Steve Scrase

A tragic, damning reflection of modern Britain. Ann Widdecombe was a loyal, fearless ally who never backed down from the establishment. Challenging the Westminster uniparty shouldn't require 24/7 security protection, but this is the dangerous reality we now inhabit. 100% support the party taking zero chances with our MPs' lives.

@CPhilpOfficial Started by the conservatives. Continued by Labour.

1,150 offenders from Jamaica, Iraq, Nigeria, and Somalia in prison. Only 110 deported last year. Why? Bogus human rights claims block flights, and the government refuses to cut aid to countries that won't take them back. #UKPolitics #Justice #Deportation

Hey @British_Airways will I be able to watch the @England match on my flight tomorrow? ⚽️🙏

@EssexPR @simeondennis88 I have a rare spinal cord condition with neurogenic hypertension so I think I'll pass with the boxing Adam. I'm envious when I see people punching things as a stress reliever though 😆.

At a time when I definitely need a clear head and to be on it, there’s nothing better than boxing 🥊 Sparred a few rounds & did pads tonight with my coach and pall @simeondennis88

@strimmer01 @policylaila It "would've" been a good response if it had substance to it..

@StevenScrase @policylaila It’s actually not. But, thanks anyway for the compliment. It was obviously a good response then? (PS I’m a member of the WEF. 🤷‍♂️ Hence my condescension comment.)

Since it seems you’re either intentionally obtuse, or so deep inside the establishment bubble you can’t tell up from down, let me define what I mean by “the establishment.” The establishment isn’t defined by wealth, success, private schools or impressive careers. If it were, every entrepreneur, footballer, celebrity and business owner would be part of it. They aren’t. The establishment is the network of politicians, senior civil servants, quangos, regulators, publicly funded institutions and influential media figures with direct access to the levers of power. They write the laws, allocate public money, shape policy, influence the institutions that govern our lives and have enormous influence over what is treated as respectable or beyond the pale in public debate. Their worldview is formed largely within the same political, institutional and media circles. Ideas are reinforced by one another rather than tested against the experience of the people they govern.When outsiders challenge that consensus, they aren’t just opposed, they’re discredited by the political, institutional and media networks that protect the system. Membership isn’t earned with an Oxford degree, a banking career or a successful business. It’s earned by serving and perpetuating the system. Which brings me to The Times. It suggests I’m somehow part of the establishment because I went to the Lycée Français and became a Senior prosecutor. That’s a category error. I’ve never written Britain’s laws, run a government department, controlled public spending or shaped the political consensus. My education and career don’t make me part of the establishment any more than they make me Prime Minister. They’re confusing personal achievement with institutional power. The same applies to Nigel Farage. For decades he has challenged the political consensus that has dominated Westminster. While the establishment was running the country, he was campaigning against the direction it was taking. That’s precisely why so much of the political, institutional and media class has spent decades trying to ridicule him, discredit him and paint him as the villain. Not because he’s part of their system, but because he has consistently challenged it. That’s what the establishment is. It isn’t a social class. It isn’t a school. It isn’t a bank balance. It’s defined by what you protect: a self-serving system that puts preserving its own power ahead of serving the people it exists to represent.

@GoodwinMJ Good luck Matt, I hope you win whichever constituency you aim for.

I have submitted my application to stand for Reform at the next general election. Ann Widdecombe. Wayne Broadhurst. Rhiannon Whyte. Henry Nowak. Thomas Roberts. Lucy Lowe. Terence Carney. Victoria Agoglia. Two-tier justice. Record taxes. Shabir Ahmed. Mass welfare. Islamism. Sectarianism. Non-crime hate incidents. The Boriswave. The ECHR. Net Zero. Fake Tories. Chagos. Keir Starmer. Grooming gangs. Open borders. Your kids. The future. Britain is being destroyed. Your home is being destroyed. And it is only going to get worse. There is no such thing as a perfect party, or a perfect leader. But Reform is heading in the right direction — back towards the light, And away from all the managed decline you see around you today. I urge you all to apply. Before it’s too late.

@LCFC Unbelievable that you are charging fans £4.99 to watch a pre season match whilst in league 1 this season. You would've thought the ownership would've learnt by now.

On site 👋 #BRVLEI

The fact is if Kemi Badenoch sacked all those in her party responsible for the population explosion, the climate zealotry and the crushing of our industry… …there would be nobody left.

@DefenceHQ By that point in time you won't have any naval assets to position in those bases.

Project Royal Oak is the biggest naval base overhaul in 45 years - £26 billion to modernise HMNB Clyde, Devonport, and Portsmouth. ⚓ Construction is already underway at Clyde which will transform the base, reinforcing Scotland’s central role in the UK’s defence industrial base.

@CPhilpOfficial Imagine having the absolute brass neck to complain about 76,000 crossings and a 95% retention rate when you literally sat in the Home Office and managed the exact system delivering those numbers. The Tories had 14 years and a massive majority to leave the ECHR, turn the boats around, and actually secure the border. Instead, you built the asylum hotel pipeline and completely surrendered to activist lawyers. Trying to play the hardline right-winger now that you're safely out of power is a pathetic, shameless grift. You engineered this entire crisis. @reformparty_uk are the only viable party left to fix your negligence.

Imagine looking at a 95% retention rate and trying to pin it entirely on Labour, when you spent over a decade running the exact same broken immigration system. The Tories opened the floodgates, refused to leave the ECHR, and completely surrendered the borders. A former Home Office minister trying to play the tough guy now is the ultimate sick joke. Log off.

76,000 crossings since the election. Only ~5% of small boat arrivals removed. 95% chance of staying. Leaving France is not fleeing danger. Watch the full clip.

@BellaWallerstei This is exactly why the Conservative party is finished. Instead of listening to the millions of voters who defected to Reform, CCHQ is doing focus groups with people who actively write articles begging the party to "return to the centre ground".

Fair play to CCHQ for calling me this evening (outside an election campaign) for feedback. I said Kemi is best on serious policy and they need credible plan to cut taxes, reduce welfare & offer professionals a reason to back them. Party is certainly putting in hard yards!

@englandincolour Given the landscape in the background are we sure that that is indeed London?

1930s London.

Andy Burnham has spent 20 years reaching for other people’s money. Reform UK will fight against Labour’s incoming tax assault.

@thinkdefence Precisely this. Having a short memory isn't an excuse to soften ones stance in these circumstances.

Am I the only one looking at social media, the World Cup, and the 1982 Falklands Conflict, and thinking that the world has lost its mind. Over 900 men never returned home to their families, 255 of them British.

@28virgo Completely agree! Kemi's strategy is to hide behind the parapet and to hope that nobody looks closely at her.

@StevenScrase She's a complete dud .... takes the side of the left rather than right wing parties - except for restore / Lowe who she has an agreement with .complete fake !

The more I hear from #KemiBadenoch, the more sure I am that she won't become the next UK Prime Minister. Her Conservatives have had their time.

@strimmer01 @policylaila AI response of ever I saw one.

@StevenScrase @policylaila Fair point on elite theory and shared class interests—however, it's definitely about networking rather than a 'shadow government.' But let's not overstate any cohesion! Those forums are packed with competing agendas, conflicting national interests, and fierce disagreements. 1/2

@CornesyR @ZiaYusufUK Your point?

@StevenScrase @ZiaYusufUK Brexit happened 5 years ago Keep up, chappy

🚨 Labour is about to U-turn on ILR reforms and accelerate Britain’s Boriswave bankruptcy. The ‘Boriswave’ was one of the most appalling acts of vandalism ever inflicted on the British people by its own government. The Tories imported millions of unskilled migrants from third world countries in the blink of an eye. Half of them do not work and never will. This Boriswave will cost the taxpayer £622 billion over their lifetimes, that’s £20,000 for every household in Britain. Shabana Mahmood, the Labour Home Secretary, has the opportunity to at least unwind some of this vandalism. She knows the cost of failing to act could be the bankruptcy of Britain. That’s why she drew up plans to extend the time they’d need to wait to get Indefinite Leave to Remain to 10 years.  Now it turns out she is nothing more than a subversive career politician willing to sacrifice the British people’s future for her own political future.  Burnham has handed the reins of power to the Labour backbench MPs. These people want open borders as they see every unskilled migrant as a future voter. I want to be crystal clear. Firstly: many Labour MPs are simply too dense to know what they are doing. That’s why most have never done anything other than Labour politics in their life. Mahmood is knowingly selling out her country out of naked ambition. Secondly: a Reform government will not allow this vandalism to bankrupt Britain. We will reverse the Boriswave.

@NavyLookout That's what happens when governments don't give our armed forces the money required to keep assets active. It's that simple.

RN officially confirmed today that HMS Richmond and HMS Iron Duke have been retired, leaving just 5 frigates in service. First of the Type 26 and Type 31 replacement in-service dates are vague - "by end of the decade" Full story here: navylookout.com/another-warshi…

@KemiBadenoch You are not the right person to talk about Visa oversight, Kemi, with your track record.

People who come to Britain on temporary work visas should not automatically be able to stay forever. This Labour government was right to make that harder. Now their MPs want them to u-turn. Conservatives will back Labour’s original plan to help get it through Parliament.

@SarahForRuncorn Very well put, Sarah.

I was sorry to miss the House of Commons paying tribute to my friend and colleague Ann Widdecombe. Unfortunately, at the same time, I was speaking in Westminster Hall in a debate on illegal migration and offshore deportation centres. It would be easy to stay quiet right now. Recent events have had a profound effect on us all. But that is not what Reform is about, and Ann would have been the first to say so. She never stayed silent in the face of threats. She spoke up and raised the subjects others were too frightened to confront. So that is what I did today.
