Danny Tommo@RealDannyTommo·
Most of you will already realise that something very bizarre happened. They have the worry of terrorism because it was used on an ex-MP; they needed something to put you off the scent. These lads did nothing and had 0% intention of hurting anyone. This was a police stunt using our terrorism laws against patriots investigating a very bizarre gathering of adult men in their thousands in the middle of the countryside. I think that’s a legitimate question. Can you imagine if this was a patriotic gathering in the tens of thousands? What would the left be saying? Our politics is currently very murky, and the way they are using our police forces against us is one of the biggest injustices this country has ever seen against law-abiding citizens who want to expose the realities we are facing in this nation. No one in their right mind can say things are better now than 60 years ago. The fabric and foundations of our country are changing at monumental speed, and there are millions of British citizens who want to know why. @Keir_Starmer is a Wanker!

Disgraceful decision and disgraceful article. His name was Wayne Broadhurst and he was brutally murdered by an Afghan illegal migrant who lied to get into this country. Say his name @BBCNews. I’m gutted for the family who wanted murder charge. Khan can keep posing for cameras and launching his latest PR stunt. His first duty is to keep Londoners safe, and on his watch too many people are being stabbed to death in their own city. And he keeps telling us London is the safest it’s ever been.

As we learn Ann’s murder WAS politically motivated, The Times has revealed the scale of the threat to Nigel’s life. Nigel has received 1,577 threats since February this year. Including 597 death threats. The most persistent individual targeting Farage sent 6 directed threats to him on Facebook between June 24 and July 6, including a message telling him to “get the f*** out of Wales before I just kill Nigel Farage … you can die at any f***ing moment.” Another individual posted on X last month saying: “Execute the striking Traitor Nigel Farage. TODAY,” followed by two further escalating posts within eight hours. A third individual wrote on X: “Can someone shoot Nigel Farage? Make him a self-fulfilling prophecy?” All the ‘journalists’ and MPs who attack him for accepting a gift to fund his security should hang their heads in shame. The government still provides him with no security. They did for a short while after the general election. Then - astonishingly - they cut it by 75% within weeks of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and sent David Lammy out to say Nigel “flirted with the Hitler Youth”. Reform stepped in to provide him with a detail of the original size, appropriate to the enormous threat. The establishment doesn’t want Nigel to have the required security for a reason. They incite violence against him for a reason. It’s exactly what it looks like.

Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you!❤️

The control room engineers at the NESO balance Britain’s electricity supply and demand. If they don’t get it right, the lights go out and people die. This is, in part, why I have been approached by multiple whistleblowers from within NESO who are concerned that it is getting harder to keep the lights on in Britain. Few things can be more serious. As we saw in last year’s Iberian blackout, without electricity, people die. The allegations made to me are threefold. First, on 23 June, NESO failed to meet standards on constraints and reserves put in place to prevent blackouts. Second, the Corporate Affairs team interfered with operational decisions, prioritising NESO's reputation over security of supply. And third, operational decisions are being kept in ‘live documents’ with no audit trail, therefore preventing them from being accessed for Freedom of Information requests. It is undeniable that the system is becoming harder to balance. And yet, as of Monday, NESO launched an investigation into allegations of bad record-keeping and interference from their PR team, but it will not include whether control room operators think the system is being run securely. I understand that at an all-staff meeting yesterday, Fintan Slye, NESO’s Chief Executive, said “my” allegations were false. The problem is that these are not my allegations – they are the allegations of his own staff. If this remark was indeed said, it would be an extraordinary prejudgment of the whistleblowers’ concerns and would potentially deter other people from coming forward. Ed Miliband and his ministers, in a grotesque show of complacency, dismissed me as “scaremongering”. Ofgem, the regulator responsible for monitoring NESO, are seemingly fine taking a backseat role. As for NESO, their reaction has been to tell staff, who are so worried they have resorted to whistleblowing, that their concerns are false – rather than to seriously consider whether they have a problem. And who will be to blame if it all goes wrong? I fear in the court of public opinion it will be the control room operators, who do an enormous and increasingly difficult service for our country. That’s why I am fighting their corner now. They deserve to be listened to and to have their worries addressed. I can assure them I will not stop until that happens.

Today Labour’s Gibraltar surrender deal - announced today with no debate - has once again undermined British sovereignty, repeating the mistakes of the Windsor Framework and the Chagos debacle. The terms of the deal are shocking: Spanish officials will now conduct border checks within Gibraltar. Spain can withdraw individuals’ residency in Gibraltar, even if they already live there. Goods sold in Gibraltar must comply with EU regulations. Gibraltar is now subject to a new ‘transaction tax’ to align it with the EU. And Gibraltar must adopt new EU laws or the agreement will automatically be terminated. The practical effect is that foreign officials will decide who and what can enter British territory. British citizens’ fingerprints will be taken and passports checked within our own territory. At the same time, Spain has conceded nothing about its claim to Gibraltar. No self-respecting British government should be willing to accept this. To make matters worse, Parliament and the British public have only seen the final text of this deal today, but it takes effect tomorrow. Labour have shut us out of this process and are avoiding scrutiny. A Reform Government will stand up for our national interest and overturn this one-sided, disgraceful deal. There can be no shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is British, not Spanish, and that is how it must remain. This is not up for negotiation or dilution by a thousand individual concessions. And there must be no border between Gibraltar and the United Kingdom. Spanish or EU border and customs officials must not be allowed to operate in Gibraltar, or have a say in who and what can enter our territory. Border security cannot be built on conceding control to a foreign government. gov.uk/government/col…

Oh Amnesty. How far you have fallen. Amnesty International UK compiled an “anti rights”list. And not one Islamic organisation appeared on it. Not one. But Christian organisations were, including the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, as well as the Catholic Medical Association and the Catholic Herald. This is globalist blatant anti Christian prejudice, where mainstream Christian belief is treated as dangerous (seriously) Amnesty then deleted the report when people noticed obvs … but the internet never forgets.

Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org
Trans Widows’ Voices.@transwidows

Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira’s Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it’s a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do not have the same power or influence to defend ourselves

Dame Andrea Jenkyns DBE 🇬🇧
Well said @AllisonPearson Also, When Jo Cox was brutally murdered, the PM, speaker and opposition leader laid flowers the next day in her memory. This wasn't deemed political, it was actually the right thing to do. I remember it well, I laid flowers too, she was my neighbouring MP. Nigel, Reform and those who loved Ann, should be left to mourn in peace, without these political attacks.

Why was Roger Widdecombe standing next to Nigel Farage during the eulogy you, Dan, claim Ann’s family didn’t want? It’s a lie. Plus Ann’s political family and friends have every right to mourn her savage loss as they see fit.

BREAKING A Conservative attempt to force a vote on extending Parliament’s sitting to Monday so that the Commons can scrutinise Andy Burnham’s government has been cancelled. The planned Opposition Day debate tomorrow would have seen the Tories forcing a vote on the Commons sitting for an extra day. But it has been replaced with a different debate by Labour whips. Tories point out Boris Johnson faced MPs for one day before the summer recess when he was made PM in 2019. Instead MPs will break for a six week summer holiday on Thursday. More at @GBNEWS.

This is absolutely outrageous. It looks like Lib Dem led Portsmouth City Council are removing England flags from people who are putting them up for the World Cup. If that's not bad enough, they just walk off with it. That's theft! Absolute disgrace!

The Free Speech Union@SpeechUnion·
Politicians experience the effects of robust speech personally, and arguably that has been most evident among the ministers in this Government. Lisa Nandy flounced off X, citing rising levels of abuse and the spread of “misinformation”. Despite being the Secretary of State responsible for the media, she chose to leave the platform rather than engage in debate or challenge what she regards as misinformation and disinformation. Her department, DCMS, has also published a Green Paper, Watch this Space, which proposes requiring social media platforms to give greater prominence to public service broadcasters such as the BBC, which it regards as “trustworthy”, while downgrading other outlets. Lucy Powell is also proposing stricter regulations for social media platforms such as X and Facebook that would effectively police open political debate during election periods by treating private citizens like broadcasters. The Online Safety Act is the biggest legislative weapon yet used to restrict free speech online. Read more from @jamespriceglos in @TheCriticMag 👇

The “hate” against Reform has been propagated by Ed Davey, David Lammy (“Nazis”), Keir Starmer and every MP in the Commons who jeers and drowns out Farage when he tries to speak. The entire political and media class has blood on its hands.
Lucy Powell MP@LucyMPowell

Earlier today I paid tribute to Ann Widdecombe, called for more civility in political debate and for further action to tackle hate propagated online.

Safe Schools Alliance@SafeSchools_UK

We were also libelled alongside @jk_rowling’s @beirasplace in this poorly researched & defamatory hit piece from disgraced former human rights charity @amnesty. Firstly amnesty clearly know nothing about our group as they listed us a ‘gender critical’ group. We are not. We are a child #safeguarding group. If Amnesty feel that standing up for child protection is ‘anti rights’ then we have a lot of questions regarding exactly what ‘rights’ Amnesty are advocating for. We are aware that many people object to effective child safeguarding & that those that do will resort to slurs & name calling. This is nothing new & is to be expected. We are not affiliated to any other group named in Amnesty’s disgraceful ‘briefing review’. Some of the other organisations we have never heard of. Those that we have heard of our understanding is that they campaign on issues such as women’s rights, Gay rights, Lesbian rights, free speech or like ourselves child protection. Hardly issues that any sensible person could interpret as ‘anti rights’. We hope that one of the larger groups will be taking legal action. The @ChtyCommission should also investigate but based on past experience we do not hold out much hope. Once again when a child safeguarding organisation is being attacked & libelled like this it is further evidence that a #PublicInquiry is needed into the infiltration of safeguarding. There are widespread systemic failures & public & professional understanding of what effective safeguarding actually entails is currently extremely poor. The biggest right children have is the right to be protected by the adults in their society, particularly their parents. #RestoreSafeguarding #Edutwitter #WomenEd

This is just so shocking I don’t recall the BBC allowing anyone on their programme a few days after the terrible murder of Jo Cox to criticise her political or religious views
JARDINE@oJARDINEo

Wow. #PoliticsLive discusses Ann Widdecombe’s murder case & chose to feature @DazeAghaji smearing her. The killer still hasn't been prosecuted, yet the BBC gives airtime to attacks on the victim. Utterly shameful. This fat jabba the hut looking cretin needs deporting.

Translation: oops, didn’t realise people outside our ideological bubble are THIS pissed off about the loss of sex-based rights. We remain implacably opposed to any organisation fighting to retain them, but shove in the words ‘rights of women’ to keep the bigots happy.
