EXCLUSIVE: Labour advisers at the Home Office broke the law by meeting candidates for a senior Civil Service job, the appointments watchdog has found. A letter uncovered by this Substack reveals that Baroness Stuart ruled their involvement a “Fundamental Breach” - the watchdog’s most serious category - and ordered a targeted audit. The rules exist to stop political advisers filling the permanent Civil Service with political allies. Yet the government refuses to say how many meetings took place or whether the recruitment process was suspended or cancelled. Read my investigation below. stevenedginton.com/p/reveale…

He told a 65% Leave town he'd respect Brexit, then got the job and started measuring up for Brussels. Every Brexit-backing seat should remember Makerfield.

Labour are gifting Indefinite Leave to Remain, and soon citizenship, to millions of migrants who came here just 5 years ago. But who let them all in? The Tories. Only Reform will deliver real change.

Lots of quixotic folk think Britain is reverting to 2-party politics. That Reform is finished, Tories and Labour back. Events in France offer a corrective. Politics as we knew it are over. Demographic change is all. Britain is just behind the French arc. Chaos is immanent. And Reform’s time yet to come.

Reform isn’t The Truman Show. Political parties deserve some privacy behind closed doors. When newspapers hacked private voicemails, it was a national scandal. Why is spying celebrated when the target is Nigel Farage?stevenedginton.com/p/the-med…

Who Really Pays For Mass Migration? Since 2015, 2.3 million of the 2.8 million new UK payroll jobs have gone to migrants. Economist @HM_Kucharski's research suggests the average worker outside London is £1,000 a year worse off as a result. Who’s paying for mass migration, and why won’t anyone talk about it? Watch the full episode, hosted by @kafkaswife, to find out:

Reform will suspend the asylum system. We can't afford to risk the British people's safety.

Your taxpayers money is literally being spent on training foreign prisoners on how to be British citizens. And it gets even more insane…

I’ve been trying to work out why I dislike the Tories even more than before their conference. It’s fundamentally because I know now they just don’t get it. They have steered Britain almost to a point of no return. They arrogantly refer to this as ‘mistakes were made’. These were not errors, or even the result of incompetence. To promise things over and over again and then not only not deliver, but do the complete opposite is pure betrayal. Alongside the lack of humility, is the lack of urgency. While @reformparty_uk are pushing for a national state of emergency, the Tories have adopted a business as usual approach. Their tone is about fixing government here and there while readjusting taxes for their base. Apparently the high earners will keep more of their money while Britain burns around them. The choice between @reformparty_uk and the conservatives is a choice between the radical or the (so called)‘sensible’. Given the state of the country we desperately need the radical. Without that conviction real change will never come. Choosing the sensible, is throwing in the towel on Britain and accepting its all over.
Sky's @BethRigby breaks down Kemi Badenoch's keynote speech at the party's conference. With shots aimed at Reform and Burnham, Rigby says the Tory leader "came out swinging" and is "up for the fight". 🔗ttps://trib.al/deF7Lho

The Afghan resettlement schemes are a crime committed against the British people, committed in plain sight by Tory ministers. Almost 40,000 Afghans have been smuggled in. 10 TIMES the number the Tories initially claimed. They spent £3.1 billion of your money on these schemes, and that will rise to DOUBLE that within a few years. Afghan nationals in Britain are 22x more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than Brits. The Tory ministers who did this do not care. They boasted about it. Could not stop gushing about how many they had imported. The average resettled household has 5.5 people. One man brought 22 family members. The fraud committed on these schemes is off the charts. Nobody voted for this. They must be held to account.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Fellow Reform UK member Robert Jenrick is partly responsible for this. "Through the tireless work of our dedicated Home Office staff we have now provided these Afghans with the homes they need to begin the next chapter of their life in the UK. " - Robert Jenrick gov.uk/government/new…

In their conference tapestry, the Conservative Party somehow failed to mention the arrival of 4,200,000 migrants (the so-called "Boriswave") that arrived under the last Conservative government. If they had, this is what it might look like!

Our nation is being invaded. Our young talent and our job creators are leaving. Our allies are now fleeing. Our energy prices are soaring. Our prisons and courts are a mess. Our dignity is being stripped away. Our social contract has been torn apart. Our history and culture are increasingly undermined. But our resolve must still remain. This may be a broken Britain. But it’s a broken Britain we can fix. Indeed we must fix it. But our time is running out. We don’t have the luxury to be divided. We owe it to those who came before us and who gave their lives for this great country. We must come together, under one leadership and one banner and speak with one voice, loudly and united: Britain is broken. Britain needs Reform.

Totalitarian bastards. Danny Tommo will remain locked up in HMP Winchester until a 1st March 2027 court appearance, with a further court listing (different charges, re phone PIN) on the 12th November 2027. If he is found innocent on 1st March 2027 he will still stay in prison until his second court hearing in Nov 2027. Are senior British military officers OK with Britain as a genuine left-wing revolutionary dictatorship?

I hope there will be retrospective prosecutions of every politician who contributed to vast, rapid demographic change in our country. The change the country’s citizens specifically voted against.
