@Zero_4 National economies are not like a houshold budget. Inflicting austerity upon them is economically iliterate. When governments cut spending, their income falls https://t.co/M2ZBeUI7HT
@Katie_Lam_MP First point. In 2021, didnโt Priti Patel say sheโd finally ended freedom of movement? Was she lying? Second point, our young people used to be able to easily live and work in 27 other countries before Patel said, โsheโd finally ended freedom of movementโ.
@Helen_Whately Seeing as the Tories are currently so anti-net zero, a couple of facts. Over 200,000 coal mining jobs were lost between 1980 and 1994, reducing the industry's workforce by 90%, the collapse of the industry deeply impacted mining towns across Britain to this day
@MichelleDewbs "Why are people blaming Farage?" Thereโs a famous TV debate between Enoch Powell and the intellectual, Jonathan Miller, where Miller tells Powell that ordinary people are likely to act in alarm if authority figures like him tell them that should be their reaction.
@RogerHelmerMEP Simple research reveals the European Union generates circa โฌ23 trillion in nominal GDP accounting for 16% of total global economic output. This places the EU as the second or third-largest economy in the world, depending on which metric output it's measured by
@afneil The three day week which the right constantly bleat about only lasted for the the first eight weeks of 1974 (under a Conservative Heath led government) ๐
@Helen_Whately@Telegraph From the British Medical Journal: One million excess deaths were linked to deprivation between 2009 and 2020, Michael Marmot has told the Royal College of Physicians annual conference. 148โ000 can be directly linked to Tory austerity measures https://t.co/YurFutT2TO
@KEdge23 The same old never ending neoliberal story from the Tories which is cuts! cuts! cuts! That is, apply the leeches, and when the patient gets sicker, apply them again.
@ToryVote_ That Britain can be saved by "our oil" is stupid on multiple levels because it isnโt ours. Energy privatisation means that if more North Sea oil and gas fields are opened up, the beneficiaries would be the private multinational energy companies that extract it, not Britain.
@mikegardner_wb@DanielJHannan@TerryHale3105 When we were an EU member, one of the fatal flaws in the anti-EU argument was treating the EU as if it were a hostile entity (as though we weren't in the EU), a totally braindead attitude in my opinion that ignored all the benefits of membership.
@BenKentish Just think how the left have felt over the past decade watching the right obsess over the word โwokeโ, or black lives matter and taking the knee, or burkas, or the trans issue, and nearly forgotโฆthe importance of flying flags! all whilst economy went to hell in a handcart.
@SaulStaniforth The usual establishment โgroupthinkโ. Farmers have been complaining for years that supermarkets use their power to squeeze farmers by driving down purchasing prices. Quoting a Suffolk farmer: โThe public pays more, but the farmer doesnโt get more.โ

@Helen_Whately@ConHome Spending other peopleโs money? When in power the Conservatives managed an extraordinary feat. They trebled the National Debt whilst increasing taxes to record levels and making swingeing cuts; i.e. they took more and more and delivered less and less!
@Matt_VickersMP Whilst they line their pockets and those of the already rich, the โstanding on your own two feetโ schtick that the Conservative Party hands down to their obsequious minions is the biggest subterfuge in history...sadly many fall for it.
@JamesCleverly Valid criticism is okay but not if peppered with lies and deception. The decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Payment was reversed in June 2025. However, Tory politicians and our msm continue to sow confusion that it was permanently scrapped...and people believe them.
@tim_oates1@GuidoFawkes Thereโs this thing called Google that allows you to Google what the National Debt was in 2010 and what it was in 2024 when the Tories were finally booted out. Cameron and those following ballooned the National Debt...whilst making cuts.
@spectator@ShippersUnbound In the meantime, Farage is completely fireproof. For instance, he could be caught taking a bung from a Thai based crypto billionaire and nothing would touch him.
