Your father retired at sixty. He bought a caravan. He saw his grandkids on Tuesdays. He had time. You are sixty four. Your knees are gone. Your back is ruined. And they have moved the line again. Sixty seven. Then sixty eight. Then sixty nine. They sold three years of your retirement to balance their books. They sold five years of your wife's pension to balance their books. They will sell your children's whole retirement before they are done. Healthy life expectancy in this country is sixty three. You will retire sick. If you retire at all. The printer at Threadneedle Street never stops. The spending at the Treasury never stops. The excuses at Downing Street never stop. Three machines grinding through your life. You were not given more years to enjoy. You were given more years to serve.

🚨 Conservative MP Harriet Cross TORE into Labour’s energy policy in the House of Commons. 🔥 While Norway’s own Labour government is busy issuing new North Sea oil & gas licences and expanding drilling to secure its energy future, Britain’s Labour government has banned new licensing here at home. The result? British workers fly to Norway for oil jobs, and we pay billions every year to import Norwegian gas from the very same North Sea basin we refuse to touch. Harriet nailed it in the Commons: We’re shutting down our own industry, exporting jobs and cash, and making ourselves more dependent on foreign energy, all in the name of “net zero” virtue signalling. This isn’t environmental leadership. It’s national stupidity.

Please all journalists who interview Andy Burnham - don't ask him what a woman is or if a woman can have a penis. Ask him how women's sex based rights can be protected in law if he thinks men can be in those spaces and have the same rights? If the first words out of his mouth

The Los Angeles Mayor race is going to be RIGGED 🚨 Los Angeles resident received all these mail in ballots to his home and NONE of them are addressed to him We have to ban mail in ballots and switch to in person voting with an ID This is how California Democrats rig elections Every single election people post tons of videos showing they get tons of mail in ballots to their home that don’t belong to them Multiply this state wide plus the fact Gavin Newsom made checking ID when voting illegal This must be stopped

At this stage, there are effectively three separate streams moving at once around the Grooming gang scandal. First, Maggie Oliver is pursuing legal action aimed at forcing the implementation of recommendations already identified through the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. That route is about accountability through existing findings and pushing the state to act on failures already documented. Second, Rupert Lowe has launched an independent rape gang inquiry. My understanding is that its strength is exposure, testimony, public scrutiny, and bringing information into the open, including through parliamentary privilege where applicable. It may help generate evidence, pressure, referrals, and potentially civil action, but it is not the same as a statutory public inquiry with legal powers of compulsion. Third, the national inquiry is the only stream with full statutory powers to compel witnesses, require disclosure of documents, and force institutions and individuals to give evidence under oath. That is the key distinction. It carries the formal authority of the state. So the three streams are different in structure and powers: • Maggie Oliver’s route pushes implementation and accountability from past findings • Rupert Lowe’s route pushes exposure, scrutiny, and public pressure • The national inquiry compels evidence and testimony through statutory powers All three can produce outcomes. They are not mutually exclusive. One may expose, one may pressure, and one may compel. From your point of view, the central issue is that something finally gets done and victims, survivors, and whistleblowers are not ignored again.

I don’t often show vulnerability, but I feel deeply disheartened by what is happening with the national grooming gangs inquiry. As the sister of a kidnapped teenager and rape victim, this issue is personal to me. Many of us have given huge amounts of our own time to campaign for the truth. I am not a survivor, so I cannot begin to imagine how victims are feeling as they face one obstacle after another. What I struggle to understand is why those with morals are the ones fighting every day, while many of those who enabled this seem to carry on without consequence. This can’t go on. Thank you to Sarah Pochin, MP, for highlighting the inconsistencies in our justice system. @SarahForRuncorn

Spencer Pratt just revealed he’ll turn the 19-room Mayor’s mansion in Hancock Park into housing for single mothers! Single mothers living on LA streets face horrifying rates of violence and assault. A gated, heavily secured mansion isn’t just a bed, it’s the safest housing in the city, given to the women who need protection most. @Elex_Michaelson "So you're going to turn the mayor's house into housing for homeless people?" @spencerpratt "Single mothers. Not drug addicts. Drug addicts need to go get treatment."

The Mandelson Affair Has Disappeared. Ask Yourself Why. Three weeks ago the Mandelson affair was the most dangerous story in British politics. The files were building toward further release. Ian Collard's written evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee was outstanding. The privileges committee referral remained live. The pattern of decisions accommodating Beijing's interests, Chagos, the spy trial collapse, the largest Chinese embassy in Europe, the Indo-Pacific withdrawal, was accumulating in the public record. Starmer looked like a man running out of road. Then in the space of seventy two hours everything changed. Josh Simons resigned his seat. Andy Burnham announced his candidacy. Wes Streeting resigned as Health Secretary. Angela Rayner was cleared by HMRC. And every front page in Britain was consumed by the Labour succession drama. The Mandelson story has not appeared on a front page since. Starmer does not look like a man fighting for survival. He looks like a man whose shoulders have been relieved of a weight. Consider the Simons dimension carefully. Simons commissioned Operation Cannon, a 48 page dossier produced by APCO Worldwide that falsely linked Sunday Times journalists to Russian intelligence. A version was sent to GCHQ. He resigned from government on 1 March 2026, cleared of breaching the Ministerial Code but acknowledging he had become a distraction. He then resigned his seat on 14 May 2026, specifically to provide a path for Burnham. This is the first time in over sixty years a by-election has been triggered to provide a seat for a figure not in Parliament. A man with that record resigns his seat with convenient timing and the political class calls it a selfless act. Consider the Burnham dimension. His mayoralty was already ending. He announced he would not seek re-election in 2028. Westminster was always the only path left for his career. Standing for Makerfield is not a sacrifice. The risk calculation has been entirely misrepresented. And his candidacy was approved by the NEC without any other names being put forward, bypassing the local party vote entirely. The same NEC that blocked him for Gorton and Denton in February cleared his path without resistance in May. The machine that controls candidate selection moved smoothly and without friction. Consider what Burnham's mayoralty actually produced in Greater Manchester. 108 Labour councillors lost their seats in the region in the May local elections alone. Reform won 24 of 25 seats in Wigan, 18 of 19 in Tameside, 13 of 21 in Salford. The Manchester Mill described the scale of the collapse as unfathomable. This happened on Burnham's watch. His personal popularity has been used to paper over a regional collapse that is structural, severe and entirely compatible with the grooming gang cover-up allegation Maggie Oliver has placed on the public record. Whether this sequence of events represents coordination or coincidence cannot be established from the visible record. What can be established is this. The people who benefit most from the Mandelson story disappearing are the same people who have engineered the circumstances that made it disappear. Starmer is freed from immediate threat. Simons rehabilitates his reputation through a selfless gesture. Burnham gets the Westminster return his career requires. And the files, the testimony, the China pattern, the vetting questions, the missing formal record, all of it waits quietly while the political class argues about a by-election in Wigan. The Mandelson affair has not been resolved. The questions have not been answered. The files have not been fully released. They have simply been buried. And the people who buried them are already planning the next act. "Starmer does not look like a man fighting for survival. He looks like a man whose shoulders have been relieved of a weight."

Spencer Pratt calls it the “homeless industrial complex,”a massive scam where billions in taxpayer money, over twenty-four billion statewide in recent years, get funneled to nonprofits with little oversight or results. LA audits couldn’t properly track two point three billion dollars in spending, and he’s hammering that as proof of waste and fraud. He’s pointed to nonprofit execs pulling in million-dollar salaries while homelessness keeps rising. A guy in LA was caught siphoning over twenty million dollars meant for homeless shelters, buying himself a Rolls-Royce, a yacht, and a mansion. Stuff like that fuels Spencer’s whole argument that the system is rigged to enrich insiders, not actually solve the crisis. He’s pushing to rip out the middlemen and demand real accountability.

There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs! An incredibly unjust double-standard!

In response to Piers Morgan’s recent interview with @basedandbougie I’m tired of being treated like I’m imagining things. I’ve lived through abuse. I’ve personally seen what men are capable of up close, long before anyone tried to lecture me with “white men rape too.” I know that. I survived it. I’ve had my whole life shaped by men who should have protected me but didn’t. I’m done with people using that line to shut women up. It’s a lazy, insulting way to dodge the reality we’re facing now - the extra risks created by a system that keeps letting dangerous men slip through because it’s terrified of being called the wrong thing. Women aren’t stupid. We see the cases piling up. We see the same failures again and again from systems that are supposed to protect us - warning signs ignored, reports brushed aside, authorities too scared of labels to do their damn jobs. And every time they look the other way, it’s women and children who pay for it. I’m tired of being told to be “inclusive” while girls are being failed in the most horrific ways. I’m tired of watching people care more about optics than about the safety of actual human beings. Women have had enough of the gaslighting. We want proper checks, real consequences, and a system that actually puts women’s safety first instead of pretending everything is fine!

Entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel has over 7 million followers across her social media channels and explains why Los Angeles resents need to vote for Spencer Pratt “He's been honest. He's gonna get sh*t done. And he's a true Angeleno — I wouldn't bet against him. I'm gonna bet for him. And I would help him. I like him — He's campaigning on f*cking making a difference, doing something, because LA is a sh*t show and a shell of its former self. LA used to be interesting and cool. People got excited to go there and live there. Now people want to get the f*ck out of there and kind of dread going there. LA is not it anymore” This is one thing I think people not from Los Angeles have a really hard time understanding. People really don’t get how bad Los Angeles has gotten Believe me when I tell you - The infrastructure is falling alert, sidewalks and buildings - Homeless tens as far as the eyes can see EVERYWHERE - Street fires are everywhere from the homeless - The streets smell so urine soaked you can’t even breathe. It makes you gag - Homeless drug zombies attack people, they’re always getting naked and doing drugs right out in the open - Graffiti is EVERYWHERE, you don’t understand how bad it is until you see it. It’s worse then Mexico - Plywood structures are everywhere - It’s so unsanitary 7 medieval diseases are making a comeback in downtown LA It’s literally like a zombie apocalypse happened and no help ever came

Listen to this, Sarah Pochin asks why was it set up in minutes that anyone arrested at the Tommy Robinson rally would be swiftly in court, yet women have been waiting years when they have been raped to be heard? Lammys answer is incredible it shows it’s us they hate

Joe Rogan's interview with Spencer Pratt really showed who Pratt is... @spencerpratt is ready to be the next Mayor of Los Angeles Thank you @joerogan for continuing to give voice to people who are trying to make things better

@K8Nowicki @NaomiSky_15 Xenia

@StephsOnline @NaomiSky_15 Tiara?? What?

Lady C today: The Grand Duchess Xenia tiara was the one Meghan wanted. No one knows how she knew about it since it was one of the tiaras the Late Queen would never be photographed in. Was Eugenie giving Meghan private information on the royal jewels?

@K8Nowicki @NaomiSky_15 Harry wouldn’t even be able to pronounce it

@NaomiSky_15 I mean Harry could have told her about it. Why does it have to be Eugenie?

🚨 RESPECT ORDERS - You don’t need to break the law to be criminalised in Britain. You just need to annoy the wrong person. The government is pushing through something called a Respect Order, part of the new Crime and Policing Bill now moving through Parliament. Respect Orders are civil, not criminal, so they don’t require a jury or criminal standard of proof. Just someone saying you’re causing a nuisance, even online! 
If someone complains, that you're too loud, too disruptive, too opinionated, you can be banned from: ▪️Posting on social media ▪️Attending a protest ▪️Speaking in a public place ▪️Even entering certain areas All without ever being charged with a crime. And if you break the order?
well … that’s a crime. You could be fined, arrested, or jailed for up to two years. It’s pre-crime policing and It’s about control, not safety. It’s a ban on dissent.

The NHS put a mentally ill woman in a men’s psychiatric ward and she was raped within ONE HOUR. Do you understand now what a woman is and why that matters, Health Secretary @jamesmurray_ldn??

@AllForProgress_ You have an image problem - you look like you’re sponsored by Lloyd’s bank

For the last year I've been helming the development of Progress, a new British political movement beyond left and right, for whom I have been acting as founder and leader. Today we are publicly releasing our policy testament, and with it, introducing our party and organisation for the first time. If you've been reading this feed over the past fortnight you'll have some idea of what we think is wrong with Britain. The tweets were not an exercise in commentary. They were the opening argument of a case we intend to prosecute through the coming years, made by a group of highly able everyday citizens who have spent years looking at the parlous state of the country in which they live and feel summoned to duty. Progress' philosophy is a best-of-both-worlds approach to the mixture of political spectrum positions. We believe in industrial development, real wage increases for the worker, skills and training, healthy public services (including and especially the NHS), and giving everyone in Britain a fair stake in their society; we will do more for working people on these issues than Labour have in living memory. We will do more to secure Britain's streets from crime than the Tories have in a century. We are committed to answering the public's repeat and clear wishes on immigration in a way that is both uncompromised and robust, as well as utterly civilised. We are in step, and side-by-side, with the median voter on these issues because Progress was founded by the median voter, for the median voter. We are the proud and natural home for the politically homeless. You may ask, "Why not Reform or Restore or the Greens?" In short, we at Progress understand implicitly the scale of the problems that face our country. We know that only organisations capable of the highest performance have a chance of wresting those problems to the ground. We look at Reform and Restore and the Greens and, like you, are left in no doubt that they are incapable of the level of performance required. They are conventional political organisations capable only of conventional things. Britain needs something far greater than that. The policy testament we are sharing with you today is the richest, longest, and most comprehensive integrated vision for the future of Britain written yet this century, a document that will continue to evolve as our understanding of how to best serve our people grows. We invite you to read it. It was written by people who take you and your needs extremely seriously. And yet, for all that, half a million words of policy is the easy part. The real challenge comes now, in building a political machine up and down the country not merely capable, in time, of contesting elections, but capable in the immediate term of providing value to the communities in which they are embedded. This is the essence of our aim: not to beg trust but to win it through service, without being asked and without asking anything in return. At Progress, we call this 'CIV', or 'Community Investment'. Our work may elapse over a generation before it bears fruit. Fate may intervene to bring it to resolution, good or bad, long before that. In the chaos of our world there's no way to know. But what is in our control is our drive and ability to build, and "build" is what we're doing and what we’re going to do. We require community leaders, active and would-be, to help support our existing CIVs up and down the country and build more. We require experts and technicians of every stripe. Outsized and unusually shaped talent is the alpha and the omega of our organisation. We require, above all else, any and everyone who has looked at what Britain has become and concluded that responsibility for fixing it must lay with the people, not with a professional failure class. Never doubt that, as dark as things seem in this land of ours, there are those fighting, hard and earnest, to right the course. If you’re stirred by duty, if you wish to work with a British political organisation that can do things others can't, then come and give us your hand. It Can Be Done. progressforbritain.org
