@ITVNewsPolitics He thinks if he keeps telling us he is acting in the nations interest, he'll get us to believe him. It's not going to happen. Not in a 1000 years. Actions speak louder than words.

Starmer declines to say whether his relationship with Trump is in 'tatters' but insists: 'I act in the British national interest and nothing, nothing, is going to deflect me from that'

@russellquirk @lienomail I'm completely astounded how many people I know (brainy people) are suddenly supporting the Greens. I'm also astounded that so many are supporting the Greens without reading their manifesto. They are literally a major national security risk.

This is Kate. She is a Green Party election candidate this May. Kate says we should ‘abolish all prisons’. Just imagine if she gets elected and gains power. The Greens are not environmentalists. They are anarchists and ideological fruitcakes.

The Government's new ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ definition will make it harder to talk about Islamist extremism, FGM, and the grooming gangs. They’d rather restrict our right to criticise than deal with these problems head-on.  It’s putting us all in danger.

@SBarrettBar That's exactly why we wanted brexit. We wanted competent politicians to be in charge of the country. Instead, we currently have every Tom, Dick and Harry in post. Or should I say every Starmer, Lammy, Reeves and Cooper in post.

"Labour to back down on foie gras and fur bans to ease EU trade deal" Live animal transport, animal testing, insects in food, and no BSE protections All because Labour can't run our country and want the EU to do it for them 👹🤡 theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

@bphillipsonMP There are working youngsters who CANNOT afford to have children because they are busy working their guts off to pay for other people's children. What you are doing is divisive and down-right nasty. @Conservatives @reformparty_uk

Today, as we deliver change, we remember politics is about choices. We choose a better life for our children, the Tories and Reform choose to condemn them to poverty. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

@RachelReevesMP Poverty for those who work their guts off and pay taxes is increasing. All you and your party care about is the welfare lot and criminals.

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Labour promised change. We are delivering change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Keir Starmer spent years telling us Brexit was an act of national self-harm. Now we know his cure: pay the EU £2.9 billion a year, permanently, so Brussels will let us trade with them again. He didn’t want to reverse Brexit through another referendum — that would require asking us. Instead he’s doing it quietly, through a “trade deal”, with our money and without our consent.

@SamanthaTaghoy Keep talking about it Samantha. It's vital!

Dear Ayesha Hazaraki, You think little girls getting raped is funny? Well, I was sexually abused from 5 years old. And it’s politicians like 𝙮𝙤𝙪 that are the reason little girls like me are still being raped, exploited and murdered across the country. In my hometown, those in power dismissed victims as 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙥𝙖𝙠𝙞 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨 and 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙨. They shamed and intimidated little girls like me into silence. They accused us of lying, or putting ourselves in risky situations, or even 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 to be raped. They stood by and did nothing while young girls were being brutally abused. And, as many other girls systematically groomed in Telford have testified, I was made to feel as though I was to blame. The system criminalised the victims, rather than going after the perpetrators. I remember being asked by a detective whether I “consented” at any point to sexual activity, and told by a social worker that “my actions had led me to where I was today”. All the while the Labour-led council tried to block an independent inquiry into CSE for years and their Council Leader (now the MP for Telford), along with 10 other powerful local men, even wrote a letter to the Home Secretary saying they felt an inquiry would unnecessary. In Rotherham, Rochdale and elsewhere, victims were continually swept aside by those in positions of power, as if they chose this lifestyle. The attitudes that social workers, local services, authorities had towards children was so skewed, and so deeply unprofessional. It broke me. And I spent years in silence because I thought I would somehow be judged or penalised for the abuse I had suffered. Because I had been conditioned to feel like I was somehow responsible for my own victimisation. The Telford scandal made headlines when it broke in 2015, then again when the Crowther Report was released in 2022. Yet, The news cycle moved on far too quickly. This isn’t a 60-second-and-then-done issue. For change to occur, there needs to be constant attention brought to this issue because, otherwise, silence and ignorance only serves to support the predators and the paedophiles. This is a crime that thrives on misinformation, on fears of “racism” and a lack of awareness, and on being swept under the rug. They rely on girls not being taken seriously, the media not caring and the police not taking any action to investigate. These are not crimes of the past. Kids are still being exploited, groomed, raped and even murdered in council estates like mine. It isn’t enough to have empty words and hollow promises. Child rape is not a joke. It is a national epidemic. But those in power like Ayesha Hazaraki refuse to address that fact for fear of being forced to confront their decades-long failure to protect young girls from abuse. It’s easier to ignore victims, especially when they come from communities, social classes or demographics that are already disenfranchised in Britain. And for those who do speak out, it feels like you are screaming at a brick wall that would rather label you as the problem than take you seriously. Our trauma isn’t a “dog-whistle” or a “trumpet” to blow against the Labour Party. It is the harrowing reality of the institutional blindness and contempt that allowed little girls to be sacrificed at the altar of political correctness, while politicians sneered and branded us troublemakers and attention-seekers for daring to want justice. Shame on Ayesha Hazaraki. Shame on Labour. Shame on all of them.

@KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk @conservatives I hope you watched this. Plenty of questions for Starmer for next #pmqs

@EULondonMark You're an absolute fool. Please indicate the Brexit disaster on the graph

Reminder: Lucy Connolly, a childminder and mother, got 31 months for 1 bad tweet and was denied bail. This vile paedo police officer got 16 months suspended. Justice?

Yeah I suddenly walked into a TV presenting job with the click of a finger… I worked in Sainsbury’s, for EDF Energy, the water board, call centres, all from age 17, just to get money. I didn’t care what job I did, I just needed to support myself. I said yes to everything, trusting that I’d one day get there and everything would work itself out. I didn’t turn down jobs because it wasn’t my field or what I wanted or dreamed of right that minute or think I was above anything or anyone. I had no money. I never went to uni. I saved hard for a £5,000 journalism course, I then worked like a dog at local newspapers (still on minimum wage) and at a bookmaker at the same time doing 20 hour days for years just to keep grinding. I spent more hard years commuting to London and back, doing graveyard shifts at papers then waiting at Blackfriars station at 3 in the morning to get home to Sussex and start my other job at 9am. It nearly killed me. For years. 16 years it took me to get here. And you know what? I loved it all. I loved the journey, I loved the dark moments asking myself if it was all worth it. I loved the wins. I loved the hard lessons. And I love what I’m doing now. Yes I have the best job in the world (for me) and I’m incredibly grateful. And I’m still grinding. I’ve just done 14 days straight, travelling to Texas, Florida, then DC. Doing a three hour show every night. But I recognise how fortunate I am. I always have, even when I was stacking shelves. I didn’t just turn up at a studio and start presenting. Most importantly I never played the victim.

“When measured in real terms, after Brexit total exports rose by more than 23 percent, from £735 billion in 2015 to £905 billion in 2025.” Post-Brexit, Britain is not only doing more trade, but diversification thereof means we’re less reliant on the EU. thecritic.co.uk/brexit-was-not…

ANDREW NEIL: We’re being run by a bunch of know-nothing numpties — and the Labour Party should be renamed the Welfare Party mol.im/a/15708293

@LonsdaleKeith @RichardTomo5 @Rosetti83700607 Labour manage to undo everything else, Rwanda being one example, dropped on day1 after GE Anything they want to continue, they blame the tories for starting it. They think we are fools who can't see their deception Exactly why @UKLabour & @Conservatives = The Uniparty.

@RichardTomo5 @Rosetti83700607 Theresa May set this in motion. It was in her original withdrawal agreement. Johnson removed it and quietly slipped it into the political statement, expecting less scrutiny. But joining the EDU remained a Tory committment. Labour are continuing down the road picked by the Tories.

Keir Starmer is quietly preparing Britain for EU military alignment. Not cooperation - alignment. That means decisions increasingly shaped in Brussels, not the UK. We did not vote to become a strategic subsidiary of the European Union. We voted to be a sovereign nation. Britain should lead on the global stage, not drift into an EU army. @_AdvanceUK

People forget that in the 1990s, Britain was the fourth biggest manufacturing economy in the world. Through the 1990s the number of jobs in manufacturing *increased*. From 1993 to 1998, British manufacturing employment increased from 4.1 million to 4.3 million. Not unrelatedly, across the same timespan, electricity prices dropped by 22%. Our manufacturing crisis today is above all an energy crisis.

It’s very easy in opposition @RachelReevesMP to make unfunded promises to con voters. Strange how all her promises before the GE have been dropped. She promised to:- Remove VAT from Energy Bills Knock £300 off Energy Bills Freeze Fuel Duty Freeze Council Tax No Tax Increases Compensate Waspi Women Like her boss @Keir_Starmer they just lie through their teeth to get elected.

African nations demanding slavery reparations need to put a sock in it. Many happily sold their own people into slavery, and remained willing participants in the trade long after it was abolished in the UK. Reparations are a scam, says Rakib Ehsan buff.ly/I2uA6TQ
