A starting right side partnership of Spence and Madueke is quite easily the worst I’ve ever seen in my lifetime
England are not a serious nation. 🏴
I am disappointed that Manchester United did not sign Mateus Fernandes, I am not upset that they did not spend £85m & £250k per week on him. If there is one thing I trust about the club, it is their recruitment.
Heaven, Dorgu, Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko, Lammens. I'm giving them a chance to prove what they can do with what they do next. The central midfielder market is deep, so let's find out what they can do.
Fernandes has been relegated in consecutive seasons. Cunha + Mbuemo signed for less than that last year, albeit Cunha had a release clause. £85m upfront is a MENTAL fee.
United are right to walk away and shop elsewhere. #MUFC
Imagine a parent who spends far more than they earn every single month. FAR more.
Instead of cutting back, they keep borrowing. For a while, life is comfortable for the family. Nobody minds, the times are good. But the credit cards go up. The loans get bigger. The interest keeps mounting. It gets worse and worse. The interest payments soon outweigh the food costs, the energy bill, the mortgage.
It becomes unmanageable. The family’s income cannot cover it. It grows and grows and grows.
The parent retires - doesn’t want to work, but wants the easy life to continue. The burden is left with the children who had no say in how the debt was accumulated in the first place. They’re left to pay the interest every month. Life is hard, and getting harder. The payments are crushing, and so vast the idea of ever repaying the actual debt feels impossible.
Their entire financial existence is treading water in an attempt to manage the interest payments, all for decisions they did not take.
Not an acceptable situation, is it?
Clearly not.
That is exactly what my generation has done to Britain's young men and women.
In 2025/26 the government spent roughly £110 billion on debt interest. That’s 3.6% of GDP and 8.1% of total public spending. Almost double the defence budget.
Think about that for a minute.
It is INSANE.
Think about how many taxpayers are working to simply service that debt. Not to fund public services or to build infrastructure, or to look after those in need, but to pay debt interest.
To fund awful decisions.
That is Britain in 2026. 30 years of easy, lazy and selfish decisions.
We've borrowed hundreds of billions of pounds to avoid making hard choices. The debt grew, the interest payments soared. We've expanded the fat state, lived so far beyond our means and convinced ourselves someone else would eventually pay for it.
That someone else is our children. Their children. Our grandchildren.
They are expected to buy homes we made unaffordable, pay taxes we’ve allowed to soar and work to service a national debt we accumulated.
Somehow survive the inflation that we have stoked and stoked with endless money printing and the growth of the parasitic state.
We should have left them a country with affordable homes, low debt, cheap energy, growing industries and money in the bank. We should have left them a home built on solid foundations.
As a country, we have failed.
Restore Britain is prepared to do what responsible parents do, to do what that parent should have done to begin with. Stop spending money we don't have.
Brutally cut back, live within our means and then some. Pay off the debt. Make the difficult choices. Not for us, but for them.
Does that approach make for easy decisions today? No. Does it win many votes? Probably not.
But it is the only way to restore fairness, responsibility and economic sanity.
Because I don’t know how else to put this.
The country is BROKE. Britain is bankrupt, and my generation bankrupt it. Zero point denying it.
And let me be clear about one thing.
The economy, and the country, is teetering on the edge of a very high, a very jagged and a very dangerous cliff.
Complete and total economic collapse awaits.
But the only good news is that there is finally a political party with the courage and the honesty to do something about it for our children and our grandchildren - to start the rebuild, the repair, the restoration.
Restore Britain.
And if you don't like the sound of those difficult decisions, then don't vote for us.
An anytime return ticket from London to Manchester can cost more than a return flight to Spain
The UK has some of the highest rail fares in Europe, yet the trains are routinely delayed, cancelled, or so packed you have to stand in the aisle
You are paying luxury travel prices for a third-world commuting experience
Make it make sense
Your Council Tax bill goes up by the maximum 4.99% every single year
Meanwhile, your local library is closed, the potholes are craters, & your bins are collected half as often
You are paying a premium for services that were quietly discontinued five years ago
It is no longer a tax for local services; it is a bailout for bankrupt local authorities
Capital gains taxes make no sense & shouldn't exist
I invest my capital. I create the opportunity. I take the risk. I do the work. I take the chances. I accept the losses if things go wrong
So why should the government collect a slice when things go right?
They didn’t take the risk. They didn’t build the business. They just take
The UK State Pension: £12,500/year for a lifetime of work
An illegal migrant: £41,000/year to the taxpayer
We are spending over THREE TIMES more on unvetted arrivals than on the seniors who built this country
The math just doesn't add up
Not sure if the England manager is Thomas Tuchel or Ruben Amorim. The agenda against Kobbie Mainoo is mind boggling.
The fact that Henderson got minutes in this tournament ahead of him is unforgivable. Elliot Anderson has not been untouchable, some really average showings too.
This is like leaving a Galaxy Ripple out in 38 degrees sun yesterday and being surprised when it's melted down to a squishy mess.
WE COULD ALL SEE IT COMING, THOMAS!
