Keir Starmer called the House of Lords “indefensible” and promised to replace it with an elected chamber – then quietly created almost 100 new peers, most of them party loyalists, advisers and ex-MPs on lifetime salaries and pensions.
Now, in one of his last acts as prime minister, he’s preparing to ram through yet another list of nearly 20 Labour appointments, entrenching the very system he pledged to abolish.
This isn’t “rebalancing democracy”, it’s industrial‑scale patronage dressed up as constitutional reform. Labour has already more than replaced the 92 hereditary peers it claims to be removing, while leaving the second‑largest legislative chamber on earth even bigger, more bloated and less accountable.
For all the moralising about Tory “cronies and lackeys”, Starmer’s answer is to create his own.
If you think an unelected legislature stuffed with party insiders should never decide your rights, pay and liberties, you’re not the extremist – you’re the democrat.
🚨Important Update🚨
On July 27th and 28th, we will be at the Royal Courts of Justice seeking an emergency injunction to halt recruitment of children for the UK government’s monstrous puberty blockers trial.
We will do what we can to stop a single child ingesting this poison.
Donors who gave the SNP £660k in 2017 and 2019 are to sue the party for the return of their funds with interest. They may also be able to expect compensation for distress and inconvenience. Swinney continues to refuse to repay the money.
Labour MPs picking their ‘Messiah without a Mandate’ - no competition, no public scrutiny, practically no media interviews. Welcome to British democracy under this socialist regime. I suspect the public wants better than this.
Waitrose drops ‘feminine’ label from tampons after trans complaint. Why does everyone allow themselves to be bullied by trans activists? So fed up of this stuff. Ignoring the majority for a loud vicious minority https://t.co/EiTW1Z1Q5F
It just doesn’t stop….
Chris Bryant's on GB News calling Farage corrupt and repeating the "hissy fit" mantra.
This is the man who flipped his second home twice to claim mortgage interest expenses, stamp duty and service charges. In total, he claimed over £92,000 in expenses.
@BenGrahamUK@sue_marie10 You have to wonder what
food they will be serving. Bill Gates’s synthetic meat? Insect protein burgers? Food for the masses to get average life expectancy back down to something the establishment regards as ‘manageable’.
🚨Pakistan has declared it will not take back the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - “under any circumstances”.
Over the last 20 years Tory and Labour governments have sent £6 BILLION of your money in foreign aid to Pakistan in real terms.
They issued 2 MILLION visas to Pakistani nationals.
All in the name of “soft power”.
Yet the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - convicted of raping 30 girls as young as 12 - “cannot be deported” because Pakistan is refusing to take him back.
How POWERFUL do you feel right now?
The Tory Labour uniparty have betrayed hard working Brits, sent our treasure abroad and allowed the rape of British girls by foreign nationals.
Do not fall for the Tory and Labour talking heads and their assets in the press pretending they’re angry.
They sold you out.
They are traitors to their country.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
@BenGrahamUK@DerekMurr2 They only attack those whom they know will ultimately comply. They will never attack those who come from cultures where violence is the currency of normality. Of this they are terrified because their uniform is no longer a shield.
Having entered politics a couple of years ago from the world of business, there was a veteran politician with whom I met regularly.
Someone I had immense respect for and would invariably offer counsel and wisdom which I found incredibly helpful.
I found it remarkable that someone so diminutive in stature could be such a towering presence in any room.
We would discuss challenges and opportunities.
Ann Widdecombe always had time to discuss things in detail, was genuinely motivated to help, and her presence radiated empathy and warmth.
I could also be assured that where she disagreed with a view that I had, she would be direct and forthright in explaining why.
I recall being struck by just how relevant the wisdom of a lady in her late seventies still was in this hyper-modern era.
I will always be grateful to Ann and remember those lunches and long tea meetings at Reform HQ with immense fondness.
She gave so much to this country.
Her multi-decade Parliamentary career, during which she held key ministerial positions means she permanently altered the course of history in this country.
Her legacy is to be one of the most formidable and courageous voices in the upholding of law and order, and to be widely considered a national treasure.
The last lunch we had ended with her enthusiastically saying she would write up some of her advice on sentencing reform, based on her vast experience.
I am so sad I shall never get to read it, nor enjoy such a lunch again.
Rest in Peace Ann.
Reformers,
We are moving through hostile terrain.
The left-wing press is spreading lies about us.
The so-called right-wing press is doing the same, because it is an arm of the Tory party.
Failed Tories are trying to infiltrate us and destroy our agenda from within.
Hold the line.
As a startup party, we have already made history and smashed the two-party system.
We will not back down.
We will defeat the uniparty and break the establishment that has failed and betrayed the British people.
@Nigel_Farage will be our Prime Minister, supported by a majority of turquoise-blooded Reform MPs.
A brighter future awaits Britain. 🇬🇧
Hey .@Go_CheshireWest
Two men put up St George flags on Westminster Bridge, Ellesmere Port on the eve of St George's Day.
You treated them as criminals.
You put them through formal interviews under caution under PACE.
Then you were asked to account for your actions.
So you issued Fixed Penalty Notices and hoped it would go away.
You called the flag of St George illegal advertising. You handed two patriots a £65 fine and hoped they would pay up, shut up and disappear.
It will not go away.
When we asked you to justify the PACE interviews you refused to answer.
When we asked who gave the order you evaded.
When we asked whether an elected member was involved you went silent.
When we put Freedom of Information requests to you, you lied in writing, contradicted yourselves between responses three weeks apart and invented an £11,610 cost to avoid searching your own records.
You thought a £65 fine would make this disappear.
You were wrong.
This is The Flag Scandal. 10 images. Every fact documented. Every lie on the record. Every evasion captured.
We demand the immediate cancellation of both Fixed Penalty Notices.
You work for the people of this borough.
This is not going away.

Meet Count Bin Face .
This isn't some amateur having a giggle . This is an accredited BBC comedy writer who's anti brexit and wants to rejoin the EU according to reports.
Clacton votes 70% to Leave The EU .
Kemi seems very supportive of BinFace.
Kemi along with others are ignoring this very relevant by election,
12,800 people voted Tory in Clacton in 2024, they're probably Brexiteers .
Just dumped and ignored by their own party and a leader happy to mock the election 🤦.
They say they'll stand in the next one 🧐 but that's presuming Farage is found guilty ..
As yet he's under investigation, so innocent until proven guilty .
Any one smell kangaroo droppings?
The Labour Party received around £700,000 from Lord Alli. Starmer received gifts from him valued around £70,000 and £100,000 towards his 2024 election campaign.
Lord Alli, without any official govt role, received a security pass allowing “unrestricted” entry to No. 10. Reports also suggest he exerted significant influence over the selection of Labour parliamentary candidates.
Labour stinks.
