I see many of you are still bitching about a man who builds rockets, autonomous cars and satellites becoming rich - on the platform he owns.

Maybe get out of bed and go build something yourself?

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I find the establishment hysteria about my position on deporting foreign child rapists and their accomplices quite remarkable.

If a Pakistani woman was fully aware that her husband has been gang-raping dozens of white English girls, but failed to report it? Or do anything?

Then yes, she should be deported along with her scumbag husband.

To be entirely honest, deportation is the moderate option for the rapist and it's one a Restore Britain Government may well ignore for a harsher and more permanent alternative.

We know that this has been happening for decades, across almost every town and city in Britain.

Everywhere. It continues today.

If a foreigner comes to our country and facilitates child rape, a Restore Britain Government will deport them before their feet touch the ground.

How many end up leaving is secondary - the principle is what matters.

If don't agree, fine. Vote Tory, Labour or Reform. Farage has made his objection to our policy very clear. There are plenty of options for you.

If you do agree? Then there is now a democratic route for you to take.

Restore Britain.

[Shanker Singham @ShankerASingham]

The idea that Brexit is the cause of the UK’s economic situation, despite money printing on a titanic scale, EU style energy policies that lead to vast energy costs, and massive public spending and welfare costs nobody is prepared to trim, is bizarre.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I read everywhere about the 'hard right'

This the term used to describe people who are
Islamosceptic - that is, people who are doubtful about the merits of a religion that demands child marriage, the beating of women, and death to all who oppose it

Perhaps 'sensible right' would be a better description

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

I was shocked at the thuggery I witnessed at the Tommy Robinson rally:
-A man struck a young girl on the head with a baseball bat and then raped her with the bat.
-Men nailed a girl's tongue to a block of wood while they raped her.
-One man used a pump to expand a girl's anus, then subjected her to gang rape by 6 men. At one point 4 men were inside her at once.
-Men burned their names into the skin of girls they raped.
-Girls were burned with boiling water, beaten with dog chains and forced to drink urine.
-One man got a 12 year old pregnant, then burned her house down, killing her, her unborn child, her disabled sister and her mother.
-A girl who'd been raped by multiple men was stabbed to death and her body dumped in a canal.
-A 15 year old girl who'd been gang raped was injected with heroin by a 50 year old man to kill her.

Oh wait - that wasn't at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those were crimes committed by predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs, with the acquiescence of the people calling today's protesters "far-right thugs".

[Laila Cunningham @policylaila]

Two men live in Zone 2 London.
Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat.

But only one believes he has a future in the city.

James was born in London.
He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street.

He earns just under £60,000 a year.
On paper, he is doing well.

But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it.

Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent.

Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time.

Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in.

Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000.

The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain.

His parents bought their first home younger than he is now.
James still does not know if he will ever own one.
So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting.
He watches friends delay children.

People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday.

Now meet Shaheed.
He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status.
He does not work.

He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system.

He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests.

He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month.

And this is the part driving so much public anger.

James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in.

Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system.

That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere.

London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Let's cut the shit, shall we? The media wants to celebrate Naz Shah as some kind of trailblazing hero. The first Muslim MP to move the Loyal Address. What a fucking milestone. It's a beautiful, polished story, and it's a complete and utter lie.

Let's talk about the real Naz. The one they don't put on greeting cards.

Let's start with the fun and exciting arrest back in 1992. Not for a protest. Not for a political cause. She was arrested alongside her mother for the arsenic poisoning of her "uncle" Azam. While her mum went to prison for it, Naz's flippant attitude during the whole ordeal was telling. She called the experience "fun" and "exciting." Fun. A man is poisoned, and she's having a laugh. That's not a victim; that's a fucking psycho.

Then there's the antisemitism. In 2016, she was suspended from Labour for sharing a graphic suggesting Israel be relocated to the US and comparing Israeli policies to Nazi Germany. Her excuse? "I didn't understand antisemitism." What the fuck? You're an MP, and you don't understand the basics of racial hatred? It's a pathetic, insulting lie. She knew exactly what she was doing, pandering to the worst elements of her base.

But her most disgusting betrayal is to the victims of grooming gangs. Naz Shah, who claims to be a "vociferous campaigner" for women, has spent her career downplaying the industrial-scale rape of children in her own community. She deflects, she obfuscates, and she blames everyone else. https://t.co/LTPaCCOInn branded her a "grooming gangs apologist," and while she sued and won an apology, the stench never left her. Victims feel utterly betrayed by the woman who was supposed to be their voice.

This is a woman who has leveraged her tragic backstory for political gain, playing the victim while ignoring the victims she was elected to protect. Her memoir, "Honoured," is a calculated attempt to rewrite her narrative, but it doesn't erase the damage she's caused.

So when you see that picture of her in Parliament, looking all solemn and historic, don't see a pioneer. See a fraud. See a woman who laughed during a murder investigation, shared antisemitic propaganda, and turned her back on the most vulnerable children in her constituency. She's not a champion of justice; she's a self-serving parasite who has built a career on lies and the backs of others.

That's her real legacy. Not the history books. The fucking truth.

[James Clark 📈📉¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @mr_james_c]

The thing about bond markets is that if Labour said:
"We're going to borrow this money to do a massive investment in nuclear energy, built to Korean standards, we're going to expand our airports and ports, renew and expand Britain's highway and rail systems, renew Britain's armed services and we're going to dramatically overhaul our planning and approvals system to do it rapidly"

Labour would get a very positive response from the markets and its borrowing rate would fall.

Unfortunately what Labour tells the markets is "we're going to borrow money and throw it at our client groups - welfare recipients, pensioners, the public sector and unions - basically the least productive members of society". Oddly enough this doesn't go down very well.

[Gully Foyle #UKTrade @TerraOrBust]

Something important to remember.

A Youth Mobility scheme with the EU was not a request from the UK - it was a demand from the EU. One that this government pushed back on and said it would not do.

Starmer is now trying to frame it as his idea and a good thing, not capitulation.

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

If Nigel Farage and Reform hadn’t taken the Government to court and overturned the cancelled elections, 4-5 million of you would not have had the right to vote today. 🗳️

Remember that.

[Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Jenny_1884]

What a weird country we now live in where 4 Americans have been banned from entering the UK because they planned to speak at a rally, but this government has no problem with allowing thousands upon thousands of unvetted illegals to arrive on our shores & pay them for the privilege.

All seems very sinister don’t you think?

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.

I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.

Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions

These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.

Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.

Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.

Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.

There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.

So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.

Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.

The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

It's getting harder and harder to listen to @Keir_Starmer giving statements about anti-Semitic attacks over my repeated shouting of "f*** off" at the telly.

[Gully Foyle #UKTrade @TerraOrBust]

In case you missed it - the EU Parliament has today voted to increase the already massive €1.8 Trillion EU budget for 2028-2034 by a further 10%, taking it to over TWO TRILLION EUROS.

The UK as a member would've been responsible for 12% of that budget, which is 240 BILLION EUROS

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

If you're shocked by today's stabbing terror attack on British Jews, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years.

Not a single one of the men who drove through North London in 2021 shouting “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine" were prosecuted. Not one.

So why is anyone surprised when British Jews are stabbed in broad daylight a few years later? The message went out loud and clear that anti-semitism was allowed on our streets. You reap what you sow.

@Keir_Starmer promised honesty and integrity but is whipping his MPs so he can avoid a standards investigation

Under his leadership...

Two people with close links to pedophiles were promoted to high office

His ex deputy is in hot water with HMRC

One minister resigned because she turned out to be a literal criminal

His anti corruption minister has been convicted overseas of corruption

A homelessness minister had to resign over evicting tenants

A heath minister resigned after hoping a constituent would die

Another Labour MP resigned after punching a constituent in the face 6x

A Labour MP was suspended after being arrested for sex offences

The Business Secretary thought he was a solicitor when he wasn't

His Chancellor seems extremely confused about her work history. She also failed to get a licence to rent her property

Multiple ministers including the PM accepted gifts including clothes from donors despite earning more than double what most people earn

The Attorney General has failed to act on conflicts of interest and supported baseless lawfare against British soldiers

The Labour Welsh First Minister was forced to resign over so many allegations of corruption it's hard to know where to start typing them

On top of all that there's the cronyism, firing officials without due process, and the Chinese spying case

The Conservatives might have had a psychodrama but this is a pattern of behaviour that makes a mockery of integrity, and shows a profound failure of judgment and accountability at the top of government
