@h_swanson1 @MattHMajn @Nigel_Farage You can vote reform and Greens can win. You realise that right?

@MattHMajn @Nigel_Farage It’s not punitive. If you think it is then you must be a far right racist.

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

@ScousePete1986 @Nigel_Farage @andywigmore Right. You do know you could vote reform but the greens could win the constituency?

@Nigel_Farage @andywigmore To be fair That’s pretty fucking clever 😂

@Nigel_Farage So if I vote reform but Greens win the constituency you're going to 'stick it to me'? But you say in the tweet if I vote reform this won't be the case. Pretty confusing TBH

@Dominos_UK Excellent trolling.

why are the boxes square when the pizzas are round? makes you think

@NickosTheGr33k @chatswithem I live in a village which goes from 60 to 40 and then 30 as you enter the village. It should be 20. There are kids out on bikes with parked cars on the road that can just squeeze another car through. 30 mph looks dangerous. Slow the f down

@chatswithem These mixed in with a 20mph zone is my idea of hell 🤣 I only agree with 20 mph zones outsides schools.

Can anyone tell me WTAf these stupid bollards are supposed to do other than piss off drivers and make more hazards? Just more idiocy in this clown country

@iAmJoshHunt Sorry Josh. You can't say 'it was cited in Hansard' and claim that to be a fact. I'm not saying it isn't but that isn't proof of anything at all.

This one will require a stiff drink. In the early 1990s, the government came up with a clever idea. Instead of borrowing money cheaply to build hospitals, schools, and roads, it would get the private sector to build them and then pay the private sector back over 25 to 30 years. The Private Finance Initiative. PFI. The attraction was obvious. You got a shiny new hospital today. The bill didn't show up on the government's books. The cost was deferred into the future. Politicians got ribbon-cutting ceremonies without the awkward conversation about borrowing. It was, in effect, the nation's credit card. Buy now, pay later. Except the interest rate was extraordinary. The total capital value of everything built under PFI was around £50 billion. As of March 2024, there were 665 PFI contracts still running across the UK, with roughly £136 billion in remaining payments stretching out to the early 2050s. These are payments public bodies are contractually locked into. Hospitals, schools, councils, government departments. Paying for buildings that in many cases were constructed twenty or thirty years ago. And the terms are extraordinary. PFI contracts were structured so the private sector would not just build the facility but manage its services. Cleaning. Maintenance. Catering. Portering. These services are bundled into long-term contracts with built-in inflation increases that the public sector cannot renegotiate, cannot exit without paying massive penalties, and often cannot even fully scrutinise because of commercial confidentiality clauses. In one case raised in Parliament, a hospital was charged £333 to change a lightbulb. That isn't an urban myth. It was cited in Hansard. The NHS has been hit hardest. According to parliamentary analysis, the capital cost of NHS PFI projects was around £13 billion. The total repayments are estimated at around £80 billion. And the peak of NHS PFI annual repayments isn't even here yet. It arrives in 2029. The bills are still going up. In 2020-21, NHS trusts paid £457 million purely in interest charges on PFI contracts. Not services. Not maintenance. Interest. In the last five years, NHS trusts have handed over more than £1.8 billion in PFI interest alone. We Own It calculates that money would have covered the starting salaries of over 50,000 new doctors. One NHS trust, Essex Partnership, has reportedly paid back 27 times what was originally borrowed. Some hospitals are spending more on PFI repayments than on medicines for patients. And remember, these repayments come out of the same NHS budget that's supposed to fund patient care, staff, and equipment. Scotland got it just as badly. Audit Scotland reported that Scottish taxpayers will pay a cumulative £40 billion for PFI assets worth just £9 billion. North Ayrshire Council will have paid £440 million by 2038 for four schools that cost £83 million to build. Now here's what makes this worse. Many of these contracts are starting to expire. The buildings are being handed back to the public sector. And the NAO has warned of significant risks around the handback process, including cases where public bodies were dissatisfied with the condition of assets being returned to them. Decades of payments. And some of these buildings may come back needing significant further investment. So what actually happened? The government could have borrowed money at significantly lower rates to build these hospitals and schools itself. Sovereign borrowing has always been cheaper than private finance. Instead, it paid the private sector to borrow at a premium and passed the inflated cost on to the taxpayer. The private sector took the profit. The taxpayer took the risk. The buildings are now ageing. The debts are still being paid. And the services that were supposed to benefit are being squeezed partly because so much of their budget is locked into contractual obligations they cannot escape. PFI wasn't investment. It was an accounting trick. A way for governments to build things without the borrowing showing up in the national debt figures. It made politicians look fiscally responsible while loading future generations with obligations they had no say in and no ability to renegotiate. Both parties did this. The Conservatives created PFI in 1992. Labour massively expanded it after 1997. More than 700 projects were signed. The coalition eventually wound it down. The current government scrapped the latest version. But the contracts remain. The payments continue. And the damage is already done. This is what it looks like when a country chooses to buy its infrastructure on hire purchase instead of investing properly. You lock in above-market rates for decades. You lose control of the assets. You tie the hands of future governments. And when the bill keeps coming due, you're told there's no money for doctors, teachers, or social care. There was always money. It just went somewhere else.

@DominicHailsto1 @Gadget440 It's important to try and understand the enemy. In all cases.

@Gadget440 Yet you can't stop watching.

Andrew Tate uploaded a video coping, saying there is no such thing as dead beat dads, ranting about how all absent fathers do it because the woman won't "shut the f*** up." His own father was a violent absent father who did not provide for the family, according to his own public statements. Further proof that anyone who goes to this clown for advice is lost - this is a man who needed therapy decades ago.

@Zippy91 @solipsismmusic @GregBaldwinIroh Correct

@solipsismmusic @GregBaldwinIroh Best baked beans are these by far. Aldi Baked Beans

British blokes…. I’ve purchased several “tins” of Heinz (British) beans because the idea of beans on toast intrigues me. I eagerly anticipate a tasting. Other than toasting bread and heating beans… Are there any other steps/ingredients?

@RupertLowe10 Imagine actually thinking this would be 'very simple'. JFC what a dumbass

Restore Britain has a very simple policy to clean up the increasing piles of filth that are strewn across the British countryside. A healthy Brit on benefits would have a short period of time to find work in their chosen field. If they fail, they will be made to work for their benefits. There are millions of healthy Brits who are physically capable of picking up litter and rubbish. So that's exactly what Restore Britain would have them doing. If they refuse? They will lose their benefits. It is that simple. Work, or go hungry. I am sick and tired of seeing our countryside used as a dumping ground. It increasingly resembles the third world - it is that bad. I honestly detest it so much. This is our country. It is our home. It is not a bin. Restore Britain would use every tool available to clean up our home. And, yes, that would include prosecution for fly-tippers - prison time. Deportation for any foreigners involved. I want a Britain that isn't plastered in energy drink cans, crisp packets, discarded vapes or whatever else. What an awful example we are setting for children, for them to see this crap and think it's acceptable. It is NOT. If you want to clean up our countryside, vote Restore Britain.

@Maca0716 @GriftReport Really? You know there's no clutch right? So evidently not the same.

@GriftReport The accelerator and brake peddles are the same as any other vehicle. He’s just a fucking idiot.

A van driver who killed a gifted university student after driving into her while she sat on a bench outside King's College London has been jailed for eight years. The student from Mitcham, south London, was in her second year studying physics and philosophy with hopes of being an engineer, and was described by her mother, Samira Shafi, as 'the most amazing daughter'. The van driver - who had never driven an electric vehicle before - rammed into an iron gate, mounted a flower bed and briefly flew in the air before colliding with Ms Mahomed. Fellow students Irem Yoldas, 28, and Yamin Belmessous, 24, were injured in the crash. Christopher Jackson, 27, from Southampton, was jailed for eight years at the Old Bailey last week after previously pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

@RupertLowe10 'Wilfully wasting'. Love to see the law around that. These guys

If public officials are found committing fraud or wilfully wasting billions of our money, they should go to prison. I told the most senior ministry of defence civil servants exactly that.

@ZiaYusufUK How even? Can I wear a scarf in winter and have it pulled up over my mouth and nose? That's now going to be illegal?

A Reform government will ban all face coverings in public places.

@KemiBadenoch Where was this video 6 or 12 months ago. Or when you lot were running things? Just a political opportunist with zero foresight

My plan to use welfare savings to boost the number of troops👇

@GeorgeTrefgarne Mate, come on

@RupertLowe10 Working class who vote for this lot shouldn't start crying when there is no longer free at point of use health care. The one true benefit still available to all in this country. When you are bankrupted following cancer treatment please don't complain. You'll just have to crack on

Inflation is the tax that makes all of us poorer. It makes your food shop more expensive, clothes more expensive, fuel more expensive. Everything. It impoverishes the British people. This is not random. This is not accidental. This is not irreversible. It is the direct result of government choices. When the state grows too large, spends too much, borrows too much and taxes too much, the value of our money is steadily eroded. This is not complicated. Prices rise, and savings are punished. Wages fall behind, and the country becomes poorer. Ordinary British men and women feel worse off even if they are working harder than ever. With those on the lowest wages suffering the most. The economy is failing those who work hard and contribute, yet feel less and less reward. I detest it. For decades, politicians have tried to pretend there are complicated solutions to this problem. There aren’t. There are straightforward solutions. That doesn’t mean they’re painless, but they are straightforward. So far, no political party has had the courage to outline the way forward. We will. Restore Britain will. If you want to bring inflation down and keep it down, you must radically shrink the size of the state. This is non-negotiable. Government spending drives inflation, endless borrowing drives inflation, constant intervention in the economy drives inflation. And when the state grows larger and larger, it must fund itself through either taxation, borrowing or money creation. All three ultimately push prices higher. It makes your money worth less. It makes your food shop more expensive. It is that simple. If the state prints billions and billions (Quantitative Easing) , what happens to the existing money? It all becomes worth less. This is so painfully obvious. Yet what does the state do? Cheered on by gopher politicians? Print, print and print some more. A Restore Britain would do the five following things, brutally and rapidly. - Drastically cut Government spending. - Radically reduce tax. - Brutalise the size of the state. - Ensure that the country lives within its means. - Ban money printing (QE), without explicit parliamentary approval. Is this a painless process? No. It is not. I am not going to tell you otherwise. It will be painful, it will be difficult. There will be immense cuts. I am simply being honest with you all. But it is necessary. It is the only way. When you allow businesses to grow, allow people to keep more of their own money and remove the bureaucratic dead weight suffocating the economy, production increases. More goods are produced, more services are delivered, and prices stabilise. A smaller state means a stronger economy, and a stronger economy means stable prices. Inflation is kept under control. For too long Britain has gone in completely the opposite direction. Taxes are at record highs, the state is larger than ever, and inflation has punished every household in the country. Every single one. Nobody has been exempt. But it is the poorest who suffer the most, and that is simply unacceptable. Restore Britain will reverse that. You cannot tax, borrow and spend your way to stable prices. You cannot regulate your way for lower inflation. A small responsible state puts the people, not itself, first. What do we have? A state that now taxes, wastes and then misappropriates. The only real path to low inflation is a smaller state and a freer economy. That leads to a richer people. That leads to a cheaper food shop. A cheaper pint. A cheaper tank of fuel. That is Restore Britain’s aim. If you want the Government out of your lives, and more of your own money in your pocket, with that money worth more? There is a political party willing to take the painful steps to deliver that. Restore Britain.

@alexklaushofer @MorningFromNbr1 So why the F are you stood there watching it happen if you really believe it? Go and live somewhere else using your 'survival instincts'

@MorningFromNbr1 Yes, in London there's been heavy spraying since dawn (eased off in the past hour). People seem to lack both situational awareness and healthy survival instincts.

Just walked out my house and see this How can anyone justify or believe these are just water vapour and not Chemtrails ? This has to stop, people have no idea what this is that they're spraying over us all..

@ArmchairAdml Surely 'misc' is status. Is this your spreadsheet or from the navy? Might explain a few things.

British overseas territory is attacked, and this is the state of the navy… Christ.

🧵regarding Lord of the Rings - related traumatic injuries, and whether access to modern Level 1 trauma centers could have decreased morbidity and mortality within the Fellowship. Here we will take a more evidence-based approach to some of the injuries in Middle Earth (1/ )

@_TheGMan @FUDdaily Is the approach to foreign aid the entire 'offer' to the public on foreign policy? Yet we have grandpa Rupe today setting out that we will not support US attacks on Iran. So there is an approach but nothing in the party launch literature? Clear as mud.

@FUDdaily Are you going to tell us that scrapping foreign aid has a myriad of consequences and that we should just keep sending it over as its not worth the fight?

Restore doesn't have a foreign policy at all.

@LeilaniDowding What disease?

@_five_by_five The diseases they carry are

Insane and completely engineered..
