@mattlynnwriter Obviously she hadn't done any homework, nor attended any treasury briefings in the 6 months prior to the election. Shocked my ass!

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Anyone else think Andy Burnham being installed as Prime Minister on Monday is deeply weird and unsettling?

At least when the Tories pulled this handover stunt there were multiple hustings and people got to know the candidates.

This has a banana republic feel. Not British.

I've gone to work for 50 years
Payed my taxes
Brought my kids up right
Gone without if it couldn't be afforded
Obeyed the law.
It is now UNACCEPTABLE to me that my children's future is being shit on, so these corrupt rat CUNTS can continue to steal my money.

@Sassafrass_84 See Brett Weinstein on Rogan explain how women not having children are turning their maternal instincts in to zealous protection of their social fear and belief systems.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

Unpopular opinion but I am going to say it.

Women shouldn’t be in positions of power.

Liberal women are the reason why our society has decayed so much.

I said what I said.

@AdrianRamsay Oh and also 40 days of rain in the first 3 months of 2026. Reservoirs anyone?

[Stan @stanbmde]

@AdrianRamsay We are having a one in 50 year hot summer. It's weather not climate. Hosepipe bans result from adding 20 million to the population and not building any new reservoirs for 30 years.

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

In her final major speech as Chancellor, Rachel Reeves claimed Labour had “fixed the foundations”.

Really?

Payroll jobs are down.
Borrowing is up.
Debt interest is enormous.
Taxes are rising.
Business confidence is weak.
GDP per head is under pressure.

Labour did not fix the foundations.

It taxed prosperity and weakened the economy built on top of them.

So what comes next?

More of the same, even worse — or finally something better?

[Nick Buckley MBE @NickBuckleyMBE]

Cancel ALL work Visas NOW! We do not need any foreign workers - not even one. It is all a lie that we need them. We have nearly 10 million people on some sort of out of work benefit. Immigration is one huge con.

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

Currently in the UK...

15 Year Olds are not allowed to be on Social Media because The Government says so.

5 Year Old Children are now permitted to take Puberty Blockers because The Government says so.

This is pure evil.

@ValerieAnne1970 And sick.

Rachel Reeves promised to make growth her “number one mission”.

Today’s result? Just 0.1% growth in May, after the economy shrank in April.

Production fell 0.5%. Construction fell 0.8%.

After two years of higher taxes and a weakening jobs market, Britain is still barely moving.

Rachel Reeves will be gone soon — and frankly, it’s about time.

🚨BREAKING: At the last minute the India-UK Trade Deal was changed to give Indian workers in the UK a national insurance exemption up to FIVE YEARS (previously three)

Labour are literally incentivising British companies to hire Indians over Brits

Treason
