We've got our country back. Let's make it great again!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Nauseating hypocrisy. You and your party’s green mongering over the years have driven BP and others away. You gave virtue signalling priority over jobs, families, communities. And now you express concern for them. Pass the sick bag. Scotland is truly run by a kakistocracy. But Scots only have themselves to blame. They keep electing self-serving numpties.

All military age males means it is an invasion

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

🚨NEWS: The UK Government has been accused of a cover up after it has blocked the release of migrant crime data, specifically: 'violence, sexual offences, drugs, arson, criminal damage, weapons, theft, and robbery

They don't want you to know the truth

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The invasion continues …

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

This is jaw-dropping

French Gendarmes admit today they have orders not to stop migrants - only talk to them - even though we pay over £1/2 billion

This was moments after they stood by while a hundred migrants walked across the beach and got onto a boat and embarked for the UK

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

At least 700 illegal migrants in the Channel this morning. The invasion continues.

Yet Burnham said yesterday “the plan is working”. What planet is he on?

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

Someone should tell Labour MP @KateOsborneMP that Pride events and Christmas Markets don’t have diversity barriers up to stop Reform UK or GB News.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Over 700 illegal migrants have invaded our country this week so far.

How many Iranian terrorists are amongst them? @AndyBurnham

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

A WOMAN in a burqa has been given a "British Citizen Award" for ...'empowering young women.' What an absolute joke. Except it's real. The absolute shame of it.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

While Andy Burhnham distracts you with Tiktoks about crisps, to a fawning media establishment, he is quietly briefing the Guardian that he will U-turn on the retrospective reforms to Indefinite Leave to Remain.

This will mean the WHOLE Boriswave of 4 million non-EU unskilled migrants will get to stay and get lifetime access to our welfare state in the next few years.

Do you understand what’s happening?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

What has happened to towns who did nothing to deserve it, like little Piddington village, will happen to all of Britain, unless there is fundamental political change.

It’s not right. Not right at all.

[BRITAIN IS BROKEN 🇬🇧 @BROKENBRITAIN0]

🚨NEW: The record number of illegal migrants on one boat crossing the English channel was smashed today, with 164 fighting aged foreign men crammed onto one vessel 🇬🇧

This is NOTHING less than an invasion.

[Mike Graham 🇬🇧 @Iromg]

There’s about 300 men arriving on the south coast illegally mate. What are you doing about keeping us safe from them?

[Adam Smith Institute @ASI]

Since you mentioned the 1980s, @andyburnham, here’s a reminder of what was achieved:

• Exchange controls scrapped after 40 years

• 40+ nationalised businesses privatised — 600,000 employees moved to the private sector
�� The 33 big state industries: took ~£500m from taxpayers in 1980 → paid £8.4bn to the Exchequer by 1987
• British Steel: world-record loss-maker (1980/81) → £733m profit (1989/90)
• BT, 1984: the largest share offer the world had ever seen
• “Tell Sid” broke the record again in 1986
• British Airways: nationalised loss-maker → profitable, private, “the world’s favourite airline”
• The Channel Tunnel launched and entirely privately financed

Over to you.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

The UK government have just agreed to give Pakistan another £153,000,000. The government don’t actually have any money, so they’re giving away your money. It won’t go to the poor of Pakistan. It’ll go to the corrupt leaders there. As it always does. And the money comes from the hardworking, least wealthy people here. To put that enormous figure of £153,000,000 into context; the average basic rate taxpayer in the UK pays £2,700 per annum in tax. So 56,666 people in this country will be going to work all year just to give their money to Pakistan. Not one penny of their tax will go to schools, hospitals, roads or anything else in the UK. It will go straight to Pakistan. Imagine if those nearly 57,000 people got to keep their tax and spend it in this country instead. Imagine all that money being spent in pubs. Imagine the extra staff that would then be needed. The extra employment right here that it would create. But instead, it’s all going to Pakistan. Every single penny.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Andy Burnham has no mandate to govern Britain.

We need a general election now.

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

Hey @andyburnham , any statement about the London riots last night ?

Women threatened, intimidated and police officers injured.

Or shall we take it that foreign men can riot without consequences?

[Pat Condell @patcondell]

Last night Muslim foreigners rioted in London over a football match. Far-right thugs? Fast track justice? Remanded in custody? Full force of the law? Or is that only for the white native British?
