If a left wing government can import 1.2 million migrants with the stroke of a pen, a right wing government can deport millions with the stroke of a pen. It’s a matter of political will.
Yes, it is that simple. You can just ignore treaties and ‘international law’. It’s all fake.
A UK family where both parents work full-time, pay full council tax, and earn enough to be 'doing alright' on paper, can't afford to take their kids to the Tower of London on a Saturday in 2026.
Two adult tickets and two child tickets at standard price comes to roughly £100. Add £40-£80 in train fares and £50-£70 for lunch — that's around £200 for a single Saturday at one tourist attraction in their own capital city.
A family on full Universal Credit, living in subsidised housing, paying no council tax, can take the same four people to the same Tower for £1 a ticket — £4 total — under the 'inclusive access' schemes most major UK attractions now run.
The working family pays the full £200 day out AND covers — through their taxes — the £196 discount the benefits family gets on the same trip.
Whatever the original intention of those schemes, this is the structure most UK working families are now living inside. Pay the full bill, then watch the people next door enjoy the day out you can't take your own kids to.
NEW: Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has written an explosive op-ed for The Sunday Times.
It is the first time the former chief of the defence staff has spoken since retiring last year.
He said:
💥 Andy Burnham must appoint a "wartime cabinet" that will properly fund the military.
💥 The "peace dividend" is over - and the role of the PM is now a "quasi-wartime" one.
💥 The UK is "looking like a laggard" in Nato and we are bottom of the Nato league table to meet our military commitments.
💥 Warned Burnham to avoid antagonising Donald Trump - or else the USA could withdraw its "unconditional support" for the UK.
💥 Says the next PM must "protect the nuclear deterrent."

Maturing is realising that absolutely nothing of substance is happening here.
A false pressure valve is being released, to reset public anger so as to buy additional years of time to implement an agenda that was decided long ago, elsewhere. The frontman is utterly expendable.
@CamillaTominey They literally write on the applications they will use it for drugs and alcohol. Most auto qualify for high mobility because they cannot safely get from A to B, meaning they’d actually qualify for a free car too, regardless of the alcohol or drug consumption
This is approximately a million times worse than Epstein. It’s not even remotely close. The scale. The nature of the crimes. The powerful institutions implicated. And yet something tells me that many of the Epstein obsessives will have nothing at all to say about this.
The Home Office (with a sense of suicidal empathy) set up a fast track migration pathway for people from some of the most violent and war torn parts of the world.
This allowed the Sudanese Belfast stabbing suspect to be granted right to stay without an interview.
We somehow constructed a migration system making it incredibly hard for productive people from peaceful developed parts of the world to come here, while incredibly easy for non-contributing people from undeveloped violent parts of the world to be granted leave to remain.
This is insanity.
So in the blink of an eye, an attempted beheading by a migrant has been turned into a clampdown on freedom of speech by the Labour government. Everything Starmer does is designed to enforce an agenda that no one voted for. As always with him, it’s smoke and mirrors deflection.
WOW. This exchange in the House of Commons reveals the problem.
Jim Allister:
“What is being done to stop the importing of alien cultures in which people think it is acceptable to try and behead somebody?”
Hilary Benn: “sorry, what do you mean by alien cultures?”
