@Godisgreat202 @doqholliday The funniest thing is when I hear my boomer father say to me he worked hard and deserves for his 20 million portfolio. I asked him once “how did he personally make the property market increase his value?. No answer
English
If you're a boomer in your 60s and 70s and you own property and are well off but your children are struggling and can't even buy a home, what the hell are you doin?
Your time is over.
It's their time. Help them.
Be a good parent, do whatever it is you need to do... sell the house if you need to, give them some kickbacks to help buy their first home, etc.
Life is short. Be a good parent and don't squat on stuff that doesn't matter.
Give them their time.

I am deleting this tweet because the anti vaxxers make any discussion impossible. We do need to be aware of plastics & forever chemicals but clearly it impossible to raise these issue on X without being bombarded by references to sheep, waking up, at last etc.etc

I’ve read two articles in just one day on worrying levels of cancer in younger people. We have to start asking very serious questions about hormone disrupting chemicals and plastics in our environment. How many things do we bombard ourselves with that are totally unnecessary?

@TwoTierTruth @sophielouisecc @hats_ann It is a loop hole in the policy. One of many.
I blame the lawyers.
English
@sophielouisecc @hats_ann Guess who introduced the policy, Sophie? Thatcher in 1988. Hilarious, right? How come it took the Tories this long to say the bleeding obvious that it’s a ridiculous policy and should never have been implemented?

Husbands with second, third and even fourth wives living in the UK have had their benefits allowance increased by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Polygamy is illegal in the UK they should have their benefits stopped, not increased.
We shouldn’t be paying for this

@TwoTierTruth @BDakoo @BillyJamesonOM It is not the only support left is it? 40% of non voters is a hugely significant number.
It is also not a hard far right party because these policies were common sense 30 years ago so if anything the centre has moved left.
English
You assume Restore, or to be more precise its leadership, has any intention of doing what you suggest. I think and believe they came in under the guise of a hard right party to gain the only support left, since Reform had cornered the centre right. But Restore know you can’t win from that position and are now enacting the plan all along to tack to the centre right and peel off Reform's support base. Just my opinion of course.
English
Total bullshit reason.
You may not be allowed to discriminate within the party, and the party may be bound by equalities law in its conduct, there is NOTHING stopping you from advocating any change in policy, even if that policy would be discriminatory.
Saskia could’ve said “day one of the RupertReich we’re making everyone not 100% British stateless” and the EC wouldn’t care.
She could advocate making all foreigners pay ten times their current tax rate and they wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
The EC does not exist to police party policy.
Connor Tomlinson@Con_Tomlinson
Alright, here's what happened: Someone flagged Saskia's post on Friday, saying “Exactly what British politics should look like. White. British. Proud.” They were worried it would violate Electoral Commission guidelines or some frivolous Equalities law, if associated with a registered political party. So they rescinded her invitation. Staying quiet and not clarifying the situation has made things worse. Saskia deserves an apology from the person responsible for having her day wasted, spending ten hours sat on trains for nothing. But we all also have to be more precise with our rhetoric going forward, given the constraints we operate under in Britain's hostile political system. Britain is basically the Soviet Union, political parties are in a legal straightjacket. The state is looking for any excuse to sabotage the movement. Yes, British politics should be for British people. Yes, most British people happen to be white, just like most human beings have two legs. No, that doesn't mean we should be cruel to people of other heritages. But it means the law should be changed to allow only British people to vote and stand in elections. All basic common sense. And so rhetoric that sounds like race-based exclusion — which isn't Restore Britain policy — could provide an excuse for the authorities to use lawfare against the party. There is no ban on the phrase "Remigration". Reversing mass migration is Restore Britain policy. Elon Musk uses the term, and supports Restore Britain. I hope this clears things up. This shouldn't happen again.

@KiranR45863 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 Literally nothing you have written has convinced me in any shape or form that you are some wise sage.
English
@kwhitey13 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 Fine - that’s why you should leave the thinking to others. Just because you don’t know much doesn’t mean that it’s not true.
English
In Great Yarmouth, everything Reform campaigned on was negative - largely on the fact that voters should not 'split the vote'.
We ignored it all. We put forward our positive local vision, with policies that matter to local people, and we crushed them in every single seat.
There is a lesson here.
For far too long, British politics has been about who you shouldn't vote for. About who can keep who out.
When actually, if enough people vote for who they genuinely believe in? Stunning results are possible, as we saw last week.
So make no mistake - we made history.
It was a victory that was about far more than ten election wins out of ten.
We set an example.
We proved it can be done, we proved we can win.
Now the challenge is to take it national, and that has to be done through our flourishing branch network.
Within a few weeks, almost every parliamentary constituency will be covered which is quite remarkable.
I want to thank everybody involved - our internal team, the membership and the local branch organisation.
A team effort.
The hard work starts today for the elections next year, and of course the general election.
A very good start though.
English
@KiranR45863 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 Honestly. I don't think you have a scooby do.
It is a bit too much of a Walter Mitty vibe for me.
I do wish you well though.
English
@TwoTierTruth @kwhitey13 @RupertLowe10 I know Farage for the last 20 years. I can assure you that he does not give a monkeys about the working class. Never has and just follow the money trail that goes to him. Russia/America/Thailand he does not care. Thats all factual.
English
@KiranR45863 @kwhitey13 @RupertLowe10 I think that’s a more appropriate response to yourself than to me. You are clearly emotionally immature, but I do wish you the best. We’re not monsters on the right, just fed up.
English
@KiranR45863 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 I am confused.
I thought we started this debate because you said the problem was rich people?
English
@TwoTierTruth @kwhitey13 @RupertLowe10 No, it IS stupid to vote Brexit and think that meant that people with brown skin would be leaving. 🧐 People who think the world owes them a living but have done fuck all in their lives apart from scam/claim benefits and thinking others are the problem.
English
@KiranR45863 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 You can not call people stupid because they want something different to you. Poor attitude to take.
I can work anywhere in the world but my love for this Country and the people in it means far more to me than my accumulated possessions.
I am sure we will survive without you
English
@kwhitey13 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 As I said, stupid people who know nothing shouldn't vote, but that is the system. The sad thing is, people like me will leave - I can choose from 2 houses outside of the UK, will lose huge amounts of tax and the English will be EVEN poorer.
English
@TwoTierTruth @KiranR45863 @RupertLowe10 I agree wholeheartedly.
If Reform can carry on their progress and Restore can bring new voters back to the polling booths then to me it is a win win.
Strategically as we get nearer I am sure there will be a plan because both leaders are clear that the Country comes first.
English
So you're a lefty, okay. When you have to start your diatribe with another rich boy, you've already lost credibility. We should want and encourage wealth creation in this country as it creates the economic circumstances to help the most people simultaneously. But that aside, the biggest drain on resources for the majority of Brits is mass immigration and a welfare state. Too many people use too few resources and are in a doom loop of dependency, then seeking welfare to stay afloat, although more are abusing that safety net than ever. The right would encourage all to prosper, whereas the left says we must drag everyone down to whoever suffers most and make that the standard, which helps no one.
English
@KiranR45863 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 Conversations are designed so you can listen & accumulate knowledge on why a person decides to vote that way.
When you consider yourself so important that you know everything you just become a know all.
If you are poor then your vote is just as important as someone who is not
English
@kwhitey13 @TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 Another rich boy who claims to be anti-establishment wanting the poorest to vote for him, so he can blame the worlds ill on the others of equally poor backgrounds that they are to blame, rather than the rich boys who repeatedly scam the system. And you fell for it.
English
@TwoTierTruth @RupertLowe10 I like plain speaking. Lowe provides that.
You keep reiterating how Restore is of no consequence. If that is so then why are you here along with the other Reform activists?
It makes no sense unless you are concerned at the level of support for Restore.
Contradictory!
English
@RupertLowe10 Great Yarmouth was a UKIP heartland for years and one of the strongest Brexit areas in Britain (5th highest Leave vote). It’s hard right, anti establishment territory from way back. No surprise your splinter group won there in your own backyard on the one patch of ground where that message has always landed hardest.
The rest is pure tripe, positive local vision translates to the same old grievances. You literally split the right and still only won where you already dominate, yet claim to have made history and set an example for the nation. Ten council seats in a single deprived coastal town isn’t a national blueprint. The country isn’t your constituency. Nice spin though.

@MartinDochert12 @bluewezzie @garry_tynan The dot com bubble stagnated the economy in early 2000 and one of the solutions was for lenders to sell mortgages to people who could not afford them.
Nothing to do with Thatcher or Reagan as years after their exit.
English
@bluewezzie @garry_tynan No he didn’t, Thatcher & Reagan banking policies enabled American mortgage lenders and bankers to rake in huge bonuses selling sub prime mortgages.They parcelled the bad debt, sold it around the world causing the financial crisis. Brown & Darlingsaved it from being catastrophic.
English
Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling's solution to the global financial crisis saved the world from an absolute catastrophe you utter fuckwit.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK
Gordon Brown sold 395 tonnes of our gold reserves at the bottom of the market, and - stupidly - told the market in advance. Gold has since risen 1500% and the gold he sold would be worth £40 billion more today. Now Starmer brings him back as his Finance Envoy. A sick joke
English
@Tg_Moscow @luxemiaa An extremely long winded way of saying you are too lazy to help and to square that with yourself you create a narrative that absolves you of any responsibility.
English
And honestly, the bigger issue is boundaries. Why are you coming home from work exhausted and voluntarily playing wife at your ex’s family house in the first place? You set the standard yourself, then got offended when people expected you to continue.
People will only use you as much as you allow them to.
The humiliation didn’t start with the grandmother’s comment. It started when you kept trying to earn appreciation from people who already saw your effort as an obligation.
English
I once cooked dinner at my ex’s family’s house after getting home from work.
I made the entire meal, served everybody, and when we were done, I asked my ex to wash the dishes.
Before he could even respond, his grandmother jumped in to scold me.
She said I shouldn’t expect him to do dishes because he had worked all day.
I just looked at her for a second because I genuinely thought she was joking.
Then I said, “Oh right, the same place I also worked all day before I came home and cooked dinner for all of you.”
The room got very quiet.
My ex suddenly became extremely interested in the plates in front of him. His grandmother didn’t have much to say after that.
What amazed me was.......
English
@AdrianSage4 @The5th_estateUK @RightSideOfX My goodness you have been rambling for months about Restore.
If adding labels gives you a means to cope then so be it.
I don't engage with bad faith actors.
English
@kwhitey13 @The5th_estateUK @RightSideOfX Extreme right and left-wing parties have been trying to get these people out to vote since 1918, nothing has worked before. Restore's no different to any other far right party of yesterday. They'll have an initial surge, then fall into oblivion, sure as eggs are eggs
English
I’ve read Rupert Lowe’s post this morning and it just confirms to me that he’s totally unhinged and deranged. He’s still claiming he’s going to take Restore national and win the next general election, even after Reform’s massive success in local elections across Britain.
The reality is simple: the British public do not vote in mass for extreme‑right parties. It’s never happened in modern British politics. And despite Reform being more to the right than the Conservatives, Reform is not extreme — the policies actually attract support from right across the board. That’s why Reform is growing everywhere, from traditional Tory areas to the Red Wall and parts of Wales.
Restore will never get enough votes to form a government. At best, all they’ll do is hand the Greens seats in close constituencies by taking a few votes off Reform. That’s the only real impact they can have.
I also wonder how many people in Great Yarmouth who voted for Great Yarmouth First actually realise they basically voted for Restore. Nigel Farage has been fighting for Britain’s interests for over 35 years and genuinely cares about this country and its future.
Lowe, on the other hand, comes across as a complete con man, and his supporters just can’t see his real reasons for setting up Restore.
Hopefully this will wake most of his supporters up. Reform have all the policies to fix Britain and the experience as well as being government ready.
English
@AdrianSage4 @The5th_estateUK @RightSideOfX How on earth can you possibly know the reasons why approx 20 million people have not voted?
I don't hence why I stated 'untapped potential'.
The signs are that many align with Restore. That will play out whether you stamp your feet or not.
English
@kwhitey13 @The5th_estateUK @RightSideOfX So the 40% that for whatever reason, have never voted, you think you can get them to vote for the first time? Have you ever met this type of person? Obviously not, because if you had, you'd know that getting them to vote is harder than finding rocking horse shit!
English
@The5th_estateUK @RightSideOfX We have bigger fish to fry than taking a few votes from Reform.
The untapped potential is the 40% non voters.
English
@RightSideOfX Worried that in close constituencies Restore will help the Greens win seats in the general election by taking a few votes off Reform.

@rahhead01 @tpi50474 @lukejcr @Ritafle44 No. It is your opinion.

Gordon Brown has dedicated his life to fighting child poverty.
Reform UK’s big policy: pennies off pints, at the cost of pushing thousands of children into poverty.
