Perhaps but what’s his hand up there for in the 1st place, stupid defending

But….

Just like Ireland. Police Scotland at Aberdeen Mosque and Islamic Centre encouraging Muslims to report illegal migrant hotel protesters for "Non Crime Hate Incidents". Traitors everywhere.

🚨ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ILLEGAL MIGRANTS GATHER AT MOROCCO BORDER READY TO CROSS OVER TO SPAIN This follows the leftist Spanish Government's plan to allow HALF A MILLION illegal migrants have a right to remain and vote Absolute INSANITY Spain is lost 🇪🇸

In 1943, Black American soldiers arrived in Lancashire.🇬🇧🇺🇸 Back home, they couldn't eat in the same restaurants as white people. Couldn't drink in the same bars. The locals didn't care about any of that. They said come in. Same pubs. Same pints. Same welcome as everyone else. They danced together. Drank together. Walked through the village together. One soldier said he didn't know he was coloured until he looked in the mirror. Then the US commanders tried to stop it. They demanded the village separate them. Every pub refused. A barmaid called Gillian Vesey served whoever was next. No exceptions. Military police walked into a pub and tried to arrest a soldier for wearing the wrong uniform. A British soldier stood up. "Why do you want to arrest them? They're not doing anything wrong." That night, things turned violent. A soldier was killed. The commanding general blamed the white officers. Racist officers were removed. The soldiers went home. But they carried something with them. The memory of a place that treated them like people. One veteran said: "These soldiers were never going back to accept being treated as less." "None of us were." A small Lancashire village showed them what was possible. Not by marching. Not by protesting. Just by being decent. They didn't think they were being brave. They were just being British.🇬🇧 This is who we are. Help us show the world. proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

.@KemiBadenoch has said everything that needs saying about the Peter Mandelson scandal. I have nothing to add on the particulars. What fascinates me is what the scandal reveals about the party that created it. In the span of eighteen months, Labour has managed to debunk every claim it ever made about itself. Not just the claims from opposition - the claims from its entire history. This was meant to be the party of working people. It has become the party of transfer payments, funnelling money from those who work to those who don't, too often under false pretences, too often when contribution should be expected. This was meant to be the party of service, the opposite of sleaze - Keir Starmer's own framing. And now we have MPs under investigation for corruption, for rental fraud, for punching constituents. Perhaps "sleaze" is too narrow a word. They positioned themselves as unicorns with swords, some fantasy of political purity. In practice, there is nothing. They promised to smash the Channel gangs. The gangs remain, unsmashed, barely even inconvenienced. They promised immigration reform. The home secretary's proposals will face backbench revolt before they reach a vote, with a 99.9% guarantee. They added VAT to private school fees and promised the revenue would fund new teachers. The teachers were never hired. The pattern is consistent: announce, fail, move on. Or U-turn, on occasion. What Labour has become is a party of factions, and not the interesting kind. They are trying to hold together Muslim sectarians, unreconstructed socialists, and managerial centrists who believe in nothing except being in charge. These factions have almost opposite agendas. The only legislation that passes is what falls into the narrow overlap - mostly, taking money from those who build wealth and giving it to those who refuse to. The exception proves the rule. Wes Streeting's NHS reforms are sensible, technocratic, overdue. They pass because no faction has a reason to block them. Everything else stalls or collapses. I say this not with satisfaction but with something closer to pity. Despite being a member of @Conservatives, I believe British democracy needs a functioning centre-left. It needs a Labour Party that can win, govern, and - within its own values - make decent choices. I would disagree with many of those choices. But I would respect a party capable of making them. The great Labour figures of the past - the ones who built the NHS, who governed with seriousness - deserve better successors than this. When Conservatives speak of those figures with reverence, I believe that reverence. It is not partisan theatre. It is recognition that democracy requires worthy opponents. What Starmer and his government have shown, in their lack of leadership, their evasion at PMQs, their administrative chaos, is that they came to power without any intention of making Britain better. They came with grudges, with a revenge agenda, with factional scores to settle. Social classism and resentment turned out to be the only common ground they had. The Mandelson appointment is a symptom. It is probably the symptom that affects our lives least - embarrassing, yes, but peripheral. The disease is deeper. If anyone is breaking Britain right now, it is this party. Not because they are malicious (at least not most of them). Because they have no resolve to do otherwise.

There's a line every Chancellor knows they cannot cross: you do not invent a crisis to plunder the public purse. Rachel Reeves didn't cross the line – she erased it. The facts are clear. On 31 October, the OBR told her she had £4.2 billion of headroom. No black hole. No fiscal cliff. No looming disaster. Yet on 4 November she strode out and spoke as if Britain were teetering on collapse, as if some unseen storm had torn through the nation's books. She talked of "difficult choices," of "consequences," of a shortfall she knew was fiction. That wasn't a slip of the tongue. It was a deliberate lie. She didn't raise taxes because she had to. She raised them because she wanted to. She froze thresholds, dragged almost a million more people into higher-rate tax, and cooked up the biggest stealth raid in modern times. All of it hidden behind a phantom crisis. The black hole was political theatre, designed to shield a welfare splurge aimed at pacifying Labour's restless backbenches. The story of a collapsing budget was nothing more than an alibi, and a clumsy one at that. Once you strip away the noise, the truth is plain: Reeves lied to the public so she could tighten her grip on their money. She even blamed Brexit, the Tories, inflation, global instability – anything except her own choices. And when the OBR published the timeline that exposed her, the Treasury lashed out, accusing the watchdog of breaching some sacred "private space." It was an act of panic. The OBR didn't breach anything. It blew the whistle. The only thing the Treasury wanted to protect was the lie. A Chancellor's authority rests on trust. She signs off every tax a family pays. She shapes the numbers that steer the markets. When that figure misleads the country about the state of its finances, the entire system is tainted. Every forecast becomes suspect. Every Budget becomes theatre. Every future tax rise is greeted with the question she fears most: what are you hiding this time? You cannot run a credible economy when the Chancellor has debased her own currency – the truth. Even Labour MPs can see it. Graham Stringer says the whole justification for the pain has melted away "like snow on a spring day." Others mutter that "it all looks a bit odd." When your own side begins edging away from you, the dam has already cracked. Kemi Badenoch is right to call for her resignation. Mel Stride is right to say she misled the country. And the public – those who will now pay more on their wages, their savings, their pensions, their fuel – can see the pattern for what it is. This isn't a one-off error. It is the first real glimpse of how this government works: panic the country, raid its pockets, and hope no one spots the join. Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice. A free people cannot accept that. A country built on plain dealing cannot live under a Chancellor who treats truth as a prop and the public as marks. Reeves should resign because the office she holds demands honesty, not stagecraft. And because a nation cannot build a future on a lie. "Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice."

For months Labour told us the North Sea drilling ban was “non-negotiable.”   @Conservatives called for the ban to be lifted. Fellow critics of the ban were dismissed and warnings ignored.   Now, days before their conference, Ed Miliband is scrambling for a U-turn.   Why?   Because reality bites.   ➡️ The unions know it. The GMB called the policy “absolute madness.” ➡️ The workers know it. Jobs are vanishing as investment flees. ➡️ Families know it. Less tax revenue to spend on public services, greater dependence on foreign imports.   This is exactly what I warned would happen.   Blocking exploration in the North Sea was never a green strategy, it was economic self-sabotage. You don’t protect the planet by exporting jobs, cutting tax revenues, and relying on regimes abroad for our energy. Right now we are importing oil and gas from abroad whilst banning our own extractions…it’s madness.   So, it is no surprise Labour are now admitting what Conservatives have been saying since this was introduced.   The real question is how much damage has already been done by clinging to ideology over common sense.

• Trolley collectors • Bingo hall managers • DEI officers All of these are actually on the UK’s Skilled Worker visa list. The government are laughing at you when they say they are trying to reduce migration. Laughing in your face.

@KEdge23 Or as a condom machine in a convent

Is there anything Keir Starmer and Labour get right? They’re as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Renewable sources accounted for 47% of electricity generated in Germany in the first three months of this year. That’s down from 56% in the first three months of 2024, even though Germany continued to increase its renewable capacity, adding 872 wind turbines with a capacity of 4.3 gigawatts since last April. So why did wind-power output fall 16%? Simples. It doesn’t matter how many turbines you have if there’s a dunkelflaute ie the wind isn’t blowing, as it didn’t for much of the early months of 2025. This has at last dawned on Germans, where the new coalition Government will build 20 gigawatts of natural-gas-fired power generation by 2030 to provide stable base power. There are no equivalent plans in Britain. For two decades now Germany has followed the most bonkers energy policies in Europe. That accolade now belongs to the UK, under Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s tender care.

The internet never forgets. Don’t let these people either. They stood on the side of insanity and nothing they now do or say is going to erase that.

The media has created a world that doesn’t exist so the government doesn’t have to deal with what’s really going on

Britain's last gas wells are to be concreted in, meaning that even in the event of war the energy could not be used. @RobertJenrick recalls the vital part land oil wells played in securing victory for the Allies in World War Two as Brits fume over a "short-sighted" decision.

Patrick Christys with a few more individual cases of migrant madness. Still don't want mass deportations?? 🙄

I've reposted this for obvious reasons and I'd politely request it's reposted! Thank you. @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP
