The home of Refarming UK Agriculture.

[REFARM-UK @RefarmUK]

I am a #Refarmer.. The clue is in the name. More to come from me over the coming months about farming, farming reform, Big steps needing to be taken.

Bold steps need bold people who are not afraid of the odd rusty nail.

[Angus MacIntyre @AngusReform]

I have decided to stand down as a RAF Wing Commander and bring my experience to the role of Reform UK’s Shadow Armed Forces Minister.

Our armed forces have been decimated by successive governments.

Rebuilding them is a national challenge that I am committed to deliver as part of Reform UK.

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński is explaining what is happening right now at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal, calling it nothing less than a COUP D’ÉTAT!

“In Poland, we have a liberal-left government led by Donald Tusk, who is the Prime Minister. What is happening right now with the Constitutional Tribunal is that they want to take it over and fill it with their own people.

Why? Because they want to get rid of the Polish currency, bring us into the eurozone, and eliminate our secure borders. They are being pushed by the Germans, who want to spread the burden of illegal migration and send migrants to Poland.

First of all, the Polish złoty is our constitutionally protected currency. They have to change the Constitution to replace it, and without the Constitutional Tribunal, they cannot do that.

So, number one, they want to get rid of our currency and force us to adopt the euro and join the eurozone. Then they want to take our gold reserves, the largest in the European Union, to Frankfurt, to the European Central Bank, which is a German-based institution.

They also want to open our borders. And they want to make sure that when they lose the next elections, which are coming next year, the Constitutional Tribunal will be unable to do anything to stop their actions or reverse what they have done.

There are many more reasons, but I want you to understand one thing: they are under German influence. They are globalists, and we are fighting not just for Poland, but for Europe.

Be like Poland. Be strong. Our nation is strong, and we are going to win this fight!”

🚨Poundland is a scandal. Here’s why:

People have attacked me for taking up this fight, saying ‘businesses go under all the time, that’s just the free market’. Sure, but this is *crony capitalism* and the 12,000 workers deserve better.

This is what’s really happening:

Poundland’s owners, an American outfit called Gordon Brothers are trying to put the business into administration. They bought it for £1 and have a £30m loan out to it, which they want back.

It’s a tough sector, suffering from fierce competition, battered by Labour’s tax increases and customers feeling the pinch. However, the business is solvent, sales grew 6.7% in the last year and 8.4% in the first three weeks of October. It’s about to see the best trading weeks of the year approaching Christmas. This is not a business that has to shut its doors.

What’s more, if Gordon Brothers want to walk away, there are others keen to take it on, as a going concern. I’ve spoken to two, highly credible parties today, who have attempted to buy the business. Both tell me they have the money. One, a hugely successful British retail entrepreneur, didn’t even get a response from Gordon Brothers. They would keep the stores intact and keep the positive momentum going.

I’ve been inundated with messages from staff and suppliers, all saying how hard they’ve worked in the past year to turn the business around.

Instead, Gordon Brothers are risking 12,000 jobs just before Christmas (and retail isn’t an easy industry to get another job in right now) and potentially another 10,000 amongst the suppliers. Poundland has a number of suppliers that only or largely supply them, and who will face an uncertain future without them.

Then there’s the loss to the landlords, the rates owed to local councils, tax due to HMRC and the lost footfall on our high streets if 600 stores shut.

The wage bill of Poundland is close to £500m, so you can imagine the cost to the taxpayer in benefits if 12,000 people lose their jobs.

Could it be that Gordon Brothers, far from being a real ‘turnaround specialist’ is just trying to look after themselves and make a profit at the expense of literally everyone else?

Might they be using the administration process to protect their loan?

And the advisors who handle administration will also pockets millions in fees. Naturally.

Could we see a decent business run down, shelves slowly emptied and then folded, with everyone losing out bar them? Thats what happened with another, similar business, Poundworld.

It’s not for nothing that loyal staff emailing me are calling them ‘Greedy Brothers’.

Should politicians be interested in this scandal? Too right they should. Frankly I’m shocked more aren’t. It shows how little Westminster cares about working people. You can be pro business, but anti crony capitalism. Reform UK is.

The Business Secretary needs to ask searching questions of Gordon Brothers and this administration process, before a 35 year old mainstay of our high streets and 12,000 jobs are destroyed by them.

@BurnsideWasTosh @FlashheartV2 That is 100% true... walk away with 45p in the £ is an absolute crime!

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

MPs HECKLE me as I suggest cuts to foreign aid.

Why is it so controversial to demand we put the British people first?

[REFARM-UK @RefarmUK]

Well.. one of my ladies has just Smashed the previous farm egg weight record of 114.6g by miles..yes she's ok still. 173.76g.. Ouch!

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

I understand why people are taking a second look at the Tories given the mess Reform is in, but you have to listen carefully to what Badenoch says. She thinks the disintegrating social fabric can be repaired with managerial tinkering. She ultimately thinks it's a integration problem - and an institutional problem (fixing the police, the schools and the operating assumptions of authorities).

While these are all changes that need to happen, they needed to happen at least ten years ago - but there's no integrating the Boriswave. Most of it is garbage immigration that can only be a net drain. The policies Badenoch has thus far backed only go some of the way. Ending ILR is essential, as is deporting illegals and removing benefits, but the policy has to be an active policy of complete Boriswave reversal.

On that score, for Badenoch to be convincing, she ought to be showing as much contempt for the Tories who enabled the Boriswave as she does Reform.

This where the Tory party itself becomes the main barrier. Shabana Mahmood has faced opposition from her back benchers on marginal ILR reforms - but there's no reason to expect the Tory party will be any different. They all spout the same bullshit rhetoric about "fairness" and "British values", and Tories almost certainly will seek carve-outs for care workers on the same basis. The exception becomes the loophole.

Without an unequivocal recognition that the Boriswave was a historic error in need of urgent correction, the Tory party is just another managed decline option. Same destination, slower speed.

I’ll say it til I’m blue in the face: only British citizens should be entitled to benefits.

We must put the British people first.

[REFARM-UK @RefarmUK]

Spoken like a true fabian socialist..

[Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @JeevunSandher]

Nope, that’s not how taxes and price works. The price is determined by demand and supply.

Companies charge the highest price they can given demand. A tax levied on *profits* does not affect a company’s cost ie supply.

Taxes on *windfall* profits (like oil and gas) are the most efficient kind of tax there is.

“The effects of the family farm tax means we will lose the farm. We are the smallest farm locally. But we have an inheritance tax liability of £600,000. That’s unsustainable for us.”

My 78yr old Mother in Law had her bloods done, HDL 3.0mmol/L, her LDL 2.7mmol/L

Her Doctors are trying to prescribe her Statins... Read the pictures below for the answer. This borders on medical malpractice!

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

When Thatcher was Prime Minister, she reportedly slept for 4 hours per night, worked up until 2am and didn’t like going on holidays.

Fast forward 30+ years and our current Prime Minister has enough time to do a softball interview on LADbible and appear on Googlebox.

Decline.

Most people don't know about Drax Power Station

Drax used to burn coal. But to become 'green' it burns wood we import from North America.

The climate scam is a lie - and if we get into trouble this winter

Drax is our last, best, hope.

End the climate con. It's dangerous
