@BurnsideWasTosh @RupertLowe10 @atticvs 🤣

@RupertLowe10 @atticvs Did Rory ejaculate when Mad Al said "right wing"

Alastair Campbell has just accused me of having 'extreme views'... Starting an illegal war based on a pack of lies causing the unnecessary death of so many British soldiers is the extreme position, in my view. I just want my country back - there's nothing 'extreme' about that.

@TheGriftReport Wonder when he last washed his fucking hair 🙈

Who else is glad smell-o-vision never become a thing?

@LawrenceLocke6 @CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Yes isn’t it just

@SteveButler82 @CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Amazing how many Green supporters do not understand the policies of the Greens.

Interesting that the Left-wing assumption is that the Greens are a more moderate alternative to Reform. I would say the Greens are a much bigger threat by far.

@LawrenceLocke6 @CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Yes

@CampaignChorus @SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris The policy is defacto open borders. Under the Greens, anyone can travel to UK to have asylum claim considered. Whilst here, they can work, they will be housed and will have UBI. There will be no enforced deportations if their claims are refused. Hence in effect open borders.

@BasilTheGreat Y

If there was a referendum on banning Islam in the UK would you vote to ban it? Yes or No

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Is unmanageable long term 2/2

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris We currently have mass immigration, we have had a population increase of 10 million in the last 15 or so years and full to bursting with infrastructure which already can’t cope. Let alone a climate. Anything less than removing the less productive ones who came in since 2019 1/2

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris So they want a world without borders, so that’s their ideological belief and they want immigration where people who wish to move here can. The word managed can be used very flexibly here as you can manage something in a very small way. It seems you need to read between the lines

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Nope. Hence the word ‘managed’ & the recognition that open borders are not possible atm. There was an interesting radio programme on this just the other day, how people who don’t read books struggle with reading comprehension & inference. Maybe we should dumb down the manifesto.

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris It’s never going to be viable because we are an island with finite space

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris So that’s open borders then. They are saying they will accept anyone who wants to come

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris The policy isn’t open borders Steve, thats just poor reading comprehension. “The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, but until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so”

@DPRUK16 @iAmJoshHunt Yes SDP for me too

@iAmJoshHunt SDP is probably closest. But our biggest problem is mass immigration and only Restore has the momentum and willingness to actually do anything about it.

I've spent the last few days writing about many of the troubles facing this country. A lot of people have asked what I'd actually do. What my solutions are, and what I stand for. And many keep trying to convince me to vote for the Greens, vote for Reform, or vote for Restore. I'll be honest. Some of this might come across as naive. I'm not a politician. But I've spent months looking at the data, talking to people, and trying to understand why this country feels the way it does. What I've arrived at isn't a policy platform. It's what I want from a political party. What I think millions of people want. And what nobody is offering. And like I said, this may come across as idealistic and naive... but here we go. Truth is, I feel politically homeless. And I believe there's a huge gap in politics right now. Labour is managing decline and calling it stability. You can't redistribute your way to prosperity. You have to build it. The Conservatives spent 14 years without ever articulating a vision for what Britain becomes next. They managed a broken system and left with nothing to show for it. Reform wants to reform what already exists. But reforming a declining system still gives you a declining system. The Greens seem to be in denial of the existence of the bond market. And Restore. The clue is in the name. You can't restore what the world has moved past. I don't want to restore. I want to rebuild. And I want to rebuild in a way that works for everyone. I don't want pensioners terrified of a cliff edge. I don't want our most vulnerable feeling the safety net is being pulled away. A growing economy isn't one that leaves people behind. It's one that generates enough prosperity to genuinely look after those who need it, rather than rationing an ever-smaller pot and pretending that's compassion. But I also want an economy where people want to contribute. Not because they're coerced or shamed. Because they can see themselves in it. A path. An opportunity. A reason to build something. When people feel the system works for them, they show up. When they don't, they check out. Right now, millions have checked out. It's getting worse by the day. And it's so depressing to see because there's so much lost potential. I want energy security. Nuclear, renewables, hydrogen, tidal, all of it. Let's even pioneer energy experiments to deliver what we need. I'm energy agnostic. What I'm not agnostic about is importing 44% of our energy with almost no storage. Every time the world sneezes, we catch pneumonia. That has to stop. I want a planning system that lets people build. Houses. Factories. Labs. The UK's inability to build is not a law of nature. It's a choice. And it's strangling us. I have no doubt there are many creative solutions to solving the housing crisis, planning laws need to change to allow for it though. I want a country where someone with a mad idea can take a risk, build something, and reap the rewards. I want the weird and wonderful. The garage startups and the mad inventors. That energy exists here. It always has. But we've built a system that suffocates it. I want the UK to be the best place in the world to do business... not a place where OpenAI pull their investment because they feel the country is unworkable. I want us to play to our strengths. Aerospace. Biotech. AI. Creative industries. Clean energy. Instead of mourning what we've lost, build on what we're genuinely good at. Because we're good at a lot. World-beating in much of it. I want us to embrace technology to transform productivity. Not as a threat. As the thing that makes public services world class and gives small businesses superpowers. The countries that harness this wave will thrive. The ones that resist it will fall behind. Let me be clear... we're falling behind. I want young people to believe the future is worth investing in. A 25 year old in this country faces the most expensive housing in the developed world, the highest tax burden in decades, and less security than their parents had at every stage. The birth rate just hit its lowest in 90 years. That's not a statistic. That's a verdict on how young people see their futures. And rather than asking ourselves why, we attack young people for their life choices, instead of giving them an environment to thrive in. And we seem committed to suppressing ambition. We have people actively trying not to aim too high, or reducing what they do, because our tax system punishes them for doing too much. That's diabolical and is a huge waste of talent. I want a country where people can be themselves without life choices being horrifically politicised, in order to drive culture wars to divert attention away from the failures of our central planners. There is a massive gap in British politics. A gap for a vision that says the old model is broken, we're not going back, but the future can be extraordinary if we build it. A vision that rewards hard work, innovation, and risk. That serves everyone. That looks forward rather than back. Like I said, this will come across as naive. I know that. But this is what I'd vote for, and the parties we have right now are nowhere close to this. I know many will come back on this to say this is exactly what party X or party Y offers, but I don't see it. I think that vision would win a lot of hearts and minds. A party offering something people would aspire to, rather than just eliminate what they hate. Because millions of people are waiting for someone to say what they already feel and actually bet on the UK rather than just manage its decline. Obviously, all of this would require difficult choices, levelling with the public about the real state of the country, and trade-offs that will feel uncomfortable. But I'd rather sacrifice and work hard towards something that feels worthwhile than this trajectory of misery we're on right now. Anyway, I'm just a nobody ranting and posting nonsense on X. But that's what I'd like to see. Anyone that offers that vision, gets my vote.

@iAmJoshHunt Take a bow! I think I feel exactly the same. I genuinely don’t feel an affiliation to any of the parties currently and feel they are all missing the answers. I also feel people are looking at a party in hope rather than confidence that they can do anything. Very well said.

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Ah ok so can you explain to me how the greens policy of open borders allowing infinite population increased coupled with their idea to build homes to match the increase works to help tackle climate change when they would have to destroy and build on green belt land to make allow?

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Yes, ice ages are a natural phenomena, natural climate & solar cycles are extremely well known. Thats one of the reasons we know we’ve kicked ourselves out of the natural cycle, we should be in a cooling phase again now, & instead are rapidly warming the planet.

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Ah you can tell that with your economic knowledge

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris I’m not a fan, I’ve no idea who he is & I’m not really interested in economics. I’ve a science background and a landowner managing land for biodiversity, hence being very very sure that we can mitigate the climate situation we have caused. Perfectly possible.

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris There was an ice age before we did any of that!

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris So you genuinely believe that burning millions upon millions of years worth of stored solar energy in the form of fossil fuels in mere decades would have zero consequences? Does that sound like any kind of physics you ever learnt at school?

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris I’m sure there’s lots but if you are a big fan of Murphy I can’t really take your ideas seriously. Ah yeah of course it is a theory. Climate is always changing and there is not much we can do to control it. Especially not with a population rising 9 billion.

@SteveButler82 @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Its OK, he’s not the only one to critique it, still just a theory in invented by humans like all economic systems. The climate & biodiversity crisis is not a theory unfortunately. I very much wish it was.

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris The idea we can control the climate 🤣🤣🤣

@CampaignChorus @FPLTachanka @MrTCHarris Ah Richard Murphy, the economist who couldn’t even see inflation coming after the Covid lockdown! He’s totally clueless and useless. Debunked by most rational people. The climate and biodiversity crisis is a theory too you don’t have to subscribe to either. 1/2

@matthewdmarsden Not to mention speedrunning replacement levels of immigration into the country.

The current Irish government supports: • Abortion Rights • Same-Sex Marriage • LGBTQ+ Rights and Inclusion • Gender Equality • Secularism and Reduced Church Influence • Pro-EU Integration • Climate and Environmental Action Yeah. Super right wing.

@CharlotteCGill Probably on commission from them

Why is he so obsessed with pushing the EU?
