you don't spend decades paying national insurance just to be told your pension is a "benefit."
for millions of britons, it's deferred earnings, not charity.
do you agree? 👇🇬🇧
MEET JONATHAN REYNOLDS. THE MAN NOW IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE BRITISH ECONOMY.
This is the UK's new Business Secretary. He has never run a business. He has never even worked for one. 🤡
He knows absolutely nothing about risk taking, entrepreneurship, or meeting a payroll.
He has never had to hire staff, remortgage his house to provide working capital, or skip his own salary so his employees could have theirs!
In fact, he could not even manage to finish his basic training to become a solicitor. Yet the Westminster elite think he is qualified to dictate how British businesses are run!
How can we expect our economy to grow when the people running it have never spent a single day in the private sector? They are career politicians who have spent their entire lives living off the taxpayer.
RT if you are completely sick of clueless career politicians running our country into the ground! 🇬🇧🔥
Let me get this straight.
An unelected PM with no mandate.
A Deputy PM convicted of fraud.
A Housing Secretary who failed to pay tax.
An Education Secretary who called child exploitation a “dog whistle”.
And a Defence Secretary with no military experience !
Hold Tight ! 🤨
Starmer and Mahmood raced to tell us of 'far right terror' threat at a Muslim 'Ijtema event' in Suffolk. 'Islamophobia' they cried. All 'suspects' now released.
It feels like attempted diversion from the actual far left murder of Ann Widdecombe.
Our Government can't be trusted.
Strange how that came about, after it was stated that the murder of Ann Widdecombe was ‘not’ terror related, just before Counter Terrorism Police picked up the investigation, eh? 🤔 🤥
🚨NEW: At this time, the Met Police say they've found no evidence to support any of the 13 arrested being charged with any offences linked to the "far-right terror threat" to an Islamic festival in Suffolk
Keir Starmer & Andy Burnham spoke on the incident before an investigation
Sorry, what? In the aftermath of Ann Widdecombe’s murder much of the establishment tried to have us believe there was a “far-right terror threat” against Muslims in Suffolk when, in fact, the police just admitted there was no such threat at all?
🚨 THE WEST MIDLANDS REBELLION HAS BEGUN.
A devastating new poll from Electoral Calculus has just dropped, exposing a total political earthquake in the heartland of working-class Britain!
Labour is on course for an absolute, historic massacre in the West Midlands, projected to completely collapse from 23 seats down to just 7.
At the exact same time, Reform UK is set to sweep a staggering 14 seats directly from them, taking nearly half the entire region. 💷
Key working-class battlegrounds are turning completely turquoise as voters reject the establishment.
Reform is now projected to win Dudley with 33% of the vote, Tamworth with 32%, and Wolverhampton with 30%.
To make the humiliation even worse for the Labour elite, their potential next Chancellor, Shabana Mahmood, is projected to lose her own Birmingham Ladywood seat entirely. 🤡
The patriotic silent majority has completely seen through their lies, their open-border disasters, and their tax raids on working families.
Westminster thought they could take the working class for granted forever. They are about to find out the hard way.
RT if you stand with the West Midlands rebellion and demand a General Election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

Kemi doesn’t want an election because Kemi can’t win an election. The Tories would rather prop up Labour than take their case to the voters. Every day they tell us they’re the only ones with a serious plan to save Britain, yet they won’t even call for an election. Either they believe what they say or they don’t.
I despise Badenoch as much as I despise Starmer.
And I was a lifelong Conservative voter.
This proves to me the LabCon party are not fit to govern.
The vile attacks and disrespect from LabCon towards Reform is absolutely disgusting.
They are so done for.
Sadiq Khan wanted the House of Lords abolished.
Now he’ll happily take a seat there as Lord Khan.
What changed? Your principles, or your title? Isn’t being Mayor of London enough of a title for you? And will you now resign?
This is a shocker. A mother of three from Gaza who came to the UK as a refugee has just won a human rights challenge to bring in 18, yes18, of her relatives - both parents, a brother, his wife and four children, a sister and her four children and another sister, her husband and their three children.
None of them speak English and the mother only has room to house her parents with the rest taking up social housing away from British families.
Not to mention the the cost of the 18 filling our schools and NHS clinics.
Plus the signal it gives tens of thousands of Palestinian families that the UK courts are an easy touch and they should head here.
Another bloody awful and costly decision by our courts. Labour won’t do anything about it as they look on the people as Labour voters of the future.
POLITICS MADE SIMPLE #1
The reason the state pension has to rise to age 68 is because the Labour government has decided they would rather pay illegals to sit on their arses than you, after you’ve worked and paid in for half a century.
Hope that helps.
