@Artemisapphire@BeauNash1674@TiceRichard If you think 0.5% economic growth shows Burnham is fixing the economy, then your economic illiteracy is more than evident and your right to vote should be questioned.
@Artemisapphire@BeauNash1674@TiceRichard It’s absolutely pathetic that you rely on growth around HALF a percentage point to be any good indicator. Absolutely pathetic.
Heathrow’s third runway will now be delayed until 2039. China has built more than 100 airports in the last 25 years.
Britain is truly a broken country, we can’t build or do anything.
Only Reform will reverse our third-world decline.
You need to understand this:
Once the AfD wins the absolute majority and forms a federal government, Europe will change drastically.
The EU will fall, and with that, the life support of every tyrant in Europe.
@ZiaYusufUK Then I hope to see you advocating to codify and entrench our constitution to absolutely prevent this in the future.
Parliamentary sovereignty must give way to constitutional sovereignty.
The public can see the coverage and judge for themselves whether the scrutiny is being applied consistently.
I don’t recall Sky covering these👇
• 9 Labour councillors quit in Basingstoke & Deane
• 8 Conservatives quit the Plymouth Conservative group
• 6 Conservatives quit in Spelthorne
• 20 Labour councillors quit across Lancashire in 2024
• 20 Labour councillors announced they were quitting in Broxtowe in 2025
• 9 Conservatives broke away in Sevenoaks
• 7 Conservatives quit in Dumfries & Galloway
• 6 Labour councillors quit in Luton in 2026
By all means scrutinise Reform. The fair question is whether Labour and the Conservatives receives comparable attention.
@GBNEWS This is your fault for having an uncodified and unentrenched constitution.
The ridiculous asswipe concept known as parliamentary sovereignty is just neofeudalism and tyranny disguised.
@MaxiMumMother@policylaila@UKLabour Doesn’t matter. Unfortunately the ridiculous fact that our constitution is uncodified and unentrenched means parliamentary sovereignty allows the government to ignore the ECHR, and courts can ONLY issue declarations of incompatibility, not strike down legislation.

@policylaila This is why we NEED to codify AND entrench the constitution when Reform are elected.
Otherwise, successive governments will simply undo all of Reform’s legislation.
If we had a codified and entrenched constitution, we could eternally ban retroactive legislation.
@ZiaYusufUK Maybe advocate to codify AND entrench the constitution to prevent this happening in the future.
Parliamentary sovereignty is an authoritarian principle…
@PippaCrerar@YouGov So what? You only need around 30% of the vote to win a majority of seats under our FPTP system.
So who on earth cares if Farage is unpopular?
Labour got 34% of the vote and 63% of the seats in Parliament.
Stop misleading people.
@JulianMalins@ZiaYusufUK Funny how the same people who complain about this never criticise parliamentary sovereignty, nor do they ever advocate to codify AND entrench the constitution to prevent this from happening.
Typical Brits.

More footage of the aftermath of a white lad being attacked by 3 non whites in Birmingham, police let the 3 attackers run off and arrested the white lad.
