Another phenomenon I note from Burnham’s obvious favouring of one section of the North over the rest of the UK is how quickly this is pitting people against each other. Far from bringing the country together he’s creating or exacerbating regional divisions.
The SNP runs into the Laffer Curve: its 48% top rate of income tax (NICs on top) results in £22m LESS in tax revenues.
Don’t they teach economics in the land of Adam Smith any more?
Or does left-wing virtue signalling — I’m ‘taxing the rich’ more than you — trump everything?
Damn white middle classes and their luxury beliefs destroying all hope for the working classes and ethnic minorities.
Don’t want strict?
Don’t choose that school.🙄
They can take a running jump. 😠
@JamesMelville Where does Burnham’s South end and North begin? I was born in the North pursued my career in the South and now live in the Midlands. Is he trying to start a Civil War?
Of course Andy from Manchester is still working on Labour’s Chagos Surrender deal. He leads the same old Labour Party in government which appeases the demands of their left-wing lawyer friends and activists.
It’s the same old Labour Party which ignores our national interest and threats to our security just to keep their lefty pals in jobs and on side.
@wesstreeting@andyburnham OK, let’s see him run towards illegal immigration; social care; the welfare budget in general; building a 20 year bridge to net zero rather than following mad Ed Milliband’s agenda! Oh and growing the economy? I’ll wait…
@KevinASchofield Know one trusts Trump. He is the epitome of untrustworthy. He just has to be tolerated until he is no longer POTUS which will not be long (although it will seem very long)
This is Ramallah police station. The image captures the moment after a Palestinian mob lynched two Jews, and mutilated their bodies. Aziz Salha proudly shows his blood stained hands.
Ramallah is the city the Greens want to twin Manchester with.
Poland refused to accept Muslim immigrants and refugees.
Poland was called “Islamophobic.”
Today, Poland is the safest country in Europe.
Poland has no rape gangs or a single case of Islamic terrorism.
Poland was right.
🇵🇱
For thirty years, the British people voted for less immigration, and politicians did the opposite.
We have a state that ignores your vote, spends your money on priorities you never chose, and polices your speech when you dare to complain.
Whatever that is, it is not a government that serves its people.
A man crosses the Channel in a dinghy.
No skills. No money. No intention of working.
Then he brings over 22 family members.
None of them work.
None of them contribute.
All of them refuse to.
And what does the British taxpayer get told to do?
Hand over three large properties for free so the whole family can live off the state.
This isn’t compassion.
This is a system being deliberately exploited while working people struggle to pay their own rent and bills.
These migrants that come and have no skills or intention to work are a drain on this country’s already stretched resources.
How much longer are we expected to put up with this?
A woman whose entire identity must be hidden due to her religious and cultural expectations is awarded for "empowering British women. "
Can someone explain this to me please?
Nobody is ‘giving’ you anything. It’s your money. And the minuscule cut is overwhelmed by the massive rise in taxes since Labour came to power. I notice you weren’t complaining when I held Tory governments to account. I can’t see the strain of power is taking its toll. Chill for what’s left of your weekend. Another tough week coming up.
Heatwave anxiety can make you feel 'incredibly helpless' - here's how to manage it - BBC News
So the BBC pushes nonstop nonsense doomsayer climate hysteria in every "news" story and on every show. Then people like this daft woman get anxious about the looming end of the world and then the BBC write a story about it offering to help manage it. 🤪
Here's how the BBC can help "manage" it: Stop pushing the end-of-the-world climate hysteria and start reporting FACTS.

There was a far-Right terror plot targeting Muslims at Shrubland Hall in Suffolk last week, you'll have heard from the Government and media. What you may not have heard is that it didn't actually exist, says Steven Tucker. https://t.co/97VRfWUahx
