A used book I ordered online arrived today (Boxing Day). I noticed this written inside it.

Before Channel 7 starts frightening Australians about reducing immigration and the supposed collapse of our healthcare system, perhaps they could investigate why Australia deliberately restricts its own medical training capacity. The Australian Government controls the number of Commonwealth-supported medical school places. Specialist training is also constrained by funded positions, accreditation and supervision capacity. These aren’t conspiracy theories, they’re documented features of Australia’s medical training system. We have many capable young Australians competing for limited medical school places, while our healthcare system has become heavily dependent on importing doctors trained overseas. And now we’re told reducing immigration threatens the entire system? Perhaps we should be asking why successive governments haven’t invested sufficiently in training Australians in the first place. Of course we need skilled overseas doctors to fill immediate shortages, particularly in regional communities but importing qualified professionals should complement a strong domestic training system, not become a permanent substitute for building one.

Train Australians, expand medical school places, fund specialist training and let’s build a sustainable healthcare workforce.

Opposition parties need to realise Burnham is fighting in a different league to Starmer. He’s in the street and will go lower. Game has fundamentally changed.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Visa bans alone are just not enough - when Restore Britain first proposed this one year ago, it was part of a wider attack package on countries that refuse to accept their deported migrants, particularly considering many of those countries will be placed on our red list regardless and have all civilian immigration halted entirely.

It needs more, it needs harmonised visa sanctions across like-minded Western nations, a co-ordinated suspension of visa issuance, reviewing any investment relationships, complete foreign aid cancellation, brutal diplomatic pressure, targeted trade measures and tariffs, harsh sanctions on individuals.

Do it as one, together.

A deportation NATO.

Most importantly? Hit them where it hurts.

Further controls and targeted taxation on remittances and dividend payments, in addition to what will be implemented on foreign payments regardless.

We will make them pay.

Pakistan will be the first country to feel the full force of our measures.

It will be a good day.

@cremieuxrecueil @Mankosmash @gen0m1cs Do you know about Kurt Goedel's personal history?

[David May @mayd]

Come now, you need to be more tolerant and accept @terrence_tao as he is. Eccentricity is very common in people like him. Isaac Newton was unlikable, and eccentric. Apparently, he wrote thousands of pages on Biblical commentary, Apocalyptic exegesis, and Alchemy. Knowing that now does not lower my regard for him in the slightest.

So tiresome. I have several clients in the energy sector. I provide forecasts of extreme weather events (temperature, hurricanes, convective weather) that are used by utility and energy trading companies. So give it a rest, I am not a lobbyist for fossil fuel companies

🚨Important new Reform policy:

As Home Secretary I will immediately shut down the asylum system.

Britain is full.

No more asylum.

No more free hotels.

I will clear the asylum backlog by deporting everyone in it.

Enough is enough.

British people first. 🇬🇧

@MorgothsReview Low IQ @ThatAlexWoman is insane and evil. However, what @cfdownes_ wrote was amateurish. His unnecessary anti-Israel outbursts only hurt the nationalist cause. He gives life-saving oxygen to vile people like Alex Philips.

A female Oxford professor, 33, who recently split from her much-older ex-UK Cabinet minister boyfriend Michael Gove, has been charged with possessing indecent images of children.

I do not believe that the NHS should exist to serve millions of migrants from the third world.

Walk into any waiting room, any emergency department, any specialist clinic, any maternity unity - you’ll see exactly what I mean. British men and women forced to wait months, even years, for an appointment or procedure, whilst the system gets clogged up by migrants who should not be in our country.

I’ll get the usual screeching in response to this about how the NHS would collapse without immigration.

Wrong.

We can welcome the French oncologist or South Korean surgeon without also welcoming millions of zero-skilled migrants who use and abuse our generosity.

We don’t have to do both, clearly.

There is a better way.

Here is Restore Britain’s six point plan to fix the NHS.

Demand.

- Most importantly, reverse mass immigration.
- A financial penalty for missed appointments without an evidenced reason.

Supply.

- Remove caps on medical-school places so that more talented British young men and women have the opportunity to become doctors/professionals - apprenticeships, training schemes and more.
- With the same effort for dentistry, which is equally important.
- Work to retain experienced NHS staff, bringing them back into the service with incentives.
- Maintain a selective route for genuinely exceptional overseas medical professionals.
- Demand rigorous and consistent professional standards.
- Ensure no qualified and capable British medical professional is out of work.
- Introduce grants to attract emigrated qualified Brits back home.

Access.

- Work with the private sector on a massive scale to reduce waiting lists to manageable levels, alongside a 24/7 service in appropriate units.
- Use AI to bypass the GP bottleneck, clearing the way for rapid diagnostic tests, with appropriate clinical safeguards.
- Invest in community support to hasten discharges so that hospital beds aren't occupied by patients who no longer need the care.
- End the 8am GP appointment scramble. Establish more accessible online booking systems, with urgent appointments appropriately prioritised and telephone access retained for those who need it.
- A national infrastructure reinvestment scheme for technology, diagnostics, equipment and facilities.

Patient experience.

- Make hospital parking free for patients, visitors and staff, introducing sensible controls to protect availability.
- Remove ALL foreign-language translation services across the health service.
- Ensure all staff speak fluent English - OBVIOUSLY.
- Improve complaint/whistleblowing processes so that patients and staff have a proper voice.
- Invest in proper hospital food - British sourced, nutritious, and as natural as possible.
- Respect continuity of care, making it easier for patients with complex or long-term conditions to see the same GP or clinical team.
- Patients will receive clear, timely and understandable explanations of delays, cancelled operations, test results and changes to treatment plans.

NHS culture

- End every last DEI programmes and the politicisation of the health service - staff will leave their rainbow lanyards at home.
- Require NHS staff to prioritise patient care, professional standards and political impartiality.
- Sack the staff who breach these professional obligations.
- Introduce salary-linked league tables for senior executives across the trusts. Again, remove those who are not performing.

Efficiency

- Radically reduce NHS bureaucracy.
- Eliminate duplicated administrative roles, wasteful expenditure and unnecessary management layers.
- Overhaul procurement - put qualified men and women with genuine private sector experience in charge of a total root and branch review of how our money is being spent.
- Conduct an NHS-wide technology audit - drag it into 2026.

A full Restore Britain policy is being worked on, but these are the principles on which it is based.

In the medium to long term, we need a more fundamental conversation about how healthcare is delivered in Britain.

But this is the basis of Restore Britain’s plan to ensure the health service provides timely and robust care to the people who need it.

The British people.

Millions over populated.

Nigel “political impossibility to deport hundreds of thousands, we simply can’t do it”

But it’s other folks fault when we don’t get enough votes.

[David May @mayd]

We can't expect the general public to understand defence—they are seriously uninformed, misinformed, and disinformed by governments that do not want to spend money on services that do not deliver votes for them. The serving defence personnel do understand but they are constrained from speaking out. However, senior retired defence personnel are free to speak but seldom do in any coordinated way. If only there were a unified organization of retired senior members of army, navy, airforce—respected, authoritative—who could campaign for national security and defence. Where is this body of men?

The current state of what was once the greatest Navy in the world. A national scandal.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Kemi Badenoch lobbied for the Boriswave.

In 2015 the Tories promised you they'd cut immigration to the tens of thousands.

They then imported 572,000 in a single year.

For Kemi, that wasn't nearly enough.

In parliament in 2018, she declared: “I especially thank the Home Secretary for removing the annual limits on work visas and on international students: I lobbied for both on behalf of the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Anglia Ruskin university'.

She got her wish.

Her party then imported a mind-blowing 4.8 million people in less than 4 years.

Over HALF of them on the work and study visas that she lobbied to derestrict.

You cannot trust them to deal with immigration.

Reform will abolish ILR, ban all foreign nationals from all forms of welfare, and reverse the Boriswave.

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

🔴ELIMINATED: Hisham Jamal Muhammad Abu Ghala, a Nukhba platoon commander in Hamas’ military wing who was among the leaders of the raid on the Kissufim outpost and took part in abducting Israelis during the October 7 Massacre.

Recently, the terrorist advanced attacks against Israeli civilians & IDF troops and operated to restore Hamas’ capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire.

The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.
