Viktor Orban didn’t cancel any elections and never arrested people for social media posts. He also stepped down after his election loss and is partaking in a peaceful transfer of power. But, don’t forget, he was a dictator. Keir Starmer attempted to cancel about 1,000 local council elections next month and arrests about 12,000 people a year for social media posts. He also refused to let a rival run for a seat in a by-election because he was worried it would be a threat to his leadership. But, don’t forget, he’s a democratic leader.

@RupertLowe10 You can keep up these sound bites for your club members all you want, but you know as the millions of others know, there will never be a Restore Government. After the general election, you’ll be lucky to be voted the governor of your local primary school

A Restore Britain Government would back British drivers. How? Raise the speed limit on motorways to 80mph. Remove all 20mph zones, other than those outside schools or areas with vulnerable individuals. Our current 70 mph speed limit was implemented decades ago, for a completely different type of car with completely different capabilities - far lower safety standards, poorer braking, and less advanced handling. It is unnecessarily slow, plenty of other countries sensibly allow for more. 80mph is faster and fair, and Restore Britain would do the unthinkable - trust people to get on with their lives without such overbearing state interference. It boosts business, backs drivers and gets Britain moving. Support Restore Britain to make it 80.

@SeddSezz @Melissag0ec Both Charles and Starmer will go down as traitors of the British people

🚨KING CHARLES TO ANNOUNCE FRESH EU LEGISLATION NEXT MONTH The King will include legislation to bring the UK under new EU single market rules in his annual King's Speech. This comes as Starmer will leave MPs with NO say on the UK being dragged back under the EU's orbit. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY? WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY IN NAME ONLY!

@Keir_Starmer @jimmytwhu You’re getting a load of countries together to do fuck all. Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 You’re a useless fuckwit, end of

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures. The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation. This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

🤦The 50p tax rate was supposed to raise £2.7bn a year. It raised £1bn. The Energy Profits Levy was forecast at £41.6bn. It raised £17.4bn. The non-dom abolition was meant to raise £34bn. It may raise nothing. 📉This is not bad luck. It is a pattern.

🔥Great article by FFF Director @harryricher96 on 20 years of Treasury Budget forecasts, and 20 years of getting it wrong. 👇"The Treasury invents a number. The Chancellor reads it out. The taxpayer pays when it turns out to be fiction." open.substack.com/pub/fightingfo…

@johnkonrad He’s already made the choice of the commies

Ok Starmer, except you’ve only got 3 options: 1.crawl back to the EU 2.join Carney in trading the “special relationship” with America for one with China 3.keep the U.S. happy That’s it. And the EU doesn’t want you back, so it’s USA or the commies.

@tomhfh YouGov can’t be explained by any rational person

Does Restore's 4% explain YouGov's 24% for Reform? Could Reform have lost 4% to Restore? Huge implications in tightly marginal seats Restore stands in.

@DanielCreminGB Definitely

Something tells me Miriam will be happily claiming her full state pension on top of her gold plated Parliamentary pension when the time comes.

@JChimirie66677 @GlosterEd @ElginWhites2022 @annaroseridgway And, if I may add, contributions for one of the smallest pensions in Europe.

John, exactly right and the National Insurance point is the one that never gets made loudly enough. National Insurance contributions were not a tax in the conventional sense. They were presented explicitly as a social insurance premium, paid over a working lifetime in exchange for specific guarantees including the state pension. Successive governments chose to treat the fund as general revenue rather than ring fencing it as the contributory scheme it was sold as. That is not the fault of the people who paid in. It is a decades long failure of political honesty that is now being presented as a demographic problem requiring the contributors to accept less than they were promised. The attack on pensioners as a class is also worth naming for what it is. It is considerably easier politically to turn generations against each other than to have an honest conversation about where the money actually went, which procurement contracts were wasted, which vanity projects consumed billions, which successive governments spent tomorrow's money today and called it investment. Anna's figures are real. The demographic pressure is real. But the solution to a system that was mismanaged for fifty years is not to tell the people who paid into it that the contract no longer applies. It is to be honest about the mismanagement, reform the system going forward and honour the obligations already made. Tiresome is the right word. And it will get more tiresome before it gets better.

25% of pensioners are millionaires. 55% of welfare spending goes on pensioners. Why don’t we: 1) means test the state pension, millionaires don’t need benefits. 2) increase the amount we give to the pensioners who need it the most. 3) stop the unsustainable triple lock.

With respect, the people saying they paid in for thirty five years and are entitled to the result are not muddying the debate. They are describing their lived experience of a system that was explicitly sold to them as contributory. You can check your National Insurance record online, see exactly how many qualifying years you have and be told precisely what state pension you will receive as a result. That is not a misunderstanding of the system. That is the system working exactly as it was designed and communicated. Telling people that their understanding of what they paid into is wrong because the legislative definition says otherwise is not clarifying the debate. It is asking them to accept a framing that undermines their legitimate expectation in order to make the political argument tidier. On the triple lock. Agreed it needs reform and indexing to inflation is a reasonable starting point for that conversation. But that argument is considerably stronger when it is made without first telling contributors that their sense of entitlement is a lunatic position. They are entitled. The letter from HMRC confirming their qualifying years and projected pension says so. The debate about affordability and reform does not require us to pretend otherwise.

@miriam_cates Never once have I whinged about paying taxes or NI for the generations that came before me. Grafted for the last 41yrs. Your generation are selfish. I bet you don’t turn down your MP pension just like you didn’t turn down the rest of the freebies

“Reform’s commitment to keep the triple lock is the final nail in the coffin for the hope of pension reform from the Right. Britain’s young people are now condemned to pay through the nose for the retirement of the wealthiest generation in history.” ✍️👇 conservativehome.com/2026/04/08/mir…

@furbabygirl Because schools are on holiday this week, no photo opportunity

Why is Keir Starmer going to the Gulf today? I thought it wasn’t our war? He’s been hiding behind his desk for the past few weeks- is he going to crawl out of the woodwork and try to present himself as some kind of peacekeeping hero now?

@roy_alenfield @MajorGowen_ Oh please. We’re not in the 1930’s now mate. I’m all for our culture and values being respected but please stop with the white washing shit.

@PaulNew90394591 @MajorGowen_ Because all western Christian cultures are being attacked by exactly the same ideology extolling tolerance at the same time replacing the native population. No White guys in the Nigerian parliament nor Indian nor government of Pakistan! We’re being replaced & you gladly helping!

What is going on with Reform "UK" 😂

@ReformUKSam @ClarkeyJ851 @reformparty_uk Political influence and unlawful surveillance, the culprits may have to step down and possibly serve time

Essex Police will investigate the COVERT camera installed in the @reformparty_uk group office. The Peeping Toms in Basildon Labour will be sitting rather nervous right now…

@roy_alenfield @MajorGowen_ How do you know these 2 candidates are not Christians and have accepted our countries culture? Because of the colour of their skin they must want to having a ‘slum life’

@PaulNew90394591 @MajorGowen_ Why does British culture ancestry not matter but everyone else’s does?

@BaconBantam @EssexPR Wow, just wow!!

@PaulNew90394591 @EssexPR You are comparing something planned which might be pulled against a war where there is no evidence like in Iraq that weapons of mass destruction exist, and that Trump and Israel said were destroyed lasy year anyhow. So are they lying then or are they lying now?
