New Zealand just showed more guts than the UK ever has.

They brought in a brutal, zero-nonsense welfare reset: if you’re fit to work and you repeatedly refuse job offers or training, your benefits get cut.

No more endless excuses. No more freeloading.

Meanwhile, in Britain, we are the complete opposite.

Our establishment mindset is soft, spineless, and trapped in a culture of subsidizing lifelong dependency.

We let people sit at home for years while hard-working, exhausted taxpayers pay for it.

New Zealand is actively choosing a culture of personal responsibility and self-respect.

Britain is actively choosing comfortable, managed decline.

Which country has the healthier moral mindset?

New Zealand does, and now you know why they keep rising while we keep falling behind.

Whether it’s blue or red in #WorldCupFinal2026 I hope I made by position clear

@WestHam_Central Is this drama still not finished? Didn’t it say that one of Brady’s last jobs was to organise the sale of the Gold shares to Kretinsky.

@WestHamViews_ For old gits like me there are some big names there. Looks like 1/2 league one in 76/77. Shows that history means very little. We have a hell of a fight on our hands and to be effective we need #SullivanOut

I am no fan of Keir Starmer. But if he stands up to Trump & prevents the UK from entering into another potentially disastrous military conflict in the Middle East, he will gain respect for that. It’s time for him to channel Hugh Grant in Love Actually.

Just putting some posts out there without comment

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Due to reported missile attacks, British nationals in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates should immediately shelter in place.

Remain indoors in a secure location, avoid all travel and follow instructions from the local authorities.

[Andy Battson @AndyJBatt]

@FDA_union Pretty sure they are not the only Govt dept where staff feel like this 😢

[Andy Battson @AndyJBatt]

Useful guide for any UK dual nationals. Worth sharing around
