The same Lewis Hamilton who used a corporate leasing structure to save money on taxes (around £3.3 million in VAT) when acquiring his Bombardier Challenger 605 private jet in 2013? The same Lewis Hamilton who bought the £16.5 million jet through his British Virgin Islands company (Stealth Aviation Ltd) and who then set up an Isle of Man leasing company (Stealth (IOM) Ltd, to import it into the EU and sub-leased it to a UK jet management firm (TAG Aviation), which in turn provided it back to Hamilton and his Guernsey company under charter agreements? *That* Lewis Hamilton?

Very good point raised by @ZiaYusufUK

The culprits who attacked officers in Southampton have been sentenced one week later. One for 2 years & 4 months.

When BLM activists threw the Colston statue in the river. Nobody went to prison.

This is two-tier justice we’re angry about.

I have formally referred South Wales Police to the equalities watchdog.

Their guidance amounts to a blasphemy law against Islam and has no basis in law.

We cannot put one religion on a pedestal above others.

We should all be equal before the law.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

David Lammy is an absolute humiliation.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, appeared on Piers Morgan’s show and said what too many politicians are afraid to say.

She stated clearly that jihadists are members of a death cult. Their goal is to murder and to die as human sacrifices for Allah. They are not allies of Britain — and no amount of appeasement from Keir Starmer will ever change that.

🚨 Astonishingly, the heads of the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s (GMFRS) ‘race and faith’ network have sent an email to firefighters, targeting staff members standing as candidates for Reform UK.

The email stated these individuals were "spoken to" and that management is seeking "legal guidance" to protect their "inclusive culture."

Sending an anti-Reform UK political broadcast on public systems during a regulated election period is a shocking breach of electoral neutrality and is unlawful.

Firefighters have every legal right to stand for election.

Hounding staff for lawful political views is unacceptable and is proof of the exact perception that anyone questioning an aggressive DEI agenda will be chased out of their job.

I have written to Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel demanding answers.

Petch and Ahmed - the network heads responsible - appear to have committed gross misconduct and should be dismissed.

GMFRS must apologize to Reform UK and the affected staff.

We have given GMFRS until Wednesday to answer 8 specific demands, including providing transcripts of what was said to our candidates and explaining why these network heads are permitted to weaponize IT systems.

I am also calling on HMICFRS (@HMICFRS) and the Electoral Commission (@ElectoralCommUK) to urgently investigate this unlawful breach.

This is a man-made tragedy all down to energy policies that have pushed prices higher in search of a carbon ambition at home and simply pushing businesses to the wall.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Very chilling authoritarian move by Andy Burnham.

He commanded Senior figures at Manchester's Fire & Rescue Service to have words with Firefighters who support Reform UK, saying it was a cause for 'concern'.

Make no mistake about it, Andy as PM will be a threat to free speech.

[Lembit Öpik @lembitopik]

Labour Minister David Lammy made the ludicrous statement: “equality doesn’t mean treating everyone the same.” Such a stupid man shouldn’t be in politics

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.

In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.

Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.

In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.

’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.

’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.

‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’

They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.

In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.

Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.

The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.

’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.

’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.

‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

🚨🇬🇧 La policía ignoró a los inmigrantes que acosaban a una mujer en su casa y luego la amenazó con arrestarla por "odio racial" si denunciaba los hechos. Ahora, el hombre que lo expuso está esposado.

Una mujer fue acosada en su casa por inmigrantes. Acudió a la policía, pero no hicieron nada.

Cuando dijo que acudiría a la prensa, la amenazaron con arrestarla por "incitar al odio racial".

Un periodista ciudadano @ActivePatriotUK publicó información al respecto y fue arrestado por "comunicación maliciosa".

Lo retuvieron hasta las 11 de la noche, le confiscaron el teléfono y lo pusieron en libertad bajo fianza durante 3 meses con condiciones estrictas que no puede mencionar.

Esta es la realidad del Reino Unido hoy.

Keir Starmer refuses to ban ceremonial knives.

He will however ban your 15 year old from logging onto 𝕏.

Make it make sense.

[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.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

Rachel Reeves has put taxes *up*, and ended up actually raising *less* money.

How has she managed that?!

It turns out that when you punish people for taking risks, hiring people, or working hard, they're less likely to do those things. Who could have guessed?

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

South Wales Police has instructed officers to log comments they feel are beyond "legitimate" criticism of Islam.

This is, exactly as I warned, a blasphemy law through the back door.

Nobody voted for this.
