A British student can’t get an NHS dentist. A British family can’t get a council house. But a Gaza student can use the ECHR to drag her whole family here because it would be ‘unjustifiably harsh’ not to. The only people our courts think don’t have rights are the British.

Europe is so desperate to avoid getting dragged into this war, they're denying airspace to US B-1 Lancers

WOW. Mike Lee is BATTLING on the Senate floor late tonight to pass the SAVE America Act “I will CONTINUE day after day, week after week, MONTH AFTER MONTH if that's what it takes to get this passed!” Now THIS is how you serve the American people.

@EricLDaugh Why lie? Perhaps it’s a case of follow your leader, to see who can lie the most?

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Stephen Miller just revealed a JAW-DROPPING indication of voter fraud "At the start of this admin, we asked EVERY STATE to share their voter rolls so we can scrub illegal aliens." "EVERY BLUE STATE REFUSED. They SUED US." MASS fraud.

@nw_nicholas Because he needs to grift as much cash as he can. Reform is a company rather than a party. It’s why they don’t have internal elections. The majority of Reforms funds come from outside the UK too. He is literally selling the UK to foreign investors.

@EricLDaugh So Trump walks away and leaves a mess for others to clean up. Whist crowing he won a war. Which begs the question of what Americans lost their lives for. So much losing it’s embarrassing.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump announces the US is ON THE VERGE of 100% completing the Iran war, and that America will NOT be responsible for securing the Strait of Hormuz once it's won "We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider WINDING DOWN our great Military efforts..." NO FREE RIDES! "The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!" "If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them."

@EricLDaugh There is no evident cheating. The actual data has fraudulent votes at 0.00028% of all votes case. It’s a pointless designed to remove the vote from many US citizens. Why lie to the American people. So sad.

@WhiteHouse So spent billions of $, lost American lives, and achieved nothing tangible. But will leave a mess expecting other countries to bail him out. So much winning right there. So much.

@ColinBrazierTV So one Iranian walks up to the front gate and asks to go inside, and is refused entry. Hardly a problem is it.

Can anyone explain why Iranians are trying to get into Britain’s most sensitive nuclear installation? And whether there comes a time when we realise allowing thousands of young men from Iran into Britain on small boats might be a threat to our security? thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

@GuntherEagleman In the real world MAGA would check the data and discover it isn’t needed. Given voter fraud in the USA is something around 0.00028% of all votes cast. But MAGA won’t. As the real world doesn’t fit the facts. So they just lie.

@PressSec What does SAVE actually do? Voting fraud is virtually non existent. The only thing it does is disenfranchise American citizens from the right to vote. Why is that a republican goal?

Can you tell me again how a bill to prevent noncitizen voting would destroy “our democracy”? It’s not making sense—to anyone. Pass the SAVE America Act.

@spenniy Perhaps raise income tax and give more to councils, so council tax is lower?

I firmly believe that living in the #UK is becoming unsustainable for many. It’s a bankrupt country. There are too-few people to haul the heavy locomotive and quite frankly I’m fed up of being one of those people. Something has got to change. #CouncilTax #Tax

Our party leader @Nigel_Farage has outworked, outfought and outclassed the political establishment at every turn for 20 years fighting to get our country back. He is the most successful British politician for decades and I'm honoured to play my part supporting him.

@KirstieMAllsopp Here in Cambridge they want to spend £180m on a 3 lane bus road, through the green belt, for up to 6 single decker buses an hour. Virtually parallel to an existing road than could be upgraded for ~£40m. The 3rd lane is for maintenance. Of the road next to it. Bonkers.

If this doesn’t make you furious, nothing will. Imagine what could have been done with that money. Anyone who has ever driven down the A303 knew that all that was needed was a cut, and they spent ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE MILLION POUNDS of YOUR money doing eff all!
Moving Home with Charlie@moving_charlie

This is deeply symbolic of the British Bureaucracy sickness we are suffering from. £179m spent, for literally nothing. World class waste.

WHY THE FUCK IS DIESEL 25-30p DEARER THAN PETROL! Absolutely fucking ridiculous. I Remember when diesel was cheaper and everyone started buying diesel instead. Suddenly it became dearer than petrol, funny that isn’t it. Government and fuel suppliers are cunts!

@BenGrahamUK Come and behold the parking fees in Cambridge. Be prepared to sell an organ. You could use the P&R, often the buses are full and it’s no fun fighting your way on the EV P&R buses. If you’re disabled, only a few seats available without huge steps.

NCP has gone into administration. They’ve been running car parks since 1931, and somehow ended up £305m in debt. Surely the maintenance for a car park is simple: ticket machines, barriers, lights, and occasional cleaning. How can a business model literally based on people paying to park go bankrupt?

@BonkersBusway @vickihird Often wondered why councillors take what the officers say with absolute certainty. When the facts clearly dispute the reports, I’d hope they would question and push back.

@vickihird We think part of the problem is poorly conceived schemes badged “net zero”. Here councillors said felling hundreds of trees for a busway would move the county to net zero, the PI showed it’s a net emitter yet it’s still being pushed, undermining trust and souring the term.
