This. If we let Burnham in on a rejoin ticket, it’ll be our own fault for attacking each other, rather than focusing on the common enemy.
If you are right-wing, most of your time should be spent attacking Leftists. There are a lot of easy targets: mass migration, Indian fraud, Third World parasites, Somalian daycares, California money laundering construction projects, prison abolition, transgender child castration, DEI racial discrimination, industrial deregulation of economic cartels, etc.. If you spend most of your time attacking other right-wing groups based on small factional differences, you are functionally a Leftist.

@Nigel_Farage @KemiBadenoch time to put away the sharp cutlery, and sit down and have a chat. @GoodwinMJ is almost certainly correct, and we will face a GE. Which Burnham will win. I’m not sure how forgiving the nation will be, if communism is a result of playground arguments.
Here's what you won't hear much about on the BBC or in the mainstream media class. The Right vote in UK politics is actually stronger today than it was in 2017, 2019, 2024. It's even stronger than when Boris Johnson won his huge landslide in 2019. In 2019, the Tory + Brexit Party vote was 45%. In the latest YouGov, this week, the combined Reform + Tory + Restore vote is even higher, at 47%. But what's the difference? The difference, as I explain in my latest post, is that unlike in 2019 when the Right was able to outflank a divided left, today the Right is more divided while the left is steadily consolidating behind Andy Burnham. Some of the shifts, which I discuss in the post, are significant and point to a wider tactical shift on the Left. The key message? If Right-leaning patriots find a way of unifying and consolidating then they will easily win the next election and start to take back control of Britain. The geography of their support is simply far more 'efficient' than the Left's. But if Right does not consolidate then the Left will dominate the UK into the 2030s, which means more mass immigration, more broken borders, more record taxes, more debt, more managed decline ... I've suggested one way forward in my newsletter which is for Reform to avoid a formal pact with Restore (which would alienate far more voters than it would win), while making it clear that Restore voters must absolutely be part of a 'broad patriotic coalition' that consolidates around Reform -- including Tory voters, Restore voters, non-voters, and so on. Whether there would need to be some kind of accommodation with the Tories in particular areas of the country remains to be seen but on current trends Reform would replace the Tories as the dominant Right party, easily, while nobody would actually hold power. What is crystal clear is that if the Right does not consolidate soon then Britain is going to remain in the grip of an increasingly radical left-wing government that has ZERO interest in addressing people's legitimate concerns about the managed decline of their country and which, if anything, looks determined to accelerate the destruction of Britain ... I raise this now because, personally, I'm increasingly of the view Burnham is going to call a snap election. Even if I'm wrong, the strategic dilemma remains. Post below

@ProcterGamble all your bottles of Fairy in the supermarket seem to be missing about a quarter of their contents. Strangely, the price doesn’t seem to reflect this. Wonder why that is. Shrinkflation perhaps?

@elonmusk this really needs implementation. If our elected officials choose to use X for political purposes/propaganda etc, they should have no option to prevent the public they serve from commenting.
Since government ministers and mayors are supposed to be our servants not our masters, should X prevent grey tick government accounts from turning off replies to their posts?

Pride is both a celebration and a protest. Today we celebrate our LGBTQIA+ communities and the progress we've made, while recommitting to the fight for equality. At a time when rights and representation cannot be taken for granted, London stands with its LGBTQIA+ communities.

He’s also now made you unelectable.
As a Party, we owe Keir Starmer a huge amount. He made us electable again, and led us to a landslide election win only two years ago. He has overseen important achievements since then. I have seen up close a man who loves his country, with a deep sense of public service and duty. That character has re-set our standing on the world stage. He has announced his resignation with dignity, putting the country’s interest first. I thank Keir for all that he has done for our Party and country. We must now come together as a Party, choose a new leader, and show the country that we can do orderly transition well. That requires us to all behave with respect and humility, and show the best of ourselves. We have to show that mainstream progressive politics can change people’s lives for the better, and is up to the task of the challenges we all face. If we fail the consequences for democracy and the country are great and dangerous. The NEC will shortly set out the process.

@KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP THIS is what you have been campaigning for. Either you’re completely naive, given the Orwellian vision of the current Regime, or you’re complicit, and the Uniparty is alive and well. Which is it? @Artemisfornow @alanvibe @prestonjbyrne
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

@MothinAli according to Grok, you’re heavily associated with 5Pillars. @ZackPolanski are you sure your deputy’s values align with the Green Party?
Ladybird Books has published a Happy Pride image on Instagram featuring a Muslim woman in hijab. Ladybird is one of the UK's biggest children's books publishers and its books are read by kids as young as two. The image features a Muslim woman in hijab carrying a baby alongside another woman. A caption reads: "Everyone should be free to be themselves, no matter who they are or who they love." Homosexual acts are strictly forbidden in Islam.

💯. Btw, I’ve noticed you turning replies off on a few posts. That’s a Sadiq Khan move. Don’t be like Sadiq. Take the heat.
Starmer has damn cheek claiming he saved British Steel!! He & Labour wanted, & still want to shut the blast furnaces! Nigel and I forced them to recall Parliament & step into kick out the Chinese firm, Jingye Only @reformparty_uk will invest in those blast furnaces to keep primary steel making capability in UK

Why, exactly, do they need ‘a bit of extra support’?
🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in Manchester UK The insane Local Labour authority - are now building New affordable homes. Nope - not to give away to immigrants for free this time, but exclusively for the LGBTIA++ community. Great Britain is no longer a serious country.

Hey @IfindWankers how about a new hashtag #repliesoffwankers name and shame. Name and shame.
No @realDonaldTrump, you can’t have Greenland. What’s more, the UK will not be intimidated from defending multilateralism and supporting our allies. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders. It is up to them and Denmark what their future looks like.

This needs stopping. I assume this is always been common practice, but it means that constituents essentially have no actual voice in parliament, and the role of MPs is actually completely redundant.
Replying to @Shatterface
Labour MPs will have been forced to vote with the Govt or face punishment, it's the way it works here so actually abstaining is pretty brave as it can also result in consequences...

@RoyalMail I like to give the postie a good review, when prompted by email after a collection. Hopefully, they get some recognition for it. However, I’m not going to write an essay about it, which I’m required to do now, in order to progress through the survey. Sort it out.
