Last time Labour was in power it was the "I am afraid there is no money" note.

Today's Mandelson release contains Pat McFadden stating:

'Every meeting I have is "who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?"'

It should serve as this Labour government's epitaph.

@TheParty1sOver Someone should work out what Holyrood has cost us to run since devolution, then deduct what the Scottish Office, as was, would have cost us. Then show the top 5 KPIs at the time of devolution starting with PISA rankings & then where we rank now! Billions spent to go backwards!!

Think the SNP has a mandate for a referendum?

Think again.

They aren't even close to a mandate.

A British soldier served in Northern Ireland. Risked his life. Followed orders. Came home.

He is now in his 70s.

Keir Starmer’s Government has decided he deserves to spend his final years in court.

The IRA got the Good Friday Agreement.
The veterans got Keir Starmer.

Remember that next time he talks about “values.”

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Mr Starmer,

The world is watching. And for once, I’m not here to play nice or balance both sides. This is the one shot I get to say what millions already know in their bones.

You are not Britain’s Prime Minister.
You are a man who won an election and immediately began dismantling the very things the British people voted for in 2016. You are squatting in Downing Street while steering the country back into the arms of the institution it explicitly rejected.

If you will not stand down, the British people will make you.

Here is every claim you made today, stripped bare, no spin, no mercy:

1. “The Middle East conflict has now entered its second month.”
Thank you for the calendar update. While you counted months, the IRGC a group formally designated as terrorists by the United States, Canada, and others, continued running its London operations from 16 Prince’s Gate, Knightsbridge. You did nothing.

2. “The UK is working at pace for de-escalation and peace.”
Translation: we issued strongly worded statements. Results: zero. Your “pace” is the speed of a snail on tranquillisers.

3. “The war will affect the future of our country, energy and cost of living.”
It already is. Your green ideology and EU realignment have left Britain with some of the highest energy prices in the developed world. Pensioners choose between heating and eating. That’s not “the war.” That’s policy.

4. “We are well-placed with a long-term plan to emerge stronger and more secure.”
Record taxes. 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists. Record small-boat crossings. Energy bills that could bankrupt households. If this is your definition of “stronger and more secure,” the English language just filed for divorce.

5. “I held meetings with business leaders…”
Photo opportunities. They warned you. You smiled for the cameras and carried on regardless.

6. “Energy bills will be cut today and fixed until July.”
A £117 cap that your own NI increases and green levies have already vaporised. It’s not relief. It’s an insult dressed up as compassion.

7. “The most effective way to support the cost of living is to push for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”
Then why did you help shut down North Sea production and make us dependent on foreign energy? The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast.

8. “The UK is taking back control of our energy security by investing in clean British energy.”
Britain now pays the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Blackouts are on the menu. This is not “taking back control.” This is self-sabotage with better PR.

9. “Because the world is volatile, Britain’s long-term national interest now requires closer partnership with the EU.”
Let’s be honest for once: you are using a foreign crisis as cover to hand sovereignty, money, and decision-making back to Brussels without asking the British people. That is not statesmanship. That is betrayal by stealth.

10. “I will announce a new summit with the EU later this year…”
Re-joining by the back door while an Iranian terror-linked operation sits in one of London’s most expensive postcodes. The sheer gall is almost impressive.

You stood at the podium today and spoke of “British interests” while actively working against them. You swore you wouldn’t rejoin the EU. You are doing it anyway. You talk of security while leaving a designated terror network untouched in central London. You lecture about the cost of living while your policies make it worse.

The mask is not slipping, Keir. It has fallen off and shattered on the floor.

The British people see you clearly now: a politician who values international approval and Brussels goodwill more than the nation that elected him. You are not leading Britain. You are managing its managed decline.

The clock is ticking. Not in secret. Not in silence. Out loud, in broad daylight, across every pub, every kitchen table, every X feed and every street in this country.

History does not forgive those who sell their own people’s sovereignty for applause.

Britain did not vote for this.
Britain does not want this.
And Britain will not tolerate this forever.

The reckoning is coming.
And it will not be kind.

Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

There are growing calls for a criminal case against Morgan McSweeney for failing to declare £739,000 in donations to his “Labour Together” outfit.

But many journalists are missing a bigger question: who MADE the donations?

I’ll give you the names they won’t… 🧵

Over the past 9 months, I have been investigating how the Home Office has been preparing for the national grooming gangs inquiry - and crucially, whether vital evidence has been properly protected.

What I’ve found is extremely concerning...

In June last year, Baroness Louise Casey recommended a full national inquiry.

Her Audit was clear that in the meantime, police forces, councils and authorities across the country should be required not to destroy any records that could be used as evidence.

But we now know that didn’t happen.

Freedom of Information requests now appear to show the Home Office waited a staggering 212 days - nearly seven months - before formally contacting police forces and other key agencies.

Today, the Home Affairs select Committee has written directly to the Home Secretary warning that this 212 failure means that some records critical to the inquiry “might have been destroyed”.

That is a staggering failure at the heart of government.

I first raised the alarm on this in December, after uncovering that authorities in Bradford had not received any instruction at all from government.

Just two days later, newly appointed Chair of the National Inquiry, Baroness Anne Longfield, wrote to the Government reinforcing exactly the same point.

Yet even after that warning, it still took another 36 days for the Home Office to act and pass the Chair's message on to authorities.

Freedom of information requests show that then-Permanent Secretary Antonio Romeo finally wrote to Home Office-funded Arm’s Length Bodies and Chief Constables across the country on 14 January 2026 - 7 months after the Casey Audit.

The government now has serious and unavoidable questions it must answer.

- Why was there such a delay?
- What kind of records may have been lost?
- What are the legal consequences if records have been lost, but the Home Office failed to act?

Even now, it remains unclear whether local councils across the country were ever formally contacted at all about the protection of records.

Unless the government can provide clear answers to these questions, they risk not only undermining confidence in this process, but failing victims who have already been let down for far too long.

[Trina @hightreebud]

@JohnSwinney Yeah, you know how to get things done...

£914,000 of taxpayers money losing cases to For Women Scotland.

£370,000 more lost on the s35 case.

And £134,000 so far to keep men in women's prisons.

≈ £1.3 million trying to destroy women's rights.

We see EXACTLY who you are.

Iran is executing its own citizens, including teenagers—and the world barely says a word.
Where is the @UN and all the other so-called human rights groups?
The silence is deafening.

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Nicola Sturgeon will receive a "resettlement grant" of £77,710 this year for standing down as an MSP, the first £30,000 of which is tax-free. That's on top of a payment of £64,378 when she stood down as FM. That's a total of £142,088 *just for walking away when things got tough*.

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

Always very entertaining to see John Swinney boast about the verdict given to his government by the credit rating agencies.
A verdict that, as he declines to point out, is *conditional on Scotland being a part of the United Kingdom*.

Everybody should repost as many Tweets from Rupert and the rape inquiry as the can.
If the media won't cover it and the government ignore it we all need to make some noise.

Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney used £730,000 of illegally undeclared donations to fund a campaign to bring down Jeremy Corbyn and elect Keir Starmer as Labour Leader.

[Anthony Stodart @StodartAnthony]

@scotgov The first duty of any council or government is to educate its citizens so that they can better themselves and their offspring. This SNP govt has singularly failed to do that and we are on a downward spiral. This new policy is only going to make things even worse
