You have sworn allegiance to the King, his heirs and successors no matter what.

Well done you now serve the crown and the people of the UK, no matter what you think.

Starmer resigns and Burham lining up to be the next PM.

Will anything change?

Is the UK happy with someone who was not even an MP 2 weeks ago to be the next PM without a general election?

I have a list of current labour MP’s which I think will be charged with ‘misconduct in a public office’ in the next 5 years for their incompetence and negligence as either MP’s, cabinet members or PM.

Who do you think has knowingly deceived / operated against the UK’s interests?

In 2026 if an MEP doesn’t like political opponents having drinks they can raise this in the EU parliament!

Wow what a waste of taxpayers money. Wherever this person represents should be made to watch this and then be told how much it cost them in taxes.

Wow - facts that not everyone in the UK wants to hear.

Why does an advanced civilisation think it’s okay to allow these people into modern society. I’m not saying it’s everyone but even 1 of these child molesters is 1 to many.

Ed Davey has urged Bridget Phillipson to withdraw EHRC guidance protecting women-only toilets and changing rooms—guidance based on the Supreme Court’s Equality Act ruling. Calling it incompatible with “British values”, he’s chosen a side. It isn’t women.

@JohnSlinger Whilst I don’t disagree with your statement you can’t have it one way when it’s not your MP and then another when it is!

I’m no fan of Boris, but it’s just the same treatment that Starmer and MP’s gave Boris.

What’s fine for one MP must surely be good for any other MP.

Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020

I suggest he watches this on loop

“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’”

GLORIOUS 🔥

Does anyone know why Councillors who lost their jobs on 07 May still keep their X and social media profile as if they are still in the job? Especially those with extra roles.

A bit embarrassing imo & think they would remove social media narrative related to being a councillor!

@BBCBreaking Misconduct in a public office should be considered for everyone involved in his appointment including the PM.

If he knew he didn’t pass vetting, it’s gross misconduct if he didn’t know before his appointment, it’s gross misconduct.

Whichever you look at it, it stinks

🚨The state pension & triple lock is the hot topic of the day — but almost no one is discussing what actually happened and why we’re in this mess. Instead, governments are dividing older and younger generations with perverse gaslighting. Here’s the truth:

National Insurance was explicitly sold for generations as a contributory scheme. You paid your “stamps” to build entitlement to your state pension — exactly like road tax was introduced and meant to fund the Road Fund for building and maintaining roads.

Both started with a clear promise: pay in for a specific purpose.

Then governments quietly broke the ring-fencing/promise. Road hypothecation ended in 1937. NI became mostly pay-as-you-go — today’s workers funding today’s pensioners, with surpluses spent on the priorities of the day (NHS, welfare, whatever suited the government).

Why are we here now?
• Collapsing birth rates since the 1960s + longer lifespans.
• Mass immigration that failed to fix the worker-to-retiree ratio as promised.
• Decades of political short-termism: treating the National Insurance Fund like a slush fund instead of properly ring-fencing or investing it for the future. See Singapore for the gold standard.

Now the gaslighting ramps up: “No one paid into a pot.” “It’s just a transfer from poorer young to wealthier old.” “The triple lock is unaffordable.”

This is classic deception by government. They collected contributions under one set of expectations, spent the money elsewhere, then rebranded the promise when demographics caught up. Pensioners who worked 40-50 years and upheld their side of the intergenerational contract are suddenly the villains.

It’s perverse. Instead of admitting “we broke the funding model,” politicians pit generations against each other. The young aren’t subsidising the old out of nowhere — they’re paying into the same broken system their elders did.

Honour the existing promises to those who already paid in. Cut the real waste first (illegal migration costs, foreign aid, Net Zero subsidies, welfare bloat). Then reform properly for the future: move towards individual accounts with actual investment and returns — like Singapore’s CPF.

Stop the divisive nonsense. Fix the root causes instead of rewriting history and turning the country against itself.

Feel free to engage👇🏽

🚨FURIOUS CALLER ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS KEIR STARMER LIVE ON BBC – CALLS HIS ANSWERS “ABSOLUTE TWADDLE” AND DEMANDS HE ADMIT SEX CANNOT BE CHANGED! 🔥😳

Female Caller Refuses To Let Labour Leader Dodge Women’s Safety, Slams Him For Sacrificing Female Dignity To Appease A Tiny Minority 👊💥

Jane from London called into BBC Radio 5 Live and absolutely tore into Keir Starmer over Labour’s plans to simplify Gender Recognition Certificates. She put him firmly on the spot about protecting single-sex spaces for women like toilets and changing rooms.

Starmer squirmed, tried his usual deflections about being kind, treating people with dignity, and what he had done for women in the past. But Jane was having none of it. She interrupted, called out his answers as absolute twaddle, and refused to let him off the hook.

“It’s not about being kind or dignified, this is about protecting women,” she fired back. “Why are you putting our dignity on the line for very few people?”

When he tried to change the subject to his past record, Jane jumped straight in:

“This isn’t about what you have done, this is about what we want to be done. We don’t care about what you did in the past. We want you to say sex cannot be changed and you will protect us from men coming into our space.”

She finished with both barrels:

“You need to think about 51% of the population who are sick of the absolute twaddle that comes out of your mouth when we ask these questions!”

Wow! Jane did not hold back one bit. She let him have it and stood firm for women’s rights.

Well done Jane! 👏

A Parliament of Charity Workers and Lobbyists. In a Time of War.

Of 238 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024, 72 worked in the charitable sector, 72 were political employees and 70 worked in communications or lobbying. Roughly ninety percent have never worked in defence, manufacturing, engineering, medicine or law enforcement. A parliamentary source quoted in the Sunday Times put it plainly. If only we had the same number with defence or military experience, maybe we'd be in a different place.

Maybe. But the problem runs deeper than defence spending. It runs to the question of what kind of person ends up in parliament, what professional formation shapes their instincts, and whose interests they are constitutionally equipped to represent.

Charity sector workers are trained to see the world through the lens of vulnerable groups, international obligations and institutional compassion. Political employees are trained to manage narratives and avoid uncomfortable truths. Communications and lobbying professionals are trained to advance the interests of whoever is paying them. Not one of those professional backgrounds prepares you for the question of how to defend a sovereign nation, manage a border, hold a foreign state accountable or protect a citizen from an Iranian proxy group that is firebombing Jewish ambulances on British streets.

The parliament that responded to the Golders Green firebombing by debating the language used to describe it is a parliament staffed by people whose entire professional lives have trained them to manage perception rather than confront reality. The government that rolled out an anti-Muslim hostility definition while twenty Iranian backed terrorist plots were being planned on British streets is a government whose instinct is accommodation rather than accountability. The thirty six MPs who wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding Nick Timothy's investigation were not all acting from professional instinct. Several have documented histories of antisemitic language or associations. Others represent constituencies where the Muslim vote is the primary electoral consideration.

The Sunday Times source suggests the problem is defence spending priorities. It is that. But it is also the Trafalgar Square response, where Keir Starmer reached for Tommy Robinson rather than engaging with a theological argument he knew he could not answer. It is the Attorney General deploying his Jewish identity to provide cover for a false equivalence he knew to be false. It is the parliamentary machinery mobilised to silence the people naming what is happening while the people doing it operate without consequence. All of it flows from the same source. A political class whose professional formation is compassion, accommodation and message management, governing in a moment that requires clarity, resolve and the willingness to say plainly what the evidence shows.

Britain is not short of intelligence assessments. MI5 has thwarted twenty Iranian plots. The Walney report documented Iranian influence operations in the charitable sector. The security services know what is happening. The problem is not knowledge. It is the absence of the professional formation, the instincts, the language and the willingness that would allow the people in power to act on what they know.

Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies. They were never going to see it coming. And even now that it has arrived, on the streets of Golders Green, in the WhatsApp groups of the Green Party, on the Embankment where death to America was chanted on a Sunday afternoon, they are still reaching for the tools their professional lives gave them. Compassion. Accommodation. Message management. And the instruction not to take the bait.

"Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies."

Q. Which serving MP do you think will be charged with ‘misconduct in a public office’ in the next 6 years and why?
