Mr B.C

Second day of the Ukrainian rent boy trial. Where are you @BBCNews @DailyMail @GBNEWS @guardiannews @Channel4News you fucking cowards HERES WHAT I HEARD… ☕️

Not entirely sure what there is to add. Barton demonstrated conclusively due process was not followed. He also demonstrated conclusively pressure was applied, including to the DV process. The complete opposite of what Keir Starmer told the House.

It's not simply "damaging". It's clear evidence (again) that Starmer lied to the House.

I promise you, Ro Khanna, my daughter was scared when she was forced to take her last breath. I was not there to hold her as she slipped away. For years, Americans were told about “robust vetting” and “screening.” My family learned the cost of those false assurances when an illegal immigrant, driving intoxicated and in this country unlawfully, killed my daughter under the very policies you champion and still defend. Oh, and he got a release date — because of course he did. Katie got the grave. Katie’s family got a life sentence of grief while he got another chance. Your one-sided hyperbolic rhetoric would fit right in with J.B. Pritzker, his allies and the Illinois media that protects him. How far we have fallen when men like you are treated as moral leaders while families like mine are left with graves, not justice. Bang-up job sir!

As I wrote this morning, Starmer lied to the House. There is now no doubt. Barton has confirmed the pressure that was placed on civil-servants to appoint Mandelson at pace also extended to the DV process.

Another one gone. He paid hundreds of £ millions in UK tax and donated £45m to UK charities. But he’s had enough and left now. Moved to Italy/Abu Dhabi. Guess who’ll have to pay even more tax now to make up the shortfall?

Immigrants to the UK took £15 billion in benefits in 18 months. £10.5 bn went to households with at least one unemployed foreign national. The number of immigrants claiming universal credit more than doubled since 2022. Economic and cultural suicide.🤯 dailymail.com/news/article-1…

We must make life unbearably tough for foreigners that we do not want in Britain. We owe these people no warmth whatsoever. Be cold. Be distant. Treat them like outsiders because that is exactly what they are.

Serious question - why would any serious person listen to Zac Polanski, let alone VOTE for the Greens? I need a cogent reason, not a ludicrous comment such as he appeals to the Young. The Young are better educated than my generation! So should know better!

You've been looking for two years. Saved the deposit. Got the mortgage rate locked in. Paid the solicitor. Paid for the survey. Exchange due tomorrow. Then the estate agent rings. The council has offered £20,000 more. Cash buyer. No chain. The vendor takes it. You were tomorrow's buyer. Didn't matter. You still owe the solicitor £2,200. The survey money is gone. Your landlord says he has new tenants lined up for June. A friend explains the logic. A hotel room costs the council thousands a month. Mortgage on that house: maybe half that. The £20,000 premium pays back quickly. The spreadsheet wins. In Richmond, Westminster Council bought a block of 32 flats for about £16m to use as temporary accommodation. Sitting tenants were given notice. One neighbour put it better than any politician: people are being made homeless to house the homeless. Crawley says temporary accommodation now consumes £2 of every £3 it collects in council tax. The state publishes the homeless. It publishes the hotel bill. It publishes the children in temporary accommodation. But not the displaced. The homeless are counted. The displaced are not.

Fine. But that's not what he said to the House. So he mislead the House.

This is insane. The Treasury knows it is insane. Rachel Reeves has previously said such a policy would be insane.* *using more diplomatic language. Labour isn’t governing now. It’s thrashing around like a wounded viper.

@MerrynSW Stop welfare payments to people with “anxiety” or other made up mental health conditions. Thats about 2M people

It always amazes me that politicians don't just do something about the things people say over and over that they care about!

What do you mean I’m banned from England😂❤️ @ShabanaMahmood have the fish & chips ready for me.

Price controls don’t work, have never worked, and will never work. It’s so depressing being governed by economic illiterates.

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.
