Ex- Conservative voter. Reform Party gives us hope

“Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule—and both commonly succeed, and are right.”
Such a shame because the people are so upbeat, welcoming and seemed genuinely excited for change.
We tried our best to warn them about Andy and how he would trample all over Makerfield purely as a stepping stone. The people will unfortunately taste his dusty rubber sole for the foreseeable future as he’s not going to spend any sincere time there because he doesn’t give a damn about that place. Gutted for Makerfield as they’ve missed out on a foot soldier politician in @RobKenyonReform who would have been boots on the ground everyday with the people, for the people. We live and learn I suppose even if it’s the hard way! 🫡🇬🇧🏴
Labour has announced a 22% tax on the interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs.
So if you save up for your future, set up a business, work to send your kids to a better school or provide an inheritance, you’ll be hit with taxes.
Killing aspiration whilst increasing welfare.
Sadiq Khan should hang his head in shame.
He previously denied the existence of grooming gangs in London, yet a major investigation into grooming gangs in the capital has now been launched because of concern about the scale and seriousness of the issue… 😡
Andy Burnham is ALREADY moving to grant the Boriswave of millions of unskilled migrants lifetime access to our welfare state by scrapping Mahmood’s ILR reforms.
This will cost the British taxpayer billions.
He is going to be even worse than Starmer.
CALL A GENERAL ELECTION.
We are in a very dark place. The football World Cup is on & this council has spent tax payers money going to court to make it illegal to fly Our flag on Our streets.
Just so you know.
When Angry Andy Burnham became Mayor of Manchester, he promised to end rough sleeping.
Rough sleeping in Manchester has now actually doubled.
Just so you know.
Team Burnham pressed Keir Starmer to stay on over the summer to give their man time to prepare for power. Starmer rebuffed them in no uncertain manner: you’re forcing me out because you think I’m useless. So why should I wait til September at your convenience?
As I said on @TimesRadio yesterday, this is not an amicable handover.
Starmer was very badly prepared for power in July 2024. Burnham is considerably less well-prepared.
19 seconds in Southport laying a wreath, no tears.
No tears for British farmers who committed suicide.
No tears for pensioners.
No tears for betrayed British veterans.
No tears for the victims of illegal migration.
No tears for Henry Nowak.
Tears for himself only.
Sharia law has no place in modern society
It is the greatest threat to womens' rights in Britain & is used as a tool of oppression, victimisation & abuse
Our hypocritical politicians embraced "#MeToo", preach about women's rights & lecture British men about "toxic masculinity"...
whilst at the same time wilfully turning a blind eye to the rampant misogyny, oppression, sexual assault, domestic & honour based violence that exists within parts of the Muslim community - and which is enabled by some Sharia councils.
Sharia councils (which are completely unregulated) have condoned wife beating, told wives to reconcile with abusive husbands and dismissed the idea of "marital rape".
We live in an age of great leaps forward for humanity: Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, driverless cars, tourist trips to space etc. etc. It is preposterous that in such an advanced age, women's lives are still being ruled by medieval laws.
We are all equal under the law. One law for all. That principle must stand.
Why, then, is Britain the "Sharia capital" of the West? We have more Sharia councils than anyone else and British Muslims help set up Sharia councils in other Western countries.
60%-80% of Muslim marriages in the UK are Sharia only, with no civil registration (thus denying "wives" protection from English courts). This is the highest in the Western world.
Some morons will reply: "Sharia is voluntary and has no legal recognition or force in the UK".
Tell that to the Muslim women who are forced to go to Sharia councils and who are forced (by their religious leaders, their husbands, their families and their wider community) to accept the rulings - rulings made by ultra-conservative / extremist / Islamist men.
Many of these women aren't even aware that Sharia has no legal force or that English courts would come to a different ruling.
A party that does not pledge to tackle Sharia councils is a party that condones the oppression of women.
Me on @GBNews:
In his resignation speech, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer boasted that he protected British children from social media.
Someone needs to remind him that he was supposed to protect them from rape and sexual exploitation.
DEMOCRACY IS DEAD IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
A NEW PM IS TO BE ELECTED ON 24,000 VOTES.
NO-ONE KNOWS WHAT HE STANDS FOR.
Thanks to the People of Makerfield.
🚨 The video of two Sydney nurses threatening Jewish patients has been thrown out.
Not because the threats were found to be false.
Because the nurses allegedly didn’t know they were being recorded.
Read that again.
Here’s a completely insane statistic about the United Kingdom:
According to the Office for National Statistics, 53 per cent of households in Britain receive more in welfare than they pay in tax.
Just think about that and what it means.
