An Arab Christian living inside Israel โ not a Western think-tank analyst, not a commentator at a safe remove โ is delivering a message the West urgently needs to hear. He has watched Iran build and command a hub-and-spoke terror empire: Hโzbollah on Israelโs northern border, Hโmas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Ansar Allah in Iraq. ๐๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ญ: ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฌ.
He called out Iranโs foreign minister directly on a documented lie. Speaking on NBC, Iranโs FM stated the regime doesnโt need missiles beyond a 2,000-kilometer range โ because, he said, Iran has no enemies at that distance.

For years I've not been vocal enough about the UK and immigration over fears of being arrested.
But now, I've changed my mind.
Immigration, legal and illegal, is the number one threat to the United Kingdom.
After what happened in Belfast yesterday, I am happy to go to jail for speaking up about it.
With over 2 million followers, there is a serious risk I could be arrested for saying what I'm about to say but I do not care.
Every single immigrant to the UK must be deported, if they are not a net positive on our country.
Keir Starmer must immediately release the nationality and details of this terrorist, who tried beheading a man.
Time and time again, almost every week, a tragic terrorist attack is brushed under the rug because it's carried out by an immigrant.
Whether it's foolish religious rights allowing Henry Nowak to bleed to death, Axel Rudakubana massacring young girls and being given free reign in prison or now this tragedy in Belfast.
If you don't speak English, you must go.
If you don't like our country, you must go.
If million must go, then millions must go.
The only fix is mass deportations, and I do not care about the consequences of saying that.
Britain has never been more dangerous, and the real numbers of foreigners in this country are far beyond what we believe.
If I am not in prison, I will be running in the next general election and will be at the forefront of trying to save our United Kingdom.
I hope to run alongside @RupertLowe10 and @RestoreBritain if you will allow me.
May God Save our once Great Nation.
Starting and running a business in Britain in 2026 - letโs go through it, step by stepโฆ
You've got a good idea. You've worked hard, saved some money, and decided to take a risk. A big decision. Let's say you want to open a coffee shop - nothing overly extravagant. Surely this is possible, right?
Available unit on a local high street, you see a gap in the market.
A simple ambition to build something. Create jobs. Generate wealth. Contribute to your local community. Maybe even build a better future for your family.
Exactly the sort of person politicians claim they admire.
Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong country to do it in.
Britain. 2026. Labour. Bugger.
The first thing you discover is that absolutely nothing is straightforward.
You register the business. Not impossible, but hardly simple. The foreign vape shop owners manage it, so why not you? Done. In fairness, not the most challenging part of this story...
Then comes the bank account - youโd think opening a business account would be a routine matter.
Instead, you're treated like a criminal. You want to sell coffee, not arms. The banks are simply out of control in this country. Just like the lawyers, but thatโs a different story.
Legitimate entrepreneurs should not be waiting weeks while faceless compliance departments shuffle paperwork between themselves and refuse to answer questions - slash it all back and let people just get on with it.
Eventually you get through that hurdle and secure the premises.
Perfect location. Lots of footfall. Not a total dump. It can work.
Then reality arrives.
The rent is eye-watering - contracts have clause after clause after clause. How can anybody understand it all?
Insurance is through the roof. And before you've served a single coffee, the local authority is already getting its grubby hands on your money. Energy costs are so very painful...
Business rates - one of the most destructive taxes in Britain. And for what? What do we get from that money?
You are effectively punished for occupying premises and creating economic activity. For PAYING TAX. It is insane. A Restore Britain Government would abolish business rates entirely for small high street businesses. Pubs, cafes, bakeries. All of it. No business rates.
Then come the inspections. Oh joy. The paperwork. The bureaucracy. The council gnomes.
Nobody objects to basic standards. Of course cafes should be clean and safe.
The problem is that too much of the system now exists to justify the existence of regulators rather than help businesses succeed. They are there to prove that their job needs to exist. So rules get put on rules, on top of more rules. It is endless.
Many of the people enforcing these rules have never built a business, never employed anybody and never risked their own money. Never done anything. Work half weeks, with 30+ days holiday a year. Fridays at home, of course.
A profession filled with nit-picking gits.
Restore Britain would conduct a full bonfire of unnecessary regulations and introduce a simple principle. Every regulation should have to justify its existence - if it doesn't prevent genuine harm, it goes. It will be glorious. We will tear it all down.
But letโs say you get through this. You stumble on. The cafe opens, and goes well. People like it. It grows. The coffee is good. You need help. Another bureaucratic nightmare.
PAYE. National Insurance. Pensions. Employment contracts. Holiday entitlement. Workplace policies. Health and safety obligations.
The worst of all - HR.
You look at it all, and just think whatโs the point? Is it worth the risk? That is a disaster for our economy, and a disaster for youngsters looking for work.
Restore Britain would slash back employer National Insurance, simplify employment law for small firms and create a framework that protects good employees without treating every employer as a potential criminal.
The HR-ification of Britain will end. If I had to pick a 'profession' I hate the most, HR has to be number one.
Employers will be able to sack employees for not doing the job properly.
It doesnโt matter if theyโre black, gay, Muslim or whatever else. This โprotected characteristicโ nonsense will be stripped away. The only protected characteristic weโre interested in is competence.
We will repeal The Equality Act 2010. This is key. This is where so much of the bullshit emanates from.
But letโs say you donโt want to bother. Maybe bringing in contracting services could work. Wrong.
IR35 - one of the most economically illiterate policies ever introduced by thick idiots in the civil service who have never created a job in their lives.
Restore Britain would scrap IR35 entirely - if two consenting adults wish to enter a genuine contracting arrangement, the state should keep its nose out. Who does what, when and for who is between those two individuals. IR35 is the first thing to go. Burn it and bury it.
But we do want apprenticeships. This is the way forward, and we would give companies tax breaks for developing and building local skills for young men and women. Crucial. Iโve been running an apprenticeship campaign in Great Yarmouth - looking to link local businesses with colleges. Progress made, but lots more to do.
As your business grows, your accountant becomes indispensable. Not because your accounting is particularly complicated or heโs a good bloke, but because the tax system has become absurdly complex. I used to do my own returns. No chance now.
Restore Britain would begin simplifying the tax code from top to bottom.
Tax should be low, simple and transparent. Thatโs what Restore Britain stands for.
Then comes one of the most notorious barriers in British business.
The VAT threshold.
You finally start making progress, and your turnover approaches the threshold.
Looks good on the face of it, but itโs actually horrific news - cross the line and suddenly everything changes. VAT is applied. What are you supposed to do? Pass the cost on to customers? What are they going to do when the cost of their morning order shoots up? Many firms deliberately limit growth because crossing the threshold creates such a financial shock. That is insanity.
Restore Britain would double the VAT threshold.
Growth should be rewarded, and we would do exactly that.
Somehow, youโre limping on and decide an expansion is needed - maybe a covered outdoor area letโs say. Add more seating. People like to eat outside. Surely this is straightforward?
Planning. The worst people on the planet, whose sole aim is to destroy economic ambition, growth and hope. I detest them all so very much.
Restore Britain would overhaul the system with a presumption in favour of economic development. If planners cannot make a decision within a fixed timeframe, approval should be automatic. We will not keep businesses waiting for months and months. It is simply unacceptable and unfair.
Same for licences to stay open later, host music, even god forbid serve alcohol - the bureaucratโs nightmare. We wouldnโt want people enjoying themselves, would we?
Restore Britain would introduce another presumption backing small business activity unless there is a compelling reason to refuse it. If customers want to enjoy a drink later on with their friends, letโs make it happen - the burden should be on the regulator to justify their restrictions, not on the entrepreneur to justify growth. Again, letโs give them a time frame to object. If they canโt, it goes through. Job done.
That is what Restore Britain will deliver.
Then there are card payments. Every coffee, sandwich, bottle of water. People just are not using cash. So a small slice disappears off everything, but that turns into thousands. Restore Britain would review payment processing fees and increase competition in the sector.
We must reduce the cost of doing business. This is vital.
We come to HMRC. I hate these people so much. Itโs far quicker for a benefits claimant to get hold of the DWP than it is for small business owners to speak to HMRC.
How mad is that?
Restore Britain would introduce meaningful accountability when HMRC gets things wrong, or simply doesnโt pick up the phone. Letโs link senior leadership pay to response times. That will get them jumping.
When you pay the tax, and sign it all off? The anger I feel when I think about where that money goes is not a positive experience. Funding hotel fry ups for Afghan men who have broken into our country. Restore Britain would indiscriminately deport the illegals, as you know, but this is a post about starting a businessโฆ
Back to HMRC. They whack me with tax inspection after tax inspection. I wonder whyโฆ
Awful people. If I ever get a sniff of power, I will tear that place apart limb by limb.
Then comes the final insult. The salt in the wound. The knife in the back.
You want to pay yourself. You've worked sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. You've risked everything.
You've missed weekends, holidays and family events.
You have carried all the risk.
The wife or husband is constantly pissed off because the phone doesnโt stop ringing.
Now perhaps you'd like some reward. Letโs look at whatโs left...
Corporation tax takes a slice. Dividend tax takes another. Student loan repayments take more. National Insurance takes more. Income tax takes more. Whatโs left?
By the end of it, government has its sticky fingers in your pocket at every stage.
Restore Britain would establish the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe.
We would increase dividend allowances. Slash NI. Cut back income tax. Scrap interest on student loans.
In short - reward your hard work.
Entrepreneurs all over Britain are asking this question...
Why not take a comfortable public sector job, collect the salary, enjoy the pension, work from home, avoid the stress and leave somebody else to create the wealth? Why bother? What's the point?
If enough ambitious people think that, the economy stops functioning. We become even more reliant on the fat, bloated, squid like state.
Politicians in Westminster DO NOT understand what they are doing to businesses in Britain.
I listen to them talk about business and my ears bleed - you do not understand just how thick some of these people are. However bad you imagine, double it. Youโre half way there.
It is time for a different sort of politics, a different type of politician.
Restore Britain will make Britain the easiest country in Europe to start, grow and succeed with your own business.
To our cafe owner, wondering if all the endless bullshit is worth it? My message is thisโฆ
Keep going. It will get better. Britain needs you.
There is good news - there is finally a political party on your side.
Restore Britain.

IRAN WAR UPDATE & WHY THE PRICE OF OIL KEEPS DROPPING
The media has not been covering this.
According to the U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND, approximately 1,000 commercial vessels have crossed through the Strait of Hormuz in the last two months.
Iran has not been able to do anything about it. And commercial traffic through the Strait is slowly increasing.
Meanwhile, the U.S. blockade on Iran's use Strait of Hormuz is costing the Iran Regime $500 MILLION per day. The Regime's entire annual budget is about $56 BILLION. The Regime can no longer pay its soldiers or security police.
Mass protests against the Regime are now starting up again in cities across Iran, as the people are now sensing the Regime can's do much about this.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced that the $24 BILLION in Iranian assets that we have frozen will be used to reimburse and compensate countries in the region Iran keeps hitting with its missiles and drones.
The damage Iran has done to airports, power grids, buildings, and infrastructure, as well as casualties inflicted by Iran in the region, will be billed to Iran's account.
Iran has been saying any deal Iran strikes with the U.S. hinges on the U.S. unfreezing $24 BILLION in Iran assets.
Welp, so much for that idea. This $24 BILLION will be used to compensate Iran's victims in the region.
There is no reason for the U.S. to negotiate anymore with Iran's Regime.
It's quite cheap for the U.S. Navy to keep patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, escorting ships in and out. Our Navy has to be somewhere. Might as well be there, conducting occasional target practice on whatever is left of Iran's military capabilities.
No one fears the Iran Regime anymore. It's proven itself to be a toothless tiger.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Arab World has joined with the United States and Israel in an alliance against the Iran Regime, which is now completely isolated.
That's pretty amazing. Thanks to President Trump, the rest of the Arab world is now allied with Israel.
Who would have thought that possible?
We should allow Israel to do whatever it wants to do to the Iran Regime. We should also continue arming the Kurds and pro-freedom groups inside Iran.
When Epic Fury started, the prediction was that oil would rise above $200 per barrel.
This has not happened. Oil is around $90 a barrel and will continue to drop.
The reason we have not seen anything close to $200 a barrel is the United States has ramped up its oil production.
Thanks to President Trump, the United States is a net oil and energy exporter.
With Trump's arrest of Venezuela's Communist dictator Nicolas Maduro, the United States also now has an oil production partnership with the new government of Venezuela, which as the world's largest oil reserves.
Oil production by Venezuela will only continue to increase.
Trump has also chased China out of Panama. China is no longer running the Panama Canal. We are.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait are increasing their pipeline capacity to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, further rendering Iran irrelevant.
Only about 20% of Iran's people are practicing Muslims. The strange theocratic ideology that has been imposed on the Iranian people for 47 years is an alien minority force.
We can just continue to watch the Iran Regime implode financially under this economic pressure we've imposed.
Eventually, the IRGC leadership and Mullahs will receive the Gaddafi treatment.
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Whereโs the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now itโs closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher, 31, from Virginia Water, Surrey. Britainโs only serving female Royal Navy Commando.
Killed in training on 3 June 2026 when a Merlin Mk4 from 846 Naval Air Squadron crashed at Sourton Down, Devon.
The career arc was extraordinary. An MSc in Geology from Imperial College London in 2016. Junior international representative for England in lacrosse and pole vault. Two years as a geologist with British Petroleum before commissioning in 2019 into the Royal Navy.
During a break in flying training she completed the 16 week All Arms Commando Course, earning the green beret as one of only seven women in British military history to do so, and becoming the UKโs only serving female Royal Navy Commando.
She was killed on her final assessment of flying training. Her Pilotโs Wings were to be awarded in June 2026. She died alongside Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson, 42, and Petty Officer Owen Green, 24.
๐จ I TOLD YOU! The trap is being sprung right in front of our eyes, and the Westminster establishment is in on the game. Brussels is slapping a devastating 47 percent tariff-free cut on British steel to intentionally crush our manufacturing. But why?
Because this is their entire master plan. The EU is going to squeeze our economy until Starmer and his team can run to the cameras, throw their hands up, and tell the public: "We have no choice but to drop our red lines and rejoin the single market."
It is a coordinated economic hostage situation designed to force our surrender. We called this exact plot days ago. Do not let them gaslight you. Retweet this everywhere! ๐ฌ๐ง๐

As if I wasn't already entirely pissed off with the police already, I had the most insane interaction with 2 bully-boy coppers this morning.
I dropped home an elderly little old lady, who was taking some time gathering her things and trying to get out of the car. I was on double yellows, but had my hazards on - as I am allowed to do as per the council rules. When a police car came up behind me, and then drove around me to be window level, to tell me that, despite clearly being able to pass me, as he literally was, I was illegally parked and causing an obstruction, and I needed to park on the kerb.
I told him I wasn't parked a) at all, as I was offloading an elderly lady and b) wasn'tstopped illegaly, and I wouldn't be moving on to the kerb because that *would* be illegal as I would then be obstructing the pathway, whereas, I was legally allowed to drop of and pick up, on double yellows. He told me he would arrest me. I told him to try it. He then drove off - proving I wasn't obstructing traffic.
I finished helping the old lady and drove off.
The officers were waiting for me around the corner, put on their lights, pulled me over and demanded to see my licence and insurance before lecturing me about my attitude and demanded I show them some respect.
They could have waited patiently like most people do, or they could have gone around me as they eventually did. Instead they threatened to arrest me for laws I wasn't breaking, simply because they didn't know the law, and then tried to intimidate me afterwards because they realised they were totally wrong about the law, and we're too immature to apologise. They were fully prepared to try and make me loose my job and my lifelong out of nothing but pure spite, ego and vengeance because they made themselves look stupid.
None of that had to happen. Luckily I filmed the entire thing. Utterly disgusting behaviour. This inherent arrogance in the police has to stop.
