Britain's Cooling Hierarchy:
1. Have you tried imagining it wasn't so hot?
2. Have you tried opening a window? (not one that opens directly onto a blast furnace, nuclear cooling tower, or similar)
3. Have you tried complaining about the heat to friends and relatives?
4. Have you tried complaining a bit louder than at point 3?
5. Have you tried mentally modelling how much worse it would be if you were ginger?
5. Have you tried just ignoring it?
6. Have you tried putting your cup of tea in the fridge to cool it down slightly before drinking?
7. Have you fully considered the diversity, equity and inclusion aspects of the heat, and that some people in the world live in hotter places?
8. Have you attempted the ALS ice bucket challenge?
9. Have you tried keeping your coat on for a few hours, so you appreciate it more when you take it off?
10. Have you sought the consent of the heat before you attempt to remove it from your home?
Only after all of the above points have been demonstrated with evidence will the local authority be able to formally and officially reject your application to install air conditioning.
The whole Restore thing is so retarded. The right needs to stop acting like spurned lovers who bail at the slightest discomfort and start taking over parties from the inside. Nothing in politics will be handed to you.
You think a boomer candidate isn't desperately trying to revert back to their boomer programming? Of course they are, it's why you need young energy in the room steering them back on track.
In 2010, the communist wing of the Democrat party didn't exist. In 15 years they took the entire thing over. And the Democrat party in America is a lot fucking harder to take over than a couple of brand new parties in the UK.
You need people in Restore and you need people in Reform. And those people need to work together to bring both parties to the right. The real value of Restore is not to land a 400 seat majority. The role of Restore is to move Reform to the right, where Farage promised they would be before he got cold feet. The role of Restore is to be an alternative if a Reform government falters. The role of Restore is to win enough seats that you hold leverage and can withhold or provide votes to Reform to get your policies enacted.
The Liberals in Canada have mastered the 2 party strategy. You need to learn from them. They have a radical left wing party called the NDP who never forms government but is always there as a left wing vanguard to continue moving the country left. The other party is the supposedly moderate Liberal party which is not moderate in any way shape or form. But the presence of the NDP makes them look moderate in comparison and gets them elected as the "centrist" party. The conservative party in Canada has had no answer to this model for 15 years and it looks like they won't for the next 10 years either. Replicate this model in the UK and you will have a right wing government for the next decade or more.
And lastly and probably most importantly stop the retarded catfighting with each other on social media and start getting to work fixing your country. You're not going to save anything bickering with each other online. All that does is make you look like an amateur hour party that no one should take seriously.
Today, I can announce we have secured a full independent grooming gangs inquiry across Keighley and the wider Bradford district.
This is a watershed moment and marks a significant turning point in the pursuit of justice, truth and accountability for victims and survivors right across our area. It comes almost two decades after Anne Cryer first had the courage to raise this issue in Parliament.
The inquiry will be fully independent of Bradford Council.
It will focus on examining failures in local and national safeguarding systems, evidence handling, institutional accountability, and investigate the role of ethnicity, race and culture, and allegations of systematic abuse covered up by authorities.
It will have statutory powers to compel witnesses and evidence.
And where there is evidence of wrongdoing or cover-ups, it will be able to refer matters to the police.
No one will be able to hide.
When I first got elected, six and a half years ago, some of the first meetings I had were with local survivors like Fiona Goddard.
Listening to their accounts of this crime, I was confronted with horrors that I will never forget.
I made a promise to them then that I would do everything in my power to ensure their voices were heard and the truth would come out.
Since then, I have consistently campaigned for this inquiry.
I want to pay tribute to Fiona Goddard and the many others from across Keighley whom I have met - without them, none of this would be possible.
Fiona is one of the bravest individuals I have ever met. Her extraordinary courage in speaking out and becoming a leading voice for survivors nationally should be an inspiration to us all - both locally in Keighley and across the UK.
Now, after tireless campaigning and lobbying, their voices are finally being heard.
I also want to recognise the work of leading child abuse lawyer David Greenwood, who has helped bring vital cases and evidence forward. He has been crucial to this campaign. Working with him, it has been clear for all to see that the scale of this issue across the Bradford District will dwarf that of the likes of Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford.
At times, our calls for a full inquiry were dismissed, or rejected altogether. Yet despite this we refused to give up.
For many years, political leaders from across our region, including the previous Bradford Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe, the Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin and Deputy Mayor for Policing, Alison Lowe repeatedly rejected our calls for an inquiry.
It was my firm view that these refusals mirrored the same patterns of denial seen in towns like Rotherham and Telford. There, decades of abuse were hidden in plain sight until independent inquires finally forced the truth into the open.
It was deeply frustrating, but nevertheless welcome that it was only once a national inquiry was recommended by Baroness Casey in June 2025, supported by the Home Secretary, that these same local leaders changed their position, and supported our calls.
Whilst no inquiry can undo the pain and suffering they have endured, it can help ensure the truth is uncovered and that those who were failed finally receive the answers they have spent years fighting for.
And finally.
One of the most difficult lessons of this entire process is that survivors have had to become campaigners themselves just to be heard.
That should never have been necessary.
It speaks to a deep and painful failure in Britain right now, and of the institutions at every level of the British state.
Now we owe it to survivors, and to thousands across our area who suffered in silence, to see this through together.
This inquiry must seek the truth - however horrific it may be. And bring about justice to those who have been failed for far too long.
I will not stop until we achieve this.

I will not stop posting this funding diagram until Hope not Hate are put under proper scrutiny. Their entire funding model stinks! They hide behind charitable status while engaging in nakedly political activity. It’s time to put a stop to this.
I went to a prestigious prep school (Choate).
By default, I know way too many people who slid into the USAID grifter circuit.
It’s way worse than you think: nauseating buzzword-filled circle-jerks on Zoom calls, business-class conferences in Zurich, private champagne dinners, and endless layers of outsourcing (each one taking their fat cut) - all on unlimited expense accounts.
Saying 90% of the “aid” disappears into admin, overhead, and fraud is a gross understatement.
And for what?
So these con artists can LARP as humanitarian saviors, feign respectability, and send their kids to private school…
…all on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.
It's a lifestyle racket. A facade.
And the worst part is that we're all expected to hold these people in high regard.
When I drove to work this morning I did not see a single White person out on the street.
Everyone was black or brown.
I live in a small rural town in England.
This is insanity.
