Starmer wanted to be PM so that he could give all the powers a PM has historically had to outside bodies. He has no understanding of Britain's national interests. He is an unmitigated disaster.

The Prime Minister wants to give the EU a veto over our energy policy. He is scorching the earth and telling British businesses they have to accept expensive, intermittent, renewable energy and high taxes to pay for their subsidies forever.

@daviesfamile @MrFlashHQ @afneil I believe the legal situation is that it's only 1,279 days until this Parliament has to be prorogued for the last time. There is no requirement to hold a General Election, but a new Parliament can't be convened without one. But no Party wants to postpone elections, do they....?

A case study of contemporary British government at its worst. You cripple the nightlife economy with higher taxes, costs plus more rules, regulations and compliance demands. Then you propose a Minister for Nightlife to revive the nightlife economy.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK

🚨 WATCH: Angela Rayner calls for the Government to create a Minister for Nightlife "We need to do better. We need to recognise the value of this industry economically, culturally and socially"

They've been changing X again. When I open it, I get the messages from people I follow, that I haven't previously seen. It doesn't now automatically refresh when I've read them and scroll up to the top. I have to close & reopen X to get more messages. Tedious.

@grok @farzyness Used to write machine code back in the late 60s at Manchester University. Tedious and incredibly error prone. Writing in something like Python (C#, Java) is infinitely more sensible.

Sure, I'll break it down simply: Today, we write "code" (instructions in languages like Python) that gets turned into "binary" (1s and 0s computers understand) to run programs. Elon predicts: We'll skip writing code and directly create the binary. Next level: AI (neural nets) will skip even that—directly generate what you see on screens in real-time, like instantly painting pixels without any code or binary steps. Basically, pure thought to visuals.

Hey @grok explain this to me like I’m retarded.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@robustus Code itself will go away in favor of just making the binary directly. The next step after that is direct, real-time pixel generation by the neural net.

@GuidoFawkes He forgot to say what he would change and to what. And no-one in the media thought to ask him at the time.

This what happens when you elect a Government that promises "Change" without first asking them to clarify what will be changed, and to what, and whether it actually needs changing or not.
Andrew J. Willshire@ajwillshire

This idea that we (the people) have made the job of Prime Minister impossible is nonsense. No-one forced them to abandon welfare reform. No-one forced them to pledge not to increase Income Tax, NI or VAT and to pick on pensioners, farmers, small businesses and hospitality instead. No-one forced them to give massive pay-rises to train drivers or NHS staff without commitments to reform. No-one was demanding that successful cross-party education reforms be rolled back. There was no obligation to permit the Chinese Embassy nor to cede the Chagos Islands. Dame Karen Pierce could have remained in Washington as ambassador. The job isn't impossible - it's just being done badly.

Why is the PM still trying to force through his dreadful and needless Chagos deal? Why annoy the US over something so unpopular with UK voters? If you care about UK national security you keep the freehold of this important military base.

🇬🇧Britain sent warships into Brazilian harbours. Without permission. Seized ships at anchor. In their waters. Under their flag. Brazil refused to stop the slave trade. So Parliament passed the Aberdeen Act. It authorised the Royal Navy to treat Brazilian slave ships as pirates. Anywhere. Brazil was furious. Diplomatic crisis. The Navy went anyway. Into harbours. River mouths. Ships seized. Crews arrested. Enslaved people freed. Within five years, Brazil banned slave imports. The world hated Britain for this. Ending slavery cost them trade. Cost them allies. Other empires called it interference. Britain didn't care. Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

@CutMyTaxUK How does the ONS measure the productivity of anyone with "DEI" (or any variant of it) in their job title?

Cut My Tax@CutMyTaxUK·
The ONS has revised its public sector productivity estimates downwards. Instead of public service productivity growing by a tiny 0.3% in 2024, the ONS now says it didn't grow at all. Total public service productivity was 3.4% lower in 2024 than the 2019 level (compared with 3.0% lower, as previously published). If productivity had not fallen by 3.4% since 2019 then taxes could have been £17.3 billion lower. Public sector incompetence affects us all.

Daniel Hannan@DanielJHannan·
The striking thing about Starmer’s Chagos policy is how obsessive he is. He has sped past every off-ramp: Mauritius raising the price; changes of government in both the US and Mauritius; the formation of a Chagossian Government-in-Exile; defeat in the House of Lords; a UN ruling against the transfer; Trump’s disquiet; China’s glee; Mauritius’s announcement that it will close the archipelago to nuclear-powered craft. Labour has U-turned 14 times since the election. The only issue - the ONLY issue - where Starmer has dug in is his determination to surrender British territory.

@toadmeister Actually, solar carports sounds like a good idea. Better to cover urban carparks with solar panels than useful food-producing fields with them.

A Labour council that cancelled its local election to cut costs spent £30k on an "asylum seeker mental health project", while another spent £780k on gagging orders and another spent £250k on "solar carports". dailysceptic.org/2026/01/31/cou…
