IS ANYONE ELSE ALSO COMPLETELY WORN OUT BY THE NONSTOP FUCKING NONSENSE WE'RE LIVING THROUGH 🤔🖐🖐

Shout out to the Jet 2 pilot this afternoon announcing that the warm spell continues back home in the uk His words “They refer to it as a heatwave - I know it as summer” Bang on fella

🗣️ Granit Xhaka: “After the match against Argentina, I no longer see Messi the way I used to. The way he handled the whole situation made me understand the kind of person he is. I’m happy I’ve been Team Ronaldo from the very beginning.”

🚨WNBA SUPERSTAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SAYS SHE’LL TAKE A 5-GAME SUSPENSION RATHER THAN RECANT HER POSITION ON MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS! 🔗 t.me/+o-xXNYKd7fE4Z… This is real courage. The WNBA — possibly the wokest organization in America — gave Sophie Cunningham a choice: apologize for saying women and girls deserve to be protected in their own locker rooms, or take a 5-game suspension. She’s choosing the bench. While the league continues pushing biological males into women’s spaces, Cunningham refuses to bend the knee. She would rather sit out games than betray female athletes and young girls who deserve fairness and safety. One of the few voices in professional sports still willing to tell the truth. Share this everywhere so every athlete still afraid to speak up sees what backbone looks like! Follow @mcafeenew for more drops.

🍀 🇫🇷 Cette petite guerrière s’appelle Lilwen. À seulement 7 ans, cette jeune Bretonne a affronté une leucémie pendant plus de trois ans. Elle a traversé un coma de trois semaines, des traitements éprouvants et un long chemin de reconstruction : réapprendre à marcher, à manger, à parler. Aujourd’hui, Lilwen a vaincu la maladie. Elle est en rémission et retrouve peu à peu une vie d’enfant. Son courage a été immortalisé par la photographe Marine Lien, dont la série de portraits a même reçu un prix européen. Une vraie battante, un sourire qui illumine, et une victoire qui réchauffe le cœur. 💚 💪🏻

🗣️ Wayne Rooney: “The fact that the FIFA President reportedly granted Argentina automatic qualification for the 2030 World Cup while England can’t even get automatic qualification for Euro 2028 seems fishy. I don’t think it’s just about the rules—there must be some form of compromise or favoritism towards Argentina. If people don’t realize it now, they will find out later.”

The Westminster parliament was started over 700 years ago He’s been PM for 10 days. Unelected, no mandate & repeats over & over the problem is where government is located This man is DELUDED! It’s not about where the decisions are made It’s about the substance & he has NONE

This must be the end of #GianniInfantino. Football is the world’s game. Not a toy for the rich. Not a product for private investors. Not a political tool. FIFA must be completely dismantled, re-thought & rebuilt, with transparency & responsible governance at its core. #BoycottFIFA

"Queers for Palestine" are marching for Gaza while every single one of them would literally be killed or thrown off a roof in Gaza. Just how stupid can these people be?

I recently led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs' second jobs. When an MP can pocket more for a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in an entire year, something is deeply broken in our politics. It's time to end this racket. Watch clips from my speech here 👇

If I was the Mayor of Haifa, a city which houses the vulnerable Bahai community as well as tens of thousands of Arab Israelis, I think my response to this letter from Hackney Mayor Zoe Garbett would comprise of a string of four letter words. She has the absolute chutzpah to claim Hackney’s performative politics is about ‘anti-racism’. Chef’s kiss is that she is demanding a response by October 7 - was that date plucked out of thin air? Gaslighting nasty pricks.

Anyone that denies that this is an invasion… is a moron. A complete and utter deluded moron. Or a Labour/Green voter. Spain 🇪🇸 🤯🤦🏻‍♂️

Andy Burnham did a video about social care. The man who buried the Mid Staffs inquiry eighty-one times. The man who sat on a £300,000 grooming gangs report until after his re-election. That man. He promises the "putting off" ends now. You have to admire the audacity. It's like a pyromaniac joining the fire brigade. Here's what actually happened. Twelve hundred people died in NHS care on his watch. He refused them a public inquiry eighty-one separate times. Eighty-one. That's not negligence. That's architecture. Meanwhile, two hundred and fifty thousand British children were raped by grooming gangs, and when people spoke about it, Starmer's Britain, locked them up. Not the rapists. The speakers. The fathers trying to save their daughters got arrested. The rapists got taxis and takeaways. And now Burnham's Prime Minister. His solution? One quid off the bus. The fare cap drops from £3 to £2, and we're supposed to call it progress. It's perfect, really. The final insult. The country is being deindustrialized, your grandmother freezes while the grid fails, borders erased, children sacrificed to deranged ideology, and your consolation prize is pocket change for public transport. Bread and circuses, except they stopped bothering with the bread. They think you're stupid. They think you'll see "£2 bus fare" and forget the bodies. Forget the betrayed children. Forget that these same people spent two years criminalizing dissent while the real criminals walked free. The comments section knows. "Stop the boats." "Deport them all." Six hundred and twenty-three people screaming truths he will never answer. England doesn't need another manager. It doesn't need another smooth-talking technocrat with a five-point plan and a dead soul. It needs the whole rotten structure pulled down. And three-quarters of England is already waiting with the rope. We are done with the £1 bribes. Done with the cover-ups. Done with the managed decline.

Andy Burnham, in two weeks of being PM, has perfectly illustrated the main problem in UK public finances. Week 1: there's a cost of living crisis, so to help you we've taken £45 a year off your electricity bill and capped bus fares at £2. Week 2: we don't have enough money to fund everything we want to do, so we're taking £630 a year out of your salary. Same government, same month. Credit where it's due first - taking VAT off electricity from October is real money, so is the £2 bus cap in January if you're on a bus twice a day. Immediate cost of living relief is genuinely needed by most people. But I'm not sure how someone who couldn't manage without that £45 a year of relief is supposed to now manage with £630 a year less in their pocket? The £630 is a 1.8% levy on income to fund a National Care Service costed at £18bn a year. On a £35,000 salary it's £630, on £50,000 it's £900. It's charged as a percentage of your income. It's collected out of your income. It is not, apparently, income tax, because they're going to call it a levy. It also only applies to taxpayers over 34... So you turn 35 and take a pay cut, at the exact age most people are stretched on a mortgage with childcare costing more than the mortgage. But the UKs ACTUALLY problem? Spending is too high. And it's too high in ways that are fixable if anyone was willing to challenge the status quo rather than buy more votes with handouts. This is where £1,383bn goes this year: Health, £269.6bn Pensions, £236.3bn Welfare, £204.0bn Education, £126.7bn Debt interest, £104.6bn Defence, £75.2bn Everything else, £367.1bn Health, £269.6bn: We need mandatory health insurance as an employment benefit and a hybrid model. Everyone hears "insurance" and pictures America, someone bleeding out over a copay, as if no other model exists on earth. The Netherlands has mandatory private health insurance. Insurers are legally required to accept everyone. They cannot charge you more for being chronically ill. A risk equalisation pool moves money towards the insurers covering the sickest people. It's consistently ranked top three in Europe. Welfare, £204.0bn: Income tax raises £330bn. So almost 2 of every 3 pounds of Income Tax taken from every working person in this country is spoken for by the welfare bill. Welfare should be for people who cannot work. Disability, genuine incapacity, the people it was built to protect. It has drifted into a general income top-up, and the number that proves it is 4.2 million working age people now claiming at least one health related benefit, up a million since 2019. Change how we determine eligibility, fix a lot of spending issues immediately. Pensions, £236.3bn: The state pension is a Ponzi scheme, and I mean that technically rather than as an insult. There is no fund - the ONS says so plainly. Your National Insurance is not being put aside and invested for your State Pension, It just pays the payouts for last year's pensioners. Yours depends entirely on there being enough workers behind you. Which, btw, there won't be. The ratio of pensioners to workers goes from 27% to 48% by 2050 (and these estimates are before we've seen the proper impact of AI/automation on jobs. Australia already fixed this: 12% of earnings into a private fund with your name on it, mandatory, employer paid. It's your money, it compounds, it doesn't need a bigger generation behind you to work. We could mandate the same tomorrow and let the state pension run down over the next 40 years, eventually saving £236bn a year. You can't levy your way out of these problems. A 1.8% charge on everyone over 34 raises £18bn. It doesn't even cover the interest on our existing debt. And in the meantime... If we're going to borrow anyway, why is none of it buying anything? Norway found oil in 1969 and put the money in a fund... That fund is now worth $2.049 trillion. It holds a stake in roughly 1.5% of every listed company on the planet. We found oil in the same decade and spent it. The UK's National Wealth Fund is capitalised at £27.8bn. Norway's is about 73 times bigger. So where is our position in AI, in data centres, in grid scale renewables, in batteries, in electric vehicles, in any of the things the next fifty years actually runs on? We borrow £133bn a year and almost none of it buys an asset. Fix government spending immediately, increase government income over time (without milking people for every penny of 'levy' you can find), and quality of life will genuinely improve as people have more money in their pockets. The UK has a spending problem, not a tax problem.

There is 1 reason and 1 reason only that this is happening. It’s because Our governments want it to happens The politicians are allowing it, facilitating it and they and their friends are making money from it
