Shabana has made a serious mistake surrendering to Labour MPs. So I’m putting people on notice - when we get into government we will scrap this weak policy.
Immigration is too high. Labour are making a bad situation much, much worse.
The Conservative Party is under new management. I accept this problem started under a previous Conservative govt. Many of those in that Cabinet have gone to Reform where they belong.
And I’ve got a proper plan to fix it👇
Islamic Republic (hardliners/reformists) exports terror and threatens EU. Stop sacrificing global security for financial interests. You turned a blind eye to the slaughter of Iranians. Don’t assume the consequences won’t come knocking at your own door. Act before it’s too late.
🇬🇧 For 300 years, North African pirates enslaved over a million Europeans. 🇬🇧
Spain. Italy. France. Ireland. Even Iceland.
Entire villages taken.
Europe paid ransoms. Begged. No one could stop it.
Then Britain sailed into Algiers harbour. 50,000 cannonballs. 9 hours.
Every slave walked free. Not just British. All of them.
300 years of terror. Ended in a single day.
Be proud of us. 🇬🇧
‘I don’t blame Angela Rayner for wanting to stock up on Sauvignon blanc, I would if I was in that party with all of those people.’
GB News Chief Political Correspondent @forster_k questions Kemi Badenoch about what she would stockpile in line with the government’s guidelines.
@CaslavskaR@TrumpGirlLove In Britain it’s Movember (November with a M) which is for men and depression and high suicide rate . Have compassion!
I have two children and I would die for them I am a helicopter mum. But imagine being so desperate you have to leave your children
Every sum you've ever written has Britain in it. 🇬🇧
Not the numbers. The marks between them. 👀
Equals. Times. Greater than. Less than. Infinity. Pi. Even the dot. 🧮
You've used them since you were five.
Nobody ever told you who made them. 🤐
John Napier, Edinburgh. His neighbours swore he was a wizard. He made the decimal point normal. 🐓
Robert Recorde, Tenby. Sick of writing "is equal to", he drew two long lines instead. A year later he died in a debtors' prison. ⛓️
William Oughtred, Surrey. A village vicar whose little book made the times sign famous. Isaac Newton learned his algebra from it. ✖️
Thomas Harriot, the Thames. He drew the Moon through a telescope before Galileo did. Then he put it in a drawer. 🔭
John Wallis, London. He cracked the Royalists' codes in the Civil War. Then he drew a loop with no end. ♾️
William Jones, Anglesey. A farmer's boy who taught sailors on a warship. He gave the never-ending number its name. ⭕
Six people. Seven marks. Every sum you've ever written.
They teach you the sums. Never the people who made them. 📚
Watch the full story. 🎥
It seems nobody else is counting. Help us put Britain back in the sum.
Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧
Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
🚨HOLY CRAP!!!
A White man in Illinois GOES BALLISTIC on a Black family who took 40 JUICE BOXES off his porch during Halloween.
White Homeowner: "YOU STOLE FORTY JUICE BOXES!!!! You took EVERYTHING! YOU ARE THIEVES!!
Black Mother: "Well then you shouldn't put it outside..."
Britain ran the slave trade. Britain sent seven-year-olds into the mills.
And Britain ended both. 🇬🇧
How can one country be the villain and the hero? It can't. There were two Britains.
One owned people. The other did the work.
When slavery ended, historians counted every slave owner living in Britain. About three thousand, in a country of sixteen million. 📜
Bankers, merchants, lords and MPs. The other Britain couldn't vote them out: most men had no vote, and no woman had one. 🗳️
Take Samuel Greg. In 1784 he built Quarry Bank Mill at Styal, in Cheshire. By the time he retired, it was the biggest cotton mill in the country.
More than half his workers were children. Many were orphans from the workhouse. 🧵
Four thousand miles away, the Greg family owned the Hillsborough sugar plantation on Dominica, worked by enslaved Africans. 🌴
The blankets they slept under were made at his mill. Orphan children here. Enslaved Africans there. Making money for the same family.
So who stood up to them?
In 1787 a young campaigner called Thomas Clarkson went to Bristol. ⚓
Thompson, landlord of the Seven Stars pub, refused to help trick sailors onto the slave ships. Instead he took Clarkson round the dockside pubs at night, at real risk to himself.
The crew lists showed two slave ships to Africa had killed more British sailors than eighty-three ships to Newfoundland. Their stories helped turn the country against the trade.
Manchester didn't even have an MP. So more than ten thousand people, about one in five in the town, signed a petition to end it. ✍️
In 1830 Richard Oastler heard about Bradford's mills. One boy of about ten worked from six in the morning till ten at night.
Oastler wrote to the Leeds Mercury. He called it Yorkshire Slavery. 📰
In April 1832, thousands of mill workers walked to York to fight for their children. They called it the Pilgrimage of Mercy. 🚶
Against slavery, women went door to door. One petition in May 1833 carried 187,000 women's names. Not one of them could vote. 👩
Then came two dates.
28 August 1833: Britain signs the law to end slavery across most of the Empire. 🇬🇧
29 August 1833: the very next day, it signs the Factory Act. No child under nine in most textile mills. 🏛️
Neither law was a gift from the slave owners. Both were won by people with no vote, no money and no power.
So next time someone tells you "Britain did this", ask them: which Britain?
Odds are five thousand to one you come from the side that won.

🚨BREAKING: Jeremy Clarkson is facing fresh calls from the left to be CANCELED after he weighed in on the Muslim grooming gangs scandal and said it is not racist to investigate a rapist.
His exact words: “It’s not racist to investigate a rapist! We need to remove the shackles of political correctness from the police.”
In his column, Clarkson argued that police must be freed from the fear of being labeled racist if they pursue these cases. He wrote that a young girl could report being raped by a gang of Pakistani men only to be dismissed because officers know they risk cancellation for reporting it.
Clarkson said another public inquiry is unnecessary because the problem is already clear, and the real obstacle has been the refusal to confront the ethnicity of the perpetrators without being accused of bigotry. The comments have drawn sharp criticism online from activists who claim he is stoking racism, with some calling for advertisers and platforms to drop him.
This is the same pattern that has followed Clarkson for years whenever he says something "politically incorrect".
@mygibbo@JohnCleese Not sure what you mean cowardly bot?
Yes I do understand British role in slavery. It was a dark history imposed by many. Spain & Portugal also terrible .
Since we evolved from hunter gatherers to settled agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution we had slaves.
