Labour promised their Education Tax would mean more teachers.
But that was never true. It was always about Bridget Phillipson’s class war.
Now our children are paying the price.
This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.
A new poll shows that, by more than 2 to 1, British voters would rather keep the right to set their own regulations than have greater access to EU markets.
That is the only question that truly matters, and is why talk of joining the EU is for the birds.

30,000 pupils pushed into state schools by Labour’s tax on private schools.
But 1,900 fewer teachers in state schools to teach them.
Labour are killing our education sector.
In almost any other household, if a man suddenly parked a brand new £125,000 motorhome in the driveway - and acquired other new vehicles - his wife would ask where on earth he got the money from.
A farmer dies in April 2026.
His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.
The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.
On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.
In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.
The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.
The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.
A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.
The Treasury collects £140,000.
The land never produces British food again.
Wow, what a woman.
Kudos @MaeveHalligan ✊
And congrats to @LiamHalligan for raising such a young woman. I’d be brimming with pride if this were my child ❤️
Bravo, @Keir_Starmer, for getting in an Adviser on Women and Girls who thinks the definition of women and girls includes men and boys. That'll definitely win back people who believe Labour's a party for smug, lanyard-wearing, luxury-belief-espousing cultural elitists. 1/2
Really? So why after 20 years of this policy are Danish households still paying some of the highest energy bills in the world? When will we ever reach your energy nirvana?
Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.
'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.
If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.
Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.
Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.
They are buying your votes.
This isn’t about giving struggling families help.
This is about ‘making mornings easier for all families’.
Do we really want the state doing everything for us? What about personal responsibility? How infantilising.
5ARD DSD athletes are not banned from women’s sport because they have male levels of testosterone - they are banned because they are males with male levels of testosterone. It’s so not complicated. They are not banned from sport. That’s pure gaslighting fiction, & emotional blackmailing. They are free to race with other males. The real problem is they’re not good enough to win there. And they know it. The problem is saying ‘ no more cheating’ to these males & their coaches after 26 yrs of allowing it, at the detriment of female athlete rights. Who as usual are less important than men’s feelings.
@AllisonPearson If it’s such a miracle drug, why are you not allowed to buy it privately through a pharmacy with a BMI of 28? Under 25 I can understand but why do you have to wait to be obese (over 30 BMI) before you can access it legally?
Now that @RachelReevesMP has delivered her Spring Statement highlighting her awful economic policies, and Labour’s spending spree using taxpayer’s money, it seems only right to dust off this clip of @RishiSunak …he was right…again
This what’s left of the Islamic Regime’s morality police headquarters.
The organization responsible for beating girls to death for the crime of showing their hair.
For raping teens and tossing their bodies over bridges to stage it as a “suicide.”
For kidnapping women right off the streets, never to be seen again.
The blood of countless Iranian women spilled inside these walls. All in the name of a perverted vision of Islamist “morality.”
This is such a hateful meme. Let me be clear- this man gave the UK free breakfast clubs. That's real action, right there! Us Labours are going from strength to strength! 🥀
We knew on Saturday that our allies in Canada and Australia had backed the action taken by the United States and Israel. Yet Keir Starmer still couldn’t tell the British people where our country stood or whether the UK would allow the use of our own airbases.
It took Iranian missiles hitting allies in the Middle East and a UK base in Cyprus before Starmer finally approved the use of our bases, and this morning the Foreign Secretary still can’t say if the Labour government supports the action against Iran.
Iran’s regime has funded international terrorism, attacked British nationals, brutally repressed its own citizens calling for freedom, and continues to try and develop a nuclear weapon. It should not be beyond our government to say they welcome the US-Israel taking action.
But, particularly in the wake of the by-election last week, the Labour government are too scared to say what is obvious to the rest of us. In towns and cities across Britain there are large blocs of voters – that Labour see as their voters – whose political loyalties are swayed by conflicts in the Middle East, not the British national interest.
So we watch our Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers squirm and obfuscate in interviews, because they cannot say what needs to be said because too many of their voters do not want to hear it.
It isn’t ‘international law’ or principle. It’s pure, partisan, political calculations from a party that has surrendered its right to govern our country. I will always act in our national interest.
