🚨 BREAKING: It has been revealed that the public consultation data Keir Starmer is using to promote his social media ban did NOT have an ‘against’ option

[David Shaw @David90shaw]

🚨 A "BIG MOMENT FOR OUR COUNTRY."

Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits waking up to a new digital prison.

Keir Starmer has just officially announced his blanket ban on social media for teenagers!

He literally stood at a podium, rambled on about his childhood in the 1970s, and claimed he is doing this to keep your kids safe. 🤡

You honestly have to laugh at the sheer delusion.

He completely refuses to protect our actual streets from violent criminals, but he is completely obsessed with policing your family's phones.

Do not be fooled for a single second!

To enforce this ban, every single adult in Britain will now be forced to upload a passport or digital ID just to browse the web!

This is not about child safety. It is a massive Trojan horse for total state surveillance.

RT if you see right through this scam and refuse to let the Labour elite control us! 🇬🇧🔥

🚨 THE GOVERNMENT WANTS A WINDOW INTO YOUR PRIVATE LIFE

This isn't about monitoring criminals.

It's about monitoring everyone.

The proposal would reportedly require technology companies to build systems that examine photos, videos and messages directly on your device before encryption protects them.

In simple English:

Your phone checks your content.

The system decides if it should be flagged.

Only then is it allowed to leave your device.

Today they say it's about protecting children.

Tomorrow it could be "misinformation."

The day after that?

Who knows.

The infrastructure is the real story.

Because once it's built, it can be used for anything.

So in the blink of an eye, an attempted beheading by a migrant has been turned into a clampdown on freedom of speech by the Labour government. Everything Starmer does is designed to enforce an agenda that no one voted for. As always with him, it’s smoke and mirrors deflection.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

MPs who go on social media should not turn off replies. They are public employees.

In a field near Wicken, Cambridgeshire larkspur is grown for London florists along with cornflowers & Nigella. It’s quite a sight just now-some floral dopamine for you 🌿:

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

Since Andy Burnham wants to be the next Labour leader, here’s a reminder:

Andy accused victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs of trying to “propagandise” the issue.

He tried to block the grooming gangs inquiry in Manchester and nationally.

He claimed that Pakistani-Muslims grooming gangs are a “thing of the past” despite clear evidence that little girls are still being victimised to this day, including in his local area.

And what does he call the LITTLE GIRLS who were raped under his watch?

Not children.
Not little girls.

“Young women.”

Even on the most basic level, Burnham tried to shift the blame onto victims and refused to acknowledge that they were children.

Countless little girls were raped, exploited and even murdered by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, while powerful men like him turned a blind eye.

Andy Burnham belongs in prison, not Parliament.

And certainly not in 10 Downing Street.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

NHS OFFERED A MAN £41,000 TO FORGET 90 PEOPLE DIED

Paul Calvert was a former police officer working as a coroner's officer for North East Ambulance Service. His job was to prepare reports on patient deaths for coroner inquests.

What he found instead was a systematic cover-up. Paramedic errors linked to more than 90 patient deaths. Evidence withheld from coroners. Families lied to. Bereaved people who never got the truth about how their loved ones died.

He went to The Sunday Times in May 2022. The story exploded. @BBCNewsnight, @BBCNews at Six, BBC Sounds. The country watched. NEAS panicked.

Their response?

A £41,000 offer, on the condition he stayed silent and handed over his evidence.

He called it a "bribe to shut up and go away." He refused to take it. He also refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

MP Grahame Morris @grahamemorris raised his case in the Commons and described it as: bullying, harassment, blackmail.

After that Calvert was signed off sick for 17 months with depression and anxiety. Then sacked in December 2022 for what NEAS called an "irretrievable breakdown of trust."

The man who wouldn't accept a bribe to cover up 90 deaths was fired for failing to return to work at the organisation that tried to bribe him.

Makes perfect sense, when you think about it from the perspective of an institution trying to save its own skin.

The Information Commissioner's Office @ICOnews later had to force NEAS to publish a suppressed internal report it had been sitting on since 2020.

The Trust's medical director and safety director both resigned. Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced a new independent review.

Calvert described it as "empty rhetoric" and demanded a full public inquiry with compelled evidence.

He never got one. The review that did eventually take place, led in 2023 by NHS insider Marianne Griffiths, was so limited in scope that Calvert refused to participate on principle. It spoke to four families.

Four, out of ninety-plus deaths.

This is what institutional accountability looks like in the NHS. Not justice. Not transparency. A suppressed report, a bribery attempt, a sacking, and a review designed to speak to the minimum number of people necessary to call it a review.

Paul Calvert lost his career for doing his job correctly. The people who tried to buy his silence have moved on.

Burnham’s buddy, Daren Whitaker, who received 700 yes, £ 700 million from Burnham to rebuild Manchester has now decamped to Monaco.

And pays UK HMRC ?

0% TAX

And people want to vote Burnham PM??

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

So let's get this straight... two sitting black councillors are deselected in Croydon. The Party's bureaucrats enforce a mandatory shortlist... and the result is KEIR STARMER'S MID-20s NIECE gets picked to stand for the 2nd safest ward?

She might be very smart and capable, and might eventually be a credit to the role, but this sort of mad top-down management invites scepticism. If I was a local resident, I'd be pretty miffed.

Call me cynical but dubious timing for this loving family man stunt, just as the Ukrainian rent boy trail starts! It’s also deeply cringe worthy and fooling no one

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

There are just 27 bars and restaurants that serve taxpayer funded subsidised alcohol in the UK.

Every single one is in Westminster and you can't visit them without an MP's pass.

They are are partying like it is 1626.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The UK is a place where they 'can't afford to feed school children for free'.

But will pay £7m a year to subsidise 650 millionaire MP's food.

Enough to feed 14,000 schoolchildren for a year.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Morgan McSweeney asked:

‘Why, when you reported your phone as ‘stolen’, did you not tell police you were No 10 Chief of Staff?’

His extraordinary answer:

‘The other staff (under me) in No10 didn’t tell me to tell the police of my position’

These people think we are thick.

[Dave @DaveKent101]

The Judge ruling on the Keir Starmer rent boys case is Sir Neil Garnham.

He acted for the Met Police at the Levenson Inquiry.

He acted for the government over Litvinenko case.

Is this judge neutral and impartial?🤔
