Our MPs are supposed to represent the people in Parliament. Butler is anti-British: so why is she an MP?
Apparently she is representing a constituency that is 85% non-British — why do they then have the vote?
Butler is a foreign MP representing foreign people who hate us. Deport.

A stolen watch doesn’t become yours just because you pass it down to your children. So why apply a different rule to stolen labour, wealth and land? Reparations are about inherited benefit and inherited loss. Time doesn’t erase injustice.

[John Bull @54JohnBull]

Considering there is really little chance of war or a cyber attack causing a 3-day UK shutdown, I would suggest the government has finally been told there is a likely electricity grid failure coming this winter.
The link describes what could happen if the grid trips. Only 60% of power will likely be restored in 24 hours. It could take 5–7 days for power to be completely restored. In the worst case, it could be 14 days.

I am so fucking bored of tedious cunts in the media parroting the ignorant lie that “drilling for gas won’t reduce our gas price” — these people are stupid and ignorant. And to be ignorant in this age is a deliberate act — and that is evil.
Any Rand was right.

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

CHART OF THE DAY: The price of natural gas in the US 🇺🇸 and Europe 🇪🇺. Now, imagine running a gas-intensive company (say, a fertilizer plant) in either region. Europe >$30; US <$3

@illandancient Yes. But only a bit.
And yes, part of the reason that many Scots support Gazans is because there is an identification.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

It is not just because she is a member of the Greens: the Scots see themselves as the Gazans of the UK.
Because they are as thick as fucking mince.
But there are parallels: like the Gazans, the Scots are a chippy, pointless drain on productive people’s resources.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is the co-leader of the Scottish Greens and a member of the Scottish Parliament. Watch this if you still have any doubts Holyrood should be closed down.

Behold the stunned, slack-jawed French activist, a proud member of the left-wing cabal and one of the loudest, most relentless champions of flinging open the gates to North African migration.

Apparently, for years she has whitewashed every riot, rape, and rampage they unleash, shrieking “racism!” at anyone who dares notice the wreckage.

She owns a precious little chic boutique in an upscale corner of the country she helped dismantle. When the horde came for it, she planted herself in the doorway like a saint, bleating that she was the famous asylum activist, that she had fought for their entry and their permanent presence, that she was on their side.

They spat on her. Knocked her down. Trampled her underfoot. She is lucky to be breathing. They emptied the shop of every last item, the lifetime of work and struggle reduced to empty shelves and broken glass in a single feral afternoon.

She ended up on the metal shutters, dazed, staring at the ruins, unable to process that the thieving, rabble-rousing, criminal, barbaric hordes she had spent her entire existence defending and inviting in were the ones who had just fed on her.

Because of her celebrity as a defender of North African “refugees,” every French media outlet yesterday plastered her story and her photo in front of the gutted boutique.

Poor, bewildered thing, a whole life squandered, and she still cannot grasp the scale of the suicidal stupidity that helped drag France into this ruin.

Even when you feed the crocodile, it will still eat you.

[Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306]

Reminder: just yesterday we learned that:
A) a former ISIS guard for a beheading squad came to yookay illegally on a boat, obviously because of the ECHR/HRA he can't be jailed or deported, living freely;

B) SAS guys sent on missions to deal with ISIS beheaders were then arrested for MURDER for dealing with them; they were lied to by the military police; they have been told they can never be clear of the charges (because the ECHR/HRA means any time some lawyer like Jolyon or Hermer wants to team up with nutters on a ECHR case, the government will be forced to investigate again and remember Hermer's friend *invented* war crimes to bring cases against British soldiers, but obviously wasn't jailed, triples all round in the Inner Temple).

So we're importing the jihadis at scale while prosecuting for murder SAS we rely on to defend us from the jihadis - and if you don't like this you're fascist and it's a reason to ban X in yookay.

No you will not see Kemi-kasi campaign on these issues because the Tories agreed with Labour for 25 years that this combination is 'defending civilisation'. The Tories imported many of the jihadis now in the news, and the Tories approved all the worst officials and lawyers in SW1 bringing the lawfare cases, including against those who were given medals by the Queen for stopping IRA terrorist attacks - they now have to beg for cash for lawyers in their 70s/80s.

And because Reform is a bin fire which can't maintain focus on anything for 2 minutes -- like Kemi-kasi -- you probably won't see anything sustained from them either.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@Lord_Sugar No we weren’t. And I wish you would stop lying about us being lied to — either you know it’s not true or you are an innumerate idiot. And your reputation has been made on the latter not being true.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@KnightAngel45 @afneil Yes, but it was largely done with English money. An independent Scotland would run a massive deficit — if you think that this is not the case, then let’s abolish the Barnett Formula payments.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@cjsnowdon So Weber’s cure for potential far right gains is actual fascist economics.

OT, but can anyone name a single female economist who is not insane…?

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

Well, what a surprise. Although I had assumed that watching Owen get torn apart might be more entertaining…

[Christopher Snowdon @cjsnowdon]

I can't believe I wasted 18 minutes watching this. He's just an ignorant bloke with no expertise about anything. He doesn't even do a good job of lying his way out of the mistakes in his book.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@KnightAngel45 @afneil Oddly, that is one of the reasons that I voted Brexit. And we are, if not poorer, at least not very much richer — but that is down to our politicians being mendacious idiots. What are yours like…?

[Ramon Agusta @ramonagusta]

"the Russians swung the Brexit vote" 🤦‍♂️

#GrubbyBurnham

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@afneil Nice idea. But after this government’s “glorious” actions against Israel, I can’t see the Israeli government licensing Arrow 3 to us — can you…?

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

@andyp1ke @afneil The EU referendum was in the Tory Manifesto, you fool. Then rather than sticking around to see it through, as he promised, Brave Sir Cameron ran away.

[devilskitchen @devilskitchen]

Amazing. Just amazing.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Incredible. Congrats @elonmusk - this may be your finest creation. 👏

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

The UK Met Office has again been caught publishing temperatures from weather stations that don't exist.

An FOI revealed Lowestoft closed in 2010, yet the Met Office kept issuing official temperatures for it.

The office said they were using "well-correlated" neighboring stations, but the FOI revealed that this was a lie.

The numbers were actually coming from a model that was inventing data from 'phantom' neighboring stations.

When exposed, they quietly deleted years of readings for Lowestoft, as well as a number of other stations, and added a disclaimer saying their data is "for general interest only."

FOIs also show over one third of Met Office stations never existed, and that real high-quality sites like Colwood are ignored.

Also, more than 80% of the network is low-grade class 4 or 5, by WMO standards giving 2-5C uncertainty.

This is the foundation of the UK's climate record – closed stations, imaginary stations and synthetic temperatures. The Met Office isn't credible.

@StocksandDares Assume you mean “debt” (deficit is different). The answer is that they sort of do pay it off.
Government issues a 10 year bond for £1bn After a decade, the government issues a new bond for £1bn, which they use to pay off the old bond and “roll over” the debt.

[GBTT — Great British Think Tank @GreatBritishTT]

The ONS stopped measuring what a pound buys in different parts of Britain in 2016. So we rebuilt it from their own data. Same salary, 114 towns, every cost you cannot avoid.

The worst number: £1 in Camden buys what 4p buys in Hartlepool 🧵

@London_W4 @nealasher To be fair, 556,000 of those are the HR Department…
