Good morning!

As promised… posting every day until the whole of Australia has seen it.

Show your friends.
Share it round.
Watch it again.

Oh… and for the rest of the world? Have pity on us. It’s our Finance Minister.

🚨 Former Labour spokesman James Matthewson accuses Julia Hartley-Brewer of "bigotry" over her views on trans ideology.

JHB: "I've NEVER been bigoted. If a man believes he's a woman, he is either suffering from mental health issues, it's a fetish, or he's lying!"

£1.5m in donations from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, makers of puberty blockers, might provide a clue.

This couple have been caught on camera fly-tipping near Nuneaton. The evidence will be passed to the Leader of Warks County Council @_GeorgeFinch who, we have full confidence, will ensure these people are prosecuted. @bbcmtd

Yes, we need to use our Brexit freedoms to a much greater extent, allowing Britain to excel in sectors including biotech, artificial intelligence, satellites, agricultural genomics and financial services among others.

And of course the UK needs to recalibrate once again as a low-tax, low-regulation, high-productivity economy – and, again, Brexit provides the perfect opportunity, if only we could summon the courage.

But the "clearly Brexit has been an economic disaster" horror stories aren’t true – and, if we so chose, and pursue the right policies, Britain could soar economically outside the EU.

Conventional wisdom, as is so often the case, is no wisdom at all ....

We must fight ethnonationalism and its causes with equal vigour.

Those who deny an English ethnic identity or sneer at white people are simply stirring up resentment.

If we curb sectarianism and encourage assimilation and pride in nation we’ll be a happier, stronger nation.

We mustn’t look away

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

Conventional wisdom says that leaving the European Union has harmed the British economy.

Listen to almost any Brexit debate – over the airwaves or on the professional conference circuit – and it’s invariably taken for granted being outside the EU has done serious economic damage.

Now we're in June, and as the 23rd approaches – the ten-year anniversary of that hotly-contested, era-defining referendum – this message will be rammed home again and again.

But it simply isn’t true.

This is a very good question

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

This is completely mad.

Britain has no history of polygamy. It's been illegal to enter into a polygamous marriage in England since 1604.

When people come to this country, they should abide by our norms. Allowing them not to and then giving them taxpayer money for it is mental.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

More than 600,000 households across the country are now getting paid more in benefits than the average family earns from work.

And it's the working people who are being taxed to cover the cost.

We can't keep squeezing hard-working people to pay for those who don’t work.

This is utterly SUPERB from Trevor Phillips!

He exposes Zack Polanski for the nasty piece of work he is.

He skilfully REFUSES to let him wriggle out of his disgusting statement about 'a perception of fear' in the Jewish community

Polanski is a vile, low-IQ, far-left extremist

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

335 MPs who voted against referring Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee.

A list of shame.

Not an ounce of integrity between them.

An advertising blitz will now hit the constituency of every Labour hypocrite on this list. They’ve increased their annihilation on May 7th!

An LBC caller asked Badenoch how a Muslim could trust the Conservative Party after Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy criticized mass Ramadan public prayer in Trafalgar Square as “an act of domination.” Badenoch did not duck.

Her opening:

British law over religious law. British culture over religious deference. The right to criticize ANY religion — Christianity, Islam, all of them — is a non-negotiable feature of a free society, not a privilege the majority granted to the minority.

This is the Western mainstream conservative position. Badenoch — daughter of Nigerian immigrants, raised Christian, lived among Muslims her whole childhood — said it on national radio without hedging, without apologizing, and without softening it for the audience.

“For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.”
