#R4today Let’s remember that pensions make up 55% of the total Welfare and Benefits budget. We’ve got the postwar babies using up most of that much hammered Benefits costs. It’s not an easy cut to make
The reason the UK’s finances are struggling to meet the demands of our defence budget are the eye watering sums lost through Tory incompetence and CORRUPTION! C£100 BILLION
But it’s so much easier to blame Keir

Kemi Badenoch: "Starmer is too weak to fund defence."
Her party spent 14 years gutting the armed forces. Troop numbers cut. Housing sold. Morale destroyed.
And she lied about Stanford pre-med.
Weak? Look in the mirror. 💀🎯
A good moment to remind everyone that the tories increased national debt from 1tn to 3tn.
The interest on this alone costs nearly twice the defence budget.
They also slashed the defence budget.
The tories are responsible for the dire state of the uk.
Defence spending has not been helped by the eye watering sums lost to fraud by the Tories
In 2020–21 alone, there were losses of between £33.2 billion and £58 billion to fraud and error unrelated to the ongoing pandemic.
Add the cost of fraudulent loans, unusable PPE, CORRUPTION
The Labour Government gave the NHS £3 million a month to remove people from waiting lists.
The waiting lists did not go down — they just fiddled the figures.
This is the reality of Starmer’s Britain: spin over substance, manipulation over real reform.
While patients suffer in pain and fear, politicians play games with the numbers.
The NHS is collapsing under mass immigration, waste, and incompetence.
Demand real reform. End the lies. Restore Britain.
Stabbing?!? A man lay in the floor whilst another tried to saw his head off with a small knife after stabbing him repeatedly in the face.
These are not our crimes,
We are not the same.
The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends. I don’t ever remember them commenting on any of the other hellish things that community has experienced over the years.
Individual cases like this are not evidence of 'two-tier policing'. Of course terrible mistakes were made by the police, but I do not believe they were "racist" or even guided by policy, just pure incompetence from probably inexperienced & overworked police officers.

On the Henry Nowak handcuffing. The officer was wrong to handcuff Henry but was almost certainly reacting to being told by two people that Henry had been racist rather than being motivated by some prejudice against white people.
@Th_Angelopoulos No you’re wrong
When Diversity trumps everything else and if ignored loses you your job and livelihood all common decency goes out the window
All the officers could think about was “ I dare not upset the brown kid “ and the victim was secondary
Why on earth the media is giving any oxygen to this claim of anti-white policing is beyond me.
There is no credible evidence of systemic anti-white bias in British policing.
What we do have is decades of evidence pointing in the opposite direction, from the Macpherson Report in 1999 to the Casey Review in 2023, both of which exposed serious problems with racism in policing.
As usual, the media is handing Farage the narrative he wants.
The entire argument rests on the idea that anti-racism reforms created anti-white policing.
Yet neither the Macpherson Report nor the Casey Review found evidence of anti-white bias. Both were commissioned after major failures in policing and both identified continuing problems with racism, particularly within the Metropolitan Police.
I know Farage hates scrutiny and would rather have a media that lets him say whatever he likes without proper challenge.
But without journalists willing to hold powerful politicians accountable, we get a less transparent country where public debate is shaped by falsehoods.
We cannot go on like this.
