This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.
This appears to be an admission by the Treasury that the Labour Party has given up on welfare reform and in fact is prioritising welfare over defence. Which has been evident for some time but is now explicit.
City bidding £120mil for a player Newcastle had to sell to comply with FFP while still having not had a single punishment for 115 charges. On the day Everton are punished yet again for one overpayment that only occurred because of the War in Ukraine. Football has become a farce
I started work at 5.30 am this morning and I'm home since 9pm
I'm fucking shattered
I'm not young anymore
I'm now having a drink to try and unwind before I get up and do it all again tomorrow
Why doesn't this pay off ?
Why can't this pay off for my children ?
Why are my taxes going towards making the lives of men who have no connection to me,my family or my land more comfortable and better ?
I hate the left
I hate self loathing Irish people with no pride
I hate corrupted appeasing NGOs
I hate Irish politicians
I hate what my country has become
I love Ireland
I love Irish people
God bless
🇮🇪🇮🇪
As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.
A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.
This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.
In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.
But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”
British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?
We genuinely do not understand this.
Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

Telling angry people to calm down hardly ever works. I've tried it with women. A pat on the bottom and telling them not to worry their pretty little head about it makes things worse if anything. Apparently they prefer you to listen to them about what has made them mad.
“Groups of masked men…”
“…target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.”
“…intimidation and violence…”
The irony 🙄👇🏻
