@JohnCleese If the likes of Lineker wanted to make a difference by distributing their disposable wealth, then they simply just need to do it?
Why call for a mandate?
I just shared my views on community, trust, and what divides the UK in The National Conversation. Make sure your local area is represented in this major @OxfordDemSci research project. Have your say here: https://t.co/m7RMHesR5c #TheNationalConversation#UK
“Keir Starmer’s a wanker” chanted at the Unite The Kingdom march.
It has become the patriotic anthem of 2026. Instantly cheers me up whenever I hear it. 🇬🇧
Here are 4 things that happened to the UK in the last 24 hours:
1. The Labour government confirmed it will remove the right to a jury trial. Cases will be tried by a judge alone.
2. The Labour gvt confirmed it will impose Digital ID despite it never being included in Labour's manifesto and nearly 3 million Brits signing a petition against it.
3. The Labour gvt confirmed we will "align" with the European Union, directly going against the 2016 democratic vote for Brexit & forcing the British people to pay billions for laws they'll never be able to influence.
4. The Labour gvt confirmed that while Islamist sympathisers & antisemites are free to march on the streets of our capital city, & while it welcomes former allies of al-Qaeda into Downing Street, it has banned conservative activists from joining a peaceful protest against mass immigration in London.
Put all these things together and you get a sense - just a sense - of how hideously authoritarian and illiberal this Labour government really is.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
