Britain has every right to defend itself against Islamist extremism and to control its borders. Yet this government continues to pursue immigration policies that many British people believe are far too permissive, while appearing unwilling to confront the consequences for integration, security and social cohesion. Calling people racist or extremist for raising these concerns is not an answer. Government should listen to the electorate, enforce the law and put the interests and security of the British public first.
@TomK_Brit1993 His priority should be a robust immigration and integration policy - control who enters, enforce the law equally, and prohibit practices, Islamist or otherwise, that undermine individual rights, democratic values or public safety.
@KemiBadenoch@GiorgiaMeloni Meloni won because she was willing to stand up on the issue of Islamic migration and secure Italy’s borders. We need leaders in Britain who will do the same, instead of letting laws stifle open discussion on integration and immigration.
While our Prime Minister was making videos about which pork scratchings he likes best, Sir Jim Ratcliffe was rescuing Runcorn from the effects of the government’s own energy policy.
This plant helps keep our drinking water safe and supplies the chemicals used in medicines, power cables, pipes and homes.
Lose that capacity and Britain becomes dependent on foreign suppliers for the essentials of our daily lives.
Britain cannot make everything. But no serious country allows energy costs and carbon taxes to destroy its last domestic source of critical materials.
Labour are not serious…but we are. Watch @clairecoutinho tell you more about how Conservatives will get cheaper cleaner energy in the thread below 👇
Why have barbers been left off this list? The public is equally concerned about the unexplained proliferation of barbershops. Where there is evidence of money laundering, tax evasion, illegal working or other criminality, they should face the same scrutiny as vape shops, betting shops and every other business - regardless of the owners’ religion, ethnicity or immigration status.
Why do we need more prison places if crime rates are down?
According to the Mayor of London, crime rates in London have significantly fallen.
However, Muslim prisoners represent approximately 18% of the total prison population in England and Wales, according to Ministry of Justice data. This is a significant over-representation, as Muslims make up about 6.5% of the general population.
@Telegraph Muslims make up 9.6% of the population in the wider West Midlands region (representing 569,963 people), and 17.2% within the ceremonial West Midlands county, according to the official Office for National Statistics Census data.
Detain and deport, otherwise the average small boat migrant will end up costing UK taxpayers a million quid.
The lifetime cost of a small boat migrant who settles in the UK averages £141k–£400k. If they transition to legal status with a non-working spouse & 2 children, independent models show the net cost to taxpayers climbs to over £1.03M per family due to education & NHS use.
Losing to Argentina is more damning on Tuchel than defeat v Croatia/Italy/Spain are on Southgate.
Those three nations were better than England, Argentina were not.
But they looked it after Tuchel’s change to a back five, we hired him to do the opposite.

Strange question for an educated man! It’s called economics, the market sets the price - supply and demand. Popular DJs can choose between working for the BBC and any other radio station - it’s not the same as being capped to play against the Argies and told to park a bus with over 30mins left!
