@DrWolf666666 @AndrewRosindell How do you explain the MP's who were elected to the HOC as independents then? They were voted in without standing under any party flag and beat the main party candidates in their respective consituencies.

@SingSongSoup @AndrewRosindell You don't live in the real world, how many people here say " I'm voting for my MP who is Mr X". They don't, they vote for the party - he was elected as a tory and there should be a by-election not just deserting a failing party.

This evening, with sorrow, I have decided to resign from my position as an Opposition Shadow Minister and as a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party. Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs. However, the time has come to put country before party. The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me. Since entering Parliament in 2001, I have consistently argued, both from the backbenches and the frontbench, that the right of self-determination of the Chagossian people is sacrosanct, and that they alone should decide the future sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. Regrettably, these concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Both the government and the opposition have been complicit in the surrender of this sovereign British territory to a foreign power. This was made abundantly clear by the failure of Conservative peers to vote down the British Indian Ocean Territory Bill at third reading earlier this month, following direction from the top of the party. Sadly, I now believe that the Conservative Party is irreparably bound to the mistakes of previous governments and unwilling to take meaningful accountability for the poor decisions made over so many issues. Moreover, the views and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long. Following a conversation earlier this evening with Nigel Farage M.P., I have therefore agreed to join Reform U.K. as its seventh Member of Parliament. It is clear to me that Reform U.K. is now the only political movement that is genuinely willing to fight for the best interests of the United Kingdom. The views and concerns of the majority of the British people must no longer be sidelined. Our country has endured a generation of managed decline. Radical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain - one that firmly places the interests of the British people first.

@ESC_Aaron92 @peachypuk @AndrewRosindell How do you explain those MP's who were voted in as independents then? They are not aligned with any political party.

@peachypuk @SingSongSoup @AndrewRosindell The point is, you vote based on the party’s policies and you elect your mp based on that.

@craigycraigo84 @peachypuk @AndrewRosindell Oh dear, you missed the opportunity to call me a Nazi and a paedo. Give it another go, treat yourself.

@SingSongSoup @ESC_Aaron92 @peachypuk @AndrewRosindell Racism?

@PaulHowey1 @ESC_Aaron92 @AndrewRosindell Where have you seen anything which compels an MP to adhere to a party whip? And where do they promise to deliver a prticular manifesto. And should Keir Starmer resign for not adhering to his on manifesto pledge not to raise taxes on working people?

@SingSongSoup @ESC_Aaron92 @AndrewRosindell A bit dim there are we?..... you vote for a person who promises to deliver/pursue the manifesto they stand for election behind!! So unless AR stood on the Reform manifesto your point is unarguable

@DrWolf666666 @AndrewRosindell Just because 'most people' vote along party lines, doesn't bind the MP to adhere to the party whip. The constitution is clear; you vote for the person not the party.

@SingSongSoup @AndrewRosindell I'm in the Uk and you're talking bollocks. Most people vote for the party representative as it's the first thing they look for on the voting slip. The vast majority wouldn't know their MP if he/she walked past them on the street.

@ESC_Aaron92 @AndrewRosindell That was entirely your choice. You can vote on the basis of height or fashion if it takes your fancy. But if a by-election was necessary for non adherence to a political manifesto, well the entire Labour front bench have strayed from their manifesto not to raise taxes.

@SingSongSoup @AndrewRosindell We vote based on a manifesto.

@DrWolf666666 @AndrewRosindell In the UK we vote for an MP, not for a political party. There is nothing to bind any MP from following their party whip.

@AndrewRosindell loosely translated to jumping ship to save his own skin. No one should be allowed to defect from any party, you were elected as a tory, not reform.

@TorstenBell We have failed 6th form students in charge of our economy.

Huge news for South West Wales. The first Celtic Sea floating offshore wind project (Erebus) has been confirmed as part of a record breaking auction for wind power. This matters for jobs from Port Talbot right across to Pembrokeshire. gov.uk/government/new…

@alexwickham On the global stage Keir Starmer is a nobody.

NEW: Keir Starmer has called Trump “The Prime Minister reiterated his position on Greenland. He said that security in the High North is a priority for all NATO allies in order to protect Euro-Atlantic interests.    “He also said that applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is wrong.”

@LizWebsterSBF @Nigel_Farage And how many jobs has Keir Starmer just cost the UK, with his vacuous platitudes? A 10% tariff will hit UK exports to the USA hard and ruin businesses here in the UK. Just so that Keir Starmer could pretend he has worldwide influence. He does not.

You do agree with the US when it suits you, Nigel, right up until it costs British jobs. Greenland isn’t “vulnerable to malign influence”. It’s Danish territory, defended by allies, under international law. Dragging Diego Garcia into this is a distraction from the real issue: Trump is using tariffs as punishment to force allies to accept territorial coercion. That’s not sovereignty, it is submission.

We don’t always agree with the US government and in this case we certainly don’t. These tariffs will hurt us. If Greenland is vulnerable to malign influences, then have another look at Diego Garcia.

@darrengrimes Diversity of diseases is our strength !

In 2024, the number of people notified to have the disease rose by 13.6% to 5,490 people. Now the NHS are putting out messages to let migrants know it’s free to be tested. Britain, 2026.

@davy_hat @darrengrimes At no point in his tweet has Darren even hinted that he is against public health initiatives. It is a factual tweet that we have a TB outbreak in modern Britain. I share Darrens exasperation.

@darrengrimes So you're now against public health initiatives? Cheers Crafty.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg I'm sorry, but the Tory Party is now such a tarnished brand that any pact with Reform will only serve to diminish the support that Reform has. The electorate know that the Tories are overrun with liberal lefties amongst their Parlimentary Candidates.

The right united will never be defeated: The Tories and Reform UK need to unite to save Britain from Keir Starmer and the socialist mob thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…

@Keir_Starmer Another one of your vacuous platitudes, but this time it's cost us an additional 10% in tariffs. Way to go, idiot.

Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes. We have also made clear that Arctic Security matters for the whole of NATO and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic. Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration.

@benleo It is so very important that we don't adopt this policy here in the UK as my portfolio of rental properties depends on the inflated housing costs generated by importing migrants without having any aditional homes for them to go to.

NEW: US gov says mass deportations are dramatically improving quality of life for Americans Last year saw largest single-year drop in murders on record nationally (down 60% yoy in DC, Chicago fewest murders since 1965) PLUS plummeting housing costs:

🚨 After my last video exposing over $110 Million in fraud Tim Walz dropped his run for reelection and multiple federal investigations were launched to stop fraud across the country. In this 51 minute video David and I expose another $16 Million in fraud as Minnesota welfare programs continue to operate fraudulently and steal from law-abiding taxpayers, Like it and share it around everywhere! Accountability and the law must come for the fraudsters and corrupt politicians who have let this happen. The fraud must end.

@afneil Buffoons across the world will be shaking their heads in embarrassment for their chief, Ed Miliband.

An energy minister who has no idea what he’s talking about. His price comparison is so ridiculous it’s hard to know where to start. But we can begin with this: the price he quotes for gas is a massive exaggeration to suit his renewables narrative.

@officialsammyuk Why the f only 11 years? It doesn't make sense. Surely this is a candidate for 25 years before parole can even be considered.
