Increasingly bitter over policy and process failures and the maladministration I'm expected to accept without question or complaint. (Same ID on Parler and Gab)

The new powers only apply to defined contribution schemes, so it's essentially war on private sector workers.

🚨 Raped before execution 🚨
That's the destiny reserved for Niloufar Esfahani.

She is only 18 years old and comes from Qazvin, in Iran.
In January 2026, she was arrested together with her mother during the nationwide protests against the Islamic regime.
Her only “crime” was asking for freedom and dignity.

A few days later, the revolutionary court sentenced her to death by hanging.
But before killing her, according to reports from activists and historical testimonies from Iranian prisons, they intend to rape her.
Why? Because Niloufar is a virgin.

According to a distorted and barbaric religious belief, a virgin girl who is executed would go straight to paradise.
For this reason, in the past and still today, virgin female prisoners are systematically raped before execution: to “send them to hell” instead of paradise.

This is a practice documented for decades and confirmed even by former officials of the regime itself.

She is a girl like so many others, with her whole life ahead of her, who is about to be crushed by the ayatollahs’ killing machine.

🚨 Starmer Announces Bold Mission to Reopen Strait of Hormuz… After Iran and Trump Just Declared It Open

Starmer's masterplan: “We will lead a multinational mission to open the Strait of Hormuz.”

Iran & Trump just announced it's already fully open today 😂

Brilliant timing, Keir. The ships are sailing while you're still scheduling the planning meeting. 🤡

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

How on earth is the UK letting a muslim terrorist convicted in a 1999 Yemeni terror plot, conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Aden, an Anglican church, and a hotel, run for local council office in Birmingham?

Shahid Butt was jailed for 5 years as part of an Abu Hamza-linked group. Now he’s standing as an independent in Sparkhill for the May 7 elections.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Oh yes. Lebanon is a wonderful exemplar of peaceful coexistence if you exclude the civil war from 1975-1990 that claimed the lives of 150,000+ people, and forced my family to flee. Thank you @Pontifex for your suicidal empathy.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

MUST WATCH: Olly Robbins confirms that Starmer personally chose Mandelson and that the FCDO was told to make it happen.

Security officials said he shouldn’t get clearance. They were overruled.

Starmer then told the public Mandelson had “clearance for the role.”

He must he take responsibility and resign.

[Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306]

As usual, Ciaran Martin is busy spreading bullshit to hacks.
The PM is *often* told by officials details from vetting, leak inquiries, investigations by intel agencies etc.
This is because the PM in our constitution is often the only constitutional authority deemed able to make a political judgement about things including risk assessments of appointments.
Martin's bullshit that details are never shared is factually untrue.
Often officials run through a list - sorry PM, sex pest. Sorry, being investigated by NCA for fraud but we shd keep this quiet as he isn't charged yet. Sorry, he was asked about leaking X and he lied to the investigators, a breach of the ministerial code...
I've watched discussions about each of these things with the PM and officials.
Martin is asking you to believe that officials can just say 'sorry PM you can't appoint X he's failed vetting' and *the PM* isn't allowed to know any details. Absurd for many reasons.
I know I say ministers have become NPCs but it isn't quite that bad yet - though the likes of Martin would *like* officials to control absolutely everything.
When the penetration of Whitehall by PRC intel became a huge story, Martin spread disinfo to hacks trying to make the disaster look less disastrous.
He is a Remainiac Heywood stooge who pipes up for elements of Whitehall & shd not be treated as any sort of 'impartial official'.
Mandelson was a political appointment. All sides agree that the PM made this appointment and made clear he was pushing it through before various checks were done and regardless of various checks already done.
If the vetting people came back with concerns, *the proper action was UNQUESTIONABLY for officials to take this to the PM* for him to make a judgement about the pros/cons and risks of his own political appointment, including the 'details' which Martin is pretending junior vetting officials are allowed to know but not *the PM*. This is the only proper way for such a problem to be resolved.
Ollie Robbins and Ciaran are talking crap.
And so is Starmer.
All systems are working as intended.

Also hacks shd be asking:
Who officially authorised Mandelson for STRAP clearance?
You don't get to read very sensitive material, like transcripts of intercepted calls between important people, just because you've got DV - you *also* need STRAP.
Either a) an official cleared Mandy for STRAP or else b) the requirement / 3+ month delay was waived by the PM, or c) we're supposed to believe Mandy wasn't shown STRAP material?
So which official authorised it or did the PM waive it? When?
(It's already in the published paper trail that he was told it would take over 3 months)

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

You go to work for 40 years (I'm currently at 42).

You’re forced into auto‑enrolment. You play by the rules, you save into a pension on the promise it’s yours.

Then Labour strolls in, waves through a law that lets ministers tell your scheme where to gamble those savings – not for your benefit, but to prop up their economic “strategy” and vanity infrastructure schemes that the market won’t fund.

This isn’t prudence. It isn’t “modernisation”. It is a straightforward transfer of control from the saver to the state.

Hands off our pensions. Share this before they pretend nobody noticed.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The Pope cites Lebanon as an example of peaceful “coexistence” between Christians and Muslims.

Fun fact: Lebanon was literally created to be a homeland for persecuted Christians in the Middle East. And it was for a few decades.

The moment Muslim invaders thought they had the numbers, they started a civil war that lasted 15 years because they didn’t want to live with the same Christians who made them part of the country.

Thousands of Christians were massacred, Muslims became the majority, Hezbollah took over, and the country hasn’t known peace ever since.

Lebanon is the first and ultimate example that coexistence between Christians and Muslims is quite literally impossible.

It’s mind-blowing that anyone would use it as an example of coexistence, let alone the Pope.

[Catherine McBride OBE @CeeMacBee]

Renewable electricity does not produce: petrol, diesel, bunker fuel, or jet fuel; it does not produce the feed stock for ammonia used to make fertilisers, or feedstocks for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or plastics; it does not produce bitumen, carbon fibres, armaments or ammunition; it does not produce the industrial heat needed to make cement, glass, aluminium, ceramics or steel.

Claiming we shouldn't mine oil and gas in the UK because we won't be self sufficient is like suggesting we shouldn't produce any food because we won't be able to grow enough and would still need to import some.

Caroline Lucas is NOT right.

[Emmanuel Igwe @mannieigwe]

So, Britain would have to pay the EU £570m next year, followed by £840m in future years for the privilege of joining this scheme. The Turing scheme is more targeted, cheaper (£110m per year), has broader global reach and only funds British talent. Tell me something Erasmus+ offers British students that Turing doesn't.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

When I was in No10, somebody failed developed vetting before their proposed appointment to a sensitive post.

We were told immediately, and were advised - correctly - that this person could not be appointed.

Who gave that advice? Sue Gray - later Starmer’s chief of staff.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

People have no idea how broken Britain is.

If an asylum claim is refused officials send a letter saying “You should now leave the UK.”

That’s it.
No follow up. No deportation.

How many asylum seekers leave do you think?

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

If you think Britain is struggling now, hold onto something solid. Because the Green Party, currently polling ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives, has published a programme that makes this government's failures look like a golden age of competence and order.

Start with immigration. Not controlled immigration. Not managed migration. Open borders. The Greens' own internal documents describe a system that treats every arrival as a citizen in waiting, entitled to NHS access, welfare benefits and the right to vote in all elections, including those who have never achieved settled status. A Panmure Liberum analysis estimates that under Green government, net migration would run at around 900,000 a year, adding 4.4 million people to Britain's population by 2034. Call it what it is. A demographic transformation imposed without consent.

Germany provides the evidence of what happens when a government throws open its doors and works out the consequences later. Angela Merkel's open borders decision in 2015 was greeted with the same progressive applause the Greens would generate. According to German government statistics by 2021, asylum seekers made up 2.5 percent of Germany's population but 13.1 percent of all sexual assault suspects. In 2023 there were 761 registered gang rapes, almost two every day, nearly half involving foreign suspects. Knife crimes in North Rhine-Westphalia nearly tripled between 2020 and 2023. Berlin's own police chief stated publicly that violence in the capital was young, male and had a non-German background. The lesson sits there, documented, ignored, while Zack Polanski's party proposes to repeat the experiment at four times the speed, in a country already facing an active Iranian state threat and twenty foiled terrorist plots on British soil.

Then there are the other policies. Legalised heroin and crack cocaine. The disestablishment of the Church of England, severing a constitutional settlement that has held for five centuries. A conference that descended into chaos over a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism while party WhatsApp groups contained messages describing Jews as an abomination to this planet. The abolition of immigration detention. Amnesty for every failed asylum seeker. And the scrapping of Prevent, which for all its flaws has kept people alive, at the precise moment MI5 assesses the domestic threat as the most complex it has ever faced.

Picture the Britain that emerges from a single Green parliament. A population swollen by four million, the border a memory, detention abolished, Prevent gone, heroin dispensed on the high street, the Church disestablished, campuses already hostile to Jewish students rendered ungovernable, and the IRGC, which this Labour government cannot bring itself to proscribe, operating freely through networks the state has just defunded its ability to monitor.

Labour under Starmer is a kakistocracy, paralysed by demography and incapable of naming what it can see. That is dangerous enough. The Green Party is not paralysed. It has a programme, a growing membership of 226,000, a youth wing that is the largest in Europe and a polling trajectory built on a generation of left wing progressives processed through captured institutions who have been taught to call this manifesto enlightenment. It knows exactly what it wants and it is acquiring the means to deliver it.

What is happening now will seem like order.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

This week, Labour MPs voted to give ministers the power to decide how your pension savings are invested.

So ministers get pensions with guaranteed payouts, while they direct your savings towards their pet ideological causes, even if that means you lose money.

Disgraceful.

[Matt Casey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 @MattCas04807118]

So apart from trying to give away the Chagos islands.
Recognising Palestine.

Having no operable warships.
Not smashing the gangs.
Approving a huge Chinese embassy in London.
Spending 23 seconds laying a wreath in Southport only to rush back to a drinks party.

Raising capital gains tax, Raising council tax.
Raising value added tax.

Scrapping jury trials.
The only boat he has stopped is HMS dragon from crossing the channel.

What has Starmer really achieved apart from breakfast clubs and the decay of our country?

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

How do MPs - literally elected by the public - constantly get away with falsely smearing ordinary, decent said public as “fascists” and “far-right”?

It is utterly disgraceful.

The majority of people attending this event @KimJohnsonMP will be everyday folk who are worried about the absolute state of this country and its direction of travel.

They have also tried, repeatedly, to democratically request reduced immigration and elected MPs ignore them. In fact, they do the exact opposite.

They are exasperated at the way & pace their communities are changing and they are terrified that they and their children are no longer safe.

The way you talk about & regard them is disgraceful and is a big part of the reason many of you guys will soon be losing your jobs.

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

This is Naz Shah.
Labour MP for Bradford.

Naz shared a post telling victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs to “shut up for the sake of diversity.”

Now, Naz is claiming that she “fought grooming gangs before anyone else.”

Naz is a liar.
Utterly, utterly awful woman.

[Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte]

Pope Leo grew up in Chicago.

I grew up in Lebanon.

I wasn't forced to leave Lebanon because there was peaceful coexistence.

I was forced to leave Lebanon because Islamic terrorists blew up my home and killed many of the people I grew up with.

I wish the Pope would talk to the persecuted Lebanese before making ignorant statements about countries he knows very little about.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted …

Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’.

Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks.

I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?
