Thatcher understood that a nation must live within its means, just like a household. She’s never been forgiven for it.

Here’s a question you hear a lot on the BBC and the broken media:
“But how will Reform find the money for this or that?”
A REMINDER.
Reform has already promised to:
➡️ slash welfare benefits for foreigners
➡️ slash council flat subsidies for foreigners
➡️ slash foreign aid by 90%
➡️ slash welfare payments for non-serious anxiety conditions, such as ADHD & mild depression
➡️ slash enormous Net Zero schemes
➡️ slash hotels and housing costs for illegal migrants by stopping the boats
➡️ slash the size of the civil service
➡️ slash unelected public bodies and quangos
➡️ slash the £55-80 billion the British state is estimated to cost the British people every year through tax and welfare fraud, and error.
Put all this together and you’re talking about TENS OF BILLIONS in savings, possibly HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS.
Remind people about this when they ask you: “but where’s the money coming from? How will Reform afford it?”
We can afford it if we make better choices - like choosing to put the British people first! Who’s with me?👍#MattGoodwin

Jenrick: "..those people who are doing a 40hrs/week & then choosing to do extra hours to look after their family.. those people can do those hours without paying any money to the tax man"
Why not address the fact that people working 40hrs/week can't look after their families?

@AlbionRising_ @TheEaglesNest25 Except we have to look elsewhere for the invention of numbers, zero, algebra, printing, books... without NW Europe NW Europe would still be stuck in mediaeval times. We invented world war.

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

@justdavenow89 Begging is when you ask - charity collectors may legally stand with a tin - but not ask for donations - that's begging. Playing in the street - done well - that's enhancing the "town centre experience". Did the player ask the interrogator for money?

This letter in today’s Irish Times is magnificent. Please read and share
Sir, – Micheál Martin’s hysterical over-reaction to the Israeli detention of Irish citizens participating in the Sumud flotilla embarrasses Ireland on the international stage yet again. These people were not innocent holidaymakers suddenly snatched at sea, but political provocateurs who desperately sought arrest and detention by Israeli forces. This event should be treated as the publicity stunt that it was.
The real injured parties here are the ordinary Israeli and Irish taxpayers who have to pay for the arrest and repatriation of these middle-class narcissists. The best way for this Government to stop the genuinely shocking humiliation and mistreatment of Irish citizens would be to focus on the homelessness crisis in Ireland, or the ever-growing hospital waiting list, and ignore the self-indulgent gimmicks of the anti-Israeli lobby. – Yours, etc,

This is a strong pledge from Nigel Farage.
Scrapping income tax on overtime over 40 hours (under £75k) makes overtime actually worth doing again.
It incentivises work, boosts take home pay, and pushes economic growth in the right direction.

🚨BREAKING: Nigel Farage set to pledge to scrap income tax on overtime above 40 hours a week for anyone earning under £75,000 [@Telegraph]
English
🚨Important policy announcement:
Britain was built on the hard graft of people who go the extra mile.
A Reform government will ABOLISH income tax on hours worked beyond 40 hours a week, for incomes below £75,000 a year.
It’s time to REWARD hard work, not punish it! 🇬🇧

@CuteAaruhi4 Common pattern of dress in extremely hot countries: think about it.
English
Today, I was traveling home by bus. A Muslim girl was sitting on the seat next to me. She was wearing a black burqa and was completely covered, with only her eyes visible.
The heat was intense, so during our conversation, I casually asked her,
"We are feeling so hot even in a T-shirt and trousers, don't you feel hot in these clothes?"
She replied,
"I do, but it is better than the heat of the fire of Jahannam (Hell)."
Think about the level of brainwashing that makes people believe that suffering themselves in the name of religion is the right thing to do.😬

Keir Starmer is the most vile, morally bankrupt, dishonest, anti-British, and corrupt prime minster this country has *ever* seen.
He should be booted out of office in DISGRACE and arrested for treason!

This caricature anti-Israel loon is the sister of the sitting Irish President.
These are the same people who are frantically engaged in building a great pyre on which to burn down our own western civilisation.
They’re doing so arm-in-arm with the kinds of political Islamists whose activities are banned across the sane Muslim world (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Oman, Egypt, etc., all of which fully understand the danger). In Britain, the Green Party is the Frankenstein political manifestation of this movement. Our universities seem largely lost.
Israel is hated by this Leftist-Islamist alliance *for existing*. Which is why Israel, shocked out of its stupor by the horrors of 7 October, is right to have given up on trying to win the approval of these people.
Israel is rightly focused instead on its own survival, security and prosperity. It knows that raving loons like this Irish woman are not ultimately its problem. They’re ours, in our western countries which become less recognisable by the day.

This is the sister of the President of Ireland. These other people who are trying to stop the OCTOBER 7 play coming to Ireland. This is what Irish people are hearing every day on their TV screen, on their media, in their culture. This is why we are determined to bring the OCTOBER 7 play to Ireland. The Irish people need to hear the truth.

Words matter because they shape consent.
“Arrested” sounds legitimate. Forcibly detaining civilians in international waters and taking them by force to another country is illegal. It also has another name.
The media should use language that reflects reality, not obscures it.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
BBC News: "... 400 activists were arrested in a port in Southern Israel after the navy intercepted their flotilla in intl waters" Israel attacked boats in intl waters & seized the people on board, taking them to Israel. I suppose arrested sounds better than piracy & kidnapping!

Robert, he was rude. He swore at her, shouted at her and interrupted her.
If someone in Newark spoke like that to you, I’d tell them to mind their manners.
In fact, I’m pretty sure most people in Newark would call him a prat for behaving like that.
