Back in the 60's the message was clear, we are all human beings. That was a goal we could all share & strive for. Then the Left brought skin colour back into politics after we had spent 50 years gradually ignoring it. We will get back on track. Identity Politics Must fall.

Carney on EU associate membership: “Canada as a whole become a more independent, more sovereign nation.”
How exactly do you protect Canada’s sovereignty by moving decision-making closer to Brussels?
Even worse, how do you expect your economy to improve by getting closer to this Marxist wonderland?

The threat is completely artificial, it's a realization from within that an external enemy is the only way to avoid implosion.

HMRC can now seize money from your bank account without even having a meeting.
As someone who's been debanked, this sets a dark precedent.
Reform will fight this at every turn.

One man is running the Tory op against me.
Even the Daily Mail is scared to write his actual name.
He’s a full blown psychopath with kompromat on all Tories because he used to run sex parties/orgies.
He’s the man who introduced Kemi to her husband Hamish.
They call him “Dr No.” Because he’s a real life Bond villain. He likes to be called “The Wolf.”
His real name?
Dougie Smith.

The hidden tax measure in the Budget is huge for people paying tax under self-assessment - sole traders, partners, landlords, retired investors.
For 6th April 2028-29, you currently pay 50% of your income tax late in the tax year in question (in January 2029), 50% just after the year end (in July 2029) with any make-up payment in January 2030.
Under the new proposals you will pay your tax perhaps monthly or quarterly (TBC) from April 2029 onwards. A rough analysis suggests the impact is to draw about 50% of your tax bill forward, a huge cashflow boost to HMRC and a significant funding issue for the self-employed.
The Treasury recognises this, and expects to raise £1.3bn of additional tax in 29/30 as a result of this change.
The cashflow impact of the accelerated charge will send some businesses to the wall.

LABOUR TAX RAIDS ON BANK ACCOUNTS:
“It gets worse, folks, unfortunately. On your screens right now, you see a post by ours that says ‘Breaking’. And this is a screen grab from HMRC. I’m going to blow this up on your screen so you can see it yourselves, where this quote has been pulled by me directly, personally, from HMRC’s website. This is not fake. This is a real screen grab from the ‘Gov. UK’ Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) website. We’ve written: 'Breaking, updated HMRC guidance. Tax collectors will break into your property to seize your valuables without a warrant’. There on the screen, you can see the link to the HMRC website. And unfortunately, just going to read it for you now, because again, to reiterate, this is a real image from HMRC. This is an update on their real website that I personally grabbed. What did they say? They said: ‘Although the possessions can only be listed’, your possessions ‘can only be listed, by an HMRC officer, they can be collected by private auctioneers employed by us’. The key line in highlight. ‘Whoever is collecting the goods can use a locksmith to enter premises to remove the goods if necessary. They do not need a warrant from the courts or to give in any notice to you first'. So this bunch of maniacs in power seek to empower HMRC to be able to take taxes directly from your bank account. Meanwhile, from business properties, if small family businesses find themselves unable to pay their taxes and are struggling, they seek to empower HMRC to enter your property, even using a locksmith without a warrant, to seize your goods, and they don’t need to give you any notice that they’re about to do this.” Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOR CREED

Incredibly, a Sudanese woman has won the right to stay in Britain thanks to her marriage to her first cousin.
It is almost beyond parody.
She claimed her ECHR “right to a family life” would be breached if she was forced to leave.
This despite the Home Office suspecting that her “marriage” was fake, as no record of it exists in Sudan.
Her “husband” was an “asylum seeker” who travelled to Britain via Libya.
Sham marriages are a tool of choice for fraudsters breaking into Britain to live here at your expense.
In fact a Home Office whistleblower told the Telegraph 99% of asylum applications were fraudulent.
The Tories and Labour have made our immigration system a laughing stock.
A Reform government will end this madness.
We will ban cousin marriage, end asylum in Britain and deport all illegal migrants.
We will take our country back.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's Pentagon chief of staff, says he knew in advance of the plot to take out Georgescu in Romania. "We got Calin Georgescu out. I know we did it because someone called me and told me they were gonna do it. And they did it and he was gone."

From Newsnight to Gobshite in 18 bitter months ...
In an interview with Paul Thorpe broadcast on 11 May 2026, I alleged that Mr Harborne had fixed the 2019 General Election result by conspiring with the then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the then leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, to ensure a majority for Mr Johnson's party by agreeing to pay each of them £1 million, which he duly did in November 2022, in return for the Brexit Party standing down all 317 of its candidates for Conservative-held seats. I made that allegation in reliance on information I had been given. I now accept that the information did not provide a sufficient basis for so serious an allegation, and I should not have made it. I withdraw that allegation and apologise to Mr. Harborne for the distress caused.

🚨💬🎙️| MAURICIO POCHETTINO DELIVERS AN EMOTIONAL MESSAGE TO HARRY KANE AFTER WINNING THE BALLON D'OR
🗣️ "Harry, the Ballon d'Or. My captain, my striker. Looking at you with that golden trophy today, my heart is full."
🗣️ "I remember the work we put in together at Tottenham. That belief we built, step by step, when nobody else believed in us. I still remember Madrid... the tears, the pain of the night we almost won the Champions League."
🗣️ "That night broke our hearts, you could have won your first Ballon d’Or that year, Harry, but it defined who you are. You never stopped, you never gave up, and you carried that mentality everywhere you went.”
🗣️ “The world finally sees what I saw in your eyes every single day on the training pitch."
🗣️ "Enjoy this moment with your family. Breathe it in. You earned every single piece of history."
🗣️ "you have made me proud my friend."

"Who is bankrolling Nigel Farage's party?" asks Bridget Phillipson. "Labour will protect our democracy from foreign influence."
Right. Same question back.
Who is bankrolling Labour, and the machine around it?
Gary Lubner. South African. Former Autoglass chief. Millions.
Lord Alli. Buys the clothes, lends the flat.
George Soros. Money into Best for Britain and Fair Vote, routed through a London outpost, which is how a foreign fortune gets round a ban on foreign donations.
Pierre Omidyar. French-Iranian, eBay founder, funding the campaign groups.
Bill Gates. In for the photo call.
Swedish philanthropists. Bloomberg.
And Verbatim, which made the Channel 4 sting she is riding, is itself funded from abroad. So the watchdog on foreign money is on foreign money.
And those are off the top of my head. No research. Give me an afternoon and the list fills a page.
So the party promising to protect democracy from foreign influence is up to its neck in it, legally, through the same door, and has proposed no cap that would inconvenience a single person in the room. They held a drinks party for them in Downing Street.
The question is not who is bankrolling Farage. It is why Labour thinks the answer changes depending on whose name is on the cheque.
"Protect our democracy from foreign influence." They would not know where to start.
Who is bankrolling Nigel Farage's party?
What interests are they seeking to advance?
Are they acting in Britain's best interests?
Reform UK are engulfed in sleaze and scandal. Labour will protect our democracy from foreign influence.

For the record. I like Kemi Badenoch. As far as I am concerned the lady is British.
The issue around nationality has only become a thing because we have woken up to the fact many people here in the UK are profoundly anti British & wish to destroy British culture.
Ethnic British, born British or adopted British is fine by me, I don’t give a fuck so long as you love Britain & you want to live life as a Briton.
We need to stop all the rubbish around ethnicity & concentrate on clearing out stupid anti British cultural values which have no place in Britain.
My beef with Kemi is that she has stuck with a compromised party. EU priests control the Tory Party & it is pretty obvious Kemi is the current Heseltine Candidate. All true conservatives have migrated to ReformUK.

The real danger facing Britain today is the prospect of a left-wing alliance of Labour, Lib. Dems. and Greens, propped up by SNP, Plaid Cymru and goodness knows who else, presiding over further decline, bankruptcy and societal division. The British people need to wake up before it's too late! Only Reform UK and @Nigel_Farage will implement a plan to rescue our country and put the British people first! 🇬🇧

Rosindell has spent his entire career being called a loony. In the early 2000s he was widely mocked for suggesting the dumbing down of the Lord Chancellor and creation of the Supreme Court would politicise our justice system…

If HMRC are allowed to take money from individuals’ bank accounts, as proposed in the budget today, then we are heading to a dark place.
This tool could be used against anyone deemed to be a threat by the government of the day.
🚨 NEW: John Healey is set to announce the following in his Budget later
- The gas standing charge will be scrapped to save £27 a year on a typical bill
- Green levies on energy bills will be scraped "for good"
- NHS prescription charges will be frozen at £9.90 for another year
- Poorer households on benefits will receive extra help with energy bills before January's sharp rises
- The VAT cut on electricity bills, which was due to expire in April, will be extended (though it's not clear if this will be announced in the Budget or separately)
- The Government will remove the link between gas and electricity prices, which currently inflates household bills, "in the long term"
- Banks will face higher taxes, with the surcharge on their profits potentially rising from 3% to 8%, making it the Budget’s biggest revenue raiser
- HMRC will be given powers to seize money from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their tax
- The freeze on rail fares will reportedly not be extended beyond April
- Online retailers like Amazon, eBay and Temu will be made responsible for collecting unpaid VAT from sellers to fund a cut in business rates for high street shops
- The thresholds for income tax will be frozen again so another half a million people may be dragged into the higher rate
- January's planned increase in fuel duty will be cancelled
- Pensioners relying solely on the state pension will see their tax-free allowance rise to £13,036, in line with the pension increase, so they don't pay income tax
- Billions in long-term borrowing to invest in defence firms and raise the share of GDP spent on defence (without breaking fiscal rules, as the investments are expected to generate returns)
- The upcoming "Your First Home" scheme will be made more generous to provide greater support for middle-income earners
- The Budget will also assume the Rosebank oil field is approved, which will generate "significant tax revenues"

Labour Minister Wes Streeting said we have “1,000 days to prepare for war.” But they refuse to stop the cross-Channel invasion. How can we defend Britain when an army of unidentified men arrives by boat every day, and gets police protection + hotel rooms?
