@RobertJenrick When you say "Reform UK appears to be the only party that understands this", you know that's not true.

We were reminded once again this week that there are plenty of people in our country who despise us. We don’t need more thoughts and prayers. We need deportations. A lot of them. In the last fortnight alone an Afghan gang, masterminded by an asylum seeker was estimated to be behind the theft of 62,000 phones. A Nigerian migrant who raped a teenager after using human rights law to dodge deportation for a previous “sexually motivated” attack was jailed for 17 years. And three asylum seekers from Iran and Egypt, living in a taxpayer-funded hotel, were found guilty of raping a woman on Brighton beach. Then, on Wednesday, a Somali-born man is suspected of having attacked Jews in Golders Green. It followed the fire-bombing of an ambulance last month in an attack claimed by an Iranian-linked group, Ashab al Yamin. After this latest assault on our people, we don’t need hollow statements from former prime ministers who waved in deranged and dangerous people. Or warnings about “turning inwards” from others when our open borders have proved deadly. We need to stop allowing random people from cultures that hate us to flood into our country and stay here. And we need those people who hate us to leave. Voluntarily, ideally. Or forcibly deported by the Government if necessary. It’s that simple. We cannot keep living alongside people who want to harm us and leech off our generosity. There are far too many people who use the UK as a playground for their criminality and as a platform to exact revenge for their perceived grievances. In many cases they have brought with them a disdain for our country and its history, medieval attitudes towards women, and a hatred of Jews that will take generations to shift. Reform UK appears to be the only party that understands this. Zia Yusuf has said that if the Golders Green attacker is found guilty, he would use the Home Secretary’s power under the British Nationality Act 1981 to strip him of his citizenship and deport him from our shores. Just like we will do with the parents of Axel Rudakabanu, who were complicit in the Southport killings.  And as Nigel said this week, a Reform Government will stop the unvetted men in small boats in months. Those here illegally will be deported. End of. Instead of getting rid of the odious characters we have become all too familiar with, this Government is intent on doing the opposite. The Office for National Statistics forecasts that by 2034 nearly 7.2 million people will move here from overseas. It would be the definition of insanity to double down on the disastrous three decades of mass migration which have left us all poorer and less safe. I do not think our country – our traditions, mores, and way of life – could survive another surge of people in such a short period. We are at a crossroads. We cannot keep living like this. Parents, fearful of taking their kids to school past illegal migrant hotels. Women, worried about the rape gangs that continue to exist to this day. And British Jews, looking over their shoulders as they go about their lives, and planning to leave. We either resign ourselves to perpetual insecurity, or we grow a backbone. What is required is tough. Some will scream it’s illiberal. So be it. The extreme liberalism we currently have is failing spectacularly. The sad truth is we are condemning our country to decades of this hell. To save it, we have no choice but to be uncompromising.

@StephHarrisonUK @RestoreBritain_ Gorgeous dog...supervising.

@SoVeryBritish "Private podcast" made me laugh but then I became irritated at the self indulgence of the voicenoter. So now I'm left somewhat disgruntled.

A recent report says that voice notes are huge across the world… apart from in Britain. Here’s my two cents (or pennies) on why I dislike voice notes: 1. I don’t want to have to put in earphones or find a quiet place when out and about, just for you to tell me “yes” or “no” about whether you’re free for a cup of tea next Wednesday. 2. While I’m watching telly, I want to be able to glance down at my phone and get the information I need in text form. I don’t want to have to turn the telly off and listen to your private podcast that’s just for me. 3. I don’t want to wade through three minutes of waffle and chit-chat I never asked for when a thumbs-up emoji will do. 4. It makes me feel like you expect a voice note back - and I’m not doing that. 5. I have no interest in tangents about how you’ve just seen an interesting pigeon on the pavement. I asked if you could give me a lift to the station, and 12 minutes in you’re talking about a pigeon and I’ve missed my train. 6. The convenience is all yours. It’s quick to send a voice note, but much slower for me to consume it. It’s bad manners. I think that about covers it. Of course, if voice notes are a more accessible option for the sender (due to difficulty typing, vision impairment, language barriers, etc.), that’s completely understandable - a different kettle of fish! But if you just like waffling, I’d rather not be the waffle sounding board. (Really I think I’m just jealous of people who are able to talk coherently for minutes at a time).

@bo66ie29 Theres some wonderful English eccentricity there where the local ducks have their own little house and the locals take care of them.

The pretty village of Shere, located in the Surrey Hills.

@ArchRose90 Never heard of her before last week but she recognises Westminster for the shithole it is.

NI Sorcha Eastwood has tore into Starmer’s double standards once again: “Peter Mandelson wouldn't have survived the vetting for a kids football club and rightly so. And yet we are expected to believe from those benches that it's nothing to see here.” She didn’t hold back! 🔥

Thank you to everyone who has signed the "Support the Ceramics Industry" petition❤️ We're up to 62,000 signatures so far. We need 100,000 for the matter to be considered for debate in Parliament. Help to reach this target and make a difference here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7647…

@trussliz @WillKingston That was the last time I felt optimistic about business.

@WillKingston Ahem

The last PM with a considered vision was Brown. Before that, Blair. And the last PM with a good vision was Thatcher. The age of bureaucratic, wet, spineless nothings must end.

@LBFlyawayhome Huge nostalgia hit.

@bo66ie29 Stunning.

England is so beautiful.

I’ve been in business for a long time and I can tell you now Denby didn’t go bankrupt because of energy costs. If your arsed in understanding then here goes. Danny made products here! A British manufacturer that tried to produce mid-market goods in one of the most expensive regulatory and labour environments in the world. Energy costs are part of a much bigger problem including ▪️Rising wages and employment costs ▪️Environmental and waste compliance burdens ▪️tax and regulatory framework that punishes domestic production And at the same time, they were competing against imports from countries with, much lower labour costs, Far less regulation and lower production costs. These tend to be lower cost items imported in huge bulk by wholesalers and supermarkets. No IP, nothing special or protectable except tradition and heritage and consumers are fickle beings. So Denny’s products became structurally uncompetitive and then demand fell. Consumers under pressure dont buy £60–£100 heritage tableware, they buy cheaper alternatives. The final blow was the shrinking high street, where department stores used to sit because Denby was built for a retail model that no longer exists, department stores offered physical visibility and brand presence. That’s gone and online retail rewards price, not heritage. So what you get is the perfect storm of rising costs, a no growth business plan, falling sales and falling margins. No investor would bother. And this isn’t just a Denby problem. It’s what happens when you try to manufacture in Britain while competing in a globalised market without the cost base to survive in the middle ground. And it’s why other ceramics companies have failed and why low and mid price manufacturers in the UK cannot and will not survive. Energy didn’t kill Denby … The system did.

@Keir_Starmer Your tweets suck the joy out of everything they discuss.

St George’s flag stands for unity over hatred and decency over division. Those are the values I will always fight for. Some try to hijack our flag to spread hate, I reject their plastic patriotism. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@RestorerPatriot Unenforceable, unless... oh digital id.

A lifetime smoking ban based upon birth year is one of the most stupid policies ever. Imagine your friend born a day before you happens to be able to purchase cigarettes whereas you cannot ever buy them? Makes no flipping sense, especially when the people affected become fully grown adults.

@ronin21btc Nicely done sir.

Can we just normalise using both lanes

@bo66ie29 Possibly the only good thing about modern life in comparison is access to huge mugs.

I just love this old couple having their cup of tea from a cup and saucer by the seaside in 1955. I wonder who they were and if they were having a lovely day. Happy National Tea Day! ☕️

@WarriorSpeech28 @RestoreBritain_ @reformparty_uk It would help if Reform had a procedure for resigning, seeing as emailing them doesn't work.

He’s turned on his base, they will come to @RestoreBritain_ thousands have already but I stand by my claim. We will have more members than @reformparty_uk in one year.

Wow, in less than 24 hours, we reached over 10,000 signatures - thank you ❤️ We need 100,000 for the matter to be considered for debate in Parliament. This could make a huge difference for the UK ceramics industry. Please help by signing & sharing: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7647…

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister” Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM. He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

🚨 BREAKING: Starmer left trapped inside No. 10 for several hours after no one told him he needs to open the door to leave. "It's staggering. No one told me the operating procedure for the front door. Unforgivable. I've lost confidence in my team and they will have to resign".
