@NewsomeJudith It is indeed. The photo of his grave I used is over 10 years old & when I visited today ivy was creeping up on the stone which ruins them so I pulled it off. As it looked today.

James Amour, back shift Overman at New Hartley Colliery in January 1862. Trapped underground along with his 14 year old son & 197 others until they died from carbon monoxide poisoning. James held a prayer meeting underground whilst waiting to be rescued. We know this as he scratched details on a tin that was found with his body. This pre-1862 picture is one of the earliest if not the earliest photo known of a colliery official.

Really is getting embarrassing and quite frightening that a public owned media outlet is blatantly attacking the government on a daily basis, nothing about Reforms tax avoidance, Farage’s TikTok posts, Patel’s blocking of Andrew’s investigation or the Covid findings, shameful !!

@BenGrahamUK @man_of_Joe Exactly and where does the money go? Boris Johnson’s fantasy garden bridge over the Thames cost 80 million and not one brick was laid.

Britain is building HS2 at £150million–£200million per km. Compare that to: • China: £15m/km • Japan: £40m/km That’s not inflation. That’s not geography. We are paying up to 10x more for the same thing. That’s a system that can’t deliver infrastructure efficiently.

@jollybeggars I’m amazed the shop is still going as Regent Street was originally the commercial hub of the town but this is the last quality shop in the street out on its own, an oasis in the midst of a desert.

As I predicted in January, feeble Starmer is about to make THE WORST U-Turn of all time: allowing the low-skilled BORISWAVE to stay here PERMANENTLY & claim BILLIONS in benefits & housing Under pressure from his Loony Left MPs, the Muslim Vote & the Green Party, Starmer's now signalling he'll DROP the plan to extend Indefinite Leave to Remain eligibility from 5 yrs to 10 yrs This means that, from this year, the Boriswave will be allowed to stay permanently, costing the UK taxpayer billions - in fact, eventually TENS of BILLIONS. BORISWAVE: 4.8 MILLION people arrived in the UK btw 2021-2024. 7% of the UK pop. changed in just 3 years. This was the largest demographic shift in 1000 years The first ripple of the Boriswave already became eligible for permanent settlement & benefits two months ago (January). This is disastrous Starmer knows this and wished to extend Indefinite Leave to Remain eligibility from 5 to 10 years. However, so weak is he - and so beholden to sectarian votes - that he is being held hostage by the "Red-Green", Islamo-Leftist alliance. In addition, Starmer's open border comrades (i.e. immigration lawyers) are promising to block this extension in the courts. Let's be clear: the majority of the Boriswave are low-skilled, low-earning migrants from the third world / developing nations. Allowing them to stay in the UK will be an economic, social and cultural catastrophe. Up to 1.6 MILLION migrants could become eligible to stay in the UK permanently, with some estimates saying it is closer to 2.5 MILLION We know from the OBR etc. that this type of low-skilled migrant will end up costing the tax payer approx. £465,000 EACH if they live to 80 years. In the shorter term, at least 800,000 will immediately become eligible for benefits. The government - and any new government - must commit to blocking the Boriswave from settling in the UK If Starmer takes the knee to his radicals and grants the Boriswave ILR, a new government should ABOLISH Indefinite Leave to Remain as one of its first acts. Benefits should only go to British citizens. And eligibility for citizenship should be extended to 15 years. Link to my full monologue in the tweet below. Clip:👇 1/2

Check out the ten-year gilt yield this morning - after the UK's likely next Prime Minister tried to lecture international investors about the intricacies of fiscal policy and the UK's national accounts. A subject about which she clearly knows absolutely nothing. Nice one @AngelaRayner !!! Markets now demanding 4.9% per annum to lend money to the British government. In Morocco, it's 3.4%. And get this. In February 2026, the UK government a massive £14.3 billion - according to figures released this morning. No less than £13 billion of that money borrowed last month went on interest payments on existing debt. Think about that for one second - it's utterly insane. The UK's national accounts are now akin to a Ponzi scheme. And yet still, lunatic MPs and potential Prime Ministers call for ever more borrowing and spending - "because it's the right thing to do" Labour's chronic economic illiteracy and internal party-political posturing is driving the UK economy off a cliff ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

On BBC Question Time, @Helen_Whately just said ‘we can’t afford Net Zero’ . She is a human health hazard and grossly misinformed or lying . Time to call out the lunatics leading us to hell . No facts , no truth , no integrity - no hope.

@SkyNews @runews Sly News leaves out the important fact that Ukraine has blocked the oil pipeline to Hungary and secondly it isn’t a loan as Ukraine will never pay it back but the EU tax payers certainly will.

Kemi Badenoch's decision to throw her weight behind Nick Timothy is a defining moment. The Tory party under her leadership is a cesspit of Islamophobic hatred and racist bigotry. My new column for Middle East Eye: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

@ClarkeMicah I’ve known for years this is not an independent nuclear deterrent so thank you for calling it out as it is. Secondly the two most recent test firings have failed. Unbelievable isn’t it?

France’s Macron has it right. To be free you must be feared. To be feared you must be strong. So France’s nuclear weapons are truly independent. So should Britain’s be. But they’re not dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

“When Denmark cut the amount of welfare that asylum seekers could access, the amount of asylum applications went down by 71%.” “These people are not coming to your country because they're getting persecuted. They're coming for your tax money.”
