@AshleyDalton_MP To where?

@models_by_Russ Stupid is as stupid does! Smoke and mirrors to deflect from other problems they don't know how to tackle. Does not take a genius to know it won't work!

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

Let’s talk about the genius plan to ban social media for under-18s!

First, the facts: The UK Government already wants a ban for under-16s under the Online Safety Act. Now the Children’s Commissioner says 16 is still too young — so let’s raise it to 18, obviously! Because until that exact birthday, young people are apparently too helpless to tell a meme from misinformation.

But let’s stop pretending this is about “protection.” It looks far more like a convenient way to keep things simple for those in charge. If kids can’t get online, where do they learn? From school lessons and official stories — exactly the controlled narrative the powers-that-be prefer. Heaven forbid they see unfiltered footage, different opinions, or the messy reality of the world! We can’t have them questioning what they’re told, can we?

The logic is comedy gold: “We’re worried they’ll see bad stuff… so instead of teaching them how to spot lies, think critically, and stay safe, we’ll just ban it entirely!” That’s like banning cars because there are accidents, or books because some contain difficult ideas. Lazy, patronising, and completely missing the point.

And let’s be honest — it won’t work. Young people are far smarter than these politicians give them credit for. They’ll find ways around it: older siblings’ accounts, unregulated sites, workarounds adults haven’t even heard of. So instead of guiding them, we’ll push them into darker corners of the internet with zero help. Brilliant.

The cherry on top? The people making these rules grew up without this technology, yet act like they know exactly what’s best. They want to lock kids out of the main way we communicate, learn, and connect today — all while saying it’s for their own good. Funny how “old enough” means you can vote, pay taxes and work… but still not scroll TikTok.

So thank you, Government and Commissioner! Instead of investing in digital literacy, holding big tech properly accountable, or actually listening to young people — you’ve chosen the easiest, laziest option. Top-tier governance. I’m sure future generations will be thrilled you kept them in the dark until you decided they were “ready.”

Last year, more than 600,000 non-EU migrants came to Britain.

Meanwhile, over a hundred thousand young British people left.

Mass migration is wrecking opportunity for young people. When I asked the Home Secretary about this, she didn't even pretend to answer the question.

@InTheTrenchesUK @jemmm85517813 Why? Why are our politicians such sleazy, morally defunct, unprincipled asses?

THE DOSSIER #6: Angela Rayner MP – The Hypocrite-in-Chief

Born 1980. Council house, Stockport. Pregnant at sixteen. No qualifications. The origin story writes itself.

You lasted less than a year as a care worker. Twelve months of actual work, then straight into UNISON. Shop steward. Full-time union official. The Fabian Society claimed you soon after. You climbed from activist to Deputy Prime Minister without ever creating a job, meeting a payroll, or building a thing.

You called Conservatives "Tory scum." You called them scum from your £3 million grace-and-favour flat. You called them scum while you underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty on your £800,000 Hove bolthole. "Inadvertent," you called it. Richard Tice called you "the biggest hypocrite in the land." He was being kind.

Sir Laurie Magnus investigated. The Prime Minister's ethics adviser found you breached the ministerial code. He noted you "did not heed the caution" in your own legal advice. Forced to resign on September 5, 2025. Disgraced. Yet still you cling to that MP salary.

You preach working-class aspiration while your property portfolio expands. You lecture homeowners about propriety while you forget to pay tax on your second home. You are the council house girl who discovered the establishment pays better than the estates ever could.

You backed scrapping winter fuel payments for nine million pensioners. You defended the two-child benefit cap hitting working families. You wanted to claw back child benefit from households earning £50,000 while you dodged £40,000 in taxes yourself.

You are the professional working-class activist who monetised her own story. The authenticity merchant who sold the narrative and kept the change. The inadvertent tax-dodger who deliberately climbed.

Your seat is safe. The estates you left behind are not.

Congratulations. You are The Dossier. Your betrayal of Britain is complete.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

@RadioGenoa @ragdollyanna2 It's their meet to see how much they can screw out of their taxpayers. 'These few, these happy few, these band of brothers' are laughing all the way to the bank with good men dying and families suffering☹️

[RadioGenoa @RadioGenoa]

And nothing, it's already fun as it is, no need to add anything else. They've been having these fucking useless meetings for 4 years that have never resolved anything, in fact, they're prolonging a useless war. Europe is overrun by corrupt and weak leaders.

@CradleCommons @Keir_Starmer A true representation- cute too.

Er .. tell me we aren’t really going to give more money to Zelensky.

Public debt is rising £7,500 per second, an extra £27 MILLION per hour, which is £650 MILLION a day!

Unemployment is rising, there is no growth without subsidies. Basically we are wankered (technical term)

[Marilena @Mar71b]

@rj_abel 😱How much more?

[Marilena @Mar71b]

@juneslater17 Good! I hope all of Makerfield react the same.

👇👇👇👇
I'm angry June! I live in the Makerfield constituency it's only 2 years since we had the election, we neither wanted of asked for this bloody stupid by-election, it was thrust on us by one man's quest for power at whatever the cost! People knocking on doors, I've thrown the equivalent to a forest away in leaflets and then by God, got a letter addressed to me this morning from friggin Carol Vorderman telling me not to vote for a certain candidate! How bloody dare she, I'll vote for who I want, not who a has-been numerical totty with a big gob tells me to!
And then we have do it all again another 2-3 years in a general election! Help!
