🚨 THE OFFICIAL DATA THEY ARE DESPERATELY HIDING FROM YOU.

Good morning to the millions of everyday, hardworking Brits. Waking up this Friday morning, it is time to completely expose the greatest economic lie of the last decade.

Andy Burnham is preparing to walk into Number 10, claiming Brexit destroyed our economy and demanding we get closer to the EU. 🤡

Facts over slogans. Let us look at the actual, official data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)!

Since the Brexit referendum, UK GDP has surged by 12.9%. We have outgrown the EU’s top three economies, rising more than twice as fast as Germany!

George Osborne promised us 820,000 job losses if we voted Leave. Instead, UK jobs are up by a massive 2.4 MILLION.

Burnham claims our trade collapsed. The official data proves UK global exports are up 17.6% since 2016.

Business investment? Up nearly 17%.

The establishment's entire "Project Fear" was a complete and utter fraud, yet Andy Burnham is still using it to justify dragging us straight back under the thumb of Brussels.

He wants to completely erase the democratic vote of 17.4 million people using a fake economic crisis that never actually happened!

RT to completely expose this massive uniparty scam and demand we stay OUT! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

I have just finished reading The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.

It is, without a doubt, the most horrifying document I've ever read in my life.

There is no close second... and it's worse than you could ever imagine.

Here's everything you need to know 🧵

Case in point: the Prime Minister just said defence is "a number one priority".

Growth was meant to the number one priority, is it still?

There's not enough money for defence, but today the Government announced £4.5 BILLION for walking and cycling.

Make choices. Decide. Lead.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.

It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.

Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.

We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

The PM says he didn't know Mandelson failed his security vetting until this week - but The Independent's @DavidPBMaddox knew back in September.

"This is a massive question mark about Keir Starmer's integrity."

Marks and Spencer has written to the Mayor of London and the home secretary citing concerns at a rise of shoplifting and abuse against workers.

Adam Hawksbee, external affairs director for M&S, says staff are 'worried about coming into work' because of antisocial behaviour.

1/2 If the outcome is fixed, the critics are dismissed, and the evidence is curated… that’s not consultation. That’s theatre. They called it compassion. They called it consultation. But when you look closely, it’s control of the narrative, not openness to the truth. Link to full article in comments.

[mandy rhodes @holyroodmandy]

Meanwhile, we are told tackling violence against women and girls is a priority of our government.

[Annemarie Ward 💜 @Annemarieward]

For years Europe has told itself a comforting story about drug policy: that compassion meant reducing harm and keeping people alive.
But what if something quieter happened along the way?
What if we learned how to manage addiction without remembering how people recover from it?
A new shift in American policy is reopening a question Europe stopped asking and one that matters deeply for the UK and Scotland, because our policy direction has largely followed Brussels for decades.
This isn’t an argument against harm reduction. It’s a question about what comes next.
Because when a culture stops believing in transformation, its policies settle for management.
My latest piece explores the growing divergence between Europe and the United States and why the real debate is no longer left versus right, but survival versus recovery.

I think I might put Sky News before BBC in Leftish lean which, as the person who launched Sky, is a matter of regret for me. When I launched it, it was rigorously neutral.

Valentine's Day had nothing to do with love. ❤️❌

No romance. No flowers. No love letters. For over a thousand years, it was just a saint's feast day.

Then one British poet changed everything. 🇬🇧

Not Hallmark. Not America. Not the Romans.

A man in England, 1382, wrote a single poem. And the entire world followed.

His name was Geoffrey Chaucer. He wrote about birds choosing their mates on Saint Valentine's Day. Before that poem, NOBODY connected February 14th with romance.

After it, every poet in Europe followed his lead.

A hundred years later, a woman in Norfolk picked up a pen. She wrote to the man she loved. She called him "my right well-beloved Valentine."

Her name was Margery Brews. 1477. That letter still exists. You can see it in the British Library today.

Every card. Every bunch of flowers. Every "be my Valentine."

It all started with a British poet and a woman from Norfolk.

Happy Valentine's Day. From Britain. 🇬🇧

A diplomat standing in @KelvingroveArt , gazing up at @artist_dali Christ of St John of the Cross, holding a Paddington Bear, strangely perfect. A Japanese ambassador, a Spanish surrealist, a Scottish gallery, and a small bear from darkest Peru all looking up at Christ suspended over Glasgow. If that’s not a parable about hope and unlikely grace, I don’t know what is.
Soft power, meet soft toy. Wonderful.

[Annemarie Ward 💜 @Annemarieward]

Hear Hear Marie, you’re right. People aren’t voting from hate, they’re voting from exhaustion. Decades of neglect hollow out communities until anger fills the space where hope should be. Sneering at voters as racist is not moral leadership, it’s political illiteracy. As @NaeFear said, it shuts down listening just when it’s most needed. If mainstream politics wants to win trust back, it has to stop performing virtue and start delivering competence. People don’t want slogans. They want functioning services, honest work, safe streets, and the sense that their lives matter as much as those who write the policy papers.
Broken hearts don’t heal through contempt. They heal through being taken seriously.

I agree with Jim Sillars
The contempt being shown by certain pundits and politicians for the heartfelt Scots who are voting for @ReformUKScot is tragic.

My life for three decades has been about creating bottom up economic growth.

This is build on a foundation of regeneration and renewal projects in our former industrial heartlands including town centre regeneration that are the left behinds.

Kids like me from Ayrshire were left behind by ‘ALL’ the so called progressive policies of various governments.
They failed us kids and our young people continued to be failed.

I agree with Jim Sillars ( see below).
The contempt being shown by certain pundits and politicians for the heartfelt Scots who are voting for @ReformUKScot is tragic.

Ask the question why ? are our Scots voting for Reform Scotland.

Really simple the ‘WILL’ and ‘HEARTS’ of the people are broken 💔by years of neglect and showboating click bait policies.

This failure is at the hands of politicians who in the real world are unemployable.

Jim Sillars @NaeFear called it correct this week when he said in an interview @HolyroodDaily

“To go around denouncing Reform as racist, and by implication those who vote for it must be racist, I think, is the height of stupidity.”
Amen 🙏
