Discussing football and politics despite nobody asking for my opinion. It's easier to fool a nation 🇬🇧 than to tell a nation they're being fooled.

The arrested Sudanese man was an 'asylum seeker'.

He entered Britain in February 2023, immediately claiming asylum, according to the police.

Who was the immigration minister at the time? And then when the man was granted leave to remain in our country?

Reform's Robert Jenrick.

Who was Home Secretary?

Reform's Suella Braverman.

They were responsible for our borders.

They failed, in the most horrific way, with the most horrific consequences.

A Restore Britain Government will abolish the entire asylum system.

No more asylum seekers.

Anyone who entered our country illegally will be deported, regardless of current status.

Enough.

Restore Britain will not fail you.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

This is simply not true @Keir_Starmer.

You absolutely DO tolerate abhorrent scenes of violence like this attack. Just like you tolerate all the rapes and sexual assaults of women and girls by illegal migrants.

You - and most of the political class - decided long ago that these crimes are a price worth paying in return for achieving your multicultural, diverse, open bordered nirvana.

So don't pretend to be shocked and don't wring your hands in sadness. This is the predictable (and predicted) result of the policies YOU support.

Daniel Priestley says higher taxes on the rich won't fix the economy

"Taxing the rich is like a headline. It creates enemies who aren't actually the enemies. The enemy isn't the entrepreneur who builds a business or creates something valuable. The enemy is the financialization of our homes and mega-corporations that don't want to pay tax"

"Taxing the rich makes for a good headline, but it won't fix the economy. What we need is a thriving entrepreneurial class. You could raise taxes on the top 1% for political reasons because it would make people feel good, but it won't change the economy"

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

You don’t. The UK is losing billionaires and getting poorer.

As government gets bigger more money is taken from the productive economy into the unproductive.

In the real economy people buy things they want voluntarily. Government takes money through enforced taxation and moves it into a £1.4T per year monopoly.

When government was 35% of gdp life was better than when its 46% of gdp.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.

Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.

Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.

Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.

The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.

In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.

In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.

It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.

[Europa.com @europa]

🇬🇧 27 non-EU migrants have been hired for every British youngster under 25 since 2020.

Research by CSJ also revealed that the number of British NEETs (young people not in employment, education, or training) has swelled to almost one million.

HMRC estimates that equalising capital gains tax with income tax would COST the exchequer some £6 billion a year because people will choose not to cash in their gains so no tax would be liable

The average British person you speak to on the daily is factually wrong on pretty much everything

[Institute of Economic Affairs @iealondon]

📊 On average, Brits think the NHS makes a 34% profit. It doesn't make any.

Supermarkets profits are estimated at 50%. The reality: 2–4%.

Voters think energy companies make 57%. The reality: -5% to 15%.

We are significantly overestimating how much companies profit.

@smiler_utd @SolemnLupine This is some of the biggest head loss after losing an argument I've seen on Twitter 😂

Just making things up in your head to feel better about your inefficiencies cognitively

[Tom @TomTalkingSh1t]

There is banter with your mates and then there is situations like this - *being a complete cunt whilst putting someone's life at risk*

Low iq morons like this, don't even realise the difference until someone breaks their spine and then they'll play the victim

[Catherine @catherine_6907]

Proper good old fashioned British sense of humour.. fucking love it!!🤣🤣

[Tom @TomTalkingSh1t]

@smiler_utd @SolemnLupine 3 points of contact? Weight of the bucket?

Not close to health and safety standards. Plus, common sense and eyes can see this is unsafe

Ah Yes let's excuse this guys shit behaviour because other counties have shit safety regulations.

Proper genius you 🙈

[Tom @TomTalkingSh1t]

@smiler_utd @SolemnLupine ????

You alright in the head pal?

[Tom @TomTalkingSh1t]

@smiler_utd @SolemnLupine He's Evidently Struggling 🤦‍♂️

If you had even a smidgen of social intelligence, you would see he's laughing it off cause he's a young lad trying to fit in.

Like i said in my original tweet, it's funny to morons like you until his body gives way, and his spine is broken

[max tempers @maxtempers]

British supermarkets are a genuine example of a world-leading sector, both in the breadth of their offering to consumers and in the razor-thin margins they operate on. So, of course, it’s been incumbent on every govt to wage war on them.

[Mr B @laziolabubu]

A lot of bullies and low life on building sites, hope the lad realises how shit that life is and retrains rather than having to work with dossing wankers like that cunt for the rest of his life.

[Tom @TomTalkingSh1t]

@avisualgame They're alright, champions. Definitely best team in the league. But certainly no better than they were in 23-24.

Bit boring to watch at times.

But Gabriel and Raya especially have been immense for them an ultimately their contributions defensively pushed them clear of City
