"There are moments in history that will define a generation. And I think we're in one of those moments” @Keir_Starmer tells me on @BBCr4today comparing the crisis caused by the Iran war with the 08 crash, Brexit & COVID. He argues that we cannot go back to the status quo & must get closer to the EU economically & to Europe more broadly to bolster our defence. He says the economy will needs to change so that it works for young people wherever they live in the country. This feels like a leader who knows renewed calls on him to quit are just days away trying to answer the clamour for him to set out his vision of the future. Listen in full from 8 am on @BBCRadio4 & @BBCSounds

@john4brexit The PM needs to improve the quality of his homework. He just does not understand basic economics

This man was BRAZENLY wearing a call to kill Jews yesterday on a pro-Pal march in Leeds. If police are going to just let vile ppl wander around wearing murder merch then what’s the point of all these strong words. Arrest him. @WestYorksPolice 📷 @Kokothecat2

Labour is steering the UK into a bond market meltdown. And after getting hammered in Thursday’s local elections, this spend-thrift, fiscally irresponsible government will no doubt shift even further left - detaching itself even further from economic reality. If Labour’s internal party antics do spark a deeply damaging sovereign bond meltdown – during which the poor will suffer most, as they always do – the party could be consigned, deservedly, to political history.

Belgium proving the French are cowards, cheats and liars. Since January, Belgian police have arrested more than 40 smugglers and 360 migrants trying to leave their shores for the UK. See. It can be done.

Today, he murdered a teenage girl in a town next to Barcelona. He didn’t know her, at all. She just happened to be walking on the wrong street at the wrong moment. We really don’t have to live this way. Remigration can’t happen soon enough.

Nigel Farage suddenly pulled out of @bbclaurak today, immediately following the revelation about an undeclared £5m donation from a Crypto King living in Thailand. Apparently he simply “changed his mind” about appearing. No scrutiny. No declaration. No accountability. One rule for Reform, another for everyone else.

And that country is…….🤔

@GBNEWS It’s all words and maybes, start deportation of those in jail, then deport those shouting harm to our 🇬🇧 Jewish community

Nigel Farage didn't turn up folks. Knew his story wouldn't stack up over the £5million gift he received. Knew he would be exposed nationally as the fraud he is and couldn't risk losing votes before May 7th Guess who did turn up? @ZackPolanski

Not just the UK then...

Bizarre how Starmer continues to talk in what Orwell called “pre-fabricated sections of a chicken coop”. What the hell is “the promise of change”? And not one word from the PM on immigration and the calamity of open borders. 7 May - death of Labour ☠️

I know it’s early but surely a strong candidate for Lie of the Day: “I’m a big defender of freedom of speech.” Keir “Stalin” Starmer NOW he says he’s going to clamp down on the hate marches. Too late. On Thursday, Starmer will be obliterated.

We really need Starmer out, but what comes after is going to be bad. Burnham, Rayner, Miliband, would all be disastrous. We need a general election.

On Thursday, Labour founder Keir Hardie would vote Reform. Imagine explaining the identity politics lunacy, persecution of soldiers, economic illiteracy, anti-British agenda to that brilliant, principled Scottish miner. Six Days Till the Death of Labour. 7 May 2026 ☠️

It's not every day you get threated with lawsuits by a Home Office employee. But @ShabanaMahmood's special advisor really didn't want us to publish this story linking her to an explosive vote-rigging trial. birminghamdispatch.co.uk/exclusive-shab…

People should be allowed to rent a property for a fixed period of time. Today that right has vanished. All tenancies are now infinite. Mutual agreement for a one, two, or five year rental is now illegal. This will help literally no one.
