Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

[Ben Habib @benhabib6]

Sky News suggesting Northern Ireland has a racism problem.

No, it does not. Stop distracting from the truth.

It has an open borders problem.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

It's 45 years to the day since Seb Coe set his British 800m record of 1:41.73 in Florence 🇬🇧

That mark still stands today and no British man outside of Coe has recorded a sub-1:42 mark over two laps 🏃

Coe's 1:41.73 in 1981 was a world record, which lasted for 16 years until Wilson Kipketer clocked 1:41.24 (an outright WR) in 1997 🌍

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

Rachel Reeves will reimburse British firms £5,000 per foreign worker in a bid to make the country more attractive

We have a million young people unemployed

Yet she will pay companies to hire foreigners over those young people

INSANE

[David Shaw @David90shaw]

🚨 Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits waking up right now to go to work and pay their taxes.
Just a quick reminder before you start your daily commute. You are paying the highest taxes in British history to a political establishment that actively despises you.
You are getting up early and working yourself to the bone to fund luxury hotels for illegal migrants, bloated green vanity projects, and a Labour government that is busy plotting how to surrender our borders back to the EU. They are using your hard earned money to fund the managed decline of your own nation. Do not let them normalize this. Have a great day, and retweet if you are absolutely sick of footing the bill! 🇬🇧☕️📉

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Nothing he says comes across as sincere. Nothing.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

🚨WOW. KEIR STARMER HAS BEEN FORCED TO ISSUE STATEMENT ON HENRY NOWAK.

He wouldn't do it himself so the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle has FORCED parliament to do it

SHAME ON THIS GOVERNMENT

You've had to be FORCED to do this

They truly are DESPICABLE

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

The mask has finally slipped.

Labour's own minister, Pat McFadden, has said it out loud: who can we tax to pay benefits to others?

That's what many suspected from day one.

Higher taxes. Less reward for work.

The game is up. This government is finished.

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

🚨 LABOUR ARE FINISHED

Mandelson file release…

Pat McFadden told Peter Mandelson that Labour MPs always ask
"who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others"

😮

[AW @AthleticsWeekly]

A huge win for Max Burgin at the Diamond League in Rabat.

The British runner front-runs his way to a 1:42.98 800m victory over Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi (1:43.56) with a world-class field trailing in his wake.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

I am beyond disgusted & disappointed in people who run sport who don’t think women & girls deserve an equal chance of success & opportunity

[Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Jenny_1884]

Found time to tweet about football but can’t find the time to tweet about Henry Nowak.

Sickening priorities.

What a sad & despicable man you are.

You have a son of similar age.

Shame on you.

[Don Keith @RealDonKeith]

🚨I cannot believe these cave trolls aren’t going to prison for what they did to those cops.

Court drops case despite video evidence.

Two-tier justice fuels public outrage.

Britain’s legal system is broken.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Apparently this video isn’t enough evidence to convict the guy in blue for assaulting all three police officers

Yet Lucy Connolly got two years in prison for an off colour tweet - prosecutions Keir Starmer encouraged

Labour’s two tier justice system has to end

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

On the left: British citizens who were arrested, processed and jailed within weeks over mean tweets.

On the right: Two thugs who savagely attacked officers in an airport with video evidence. No retrial. Still free to walk among us.

There is a sickness on this island.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

[Hannah @ehannah0]

Dear @Keir_Starmer

People can’t afford another £200 energy bill increase.

If you really wanted to make a change, you’d sack this lunatic before he bankrupts the country.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Utterly delusional. I can't decide what's worse: does Ed Miliband just openly lie to us or does he actually believe the nonsense he spouts?
