Tactical analysis on Arsenal matches and commentary on transfer news, coupled with a little political commentary from time to time…

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Andy Burnham is dodging scrutiny about his plans to raise taxes.

Instead he’s telling us he puts milk in his tea before water 🤔

This isn’t going to end well.

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

He hasn’t even appointed his Cabinet and they’re fighting already.

[Net Zero Watch @NetZeroWatch]

"The Green Blob requires a ritual, and therefore that the bodies be found and paraded in front of the press such that fingers can be pointed and Gaia’s wrath invoked against those who dare utter otherwise. Nobody should be allowed to remember the warm days of June and July 2026 fondly," says @clim8resistance, warning: "All the elements are there for anyone to understand that this phenomenon is propaganda."

🚨When asked about new taxes, Andy Burnham said “at some point that might be having to ask for a little more"🚨

Andy Burnham isn't even Prime Minister yet but he's already talking about raising your taxes AGAIN.

We are heading for another summer of chaos with Labour obsessing about who they can tax to pay for more benefits.

It doesn’t matter who is in charge, the problem is the Labour Party.

[Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 @TiceRichard]

Another mega Starmer U turn ….

[Isabel Paterson @IsabelPat1886]

Having campaigned on no tax increases, Labour are softening us up for our 3rd "just this once" tax-hiking Budget.

Please, please, let this end before they ruin us all.

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

The UK already has plenty of wealth taxes driving rich people out of the country and stopping people from abroad investing and creating jobs here. Capital gains tax, Stamp duty, top rate income tax, Council tax, corporation tax, windfall taxes etc. Think again Mr Burnham.

26 new peers in resignation honours

None for @reformparty_uk despite leading in over 350 national polls

Establishment stitch up again

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

Quite extraordinary that there is still not a single Reform peerage. The House of Lords has just ensured that it will not survive the election of a Reform government.

[Bella Wallersteiner 🇺🇦 @BellaWallerstei]

Top 10% of UK taxpayers already pay over 60% of all Income Tax - and the answer for some socialists is still to tax success even more…such lazy politics

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Benefit claimants have been given permission to ignore hosepipe bans, The Telegraph can reveal.

Two water companies have been accused of “two-tier” restrictions after allowing families on benefits to flout the restrictions.

[North London Arsenal Man @CreditRealist]

@afneil Completely agree!

At least he’s not a nepo baby like Zoe Ball…

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

What is the rationale for a public service broadcaster like the BBC paying a DJ (Scott Mills) £750,000 a year to present the breakfast show on Radio 2 playing soft rock music which commercial radio already provides in abundance?

[Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 @TiceRichard]

Two tier hosing ……

🙈🙈

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Disgraced former Tory MP Harvey Proctor, worked with the Times to publish this disgusting headline.

Given what has now come to light, it is in fact HE who has done the thing he accused Nigel of.

What a depraved man.

He must apologise now.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

What a phenomenal #RallyforReform event at the NEC! Thank you to all of you 5000 patriots who showed up.

Here’s my speech - a love letter to Great Britain.

Benefits claimants given permission to ignore hosepipe bans as water companies accused of 'two-tier' restrictions

[The Spectator @spectator]

'June heatwave killed 440 a day at its peak, say climate scientists' was the Guardian's splash this morning, while the BBC reported that 'more than 2,700 people may have died in exceptional May and June heatwaves'.

The stories are based on a paper from Imperial College London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Met Office, which estimates 2,736 'excess heat-related deaths' across the May and June heatwaves in England and Wales, with 553 heat deaths from 21 to 29 May and 2,183 from 18 to 28 June.

But there's a problem with the reporting: the estimates aren't based on actual counts of deaths this year.

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

BREAKING: CHINA wants to FORCE state-backed media onto social media feeds.

Just kidding, that’s the UK.

The Government could force companies to give a "PRIVILEGED POSITION” to the BBC.

State backed media should NOT rank higher.

This is NOT normal for a “democracy”.

Censorship BLOCKS jobs, money, and personal growth.

LETS STOP THIS.
