@DavidBlakeman13 We don’t want leftists in Reform. That was the downfall of the Conservatives.

Funny thing, always detested Emily Thornebury but last few weeks as head of Parliamentary Intelligence Committee she has demonstrated another side of her character. As a fierce seeker of the truth. Will she be joining Reform next. Such honesty doesn’t fit with Labour.

Nigel Farage is a jealous king with no generals who are leaders of men in their own right. He only has the appetite to tolerate the company of clerks and eunuchs.
Farage's Fallen Colleagues:
Alan Sked (UKIP Founding Member and 1st Leader)
Robert Kilroy-Silk (UKIP MEP)
Nikki Sinclaire (UKIP MEP)
Marta Andreasen (UKIP MEP)
Godfrey Bloom (UKIP MEP)
Douglas Carswell (UKIP MP)
Suzanne Evans (UKIP Deputy Chair)
Patrick O'Flynn (UKIP MEP)
Henry Bolton (UKIP Leader)
Gerard Batten (UKIP Founding Member, Leader, and MEP)
Catherine Blaiklock (Brexit Party Founder and 1st Leader)
Ben Habib (Brexit Party/Reform UK Deputy Leader)
Rupert Lowe (Reform UK MP)
Basil the Great@BasilTheGreat
Nigel Farage has changed his story for why he kicked Rupert Lowe out of Reform again Now he's saying Rupert Lowe challenging him in public was the problem Below is a list of all the reasons given so far by Reform UK as to why Rupert was kicked out: - Wanting to be Prime Minister - Wanting to take over Reform UK - Bullying in the workplace - Harassing Women - Creating a toxic culture - Criticising Nigel - Wanting Reform to democratise - Being uncooperative - Wanting Reform to have a shadow cabinet - Assaulting Zia Yusuf - Threatening to Punch Zia Yusuf - Threatening to Shoot Zia Yusuf - Wanting rape gang communities deported - Challenging him in public The list continues to grow

@DailyMail @lyndsay_hopkins So hard to imagine what a horror show this has become. People’s lives have been blighted, farmland lost, enormous amounts of money spent to create a train track just over 100 miles long. What an absolute shitshow.

This isn't just a pile of debris - it’s the future of green energy waste hidden in plain sight.
Millions of solar panels are hitting their end-of-life cycle, and the world is completely unprepared for the coming toxic avalanche. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects up to 78 million metric tons of solar e-waste. Where is it all going to go?
The industry boasts that solar panels are '95% recyclable'. Technically, yes - because they are made of glass, aluminum and copper. But economics always trumps physics. In Australia and the US, it costs roughly $20 to $28 to properly disassemble and recycle a single panel, but only about $4 to dump it in landfill.
Because there is no financial incentive, up to 90% of decommissioned panels go straight into the ground.
Each solar panel is an industrial 'sandwich' bound tightly by heavy polymers. To extract the microscopic amounts of valuable silver and high-purity silicon requires energy-intensive chemical and thermal baking.
When they are crushed or left to fracture in landfills, heavy metals like lead and cadmium can leach into the surrounding soil and groundwater, turning 'clean energy' into a multi-generational hazardous waste problem.
The crisis is accelerating faster than models predicted. Because solar cells degrade and lose efficiency, and because newer, cheaper panels hit the market, consumers and solar farms are ripping out functional systems at least a decade early to upgrade.
This compressed lifecycle destroys the narrative of a long-term, stable asset and creates an endless loop of unrecyclable industrial trash.

BREAKING: Andy Burnham u-turns on his desire to rejoin the EU
“I am not proposing rejoining the EU”
“I respect the decision that was made at the referendum”
“The last thing we should do now is re-run those arguments”
Flips his view from just 7 months ago when he backed rejoin

Energy bosses are now warning that network charges and subsidy costs could soon far outweigh the cost of the power itself, as Miliband's £100bn expansion of our electricity grids drives up costs for already struggling Brits.

Trump opens his mouth and out comes Guff.
Immigration is down 80% here since it’s Tory peak and for every one windmill we have the USA has 7..! Our North Sea is all but empty, less than 10% left - that isn’t gonna change anything. But facts don't matter to Trump, even what he says one day doesn’t matter to him the next day. Iran was beaten two months ago, but the war drags on, their Uranium stockpile was vital the other day - now it’s just a PR thing. We should pay zero attention to what this fool says.
Ooops, I just gave more (of a shit) than I should have..:)

📺| Starmer keeps blaming Brexit for Britain’s economic problems.
But do the numbers actually back him up?
I joined @Iromg to discuss:

💬 The reality beneath Rachel Reeves’ economic spin
🇬🇧 UK growth compared with France, Italy and Germany since the Brexit vote
🪞 Why blaming Brexit does not explain everything
⚠️ UK gilt yields and rising borrowing costs

@pegge49 @IBallantyn How can we spend so much on submarines because they’re so important to our security then have most of them laid up? Where’s the outcry, where’s the urgency to fix this awful situation? Why aren’t navy chiefs resigning and why aren’t some being sacked? It’s a national disgrace.

A reminder, just as the lack of spares & dock facilities has crippled the Astute Class availability. For all the talk of the pros & cons of a future mixed F35A/B fleet, if you don't upgrade the infrastructure or have enough spares & people, your expensive assets can't deliver.

@ChrisO_wiki @DPJHodges Feel free to explain the ‘catastrophe’ that Brexit has inflicted on France and Germany who have enjoyed similar growth to the UK since Brexit.
English
@DPJHodges Won't work. Farage's obvious dodge is to say that we never had "true" Brexit, which is what he'll deliver if Reform win. (Which means an effective no deal Brexit and further catastrophe for the economy, not that he'll care about that.)
English
If Reform do that Andy Burnham will simply point to Nige Farage and say “he told you if you voted for Brexit all your problems here in Makerfield would be solved. How did that work out for you”.
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
Reform UK will put Brexit at the heart of the Makerfield by-election campaign after interventions from Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting on rejoining the EU over the weekend They will link it directly to free movement - accusing Burnham of wanting to 'open the borders up to 500million people'. This is a seat where two-thirds of voters backed Brexit at the EU referendum Burnham told ITV News on Saturday that "in the long term there is a case for that [rejoining the EU]" but added that he was "not advocating that in this by-election". "In fact, what I am saying is focus now domestically. Britain has got to focus very much on the here and now and the issues that are affecting people" At Labour conference last year he said: 'Long term, I'm going to be honest, I'm going to say it, I want to rejoin it'. Burnham does not resile for that view, but it's not the case he wants to make now Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary and a friend of Burnham's, said this morning that nobody wants a return to Brexit wars. But the public interventions in favour of rejoining from Streeting and Burnham mean that it is likely to be a key issue

Yesterday’s march in London was very significant.
It exposed one of the biggest lies in British politics.
By all accounts , there was no violence, no racism, no extremism.
All I see in the videos are ordinary men, women, families, children, pensioners, & workers, many from different racial & ethnic backgrounds, expressing their entirely legitimate concerns about the direction of the country they love, their home.
The term ‘far-right’ used to mean organised political violence, extremism, racial hatred, and a rejection of democracy.
But now?
As Keir Starmer, Sadiq Khan, and much of Westminster has shown, the term ‘far right’ has been expanded to such an extent it means anybody who holds views the establishment disagrees with.
What happened yesterday was clearly not ‘far right’.
What happened yesterday was clearly not ‘hate’.
And what happened yesterday was clearly not ‘extremism’.
Mainstream commentators and politicians should find the courage to stand up and say this.
If you continue to casually smear millions of people as ‘far right’ then you’ll not only ensure the term no longer has any meaning at all.
You’ll also only deepen the well of resentment and understandable anger that millions of people feel as they are forced to watch the destruction of their home while being also told their entirely legitimate views are illegitimate.
The term ‘far right’ should only be used for genuine extremists who espouse racial hatred and want to overthrow democracy.
For all those people yesterday, they should be called what they are.
Patriots.
