Well done to Signal for speaking up.
It's obvious that this isn't really about keeping children safe, it's about giving the state greater surveillance powers over ordinary citizens.
The same politicians claiming the moral high ground on child protection are the ones who voted against a national rape gang inquiry.
Forgive me if I don't take their lectures on safeguarding seriously.
Kemi Badenoch said tonight that she would ban the hate marches, remove the hate preachers, and take a much tougher line on people who have come here from cultures where antisemitism and hatred is normal.
That is exactly the strength Britain needs.
Keir Starmer: “Foreigners are trying to interfere in our democracy”
Meanwhile: Labour sent nearly 100 party staff to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris in swing states.
Turns out interference is only good when he’s doing it.
Last year, more than 600,000 non-EU migrants came to Britain.
Meanwhile, over a hundred thousand young British people left.
Mass migration is wrecking opportunity for young people. When I asked the Home Secretary about this, she didn't even pretend to answer the question.
359 civil servants.
Currently working from Greek and Spanish holiday resorts.
140 of them from Ed Miliband’s department.
The same department whose minister said “further slippage is not acceptable.”
Meanwhile ordinary British families are skipping holidays this summer because they can’t afford them.
This is not flexible working. This is one rule for them.
Another for everyone else.
Given the continuing inability of Iran and the US to re open sea lanes for commerce, what plans does the UK government have to help secure reliable supplies of fertiliser and oil products? Why no plans to produce more at home?
‘I’m glad it’s front-page news and is being found out.’
Journalist Clare Muldoon expresses her outrage as a report reveals that Covid grants had been funnelled to terrorist and criminal organisations, which had taken more than £28 billion of taxpayers’ money.
Nationwide building society doubles CEO’s pay to £4.7m.
Workers got 3.8% rise.
Members denied a binding vote on exec pay.
A member prevented from standing for board election by insiders.

An Iranian woman in Germany says:
“I came from Iran and I am in Germany because Islam destroyed my life there. Now, I am afraid that Sharia will come here too.”
The absolute nerve of this PLONKER. You actually could not write it.
They couldn't get digital ID through the front door. Every time they tried Britain pushed back. So they brought it through the back door.
With children as the shield.
Age verification doesn't stop at under 16s. Everyone proves their age. Everyone submits ID. Everyone goes into the database. And once that infrastructure exists it never goes away. It always expands.
They're not just talking about social media. Autoplay. Infinite scrolling. Like buttons. Location sharing. Livestreaming. Read that list again. That's not things that harm children. That's things that keep adults asking questions. Sharing information. Organising. Resisting.
Powers bypass Parliament. No scrutiny. No debate. No vote. VPNs being considered for banning. For children. For now. It always starts somewhere.
Every government that has moved to control the internet has used children as the justification. Every single one. China. Russia. Iran. North Korea. And now Britain.
But if this was really about protecting children he'd be confronting the 64% of child sexual abuse that's physical. Not online. He'd be publishing the data on who's doing it. He'd be facing his own record as DPP during the peak grooming gang years when a Rochdale victim wasn't considered credible despite DNA evidence and the abuse continued.
Foreign nationals convicted of sexual assault at 2.24 times the rate of British nationals. Rape convictions 142% higher. That data buried for years. IT'S STILL HAPPENING. 1,797 arrests in one year. 1,200 children safeguarded every single month. Arrests going UP not down.
But he's talking about autoplay and like buttons.
Digital ID is the key. Children are the door. And once that infrastructure exists it never goes away.
Every click tracked. Every search logged. Every dissenting voice identified.
And whoever controls the internet CONTROLS THE CONVERSATION.
When this government said they are clamping down on car wash businesses, vape shops & pizza companies hiring illegal workers what they failed to mention is that all they’ll do is fine these companies.
4 in our local area raided & have just been given a fine & you know full well they won’t pay up & they won’t close them down.
Smoke & Mirrors.
1,300+ deaths a month in England due to long A&E waits, tenfold rise in a decade.
Years of austerity take toll as govts cuddle fiscal rules to appease the City of London.
NHS budgets drained by PFI and privatisation of services.
Democide normalised.

People are tragically dying each month waiting for treatment in our emergency departments. Meanwhile, 13 doctors are turned away for every one who gets an A&E training job.
We need a sustainable solution to the workforce crisis. It will help to save lives.

‘Not enough money and not enough thinking about this in advance.’
Former Royal Navy Officer James Gater says the conditions of five submarines awaiting repair and unfit for war are an inevitable consequence of a lack of investment in Britain’s armed forces.
This is how Lebanon went from being a prosperous Christian nation to being ruled by Muslims. Pay close attention!
“As Christians, we opened our doors to Muslims, and welcomed them into our country. We wanted to be inclusive and even made them part of the government.
But due to having several wives and many children, Muslims became the majority. Once they were the majority, they thought they could do whatever they wanted, and began massacring the Christians who welcomed them.”
