Save Scotland from SNP / Greens & Labour.. UK politicians are literally destroying the North Sea oil & gas industry – and for what? Every £1m of wind turnover creates just 1 job. Oil & gas created 14.2 jobs per £1m (STUC report, Oct 2025). That’s 15 highly skilled, high-paid jobs lost for every 1 subsidised wind job – often built with Chinese turbines and zero in-house UK engineering. We’re throwing away billions in tax revenue, world-class expertise, energy security and competitiveness. Full lifecycle carbon footprint? Aggregate UK imports (Norway pipeline + US/Qatar LNG etc.) have a similar or higher footprint than our own domestic production. We’re not saving the planet – we’re offshoring emissions while gutting a strategic industry. Every other country with oil & gas is doubling down to keep energy cheap, protect jobs and stay competitive in manufacturing. This CO2 ideology is madness. Atmospheric levels today are two or three times lower than where they’ve been for much of our planet’s history – and life thrived. We’re sacrificing real British jobs, tax take and security on the altar of green virtue-signalling. Insane. Time to reverse this before it’s too late. #NorthSea #EnergySecurity #StopTheMadness

Can anybody in the Green Party see the problem with adding at least 18% to the minimum cost of employing an adult and at least 38% to the minimum cost of employing an 18 to 20-year-old? In just one year? Anybody?? 🤔 ft.com/content/431a16…

SHOCKING: A man who arrived in Britain by small boat JUST 16 days earlier has been found guilty of preparing a knife attack at the Israeli Embassy London. We’ve now had 20 foiled Iranian linked terror plots in the UK this year alone. At what point do we join the dots? Hostile states don’t just operate through embassies and cyber warfare they EXPLOIT weak borders. Sleeper cells don’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes they come quietly, across the Channel, undocumented, unvetted, and ready and this is how the hostile states operate. This is now a national security crisis.

The Herald reports that Team SNP can't even get Scottish Government civil servants to turn up for work Government offices around the country lie empty - at great public expense - while 9 out of ten staff work from home! What a waste of public money! heraldscotland.com/news/26068536.…

Our economy is collapsing. More job losses. Less tax for the government. This has been a long time in the making by consecutive governments. We are in big trouble.

Angela Rayner’s Latest DRUNKEN DISASTER Revealed! 🤦‍♂️ Dan Wooton Reveals Yet Another Cringeworthy Incident From Former Deputy PM 😬 Angela Rayner got absolutely smashed at a bar in Parliament, screaming about socialism before dramatically collapsing into a door and ripping it clean off its hinges!🚪 Add that to her infamous Ibiza holiday where she was bouncing around on stage looking worse for wear 😵‍💫, and the time she was left alone for just a few minutes in Keir Starmer’s flat above Downing Street. She cracked open a treasured, unopened bottle of whisky 🥃, a final gift from one of his closest friends before he died, something Starmer had never intended to drink. She later admitted feeling mortified. Three boozy disasters and counting. Maybe Ange has a bit of a drink problem? And this is the woman apparently braced to take over from Starmer? Dan is spot on. Britain is absolutely doomed!

Belgium Police basically surround me while I’m live streaming… and then this happened, I was in Belgium filming the migrant situation when multiple Belgian police vans and officers suddenly approached me on the street. They admitted they had been watching my livestream the entire time. They took me back to my hotel, checked my ID, and searched the place. My trip to Belgium came to a very abrupt end. Migrant trafficking gangs are now openly threatening to shoot me in the head. On top of that, the French authorities have already banned me and now it looks like the Belgian police are monitoring me too. This is a lot bigger than any of us realise. They really don’t want the truth coming out about what’s happening on the ground. #Belgium #MigrantCrisis #PoliceSurveillance #ExposeTheTruth #OperationOverlord

This Nigerian man successfully fought a deportation on human rights grounds. He has just been jailed for 17 years for dragging a young woman into woods and assaulting her. He was already on bail for another rape allegation. The BBC reports he has a "fascination" for forced sexual abuse. "He grabbed her by the mouth and forced her into woods, where he carried out a violent rape." Why wasn't he deported before his latest crime? Read this... From the BBC - "The judge at the immigration tribunal in 2024 said the matter was "finely balanced", arguing the offence Oladele had committed was "very serious" and that there was "a strong public interest in deporting and excluding foreign criminals, especially one who has committed a frightening and public assault". But the fact that Oladele would be "a complete outsider should he relocate to Nigeria" and that he had a "developed private life having grown up in the United Kingdom" outweighed the public interest in deporting him.' The judge said he posed 'exceptionally high risk of harm to young women'. What the hell are we doing to ourselves? Honestly? Two words. Death penalty. Restore Britain would give the British people a say if they want savage animals like this put to death.

This clip is amazing. Malcolm could be living life in the tropics sipping cocktails in the sun. Instead he has chosen to lead #ReformUK in Scotland because he wants to turn this sinking ship around. We need more Malcolm Offord’s and less Ross Greers.

Churches across Britain are being torched at a disturbing rate. These fires are no accident… they are not burning themselves down. We are witnessing the active destruction of a nation.

Labour Heartlands@Labourheartland·
Keir Starmer was asked a direct question in the wake of the stabbings on "Golders Green." Does your wife, from a Jewish family, fear living in this country? His answer: "I don't want to personalise it to my family." Let that sit for a moment. This is a man who has built an entire political persona on personalising everything. His dad the toolmaker. His mum the nurse. His mum the patient. His wife the NHS worker. His uncle the sailor. His sister the cleaner. The tale of a family sat around a table struggling to pay a telephone bill. Every speech, every pitch, every moment of manufactured connection anchored in the same family, rotated on cue. But when a journalist asks a plain, human question, one that tests whether any of that means anything, suddenly it's too personal. You can’t have it both ways. You don't get to trade on your family when it softens your image, then retreat behind abstraction when the question cuts too close. That's not dignity. It's not even discretion. It's the instinct of a man who has spent so long performing authenticity that he's forgotten what it actually requires. Authenticity, when it matters, costs something. And in that moment, when asked plainly, he stepped back from the very ground he’s spent years standing on. Happen, his handlers have not told him his position yet...
