There are more than 500 mosques in London, but they chose to pray on the grounds of Westminster Abbey, the most sacred site in the Anglican Church.

Why?

PRIME MINISTER ANDY BURNHAM — COME TO PIDDINGTON. @andyburnham

See what Whitehall sees only on a map.

A village of 350 people.
46 children.
No shop.
No pub.
No substantial infrastructure.

Drive the fast rural roads — stretches with no pavement and no safe pedestrian route to the nearest town, six miles away.

Now consider the proposal: accommodation for up to 1,250 male asylum seekers on the edge of our village. More than three times our entire population.

Explain to our 46 children and their families how a development of this scale will work safely.
Tell us where the infrastructure is.
Tell us what the policing plan is — because when we asked, none was provided.

Cherwell District Council has stated there was no prior engagement or consultation before the announcement. Explain why.

You have spoken about giving places outside Westminster a voice. Ours is clear.

96% of those voting supported a referendum on our future.

We are not asking you to read another letter. We are asking you to come here.
Walk the village.
Meet the residents.
See the roads.
Answer the questions.

Do not make decisions about Piddington from Whitehall.

350 people.
46 children.
One village that refuses to be ignored.

We are Piddington.
THE VILLAGE THAT ROARED.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed

Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed."

COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!"

NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE."

COP: "Put your hand in the cuff."

Nowak says he can't breathe again.

Then again while they just stand there.

"We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?"

THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!!

THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.

UK state pension is £241.30 per week after 35 years of National Insurance contributions.

The guaranteed minimum income for someone who has paid nothing into the system is £238.00 per week.

That means if you do the right thing, work and pay into the system you benefit by £3.30 per week 🤯

Just how is this right?

🚨 Dominic Cummings said:

"Whitehall will break the law to prevent Reform UK winning power. They'll leak medical records, tax records. They'll bug his phone and leak that. They'll do anything that they need to."

Just a reminder

[Rachel Rebecca Halliwell @Rachelhalliwel5]

Never forget what Starmer said.
Police in riot gear raided my home. They arrived with a key and a saw at the ready. My 16-year-old son was handcuffed while I was detained in a room as officers searched the entire property from top to bottom. He was arrested solely for being present at the protest.
In the same town, my 12-year-old daughter was groomed, raped, beaten and died. Despite an admission of guilt, the perpetrator was only requested to attend a voluntary interview.
This is two-tier policing in practice.

[Lyndsey Taylor @calmdowntaylor]

Strange isn't it, two people who deliberately killed a police officer are set for early release due to overcrowding, but a man who recently threw a traffic cone in the direction of officers and hitting nobody, is currently in prison for the next two years.

It now turns out that the Defence Secretary, Wes Streeting, received thousands of pounds worth of donations linked to a notorious crypto fraudster, Sam Bankman-Fried.

Will Sky News be harassing his relatives?

Will the BBC go to his constituency to speak to locals?

I doubt it.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

When Andy Burnham jets off on holiday this week, convicted fraudster Louise Haigh will be in charge of Britain.

An appalling insult to this country.

Jeremy Clarkson has been refused permission to sell food he grew himself, twice. In the same window, central government overruled a Lincolnshire council to put solar panels across 1,214 hectares of grazing land, an area the size of Heathrow.

Run the two columns side by side, because the pattern is the whole story.

He asked to open a restaurant in his own lambing shed. Refused.

He asked for a car park for the people already blocking the lane. Refused.

He asked to sell food produced more than sixteen miles away. Capped at sixteen.

He asked for a barn to store his own harvest, so he would not have to sell at whatever price August offered. Full application required.

He asked about the restaurant again. Enforcement notice, and six weeks judged ample to put the building back as it was.

Now the other column.

Had he covered those same fields in solar panels, the council could have refused and been overruled from Whitehall, as Lincolnshire was in October 2025.

Had he grown maize to feed an anaerobic digester, nobody would have written to anybody.

Had he taken £532 a hectare from Defra to grow a legume fallow, he would have been paid to leave a crop standing that may not be harvested, grazed or sold. Defra cut that rate this year and gave the reason in writing: it had become attractive enough to take land out of food production.

Had he sold the lot to a data centre, a battery park or a Chinese pig unit, all four of which he listed in his column last week, the paperwork would have moved considerably faster than a farm shop's.

There is your planning system. Every use of English farmland is easier to permit than farming.

Two hundred of his acres grew nothing at all this year, and the queue of people who want that ground for something other than food is already forming.

He is not being stopped from developing the countryside. He is being stopped from feeding it.

Three charged with the stabbing murder of Christopher Bradbury, 44, in Shelton, Stoke-on-Trent.

Hassan Ahmed, 19
Dhannish Mahmood, 19
Subhan Nadeem, 20

A British man is dead. Three young men are charged with his murder.
And yet this will barely register on the national news.

If the victim and the perpetrators had been reversed, this would have been wall-to-wall coverage for a week. Politicians would be lining up. Every newspaper would be running it on the front page.

The outrage would be endless.

Instead it’s a quiet local story that most people will never hear.

Christopher Bradbury was loved by his family.

His life mattered.

The selective silence says everything about whose lives the media decides are worth mourning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We now have a Two Tier Media!!

Hold on a minute....

Ten years ago, an extra 2% charge was added to our council tax bills to help fund local social care

The Adult Social Care Precept

So what happened to that money?

WORKING PARENTS ARE BEING TREATED LIKE FOOLS!!

Imagine this.

You get up at 6am every morning while it’s still dark.

You go to work, you graft, you pay your taxes, and you try to give your kids a better life.

Then you find out that parents who don’t work and live on benefits will now get an extra £4,500 a year just because their child starts an apprenticeship.

And you?

You get nothing.

This isn’t just policy.

It feels personal.

Working families are the ones holding this country together. We pay for the schools, the hospitals, the benefits system itself. Yet time and time again we’re the ones left at the back of the queue.

Under the new scheme, families on Universal Credit will be compensated when their teenager starts an apprenticeship so they don’t lose money.

On paper it sounds helpful. In reality it’s another reminder that the system looks after those who take more than they give, while the people who keep everything going are expected to just shut up and pay.
It should always pay more to work than to stay on benefits.

That’s not right-wing. That’s not left-wing. That’s basic fairness.

When a government keeps rewarding the least deserving and ignoring the people who actually fund it, something is badly broken.

How much longer are ordinary working families expected to put up with this?

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Madness.
Unemployed parents on benefits to be given £4,500 a year if their kid becomes an apprentice.

What about working parents? You know, the fools paying taxes for that bung.
Labour rewards the least deserving. https://t.co/Gq8L7e8eKx

🚨 JEREMY CLARKSON BLASTS ANDY BURNHAM FOR APPOINTING ANGELA EAGLE TO RUN THE COUNTRYSIDE.

Jeremy Clarkson has just hit the nail on the head regarding the absolute state of Labour's approach to British farming.

Growing food in Britain is becoming financially impossible.

Clarkson was forced to leave 200 acres of his own farm completely empty this year because planting wheat or barley guarantees a heavy loss!

And how does Andy Burnham respond to struggling British farmers? He appoints Angela Eagle as Environment Secretary! 🤡

A career politician who has never worked on a farm and has never run a business in her entire life.

As Clarkson rightly said, putting Angela Eagle in charge of the countryside is like putting Alan Carr in charge of the British Army!

Our Westminster elite are actively crushing British agriculture with Net Zero red tape, insane energy bills, and family farm taxes. They would rather import cheap foreign produce than protect the hardworking British families who keep this country fed.

How can a politician with zero real world farming or business experience dictate the future of our rural economy?

SHARE this everywhere to stand with British farmers! 🇬🇧🔥

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!
