Tomorrow, Keir Starmer will give away the Chagos Islands.

It’s a betrayal of Britain that will go down in infamy.

Giving British territory, with a vital base on, to an ally of China — and paying them tens of billions of pounds for the privilege.

Labour couldn’t care less.

I don't want a penny of British taxpayer money being spent on Rwandan or Brazilian farmers. If that makes me some evil monster, so be it. I don't care.

What happens in Rwanda, Brazil and elsewhere is NOT our problem.

.@rickygervais has just posted this and he’s absolutely spot on:

“Ideologies don't have human rights. You can criticise, oppose and even ridicule ideas without infringing on anyone's rights.”

The left seem to think their ideology and zealotry are beyond critique and ridicule.

[Shane Davies @Greywizard2000]

@griff_sly_fox I'm a believer in common sense and not bankrupting a country for minimal gain compared to the remainder of world and it's output. When China stop building coal powered stations and we sit on natural resources yet decide to buy in others then yes I agree it starts at home 🤔

Some things are better left unsaid…

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Frustratingly, my speech time in the Commons on Labour's disastrous Budget was severely cut down.

My speech in full, for those who are interested...

The Chancellor and the rest of the Labour Party have bored Parliament since July 4th with their mantra about a £22 billion black hole in the public finances of which they are responsible for £10 billion in recent public sector pay increases.

In a clever, but deceitful budget she has increased taxes by a massive £40 billion compounding an already record post war tax take. This is a budget of the public sector, by the public sector, for the public sector.

The unions have always been close to Labour and funded the campaigns of many of their newly elected MPs. The Chancellor has replaced a portrait in No. 11 of Nigel Lawson with one of Ellen Wilkinson, a founding member of the Communist party of Great Britain. This budget is the embodiment of her naïve instincts as well as a fulfilment of her ambition to confound the lessons of history and create a socialist utopia.

Labour’s landslip election victory based on only 34% of the lowest adult turnout since 1928 was founded on what are now clearly lies and deceit.

Neither the Chancellor or the Prime Minister were able to define a “working person” with any clarity in various confused and stumbling attempts. Does it include the entrepreneurs who take risk, invest money, employ “working” people, create wealth, work hard, collect PAYE, VAT, National Insurance and pensions (which are gift-wrapped and paid to the state) as well as paying corporation tax on any residual profits? If not, why not?

We can now see that this is irrelevant as the massive increase in employers’ National Insurance and equally venal cut in the payment threshold is a huge tax on employment in the private sector which, unlike the state, cannot “print” money in taxpayers’ collective name to cover any budget shortfall.

This will mean the private sector will employ fewer people by design, reduce pay rises, increase prices, invest less and pay less corporation tax.

However you therefore define working people, everybody will be paying for the folly of more statism, central planning and structural decline through lower growth. It is said that in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king but looking at the Labour ministerial front bench there are no one- eyed men or women. Of twenty-six of them, only three have questionable business experience.

They are all progeny of the public sector which now accounts for an unsustainable forty-six per cent of gross domestic product and are arguably an overhead, not a productive asset.

The Office of Budget Responsibility (another quango) accepts that future growth will continue to be anaemic with the private sector stagnant.

Public spending on the black hole that is the National Health Service will increase by £25 billion and for education by £7 billion but my view is that it will make no difference. True long term productive investment creates wealth such as the stellar success of Victorian Britain which enabled the luxury of the concept of the National Health Service.

The public sector has had an extra £200 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the last five years and service has markedly deteriorated. HMRC, the Probate Office, Land Registry, DEFRA and almost all government related offices are failing through a blend of working from home, a lack of customer care, zero accountability, flawed staff selection processes based on diversity and inclusion, not merit, and stifling bureaucracy.

Waste, inefficiency and a lack of common sense is exemplified by, for example, the Department of Work and Pensions. They are handing out taxpayers’ money like confetti without checks and balances to detect fraud and waste, taking hard working taxpayers for fools.

This budget is only possible because quantitative easing and money printing has allowed the state to grow without justification, nurturing the culture of central planning, misguided net zero obsession and all the elements of collectivism which took a generation to destroy the Soviet Union.

The Chancellor and her central planners have landed a knock-out punch to the private sector entrepreneurs and small businesses who anticipate trends and innovation by taking risk to lubricate the capitalist process, losing their money if wrong and profiting if right.

The state on the other hand mutualises their bad decision making across all of us and usually absolve themselves of any blame.

It is not only small businesses which suffer in this fest of tax and spend, the farming industry, already in a parlous state, has been further undermined by revised death tax amendments.

If a rethink of this lunacy is not forthcoming, the continuity and long-term investment required to provide this over-populated island with a degree of food security will be destroyed by forced sales of land on death. Farming is a tough, vocational career and the average age of farmers is now over sixty years of age. The scandal is compounded by the fact that when asked before the general election whether Labour intended to get rid of agricultural property relief from inheritance tax computations, the current Environment Secretary replied definitively that “we have no intention of changing APR”.

The same is true for family businesses who are set to suffer disruptive death taxes too. The backbone of Britain’s nation of shopkeepers is being broken by socialist design. Common sense rather than the misguided politics of envy must prevail.

The imposition of VAT on private school fees from January 1st 2025 is a tax on aspiration and will damage a sector which is internationally accepted to be a prime British success story producing a great deal of foreign earnings, as well as furthering British influence. I note public sector exemptions are proposed but this envy ridden policy is likely to be revenue negative and further stress the state school system.

There are many more heffalump traps to pension tax, capital gains tax, and business asset disposal tax but no attempt to address the main problem – a bloated state. Where are the cuts necessary? Where is the plan to adopt AI related solutions? Where is the plan to address the nine million people of working age who do not work? Where is the plan to address the unfairness between those who contribute to our great country and those who are fraudulently dragging us down?

It seems that Labour thrives on the dependency culture founded by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. As Winston Churchill presciently observed “we contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

The flight of entrepreneurs, risk takers and non-doms is well underway with Monaco, Dubai, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Italy and various Asian countries set to benefit. The world is now a small place and talent is mobile with Starlink facilitating global connectivity everywhere.

Higher long-term interest rates, increased debt, a Sterling crisis (like 1975) and in the extreme exchange controls beckon from this Marxist budget.

It seems that the Labour Party are guilty of the worship of unreason, the demand of self-sacrifice and the elevation of the collective above the individual.

We will have to wait until 2029 and Reform’s Great Repeal Act before John Galt will be able to proclaim that “the road is cleared, we are going back to the world” in Ayn Rand’s epic, Atlas Shrugged!

I've been pushing the Home Office on crime statistics for illegal migrants - this is deeply concerning...

"The information requested is not available from published statistics."

They know, but are hiding it from us. Why?

This information must be urgently published, IN FULL.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The British people deserve to know this information.

As Reform MPs, we will fight for its release.

The student activist who is currently occupying the position of Home Secretary to the United Kingdom should resign immediately.

She knew. They all knew. And people are currently rotting in prison because they knew too.

Forget the budget. Forget everything. Think only on this.
