@PeterStefanovi2 The Renters Rights Act has backfired badly for tenants. It’s bad for tenants AND landlords. Only Labour could have come up with such a dumb bill.

[The British Patriot @TheBritLad]

🚨INSANITY: The average British worker works 40 hours a week, year after year, watching taxes climb while the cost of living crushes them and still barely make ends meet.

Meanwhile, the government is spending your money like this:

Aid across the world:

• World Health Organisation: £310M
• Ukraine: £237M
• Ethiopia: £217M
• Afghanistan: £171M
• Syria: £146M
• Yemen: £144M
• Somalia: £143M
• Sudan: £140M
• South Sudan: £134M
• Palestine: £129M
• Nigeria: £117M
• Congo (DRC): £107M
• Pakistan: £99M
• Overseas Territories: £98M
• Kenya: £79M
• Jordan: £68M
• Myanmar: £65M
• Bangladesh: £61M
• Nepal: £60M
• Lebanon: £56M
• Tanzania: £56M
• Malawi: £50M
• Mozambique: £49M
• Uganda: £46M
• Indonesia: £45M
• Zambia: £42M
• Rwanda: £31M
• Zimbabwe: £31M
• Sierra Leone: £30M
• Turkey: £19M
• Ghana and Liberia: £16M
• South Africa: £14M
• Eastern Neighbourhood: £14M
• Central Asia: £13M
• Western Balkans: £13M

Illegal immigration:

Housing and benefits: £5/6billion
Translation fees: £150M

Foreign criminals in British prisons: £600M​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

NET STUPID ZERO 6.7 BILLION.

Just in this list alone it exceeds:
£15.5 BILLION!!!

YET, there’s no money to fix pot holes, the NHS, police on the streets, schools falling apart, social care for the elderly, housing the homeless, or support for veterans.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.. amongst other things,

Absolutely disgraceful.

🚨📉THE SLOW DEATH OF BRITAIN:

We have shit water companies so we buy bottled water.

We have rubbish police so we hire private security.

We have terrible healthcare so we pay private hospitals instead.

Airbnbs in Cornwall pay council tax but get no rubbish collection, so they pay Biffa on top.

An awful lot of firemen are now volunteers.

NHS dentists don’t really work anymore, so you go private or you pull it out yourself.

Our roads are littered with potholes nobody fills. Your privately funded tyres and suspension are the collateral.

You are forced under threat of criminal prosecution to fund the BBC, and it’s so bad you pay for streaming to get news or entertainment anyway.

Your bins are collected fortnightly, so you drive to the tip. The tip now requires a booking, a permit and proof you live in the county.

Garden waste is a separate annual subscription. On top of the council tax that used to cover it.

Your GP surgery is an 8am phone lottery, so you pay £40 to an app to speak to a doctor in a different time zone.

CAMHS has a two year waiting list, so parents remortgage for private assessments.

Your child’s SEN provision is a legal entitlement, so you hire a solicitor to sue the council for it. The council spends more fighting you than the support would have cost.

Physio is a forty week wait. Your back does not have forty weeks.

Schools teach in portable cabins bolted to the playground because the actual building is held up by aerated concrete and hope.
Half of them are technically insolvent.

Parents fund the reading books, the glue sticks, the photocopier, the roof and increasingly the teachers wages - all via a PTA raffle and local fundraisers.

The state offers “free” childcare hours that don’t cover the nursery’s costs, so the nursery bills you a “top up fee” for the free thing.

Shoplifting under £200 is functionally legal, so Tesco hires guards - who crucially don’t even try to stop it - and you pay for them in the price of the milk.

999 takes an hour, so you buy the Ring doorbell, gather the evidence, file the report and get a crime number for the insurance you also pay for.

Court backlogs run to years, so anyone with money settles privately and everyone else gets nothing.

Legal aid is gone. Represent yourself.

Passport and DVLA backlogs are chronic, so the state sells you a fast track service to escape the queue the state created.

The trains are late whoever owns them, so you drive on the roads with the potholes.
Public toilets are shut, so you buy a coffee you don’t want.

The library is staffed by pensioners working for free.

Street lights are switched off at midnight to save money in a country with a burglary charge rate near zero.

You pay National Insurance for fifty years and they move the pension age.

You pay the adult social care precept every year and then sell your mother’s house to pay for adult social care.

Leaseholders pay for a “waking watch” because the state signed off the cladding and then billed the residents to fix it.

Social housing sits on the most valuable land in Britain, allocated by need rather than proximity to work, 48% of zone 1 social housing is occupied by foreigners mostly welfare dependent - while the nurses, teachers and other workers who keep zone 1 running commute ninety minutes each way from Kent because we stopped building anything in 1979.

Every one of these is a service you have already bought. The receipt is your payslip.

The tax burden is heading for its highest sustained level since the 1940s. The service level is the worst in living memory.

You are not overtaxed or underserved. You are actually BOTH, simultaneously, and the gap between the two is where your standard of living went.

The state has become a subscription you cannot cancel and cannot use.

@P155edOffMan @Euro_toff @TiceRichard #FBPE in his bio means his opinion is worthless.

[Iscanic @iscanic]

@Euro_toff @TiceRichard The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care accepts £400k plus in multiple small donations via different companies from the same person - who sells recruitment services to the NHS.

If it walks like a duck…

@CSgtBourne @LonsdaleKeith I applied for a job as a facilitator where they do the written driving tests. I had all the skills and experience needed but didn’t even get an interview. On the advert it said applicants from an ethnic background were guaranteed an interview!!

🚨 BREAKING: FORMER LABOUR CANDIDATE JAILED FOR FAKING OXFORD DEGREE TO BLAG 13 SENIOR NHS JOBS.

An eight year fraud campaign costing British taxpayers 168,000 pounds has just ended in a four year prison sentence for a former Labour politician!

Amran Hussain used fake Oxford and Harvard certificates to trick the NHS into hiring him for senior management roles paying up to 90,000 pounds a year.

The moment he signed his contracts, he went straight on paid sick leave. He claimed 1,332 sick days out of 1,902 days of employment, including one senior job where he worked a single shift and spent 115 days on paid sick leave!

He even lied to the judge during his trial, falsely claiming he had served two combat tours in the British Army.

This is the absolute state of Labour candidates and public sector vetting. While everyday Brits struggle to get an NHS doctor, a Labour scammer blagged 13 senior health service jobs and sat at home collecting taxpayer cash.

They fleece the taxpayer, exploit public services, and undermine trust across our entire national health system.

RT and SHARE this everywhere to expose Labour fraud and demand total accountability in our NHS! 🇬🇧🔥

The Islamic Centre for England is a registered 'charity' that hosted a commemorative funeral for the Supreme Leader of Iran.

They're also allowed to sponsor migrants to come to Britain.

Will the Home Secretary step in and put a stop to this madness?

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

"Well there we are," says Bridget Phillipson, clutching her pearls about Nigel Farage's £5 million donation like she's the moral arbiter of British politics.

Oh, sweetheart. Sit down. Let me explain this slowly, using small words so you understand.

You want to talk about "sleaze" and people who think "the rules don't apply to them"? Let's take a little trip down memory lane to your own backyard, shall we?

The Wearside Women in Need "Administrative Error"
Your mother, Clare Phillipson, ran a domestic violence charity, Wearside Women in Need. How noble. How virtuous. How... convenient that allegations of financial mismanagement, missing charity accounts, and fraudulent use of £728,000 in government grants somehow never resulted in charges.

The accounts went missing. The funding was questionable. And yet miraculously no prosecution. Just a quiet retirement. How very fortunate for the Phillipson family.

And you, Bridget, you worked for your mother at this charity. You built your "working-class" credentials on this foundation. Tell us, did you notice anything irregular while you were there?

Just weeks ago, Labour MP Karl Turner announced he is suing his own party over "hostile briefings and smears" about his mental health. His crime? Questioning whether Morgan McSweeney's phone was really "stolen" (the same phone containing messages about Lord Mandelson's Epstein connections). For this, Starmer stripped him of the whip. Then No 10 allegedly weaponized Turner's mental health history to silence him. This is the "decency" Bridget lectures from.

But please, Bridget, lecture us more about "sleaze."

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Labour are currently hanging themselves very publicly. They think Spain has the right to deploy the military to defend its border and has the right, under the ECHR, to deport tens of thousands of illegals immediately. Meanwhile their current policy is the exact opposite.

[Kevin Edger @KEdge23]

Labour attacked supermarkets. They’ve hit back.

British Retail Consortium, which represents many big shops incl M&S, Sainsbury’s and Tesco, have said that Labour’s tax rises are to blame for higher prices.

Labour’s tax rises are also to blame for job losses.

@VoWalesWren Not long now before the only people left voting Labour will be those on benefits.

Contrary to garbage in media:

I am being investigated for standing against antisemitism. You could not make it up.

Standards Commissioner is considering complaint by anti semitic anti Israel lobby group over whether I should have referenced my register of interests at start of a debate on UK democracy and Israeli influence.

The same anti Israel group failed to notify Commissioner that Ayoub Khan MP did not declare his substantial donation received from a pro Palestine group.

Funny that…..

A pro-Palestinian protestor has avoided jail for climbing Big Ben, causing serious disruption & costing taxpayers £92,000.

The Judge said: "It's good to see people having strong principles”.

If an anti-illegal migrant protester did similar, I can’t see the Judge saying similar.

[WasAcop @WasAcop]

🚨Well well well…

Matthew Torbitt, the GB News panellist and former Labour aide who liked to call himself “Britain’s favourite lefty”, has just pleaded guilty at Thames Magistrates’ Court to two counts of fraud by false representation over parliamentary travel and accommodation claims.

Sentencing later this year.

@realmomma47 @LeeHarris @JeremyClarkson We went to Greece earlier in the summer and we were through the airport in no time at all. The Greeks sensibly decided to put paying customers before bureaucrats.
