Today #RichardLittlejohn articulates perfectly my opinion and I suspect that if many with regard to the outrage felt over the persecution of our Veterans.Just how did we end up with a Government that hates our Country so much ?

Labour MPs have now done more to protect Keir Starmer than they’ve done to protect British farmers, veterans, pensioners, taxpayers, women and girls or Chagos. They deserve the Labour bloodbath on May 7th.

@UKLabour There you are Keir, translated it for you.

Rotten to the core. Every single Labour MP. It’s not just this, it’s been constant scandals, sleaze and abuse of power since Labour entered office. They wrecked the economy, increased the cost of living and have betrayed the country. Get Labour out. ⚠️

Judge a man by his deeds. Boris Johnson allowed a free vote on whether he should be referred to the privileges committee Keir Starmer has told his MPs that they will be kicked out of the Labour Party if they vote for referral. What a scared, pathetic weasel of a man.

To save his own skin, Keir Starmer threatened his MPs with the loss of their jobs unless they helped cover up his misleading statements to Parliament. It is a disgrace that 333 Labour MPs chose to be complicit in that cover up. It is very notable that the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister would not repeat his boss’s exact claim that there “was no pressure whatsoever” from No10 on the appointment of Peter Mandelson, instead trying to 'clarify' what he had meant. This is a government coming apart at the seams. They are more interested in their own survival than the cost of living crisis affecting hardworking families. Labour MPs will rue the day that they voted against this motion, because it is the day that people saw they believe there’s one rule for Labour and another for everyone else.

335 MPs who voted against referring Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee. A list of shame. Not an ounce of integrity between them. An advertising blitz will now hit the constituency of every Labour hypocrite on this list. They’ve increased their annihilation on May 7th!

MPs have voted against referring Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee. Yes: 223 No: 335 All those who voted against it or abstained will be named and shamed! Their constituents will be reminded very shortly. That I can promise.

We won't have to worry about conflicts around the World soon as we won't have any military left now you and ALL @UKLabour MPs have voted to throw brave NI veterans under the bus. We also have @Keir_Starmer's mates & scumbags tricky Dicky Hermer (@UKLabour Attorney General) and discredited & struck-off lawyer Phil Shiner pursuing false claims against brave military veterans. Hope you @UKLabour MPs are good with guns because the rest of us won't be supporting you!

@connor_naismith It's minutiae you utter retard, you have spell checkers & staff available to you & you can't get the simple shit right. It's increasingly clear that Starmer misled the house. You're talking in semantics.

@connor_naismith But I see you won't rage against the economic decisions made by our Chief Abacus Operator, Rachel Reeves. Singlehandedly she and the Treasury are destroying the industrial base and strata of this nation!! Mark my words, we are heading for an almighty fall and it won't be pretty!

War is raging across the world sending shockwaves that hit the living standards of our constituents. Yet the Tories have us spending 11 hours in the HoC debating process and minutae that does nothing to reflect the priorities of the British people in these times of crisis.

In case you missed it - the EU Parliament has today voted to increase the already massive €1.8 Trillion EU budget for 2028-2034 by a further 10%, taking it to over TWO TRILLION EUROS. The UK as a member would've been responsible for 12% of that budget, which is 240 BILLION EUROS

Morgan McSweeney reveals that Sir Keir Starmer held a meeting in mid-December where a decision was made to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador There is no record of this meeting. There is no minute of the discussions or the reasoning behind the appointment at the time. The Cabinet Office simply can't find it. It does not appear to exist So a really significant meeting on the appointment of the US ambassador - one which has had huge ramifications for Starmer's premiership - only appears to exist in the memory of those who were present

The Bank of England just sold a 2061 gilt at £23.41. It bought it at £100. A 67% loss, indemnified by you. This is the receipt arriving in the post. From the automation revolution, Britain’s demand-side collapse has already begun, the cognitive middle is the collateral, and the £9.18 trillion of housing wealth on household balance sheets is about to discover what it actually is. The BoE knows. The Treasury knows. No party will say it out loud. The coming recession is merely foreplay. Read the full diagnosis 👇 open.substack.com/pub/anglofutur…

Britain is poor country which most of its voters think is still rich. An amazing 55% of voters think Britain is richer than the US. "The upshot is a nation that spends well beyond its means. The debt-to-GDP ratio is set to hover above 95% for the next few years, & could surge to around 275% by the 2070s, according to the OBR. The UK spends almost twice as much on debt interest payments than on defence," writes @tejparikh90 in the FT 1/3

He won the Civil War, broke the Klan, went bankrupt at 62, got terminal throat cancer, and wrote one of the greatest books in American literature in the final year of his life. He finished it 5 days before he died. Ulysses S. Grant was born 204 years ago today. His name wasn't even Ulysses S. Grant. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Point Pleasant, Ohio on April 27, 1822. The congressman who nominated him to West Point wrote down the wrong name. Grant kept it. The "S." stands for nothing. He hated his father's tannery and loved horses. Graduated 21st of 39 at West Point. Fought in the Mexican-American War, then came home convinced it was an unjust war designed to expand slavery. He later said he believed the Civil War was divine punishment for it. He married Julia Dent in 1848, into a slave-owning Missouri family. His abolitionist father refused to attend the wedding. In 1859, broke and desperate, Grant freed the one enslaved man he'd briefly owned instead of selling him. He could have gotten a year's wages. In the Civil War he became what no other Union general was: relentless. Vicksburg (July 4, 1863) split the Confederacy in half. Lincoln then gave him every Union army. His Appomattox surrender terms: officers kept sidearms, men kept horses for spring planting, no one prosecuted. As president (1869 to 1877) he did something no president would do again until LBJ: used federal troops to crush the Ku Klux Klan. He suspended habeas corpus in 9 South Carolina counties, prosecuted Klansmen before predominantly Black juries, and broke the first Klan. His presidency was also rocked by scandal: Black Friday 1869. Crédit Mobilier. The Whiskey Ring. Belknap. Grant himself never took a dime. He was just disastrously loyal to corrupt friends. The pattern damaged his reputation for a century. After the White House, he toured the world for 2 years. Dined with Queen Victoria. Met the emperor of Japan. Then in 1884, a Wall Street partner named Ferdinand Ward ran what we'd now call a Ponzi scheme. Grant was wiped out. 62 years old. Penniless. Weeks later he was diagnosed with terminal throat cancer. Mark Twain offered to publish his memoirs. Grant wrote in agony, sometimes 50 pages a day, racing the disease to leave Julia an inheritance. He finished the manuscript July 18, 1885. He died July 23. The book made Julia $450,000, about $14M today. It's now considered one of the finest memoirs in the English language. For decades historians ranked Grant a failure. Since 2000 he's jumped 13 spots in the C-SPAN survey, the biggest rise of any president. Happy birthday, General 🇺🇸

While most of the world got healthier over the last decade, the US, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands and Britain went the other way. Britain fell the furthest. The UK has fallen from 14th to 20th out of 21 nations for healthy life expectancy. Japan improved. Norway improved. Spain improved. Britain is now second from bottom, above only the US. Men in Britain are losing two years of healthy life compared to a decade ago. Women are losing nearly three. In more than 90% of the UK, people now start getting seriously ill before they can even claim their state pension. 2.8 million people are now too sick to work. Every one of those people has gone from paying taxes to needing support, and that shift lands on everyone still in work. It shows up in your tax bill and in strains public services. The government called it a disgrace this week. They are right. They are also the latest in a long line of governments who watched it happen and did not stop it. Follow me to stay informed

🚨BP profits surge by 130% This comes on the back of price hikes resulting from the Iran war The government and the oil giant exploit millions of hardworking Brits who worry about their energy bills. The government has repeatedly refused to act by cutting VAT or by drilling. Instead, Labour leta the taxpayer suffer in order to keep raking in VAT. The British people are being ripped off.

Oh look another quiet tweak to legislation by Statutory Instrument under the carbon tax framework. Sneaky. the Government has just pulled aviation and shipping fully into the UK’s carbon budgets with no vote. Forcing these sectors which include shipping, supply chains, imports and all flights inside a fixed carbon cap will increase prices if emissions don’t fall fast enough. Which they can’t. Meaning the government taking even more tax into general taxation (they don’t use carbon taxes to change the climate you know) And they have done it during a fuel crisis which has already increased prices and the government’s tax income. Tax tax tax … taxed to the death of all industry.

Read this slowly. In 2020 the Bank of England created money at the push of a button. They bought government bonds at £100. Today they sold them for £23.41. Half a billion pounds. Gone before lunch. They printed it. They lost it. They billed you. Paid from your wage. Your tax. Your blood and sweat. They handed every UK household a £7,000 bill. You did not see it because they hid it in your tax. You did not push the button. You will pay anyway. This is theft.
