🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 NEW: England’s Amputee Football Association is struggling to raise the £50,000 needed to travel to the Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico this November

The amputee football programme now operates as an independent charity after the FA cut funding in 2006

The choice voters face in Makerfield:

Vote Labour, Get Starmer Out
Vote Reform, Keep Starmer In
Vote Restore, Get Starmer Out
Vote Green, Keep Starmer In

The police shouldn’t be attacked because they are overwhelmingly good people who protect us. Not because it’s politically expedient to not harm them.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I do not want to see patriots thrown in prison because they've had a beer or two, got fired up and acted stupid in the heat of the moment.

The state will make an example of you - they will show no mercy. Your life will be ruined.

Do not attack the police. Be smart. Stay calm.

Anyone understand why Ireland is allowed to benefit from the security environment created by NATO/the collective west, yet is never asked to contribute anything towards it and is even allowed to undermine it?

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.

It’s a slop world and you’re living in it

[Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood]

The PM won a five year mandate from the British people just 18 months ago.

Labour governments don't come along often. It is a privilege to serve in one and we must not waste a second.

The PM has my full support. Let's get on with changing the country for the better.

[Nathan @NathWiddowson]

It is hard to see any hope for this government if Labour MPs cannot get behind these common sense proposals that are overwhelmingly desired by the public

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

Nine Labour MPs are already out of the gates this morning publicly attacking Shabana Mahmood's asylum proposals - and at least one minister is reportedly on resignation watch 🍿

I am the child of immigrants.

Illegal migration is creating division across our country.

It is a broken system and we have a genuine problem to fix.

My job is to find a proper solution that can unite a divided country.

Deport. Deport. Deport.

We don’t want sexual offenders and violent criminals here.

The US and UK do enough foreign aid by allowing remittances

This overshadows any foreign aid budget and actually ends up going to regular people

[Nick, 30 @an0n_Nic]

Of all the things the state has done this might be the most alarming and symbolic of the UK’s decline.

UK was the only country to independently develop a space launch capability and has now abandoned it.

We have money for “asylum seekers”, NHS translators and people with “anxiety” but no money for the cutting edge science and technology that will lead to discovery and growth.

This government and those before are destroying this country, make no mistake.

Our institutions have been captured by a blob of middle managers who are sleepwalking down a very dangerous path.

Online safety act is a good reason to vote reform

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

Think about tax revenue from first principles...

If Government spending is 25% of GDP, you can imagine 3 strong people carrying a 4th person. Pretty easy to do - in fact you can easily share the burden and move fast.

If Government spending is about 35% of GDP you can imagine two strong people carrying one person. Still fairly easy.

If government spending is 50% then you can imagine one strong person carrying another person on their back. This is where it becomes exhausting - the person doing the lifting starts to think they should leave the race or ask to be carried instead.

Currently the UK Government spending is 45% of GDP.

Canadians can live in Britain and vote from day one but I as a Brit cannot do the same living in Canada

[Jonathan Hinder MP @Jonathan_Hinder]

You can value the contribution migrants make to our country while thinking a) the pace and scale of immigration in recent years has been absurd and b) that we have a real issue with integration.

The hyperbolic coverage of the PM’s speech by some parts of the media is so tedious.

[Nathan @NathWiddowson]

It comes down to immigration, ultimately.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The corresponding proposal for a full and unconditional 30 days ceasefire has gone unanswered by Russia for 39 days. The United States made this proposal, Ukraine responded positively, but Russia ignored it.

If Russia is now suddenly ready to truly engage in a format of full and unconditional silence, Ukraine will act accordingly — mirroring Russia’s actions. Silence in response to silence, defensive strikes in response to attacks. If a complete ceasefire truly takes hold, Ukraine proposes extending it beyond the Easter day of April 20. That is what will reveal Russia’s true intentions — because 30 hours is enough to make headlines, but not for genuine confidence-building measures. Thirty days could give peace a chance.

As of now, according to the Commander-in-Chief reports, Russian assault operations continue on several frontline sectors, and Russian artillery fire has not subsided. Therefore, there is no trust in words coming from Moscow. We know all too well how Moscow manipulates, and we are prepared for anything. Ukraine’s Defense Forces will act rationally — responding in kind. Every Russian strike will be met with an appropriate response.

I expect detailed updates at 21:30 and 22:00 from Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi following his conversations with brigade commanders and other units on the front lines regarding the situation in specific directions.

@mark_k Forget 1984. We need 1985.

An uplifting dystopia where surveillance drones help you find your lost dog, the thought police just want to make sure you're emotionally supported, and Big Brother is checking in with you to make sure you're good.

Who's making this?
