BBC says Home Secretary will use “all powers necessary on anti-migrant protests.” Outrageous the Home Secretary refuses to use “all powers necessary” to catch & immediately deport illegal migrants
@GBNEWS@claire_pearsall Britain left The EU precisely for this reason. We saw ourselves as being continually used and abused by Brussels. The EU has a massive illegal migration problem, we are a long way from the source of it. They should deal with it, not burden us with their problems.
@RidgeandFrost@SkyNews@BarnabyPap This is why Britain should be doing all it can to reduce industrial electricity costs, in order to get on the front foot with AI, for reasons of national security.
Number of Jews in Egypt: 10 (total population: 100 million)
Jordan: 0 (10M)
Saudi Arabia: 0 (34M)
Lebanon: 100 (7M)
Syria: 0 (17M)
Iraq: 4 (39M)
Iran: 8,300 (83M)
Number of Arabs in Israel: 1.9M (9M), with full civil rights.
But sure, Israel is the apartheid state.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.4% in the three months to July 2026 compared with the three months to April 2026.
This follows growth of 0.4% in the three months to June 2026 and 0.6% in the three months to May 2026.
This is a decent enough growth performance in a low-growth era for most major economies.
The good news is that our world-class service sector continues to power ahead: it grew by 0.6%, after growing by 0.5% in the three months to June 2026.
The bad news is that production output (manufacturing, largely) fell by 0.5%, following no growth in the three months to June 2026. So much for reindustrialisation.
While construction output fell by 0.5%. So much for record housebuilding.
@GBNEWS Is he talking to the government or to us, the British public?
If it is to us, it needn’t be said, for we have been trying to say it ourselves for decades. We aren’t allowed to.
@kevinhollinrake@DPJHodges@Arron_banks If you come here, respect the country, embrace our culture & seek to integrate, I see no reason why your appearance has any bearing on your acceptance as a British citizen. If you have none of these qualities I see no reason why you should remain here.
@JonathanPieNews A coherent immigration policy would help at this dangerous time. Enemies of Britain will be highly likely to be exploiting the fact that our southern border is porous. It isn’t rocket science and only an incompetent government tackles the reaction rather than the cause..
The RNLI are not, nor ever have been. deserving of criticism over rescuing those in danger at sea. Largely made up of volunteers they, like the medical profession, are morally obliged to aid those at risk, regardless of who they are. They are not a border force.
@DPJHodges Instead of demonising protesters for political purposes, a bit more dialogue might help. Any rational person can see where this is going and simply employing draconian measures against ordinary concerned people isn’t likely to defuse the situation.
The British Left spent recent years watching masked Hamas sympathisers march through London and had no issue at all.
Now, they’re having a nervous breakdown because working-class British men have decided to protest non-violently, too. Notice the blatant hypocrisy?
@KayBurley It sounds rather like propaganda fuelling a developing situation instead of encouraging cool heads and genuinely addressing the root of the problem rather than constantly demonising ordinary people that are showing increasing concern.
