In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.

He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.

Two years later, it was over. 🧵

Scrutiny really matters in politics. The Tories held 16 hustings in 2019 and 12 hustings in 2022 in all parts of the UK when they were changing leader/Prime Minister.
Party members grilled them, some on camera, some in private. I reported on many of them. These debates allowed voters to be ready for what was coming.
We have had nothing remotely like this scrutiny of the next Labour PM Andy Burnham who replaces Sir Keir Starmer two weeks on Monday.

Did your Labour MP son, or your Labour MP son-in-law advise you to post that nonsense?

Or was it your daughter who is special advisor to Yvette Cooper?

Do enlighten us, Labour shill.

A cross-dressing man who calls himself 'Freazy Warr', who they last featured a week ago in a different story, has found bed bugs in his flat

The fact that Kier Starmer is banning every single social media app for kids EXCEPT Bluesky tells you everything you need to know

It's the most deviant, left wing, degenerate social media available and he wants your kids exclusively on there

👇As a mum of 3 under 16s I take responsibility for my children.

They know their boundaries - in real life and online. The 15 year old uses social media to find jobs, learn more about her hobby / future career, contact her friends and do schoolwork. The 6 and 8 year old do not, because we have never outsourced parenting to a screen.

What “keeps me up at night” is that we have no idea how many people are in the country let alone who they are.

That my girls’ right to privacy has been sacrificed on the altar of trans rights.

That millions of people don’t have jobs.

That youth unemployment is rocketing.

That my local high street is dying and my local pub has shut down.

That the cost of my food shop goes up - seemingly every week.

That our defence is not fit for purpose.

Etc.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Labour have appointed a new adviser at the Ministry of Justice.

And she has extreme views.

She called Henry Nowak's murder “useful” to the Right, and the public reaction to two-tier justice “dangerous”.

This is someone who should be nowhere near our justice system. 🧵

Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee.

She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone.

Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the “far-right” were whipping up ‘anti-migrant hate’.

People like @HumzaYousaf & many more called it ‘bullsh*t’.

Many, including people like @jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her ‘hatred’, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the ‘liar’ they were talking about, was.

A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she’d use the money to buy “machetes and IronBru”

She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

She wasn’t ‘hate-filled’, she was scared.

Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too.

The man and his sister were prosecuted.

How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection.

How shameful that adults will deny their reality.

How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes.

Shame on you all.

I’ll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar.

I won’t hold my breath…

I hope this girl is ok.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.

With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.

A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.

Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.

The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.

Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.

How many more before the thoughts become action?

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so.

The electorate has had enough of 'the media'? No, Gordon, they've had enough of an incompetent government which, to quote Pat McFadden, taxes them to pay benefits; of an economically illiterate Chancellor destroying businesses and increasing unemployment; of a police force that thinks racism is a worse crime than murder; of judges who refuse to jail teenage rapists who filmed themselves degrading their victims. They've had enough of so-called progressives telling them women can have penises and had it up to here with Islamists and other useful idiots mourning murderous mullahs on our streets. They've had enough of being branded "far right" by actual antisemites. But most of all - they've had enough of denialists like you pretending that none of this is happening.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Actually I wrote that in Scotland. But, hey, why let facts get in the way.
City GDP per capita is quite a slippery concept but let’s stick with it and cherry pick Edinburgh.
On the other hand:
Scottish GDP per capita is almost 10% below UK average.
Public spending is now 52% of GDP — a good socialist level — yet Scottish public services are in many cases (schools, NHS waiting lists) worse than England.
Public spending per person is £2,669 more than UK average but revenue per person is £578 less.
Hence your £26 billion budget deficit — an incredible 12% of GDP. Nowhere in Europe comes close.
Westminster fills the gap — or you’d be bust.
You’re welcome.

Two young boys are playing football in a Manchester park when all of a sudden a massive Rotweiller races up to them, seizes one of the boys in its massive jaws and begins shaking the little boy violently from side to side.

The other little boy, thinking quickly, pulled a plank off the wooden fence and jammed it into the dogs collar and twisted. The dog began to choke, then died as it opened its mouth and dropped the first boy.

First aiders ran to the scene to help the injured boy as a journalist from the Manchester Evening News, also on the scene, congratulated the little boy saviour and was already beginning to pen his headline but needed some fact to embellish the story.

“Man Utd hero saves friend from certain death” he wrote out aloud.

“I don’t support Utd” said the little boy.

“Man City fan thinks quickly to help friend in distress” hastily scribbles the journalist.

“But I’m not a city fan either”, complained the little boy.

“Who do you follow?” Asked the irritated journalist.

“Liverpool” proudly exclaimed the little boy

The headlines that night read...

“Scouse Thug Slaughters Family Pet”

And that my friends is how it works in newspaper journalism…

[Esther McVey @EstherMcVey1]

Hi David, I have no idea if you are just ignorant of the facts or if your Prime Minister has set you an example of telling blatant lies and hoping people believe them, but I am afraid this is just utter garbage.
The good news is that if you think it already happens then presumably you will have no problem in agreeing to my Bill to make it ‘compulsory’. Although I suspect logic is as alien to you as the truth.
