Do I have any sympathy for Rachel Reeves? After what she knowingly inflicted on millions of farmers, small business owners, hard working British men and women? No. I have no sympathy, whatsoever. Zero. She is responsible for so much unnecessary pain. The embarrassment she is feeling today doesn’t even scratch the surface of the shame and hardship millions of Brits have endured directly because of her incompetence. Bankrupt businesses, livelihoods destroyed, so many sleepless nights, laying off decent colleagues, family companies closed after decades in business? Directly thanks to Rachel Reeves. She’s not fit to be a parish councillor, never mind chancellor. Her talents would be better suited to mindless admin in a dead-end HR department. Too many times I have sat in the chamber listening to her talk ‘business’, and it is genuinely terrifying that she was ever in charge of our economy. I couldn't care less that she's a woman or that she cried in Parliament. She is incompetent. What a sorry judgement Rachel Reeves is on British politics in 2026. I look forward to the day when individuals of her talent find their correct level in a genuinely capitalist society - cleaning other people’s shoes. What I would give for a Chancellor with actual business experience - employed people, built businesses, generated opportunities. Done something. That is exactly who a Restore Britain Government will deliver.

SEXED UP AND COVERED UP Imagine starting a war because you copied and pasted someone's old university paper and forgot to fix the typos. You don't have to imagine it. It happened. In September 2002 the UK government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes. Almost no evidence behind it. A second dossier followed in February 2003. Colin Powell quoted it at the UN as proof of Iraqi deception. One day later Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) found large parts of it were copied almost word for word from a thesis by Ibrahim al-Marashi, a PhD student. They even copied his typos. Alastair Campbell (@campbellclaret) had already demanded the first dossier be "sharpened" and made "revelatory." John Scarlett's intelligence committee went from admitting there was "very little intelligence" to signing off firm WMD claims. No new evidence appeared in between. David Kelly knew the difference. The government's own weapons expert told @BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan (@mragilligan) the dossier had been sexed up. He was named as the source, grilled by MPs on live television, and found dead days later. Hutton ruled it suicide. Doctors and MPs have disputed that verdict ever since, and no inquest was ever held. Parliament voted 412 to 149 for war anyway. The Chilcot Inquiry took 13 years to confirm what a journalist and a dead scientist had already said. Nobody went to prison. Blair runs a think tank now (@InstituteGC). Kelly doesn't get that choice. Sources @Channel4News @BBCNews @guardian @mragilligan Others.

The UK will not have enough water for future datacentres. England faces 5bn litre a day shortfall for public water supplies. A trillion litres of water a year lost to leaks. Widespread hosepipe bans. No national grid for water. Poor infrastructure. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Shabana Mahmood has misled Parliament. She falsely claimed there was an attempted terror attack on an Islamic event and police arrests “undoubtedly saved lives”. Now the police say they “found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.” Where is the condemnation from the BBC and media establishment for “speculating”? Mahmood is a disgrace and must resign.

Wow. Burnham invited Sacha Lord to No10, the guy who: 1) snaffled £400k of taxpayers' money for his company by lying about what it did 2) was forced to resign as Burnham's advisor when @ManchesterMill exposed it 3) hasn't repaid the money because the company somehow went bust

Her name was Liana, she was a 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee living in Germany. She was walking home from her apprenticeship when a migrant began sexually harassing her. Terrified, Liana called her grandfather for help, telling him that a migrant was chasing her and sexually assaulting her. Her grandfather heard her scream… then silence. He never saw her again. Authorities later told her parents she had been hit by a train. “Suicide. Case closed.” It looked like a cover-up. But her family refused to give up. With strong pressure from the AfD demanding a real investigation, the truth finally emerged: Liana was murdered. She was deliberately pushed onto the tracks by an Iraqi migrant. The man was identified and arrested, but the outrage didn’t stop there. He had an active deportation order since January 2025 that was never carried out. If the authorities had done their job, Liana would still be alive. And it gets worse. Liana’s mother knew there would be no real justice, and she was right. A German court has now ruled that the Iraqi migrant who killed her will serve no prison time, claiming he suffers from “mental health issues.” He will instead stay in a comfortable psychiatric facility, paid for by German taxpayers.

Ach Oumar N." ein 18-jähriger "Justitzbekannter" das Monster von Cherbourg galt als "psychisch krank". Er folterte die 29-jährige Französin Mégane stundenlang mit einem Besenstiel. Sie wurde mit schwersten Unterleibsverletzungen eingeliefert, musste in ein Koma versetzt und stundenlang operiert werden. Bilanz: Riss des Dickdarms, des Dünndarms, des Bauch- und Zwerchfells, aber auch einen Lungenriss und gebrochenen Rippen. Das Klinikpersonal war von ihren Verletzungen so traumatisiert, dass sie nachher psychisch betreut werden mussten.

Auch der Iraker der die kleine Liane ermordete ist - dreimal darf man raten - "psychisch gestört. Psychisch gestört sind die Politiker, die diese Invasion zulassen, und Kritiker derflächendeckenden Ermordung unserer Landsleute wie Kriminelle verfolgen.

Starmer unironically just said 'my work is done'. On behalf of a very angry nation - you've done an eye-wateringly appalling job, @Keir_Starmer.

It won't stop at beef tortelloni and stroganoff. Experts have already expressed intention to add folic acid to rice. bmjgroup.com/governments-fa… If you give them an inch on mass medication of the food...
Jill@jilicious

@ClareCraigPath knows this, follow her for regular updates. Don’t think folic acid is just in bread! This was M&S yesterday. I put it all back, having only checked after it went in my trolley. Garlic flatbread has it too. @marksandspencer you’re losing business fast. #folicacid

Just 5 years after being fined £90 million for illegally dumping sewage of the Kent coast Southern Water have; just been fined £7m after illegally dumping sewage off Kent coast. That's the 106 offence in the last 15 years. Time to put an end to the corruption. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The LARGEST COVID shot autopsy study EVER conducted found 73.9% of deaths after vaccination were caused by the shot. Three independent analyses estimate that COVID shots killed 470,000–900,000 Americans—more than America’s losses in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq COMBINED.
