Never let anyone have tax raising powers.

As socialism never works, the left always follows the same path. Always, no exceptions. At which stage of the path is your country?

Windmills don't turn any faster even if the government owns them.

Hi Gary, sorry to keep ratioing you, and I suspect I will do it again. I only had to listen to 29 seconds to put this together because you revealed yourself by calling Reform the "far-right party". Perhaps after 29 seconds there is some sense in there, maybe I'll come back to it, anyway.... Let me first say, I am not a huge fan of Reform, but I am also not a fan of branding everything you dislike as far-right. Far-right politics, historically, means authoritarianism, racial supremacy, political violence, suppression of opposition and/or rejection of democracy itself. Agreed? So Reform then, well they support elections, free speech, lower taxes, border control and reducing the size of the state. You can dislike those ideas all you want, but they are mainstream positions held by millions of voters across democratic countries. Ironically Gary, or perhaps not, but parts of the modern far-left openly flirt with some of what you have branded: - Censorship and deplatforming - Punishing dissent - Political intimidation - Opponents as morally illegitimate (what you are doing here lad) - Expanding state control You can see this in support for speech laws, attempts to silence academics and journalists, aggressive cancellation campaigns and the belief that certain views should be excluded from public debate entirely. Please stop this stunted intellectual crusade, it is embarrassing. We know the agenda, you just want to expand the state, give more control to incompetency and loot the voters. Init.

@amwilson_opera King of the North Midlands

Getting sick of hearing about Andy Burnham already. "King of the North", indeed. I don't think anyone thinks that in York, or Carlisle, or Newcastle.

@joshsimonsmp @AndyBurnhamGM Nothing is free!

Always good to see Bee Network buses in the background. I heard someone brought them under public control, capped fares at £2, and got free travel for pensioners anytime. Oh yes. @AndyBurnhamGM.

I so hope he loses this

@thesundaysport I think this just sums Europe up at the moment what a time to be alive.

I didn't watch the European Singing Competition last night but I've just read the lyrics for Romania's entry. Fucking hell.

Just read Wes’s letter

I have tabled the following amendment to the King’s Speech to defend two foundational liberties: the right to trial by jury & the right to access public services without digital ID. Ancient safeguards against arbitrary power must not be surrendered without mandate or consent.

HMRC are not normally so forgiving, maybe they have turned over a new leaf.

"Midazolam is used as a relaxant to intubate people before an operation, but that's really, really low doses. Anybody elderly should never be given more than half a milligram, one milligram max of Midazolam. Under NG163 that [Matt] Hancock bought in as a treatment for Covid, they said start off with two and a half milligrams and build up from there. And normally 14 milligrams will kill somebody and they will die breathless. It's a respiratory suppressant. When they died breathless, you can put COVID on their death certificate because their respiration got slower and slower and slower until it stopped. And... because they've got COVID on their death certificate, there was no autopsy and the bodies were cremated within 24 hours. So the evidence was all removed... It's a crime that was designed to be perfect. But unfortunately, we've got the Derek Dimmock [Medical] Inquest and we're getting to the truth, and the truth is unpalatable for the establishment. So they're going to suppress it. – Andrew Bridgen 🇬🇧 @ABridgen
