterprise is only viable because they pay poverty wages.
Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@SophieP25397 Starmer is clinging on. When his pathetic back benchers realise the game is up, somebody may well throw him out of the proverbial window. I'm looking forward to the results.

Tony Blair has urged scrapping the ‘unaffordable’ pensions triple lock that protects millions of pensioners, his own think tank claims the system is outdated and too rigid for modern life with costs exploding by £85 billion a year by 2070, the former PM’s report demands it ends after the next election and be replaced by a new ‘lifespan fund’ that forces people to build their own entitlement through work, Blair’s director Tom Smith said Britain’s state pension was built for a different era and we can’t keep pouring money into a system that is increasingly unaffordable, pensioners facing rising bills are now told to accept less while the multi-millionaire ex-leader lectures them on restraint, Thoughts?
