Let's have a look at the Prime Ministers who left number 10 early over the last 10 years.

🐀David Cameron left because he didn't want to implement what the nation had just decided, despite promising he would.

🤥Teresa May left because she pretended she was going to implement what the nation decided in 2016, did her best not to, but got found out.

🔪Boris Johnson was kicked out because the Establishment feared he was going to implement what the nation decided in 2016, and had their man in No. 11 stab him in the back.

💷Liz Truss was kicked out because the Establishment didn't want her, and she was trying to implement economic policies the Establishment didn't want.

⏰️Rishi Sunak went to the country early because there was a danger Reform would win a later election and implement what the nation had decided in 2016 but the Establishment didn't want.

⚖️Keir Starmer is about to be kicked out because he was defeated by the party still trying to inplement what the nation decided in 2016.

I'm sure there is a lesson in there somewhere, for the next Prime Minister, if they want last longer than the last six.

@BBCPolitics In my life, I …
• am aware if friends have convictions
• hear rumours that I check the veracity of
• have people who warn of unhealthy relationships
• am responsible for exercising good moral judgement

But if you're rich and well connected in the establishment…

@gregsmith_uk @gregsmith_uk So how did that go?

Every week I read posts of Facebook about how great things were in the 60s and 70s. Here's what income tax rates were in 1972: when tax was cut to 20% we weren't facing a mental health crisis, a SEND crisis and Russian aggression... tax will have to rise and Reeves did the minimum today

Lammy used to campaign against the removal of jury trials.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Juries have been the last line of defence against the authoritarian cancel mob.

When our members have found themselves charged with criminal offences for speaking out, juries have reliably said no dice to overzealous prosecutors. This has infuriated the CPS and the activists who make malicious complaints.

One was Jamie Michael, a decorated Royal Marines veteran, who was charged with inciting racial hatred after a Labour staffer reported him to the police for a video he posted on Facebook. Jamie spent 20 days in prison on remand. A jury took just 17 minutes to clear him. The local Labour Party were said to be furious.

Now David Lammy wants to scrap juries and give judges — who are required to follow DEI policies — the sole power to convict and jail Brits for up to 5 years for online posts.

This move is about power, not saving costs. Nothing in our present national situation warrants abandoning an 800-year-old right: that in a court of law, your peers decide if you're guilty, not the state.

We will fight any such proposal with everything we’ve got.

If all her BBC journalist colleagues were doing a fine job, according to her, why did she resign?

[Deborah Turness @deborahturness]

Thanks and congrats to everyone for the incredibly valuable conversations at today’s Trust In News conference. Trust is earned and we will earn it through greater transparency in our journalism. I’m so proud of the work we are doing at the BBC on this!

I cannot believe that it is up to the Lords to stop this mad giveaway. A powerful explanation, worth watching. https://t.co/qTrCbyMDf0 via @YouTube

Our only hope against a malevolent government: incompetence.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

Knowing what I know about Government IT, it is highly unlikely that this terrible, authoritarian scheme will be implemented by 2029.

By then, Starmer will have been kicked out of office, and it can be junked.

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

What on earth is he talking about?

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Real patriots build their communities up; they don't pull them apart.

You can't claim to love our country and then go out and talk it down.

In every town and city, there are people helping their neighbours and making things better – I'm on their side.

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 @goldsbrough]

Yes. Surprising that this has to be asked.

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 @goldsbrough]

Yes

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

This is the fairest assessment of the Unite the Kingdom rally.

Sir Trevor Phillips went and saw normal, decent folk, a diverse crowd and hymns being sung. Those tarring it as “far-right” are projecting their own bigotry.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, hammer the disabled with welfare cuts, add inheritance tax to family farms and family businesses causing thousands of them to close, his deputy prime minister dodging £40,000 in tax, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius at a cost of £35bn, spaff £30bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, 50,000 small boat crossings in one year, create a new £50bn economic black hole, increase the overall tax burden to record levels, destroy business growth with national insurance rises resulting in over 200,000 job losses, get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.
