Scottish Born Voters who voted for Scottish Reform Are refused a Voice in Scotland Because the SNP are Bitter Twisted toxic Scum But foreign born Setters, boat people & Foreigners studying here on temp Visa have a Voice #SNPBetterForSettlers

My 5 year old boy does football training. At the end of the session they do a ‘man of the match’ type thing. My boy is always desperate to win it. He often doesn’t. I explained to him the other day that he didn’t win simply because he wasn’t good enough. That he deffo could win, but he just needs to be better, try harder, be more focused etc. One of the other mums heard me & was aghast at what I said. She told me she is going to get ‘runner-up stickers’ for all the kids who don’t make it. I said no thanks, not for my son. Kids need to learn that they can be the best, but they must apply themselves & dust themselves off when it doesn’t go their way. No consolation prizes, no ‘everyone’s a winner’ etc. There are winners & losers. Wanna win - do your best. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, go & smash something else. Play to your strengths & never, ever play the victim. If more parents & institutions had this attitude, the country would be in a better place - if I say so myself 😉 Cc @KonstantinKisin x.com/KonstantinKisi…

On this day 41 years ago, 54 Bradford City supporters and two Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never returned home. We will never forget those who sadly lost their lives, and as always, our thoughts are with their families and the hundreds still affected by the disaster to this day. Always in our hearts. 🎗️ #BCAFC

Heres the SNP Stephen Flynn describing people who voted for Reform UK in Scotland as having "Repugnant views" Well Stephen Flynn I think you're Repugnant! #ReformUK #UKPolitics #SNP #Farage #Scotland

@JohnSwinney You've a barefaced cheek to mention democracy. Ignoring almost 400k Scots simply because they voted Reform - you're a disgrace to the office of First Minister.

Watching Stevenage vs Stockport God it’s dire 💩

@Anniepop2027 @SkyNews @BBCNews That’s next level denial and spin, well done Madam

Let’s be clear Labour vote UP 4% this year Reform vote DOWN 6% at least this year. Reform have LOST. Despite the media push to get them out to vote. 74% did not vote Reform This is hyperbolic nonsense - Labour did well considering the media onslaught @SkyNews @BBCNews

Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020 I suggest he watches this on loop “When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’” GLORIOUS 🔥

NEW Nigel Farage: "I would be very sad to see Keir Starmer go - he is the greatest asset we have got." More now on @GBNEWS.

@chrisrich88 According to Starmer, people are not voting labour because they agree with his policies but they are not going fast enough, The man is delusional

Melt down on here over the elections is fucking beautiful They talk about right wing hate The stuff on here is unreal Vile isn't the word People have obviously had enough of the shit and looking for change

@BuddhistMatt @higgyboson We don’t have politicians any more, we have careerist grifters, only interested in serving themselves and skimming off the deals they make. The concept of “Service” died with the late queen, politicians are now lawyers and activists looking to make a quick buck Shameful

@higgyboson @Spencer_69 When written down like that, makes you think how the hell did he even become PM, with these policies. But this is politics and that’s the standard of politicians we have. Disastrous isn’t it.

CV. Completely ruined a major 126 year old political party in less than 2 years. Became the most hated UK Prime Minister in history. Unilaterally gave away billions of £'s of taxpayers money with no accountability required from the recipients. Wrecked the economy. Failed to control mass immigration, both legal and illegal. Failed to address the problem of muslim rape gangs. Increased welfare payments to a point where benefits now cost more than the entire income tax take. Allowed weekly pro-Palestinian hate marches on our streets. Consistently referred to people with concerns about the proliferation of migrant violence as "Far Right". Promoted one of his friends to high office despite knowing he was a buddy of one of the most prolific paedophiles on the planet. Consistently worked to reverse the result of the biggest democratic vote in British history by stealth. Placed tax dodgers, fraudsters and CV fantasists in Ministerial posts. Invited a known islamist terrorist to No.10 while simultaneously banning foreign commentators from the UK for merely reporting on the border fiasco. Took two weeks to find a Royal Navy ship that actually worked. Introduced legislation that will destroy the private rental market and create hundreds of thousands of homeless families. Promised to build 1.5 million homes in five years despite everyone telling him it would be impossible. Failed to help motorists and hauliers after the rise in the price of fuel caused by the war in Iran. Continues to allow Ed Milliband to wreck the UK's energy industry with his insane Net Zero policies. Raised the minimum wage and employers National Insurance contributions leading to thousands of job losses and businesses folding. Introduced VAT to private school fees leading to many excellent seats of learning closing their doors. Consistently refused to answer questions during the session in the parliamentary week set aside for this specific purpose. Consistently failed to accept responsibility for any wrong doing, preferring to sack others instead. Alienated "working people" while claiming to be on their side. And the lies. The constant lies. Failure. Failure. And more Failure. Time to go.

@jeremycorbyn Still irrelevant 🤡

I just voted for three fantastic independent candidates in Finsbury Park who oppose austerity, stand up to racism and support the people of Palestine. Today, a new kind of politics is on the ballot — and community power will win!

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

@BigBearF1 Walkie Torquay tours

I want to set up a business in Torquay... walking tours where people keep in contact using portable radios but can't think of a good name....🥴

@RealDonKeith The only way to defeat your enemies is to be more ruthless, more aggressive, more brutal and more determined than they are, once they realise that you are prepared and willing to to do this, they will back off and want to negotiate, at that point you drive it home hard and fast

🚨Masked Islamists just tried storming an NYPD barricade in New York. They assaulted officers and screamed calls for terrorism. This is the chaos radical Islam unleashes on our streets. America cannot tolerate it. Enough is enough.

@afneil @TimesRadio This will take decades to resolve, with strong political will and conviction, do we have any politicians who can even spell that never mind have the conviction to do it?

My monologue from today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil @TimesRadio ROYAL NAVY RIP While US destroyers duke it out with Iranian navy fast boats over the Strait of Hormuz, we learned yesterday that the Royal Navy’s HMS Iron Duke, a Type 23 frigate, was being withdrawn from active service, despite a recent £100m five-year refit, which suggests that was largely a waste of money.  More important, it underlines the stark reality that we no longer have a functioning navy.  That’s right. The country of Rule Britannia, which once had the most powerful navy in the world, capable of protecting an empire which covered a quarter of the globe, no longer has a navy worthy of the name.   For the factual basis of what I’m about to say, I am indebted to Britsky, who posts important naval data on X and has become the reliable go-to source for information on our disappearing Navy.  HMS Iron Duke joins another ageing Type 23, HMS Richmond, in retirement. Leaving the Royal Navy with just five frigates to monitor Russian submarine activity in the North Atlantic and other Russian activity in the Channel.  Even that doesn’t reveal the full, desperate picture. Of the five frigates still supposedly available for service, one, HMS Kent, has been almost 750 days in refit and is not available for service. HMS Portland and HMS St Albans have also been laid up for some time.  Only HMS Somerset is currently deployed and HMS Sutherland could be, pretty quickly. So the Royal Navy can call on the immediate services of only two of the five frigates we have, all dating from the 1990s.  What about the more powerful Type 45 destroyers? Sad to relate the picture is even bleaker. There are only six. One, HMS Dragon, has been deployed to the East Mediterranean to protect Cyprus, though that took some time.  Another, HMS Daring, has been in refit for 3,260 days and still not available for duty. HMS Defender has been out of action for over 1,000 days, HMS Diamond for just under 700 days. HMS Dauntless is in maintenance. Other than Dragon, out of our six destroyers, only HMS Duncan could be deployed quickly.  What about our hugely expensive, powerful Astute class submarines? Better you don’t ask. We have only five — and only one, HMS Anson, is on active service somewhere in the Indian Ocean.  The other four — Astute, Ambush, Artful and Audacious — have been laid up for a total of 4,000 days. That’s right 4,000 days. HMS Ambush alone has been inactive for 1,400 days. It’s currently laid up on the River Clyde.  So the currently deployable, conventional Royal Navy, excluding the ancient, creaking subs carrying our nuclear deterrent, amounts to two frigates, two destroyers and one sub. That’s not a navy for a maritime nation. That’s a joke.  Yes, we have two big aircraft carriers too. They also seem to spend a lot of time in maintenance, which is where they are at the moment. But both could currently be deployed pretty quickly, which is an improvement. But we don’t have the frigates or destroyers to form a carrier fleet. So they can only be used in concert with better equipped allies.  We might be short of fighting ships. But we’re not short of admirals. We currently have around 30 rear admirals or above, which works out around four per deployable ship. That’s admirals. Not captains.  None, of course, of this bloated top brass has been held accountable for the near disappearance of our naval power. Nor have any Tory politicians who for 14 years presided over our navy’s degradation. Nor is the current Labour government in any apparent hurry to put matters right. Our airforce and army are in no great shapes either. But it is the state of our non-navy, an integral, vital part of our island history, which is the real national scandal.  And, as is so often the case in modern Britain, nobody is held to account. Nobody forced to carry the can. Nobody making it their mission to put it right. And that is the real national disgrace.

In this hilarious confrontation, a pair of Green Party canvassers unwittingly knocked on the door of one @danwootton They couldn’t handle the barrage of questions that came their way and left. He recorded the interaction and played it on today’s OUTSPOKEN
