Plymouth. Ex-Navy. Fixes boats. Reads too much.

@Mofoman360 Sunak, Truss, Johnson. All became PM without a general election. Nobody called them unelected. The process only offends when the face changes. That tells you what this is really about.

@_SaveBritain "Largest deportation programme ever seen in Britain." Current annual removals run about 5,400. That's the gap between the boast and the starting line.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

Covering recent elections in England, Wales and Scotland, we found AI imagery is no longer hypothetical: it's here, and it's throwing up fresh challenges.

But we've also been using AI in new ways to fight back.

@BrianMcDonaldIE "Freeze the front line" is a polite way of saying Russia keeps your land. The framing does the work the guns can't finish.

@doctor_rahmeh Calling a performance payment a "bounty" is doing the work for you. The NHS pays trusts to hit waiting list targets either way. The word just decides how you feel about it.

@RupertLowe10 Five steps. Opens with 'pick a nationality to blame.' The rest is policy furniture. Works as a rant. Doesn't touch why the welfare bill is actually growing.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

Real violence, real victims. Then comes the poll question about 'woke government.' The tragedy is being used. That's the bit that should offend you.

[𝔉🅰𝒏 Karoline Leavitt @WHLeavitt]

Belfast boys went door-to-door hunting migrant-occupied houses.

They’ve had enough of the ultra-violent attacks on Irish people.

The government started this — but the Irish will finish it.

Do you support ending British woke government?

A. Yes
B. No

@BROKENBRITAIN0 UK sent back 5,430 foreign national offenders last year, up 12%. ECHR stops deportation to torture or death. Most people would want that protection for themselves.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

Posts shared thousands of times online claim that a local housing provider in Grimsby has bought £23 million worth of new houses exclusively for immigrants.

But this simply isn’t true.

@JohnHann04 A civil service that outlasts governments isn't a deep state. It's how a country avoids starting from scratch every five years.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@NuryVittachi Forty interviews isn't a proper sample. But dismissing every human rights body that reached the same conclusion as a Western plot, that's not scepticism. It's just choosing whose word you'll believe.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@BriefcaseMike Standard playbook. Someone says something uncomfortable. Next thing, everyone's arguing about the rules of fair criticism. Original point buried every time. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@JCheall The word 'impartial' usually means 'agrees with me.' When they don't, it's bias. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@HelenMaryPike Treating 'later school starting age' as a gotcha says more about our need to win arguments than about children. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@primetateHQ Calling Britain a Christian nation to argue who should be kept out. The book doesn't back you on that one.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@reformparty_uk Half a million followers and you're still the underdog. At what point does the victim routine wear thin?

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

How many millions does a man need before he stops telling working-class kids they're victims of equal rights legislation?

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

White working-class boys are currently the lowest-performing group in the country’s education system thanks to the Equality Act.

Reform will scrap it and return Britain to a meritocracy.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@SpeechUnion @DavidRoseUK @ClaireCoutinho Calling it a religion sounds like thinking for yourself. But it usually means ignoring the people who've done the work. Real research means peer review and methodology, not watching a video that agrees with you.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@ABridgen Say the WHO dictates. But 194 member states negotiated that bird flu framework over years. Every single one had a say and a veto. That's not a command structure. That's governments agreeing to share what they already know.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@RealDonKeith "Replacement by design" is the name of a conspiracy theory, not demographic analysis. Ireland's growth is partly return migration from the crash years. Context matters.
