Wow! 😳

This is astounding!

Yes, the statement is accurate for the UK in 2024-25. Official HMRC data shows income tax receipts at £309.4 billion, while OBR and https://t.co/5iAuG3WcvE figures indicate social security benefits expenditure at around £313 billion, exceeding income tax. This means all income tax revenue covers benefits, with other taxes funding public services.

This week a self-described "influential think tank", the IPPR, advised that the "UK must seek EU membership”. Charlotte Gill was not surprised to find it was funded by George Soros and the European Climate Foundation. https://t.co/EjIyLuMSrV

Britain’s cyber security agency is urgently investigating a Beijing-backed hacking campaign amid fears that sensitive secrets were compromised.

One NHS Highland worker has been receiving their full salary and benefits for 17 YEARS despite not having a specific job anymore. The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid over that period:

Why is the unvetted husband of such a repulsive individual allowed to drive the Chagos betrayal and scam?

Smart TVs will be forced to power up more slowly under plans to align Britain with the EU's Net Zero rules capping the power usage of devices on standby. https://t.co/Gtgs4pkWHA

Smart TVs will be forced to power up more slowly under plans to align Britain with the EU’s net zero rules.

The rules would probably mean smart TVs and other devices have to disconnect from WiFi when not in use, slowing down their “wake-up” time when a user switches them on again ⤵️

Labour need to do less criticising of other political party’s vetting and look at their own.

The Spectator has reported that before Jonathan Powell started his role as Britain’s national security adviser, he wasn’t security vetted.

His wife, Sarah Helm, has shown online support for Hamas and Palestine Action.

Outrageous. Heads need to roll for this.

[Mark Higgie @MarkHiggie2]

Britain has a long tradition of its establishment throwing caution to the wind with characters considered ‘one of us’: Mandelson, Philby, Burgess, Maclean, Blunt…

A march against Marine Le Pen's party in Orléans, and out comes a giant Palestinian flag.

Organisers say they're marching against racism and fascism.

What's Gaza got to do with a French election? Nothing, we all know what it's about...

BREAKING: Rioters have broken into the Colosseum in Rome.

What has happened to Europe?

Troubling to think how many female patients and nurses have had to endure this cos-playing creep at their bedside/in their changing room and have been too scared to say anything until now…

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

WTF?! Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer wants Hamas's political wing taken OFF the terror list.

That "political wing" is led by Khalil al-Hayya, who helped plot October 7th.

The Greens used to be an environmental party, now they're a bunch of vile antisemites.

Shameful.

@maccadoo8 Unions claim to be member-led, but the reality is that unrepresentative activists are calling the shots over important issues like self-ID and protecting single sex spaces for women and girls

[Mark Irvine @Mark1957]

Unison priorities in 2026 - campaigning for migrant workers and for transvestite men to be allowed into single sex spaces reserved for women and girls

These are not the priorities of grassroots Unison members of course

🤮 Antisemite Ross Greer defends “From the River to the Sea”

[The Spectator Australia @SpectatorOz]

Lefty, ethnically French young people must feel they’ve little investment in France. Tritely radicalised teachers have drilled into them that not only is their culture evil, but that they have no future. Climate change will scorch the earth to a cinder. Having last passed a balanced budget in 1973, their country is headed for fiscal oblivion (true).

Absolutely grotesque the number of public servants who are paid full salaries for doing nothing - for up to 17 years - in a public sector which has grown fat and complacent on taxpayer funding. This is entiely the fault of SNP governments which have refused to root out waste and challenge unions. Time for a major shake-up. https://t.co/dI7A3oyeAa
