“Gary’s Economics” is exactly what it says on the tin.
It seems clear Gary hadn’t even considered foreign investment in his socialist economic theory.
His wealth tax would cost the UK between 2%-5% of GDP in the long run.
Embarrassing.
How many of the Moroccan fans filmed attacking police and causing havoc on Edgware Road last night will actually be tracked down, charged, and fast-tracked to prison like Connor Bishop? He got two years and eight months for throwing a traffic cone that didn't even hit anyone. Will we see the same energy from the police here, or is justice only swift for certain people?
📣🚨 METROPOLITAN POLICE OFFER UNRESERVED APOLOGY TO GRAHAM LINEHAN AND PAY HIM £25,000
The Metropolitan Police have at long last offered an unreserved apology to Graham Linehan and paid him £25,000.
Last September, the Irish comedian and co-creator of Father Ted was arrested by five armed police officers as he landed at Heathrow Airport.
His crime? Three gender-critical posts on X.
He was arrested, taken to a police station and questioned for several hours. In the early hours of the following morning, he was rushed to hospital after his blood pressure rose to dangerously high levels.
The Free Speech Union is proud to have supported Graham in taking legal action against the Metropolitan Police for wrongful arrest and breaches of his free speech rights.
General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, has said: “I’m beginning to lose count of the number of cases we’ve fought in which the police have arrested someone for a tweet, decided to take no further action and then had to pay them substantial compensation for wrongful arrest.
“At some point you’d think the penny would drop: police our streets, not our tweets.”
While we welcome the Metropolitan Police’s apology and compensation payout to @Glinner, this should never have happened in the first place.
It is high time the police focused on our streets, not our tweets.
Watch Graham’s reaction below 👇

We didn't used to live like this
We shouldn't have to live like this
1,000 workers from Pakistan brought 6,000 dependants - a staggering 6 to 1 ratio
Many “workers” ended up in vape stores or kebab shops
Low-skilled workers and dependents are still flooding in - pressuring public services and housing
We must end mass low-skilled migration right now. Enough is enough.
I’ll happily discuss Nigel Farage triggering a by-election.
Right after we’ve discussed Andy Burnham triggering an MP by-election and then a mayoral by-election.
I’m just trying to establish whether taxpayer-funded elections are always a scandal, or only when Nigel Farage is involved.
The hypocrisy is deafening.
22 May 2024 - Rishi Sunak called the general election
28 May 2024 - Cayman Islands based hedge fund Quadrature makes a £4m donation to Labour, the largest ever single donation to the party, and one of the biggest in UK political history
30 May 2024 – The “pre-poll reporting period” began, under which all donations over £11,180 had to be declared weekly rather than the usual quarterly schedule
The general election then took place
Labour did not declare the donation until September
Don’t hear much about that do you
🚨 LET'S EXPOSE THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM!
Andy Burnham has built his entire campaign on boasting about his record as Mayor of Greater Manchester. 🤡
But the mask is finally off, and his "Manchesterism" blueprint is a complete disaster.
Let us expose the reality of his time in office!
Between 2021 and 2023, Manchester suffered the steepest fall in living standards of any major English city, with residents' purchasing power collapsing by 7% compared to the 4.7% national average.
The official data confirms that real disposable income in the city is actually lower now than when Burnham first took office in 2017!
He spent nearly a decade in power, built £800 million luxury skyscrapers for foreign investors, and managed to leave his own local residents poorer than when he started.
This is the exact model of economic decline he is preparing to bring to Downing Street.
They want to do to the entire United Kingdom what they have already done to Manchester, and they expect you to sit quietly and accept it.
RT to warn our country and demand a General Election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥
Labour Party received a £4 million donation from a Cayman Islands hedge fund days after the general election was called - and just before election campaign rules came into force.
How convenient!
Please confirm no one from that hedge fund has been given a cushy job in a quango.
Andy Burnham told the papers he wants to stop Labour’s plan to release rapists and paedophiles from prison early.
He had the chance to vote to stop it last night.
He didn’t even show up.
Dale Vince donated £5 million to the Labour Party.
His energy companies then received £123 million in subsidies.
Funny that isn’t it!?
I don’t remember Sky News camping outside his or his family’s house.
Not true 👇Uniform is the number one way school leaders improve behaviour across schools.
This policy prevents schools from improving- disadvantaged kids suffer.
Bridget is hurting the kids she says she wants to help.🙄

‼️Ed Davey and his antics!
In December 2010, Mr Bates cut off contact for eight months after Sir Ed wrote him a letter saying the Post Office “continues to express full confidence in the integrity and robustness of the Horizon system”. In 2011, Mr Bates notified Sir Ed that solicitors acting on behalf of the campaign group had issued pre-action letters to the Post Office. He told Sir Ed: “Having nailed your colours to the POL’s [Post Office Ltd] mast from the JFSA standpoint there was little point in continuing a dialogue with you or your department at that point.”
"Most damning of all is how Davey later personally profited from the scandal. In 2017, the year sub-postmasters launched group litigation against the Post Office, Davey became a highly paid consultant to law firm Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF). HSF were hired by the Post Office to aggressively fight the litigation.
For this work, Davey pocketed an astonishing £275,000 over five years, until January 2022.
That’s £833 an hour for his services. So while sub-postmasters battled for justice, their former Minister who ignored them was now on the Post Office’s payroll by default."
Ed Davey has asked whether Nigel Farage plans to fund the by-election in Clacton.
My question to Ed Davey is this: has he asked Andy Burnham whether he’ll be putting his own hand in his pocket to cover the estimated £5 million cost to taxpayers of the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election? Or does that standard only apply when it’s Nigel Farage?
