Given the ridiculous volume of Prime Ministers that Britain’s endured in recent years, I think it should now be law that if a PM quits or is forced out during his/her term, it automatically triggers a new general election. That might concentrate their minds to do a better job.

🚨 Retweet this to demand a General Election in 2026

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time.

Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to.

We rented our TV

Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine.

Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents.

We went without until we could save enough to pay for something.

It’s always been hard whether you are young or old.

So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t.

Our governments are to blame, not the old.

[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

Patient attends A&E with a chest infection… standard stuff.

Decides to pop outside for a vape and a bit of fresh air because, let’s be honest, the waiting room atmosphere could finish anyone off quicker than the illness.

Next minute… casually clocks a bloke acting a bit off outside the maternity ward.
Not aggressive, not shouting… just that “something’s not right here” vibe every frontline worker knows all too well.

So what does he do?
Doesn’t walk away.
Doesn’t ignore it.

Goes over for a chat.

Two hours later…

🧠 Talked down a “lone wolf” terrorist
🎒 Convinced him to open the bag (yeah… that bag)
💣 Found himself staring at a pressure cooker bomb
📏 Asked about blast radius like he’s doing a dynamic risk assessment
🚪 Moved the whole situation away from the hospital entrance
🤝 Built enough trust to keep the bloke calm
🤗 Given him a hug when asked
📞 Got him to agree to call police before he “changed his mind”

All while his own phone’s dead and there’s not a single staff member in sight to wave over.

Genuinely the most British de-escalation imaginable:
“Alright mate… talk to me… what’s going on?”

No PPE.
No backup.
No radio.
Just vibes, empathy, and absolute nerves of steel.

Meanwhile inside:
Crews stacked 8 deep
Handover delays hitting biblical levels
Someone asking “can you clear please” every 30 seconds

And this guy is outside single-handedly preventing a mass casualty incident like it’s just another shift problem.

Police turn up, job gets wrapped up, and he just wanders back in like:
“Yeah I’m back… still got that chest infection by the way.”

Probably still had to wait for discharge as well.

Massive respect though.
That’s not luck, that’s character. Calm under pressure, compassion when it mattered most.

George Medal couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.

Proof that sometimes the difference between a normal day and a major incident…
…is just one person deciding to step forward instead of walking away 🚑

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Please read.

I held off posting about this because I know a lot of people in Golders Green and have been getting in touch with them all this morning.

The entire Jewish community of Golders Green right now is shook but I will tell you what, they aren’t cowering, they are doing what Jews do best. Showing strength and coming together.

There is a lot of fierceness, anger and rightly so.

None are surprised, not a single Jew in the UK is likely surprised. It was the same with the Manchester synagogue attack.

This government, along with the London Mayor and Met police that have allowed hate marches every week through the streets of London for two and a half years. The judicial system letting terrorists supports and Jew haters off the hook. The Prime Minister refusing to proscribe the IRGC and pandering to Islamists.

It’s all been very obvious that these events would get more frequent and targeted as the perpetrators become more emboldened by the lack of push back and consequence.

You politicians can keep saying “antisemitism has no place in our society” - well clearly it does.

It’s become embedded institutionally.

Universities, the NHS, the BBC, the Police, the Judicial System, Foreign Policy, the Home Office, Councils and many MPs in Parliament are all riddled with it. The ones that aren’t are complacent about it or let it spread out of fear of offending a certain “demographic” of voters.

I will tell you now. Almost every Jewish family in the UK since the Hamas attacks on October 7th 2023 has seriously considered leaving Britain - due to this Nazi like hatred fuelled by Islamism, Anti-Israel propaganda and the “Pro-Palestine” movement.

But this is bigger than you may think, much bigger. It’s not just an issue for Jews.

This is serious.

There’s a reason they say Jews are the canary in the coal mine.

It affects everything. No exaggeration. Read any history book.

History has shown, throughout millennia, that when antisemitism goes unchecked, societies fail.

Jew hatred is a cancer that needs to be surgically removed - not ignored and allowed to fester.

It attacks and it rots.

Because when the Jews leave, who comes after.

[Rob Rinder @RobbieRinder]

I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today.

Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison.

Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency.

Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it.

When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional.

This is close to becoming law.

Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary,

I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator.

I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme.

Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate.

I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave.

You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise.

Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount.

For £35,000 I will:
   •   Leave quietly.
   •   Not require a press conference.
   •   Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.
   •   Even carry my own suitcase to the airport.

I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme.

Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus.

Who knew?

While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes.

May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue.

In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on.

If successful, I promise to:
   •   Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).
   •   Not stage a protest on the runway.
   •   And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice.

All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV.

Yours in hopeful relocation,
A slightly confused taxpayer

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

During an interview, a candidate’s stomach suddenly growled. Loud enough to be noticed.
Awkward silence.

The HR interviewer smiled and gently asked,
“Did you skip breakfast?”

He looked down and replied quietly,
“No. I slept on a hungry stomach.”

It wasn’t lack of preparation.
It was lack of food.

The room paused—not because of discomfort, but because the reality landed heavily.

Without making a scene, HR stopped the interview and suggested they reschedule for early afternoon.
Before the candidate left, HR handed him some cash and said,
“Please get something to eat first.”

That wasn’t charity.
That was humanity.

Sometimes candidates don’t show up tired because they partied the night before.
They show up tired because life is heavy.

Job interviews don’t always test competence.
Sometimes they expose survival.

Hunger is not a lack of ambition.
It’s a lack of opportunity.

The candidate returned later, fed, calmer, and more confident.

Empathy didn’t lower the bar.
It gave him a fair chance to reach it.

Every candidate has a story.
Before judging performance, try to see the person.

During an interview, a candidate kept smiling excessively, talking a lot, and clearly trying to hide his anxiety.

To put him at ease, the HR began asking simple, personal questions—about his family and his Christmas plans.

That’s when he revealed that he was sitting in a hospital café. His wife was in labour. The baby was expected that very day, and he was attending the interview without having told his wife.

He explained that he had been laid off the previous week and hadn’t told his wife yet because he didn’t want to stress her during such a critical time.

That was also why he hadn’t asked to reschedule—he didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

The HR professional immediately rescheduled the interview and encouraged him to be with his wife.

No job interview deserves priority over a moment like that.

We never truly know what people are going through or how hard they are trying.

Some are carrying a great deal on their shoulders and still showing up with a smile.

Let’s be kind to people in 2026
