This woman has my utmost respect she gives a voice to the thoughts, frustrations, and feelings of millions across the UK who feel unheard. 🇬🇧

She’s absolutely spot on, speaking the truth with a conviction that cuts through the noise. 💯

Ultimate respect to this woman. 👏🏻

🇬🇧 This is proper British (oh hush you progressives)

A 76 year old man is before the courts with a test of equality before the law! … pay attention.

Timothy Miller was arrested for wearing a burka at an anti-migration protest. So he’s turned up to court wearing it AGAIN!

Because Section 157 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 provides a defence for face coverings worn for religious observance… It doesn’t say ONLY women. It doesn’t say ONLY Muslims.

And the Equality Act protects religion or belief, while Article 9 protects the freedom to CHANGE religion. And clever Mr Miller says he’s “exploring Islam”

So now the court is screwed (not a legal technical term) and must decide whether his actions qualify as ‘religious observance’

Because the law must be applied EQUALLY, regardless of sex, religion or political opinions.

He’s challenging whether equality before the law really means equality for EVERYONE. (I think I love him)

And I think that’s bloody brilliant!.. now we have to see if the law is going to show its cards! … Will it discriminate against this white man? exploring his religion? … of course it will.

And then you will know … that this brave man took one for the team.

Come on Team Britain 💣

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

I’m Polish. If France is your future, I come from the end of that road.

France shows you the slow version. We lived the full one – the version where the state doesn’t just take care of everything. It owns everything.

In Poland it arrived with Soviet bayonets. In America it would arrive by vote – slower, softer, with better slogans. But the destination is the same, and so is the mechanism.

It starts with prices. When the state decides what things should cost, prices stop telling the truth. A price is a message: this is scarce, this is wanted, make more of this. Abolish the message, and the whole economy goes deaf. So the shelves emptied – first of meat, then of almost everything.

Every Pole knew the joke. A man walks into a shop: "No meat?" The clerk: "No, sir. Here is no fish. No meat is across the street."

We queued for everything. People wrote their place in line on their palms and kept lists through the night. You waited years for a small car, and often more than a decade for an apartment. Not because Poles were lazy. Because nobody in the system had any reason to produce what we needed.

At work, we had another joke: we pretended to work, and they pretended to pay us.

And the promise of equality? It produced the most unequal system of all. The party elite had their own shops – Poles called them the shops behind the yellow curtains. Those with dollars shopped in special stores. Everyone else got the queue.

Then the system needed informers, because nobody believed in it anymore. Our neighbors were recruited to report on us. You never knew who was listening – the colleague, the friend, sometimes family. So we learned to live a double life: one language in public, another at home.

Those who spoke up got the wolf ticket: no job, no promotion, sometimes no university place for their children. Nobody needed to send them to prison. They just couldn’t live.

The newspapers reported record harvests while the shelves stood empty. Everyone knew. Nobody said it. That is what a society looks like when the lie becomes the system.

In 1950 we were about as rich as Spain. By 1989, Spain was twice as rich. That is what forty years of "fairness" cost us.

Today in America, the method is softer. Your neighbor won’t inform on you to the secret police. Someone will report your post, and you’ll be cancelled – no job, no account, no platform. Different tools, same machine.

We got out. Ten million of us joined Solidarity, and in 1989 a system that looked eternal collapsed. Since then, Poland has become one of the great success stories of Europe – because people were finally free to build.

But we still carry it. More than thirty years later, you can see it in the careful answers, the closed faces - the system leaves faster than the fear does. It takes generations to get out of it fully once you fall into that trap.

Nobody votes for the queue. Nobody votes for the informer. They come with the promise.

Trust me, you don’t want to go down that road.

ONE GIRL WAS THROWN FROM A MOVING CAR. ANOTHER WAS BURNED. SIX RETURNED WITH SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES. FOUR BECAME PREGNANT.

Some were just 13 years old. These were children in the care of Birmingham City Council. Girls who should have been protected by the very authorities responsible for their safety.

In 1991, Dr Jill Jesson exposed what was happening to them. She identified links to Asian private-hire drivers and subsequently revealed that she had been ordered to remove the ethnicity of the men from her findings.

Copies of her report were ordered destroyed. Birmingham councillors later voted against an inquiry. Years later, the council investigated itself and declared there had been no cover-up.

NOW LOOK AT THE POLITICIANS REPRESENTING BIRMINGHAM.

Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, became the Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls. When demands for a government-led grooming gangs inquiry were made, she rejected Oldham's request and supported powerless locally led investigations instead. Are we to believe she did not know what was happening in her own backyard?

And then there is Shabana Mahmood.

Mahmood has represented Birmingham Ladywood since 2010. Her own website proudly documents years of campaigning for Palestine. But where is the equivalent record of her campaigning for the girls sexually exploited in her own city? Where was her campaign to uncover what happened to the Jill Jesson Report?

Mahmood is now the Home Secretary, responsible for the national statutory grooming gangs inquiry.

A FOR BIRMINGHAM TODAY

98 live child sexual exploitation investigations. Six suspected grooming gangs roaming the streets. Two private-hire drivers stripped of their licences following police intelligence about potential sexual offences against children.

And the ethnicity of the men involved is still hidden.

My latest article follows the evidence through successive Birmingham administrations. I identify the politicians, chief executives and senior officials who held power when the decisions were made, and set out who Baroness Longfield must now call to account.

Read it here and get ready for my live transmission where I line by line analyse the Jesson Report.

Unfortunately, we are reaching the end of the road where I can continue working this way.

The paid subscriptions have stalled. Worse, tens of thousands of people are now reading these articles without even joining the free mailing list. The audience is growing, but the number of people actually standing behind the work is not growing with it.
This is becoming impossible to sustain.

You know what we are up against. The mainstream media will not touch my work. Institutions I investigate do not volunteer their records. Politicians do not suddenly decide to hold themselves to account.

And yet, despite all of that, we forced the national inquiry. We did that because enough ordinary people refused to go away.

But getting the inquiry was never the end of this campaign. In many ways it was only the beginning. Now we have to watch where it goes, what it investigates, which places it avoids, which witnesses it calls, which records it obtains and whether the same institutions that failed these children are allowed to control the story again.

Nobody else is going to do that work for us. And I cannot do it indefinitely working on my own. That is why I keep talking about 50,000 committed subscribers.

It is not a vanity number. I did not pluck it out of the air. With fifty thousand people with me means when we uncover something important, it does not depend on a newspaper editor, a television producer or an algorithm deciding whether you are allowed to see it.

It gives us reach they cannot easily shut down.

But there is another reason. I need to build a proper backroom operation around this work. At the moment I am investigating, researching, writing, publishing, producing the videos, running the newsletter, dealing with the technology and then starting again. It is unsustainable.

I need people behind me who can take care of the technical and production work so that I can spend my time doing the thing I do best. That is why we have been pushing so hard for new paid subscribers.

Gaslighter talks about gas prices.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.

The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.

But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.

That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.

It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

@PennyMordaunt @MartinSLewis Small ideas
1. Don't post a blind link to money saving expert.
2. Know the difference between males and females.
3. Recognise your credibility won't be restored by latching on to reputable figures.

'Wow, I thought, this would make an incredible opening scenario for a dystopian thriller novel about a dying Britain, something like Children of Men but with even worse politicians. Police demanding papers off law-abiding British war veterans just trying to get home. Dogs howling at shivering and perplexed Hampshire pensioners, worried about their gas bills, even as vigorous young Syrians are warmly ushered to a warm Kentish buffet breakfast, courtesy of the Home Office...'

He lives in Britain and was granted UK citizenship. The Muslim Brotherhood brings him to universities to lecture students, while he openly calls for your deaths in HD. You call him an activist. In the UAE, we call this terrorism and ban the Muslim Brotherhood. You don’t.

‘I want to be honest’ but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I want to be honest about how we’ve got to a place where British billpayers are paying some of the highest energy costs in Europe.

Over the past 40 years, we’ve given up control of our necessities, outsourced our essentials and privatised the basics. Water, transport, housing. And of course, energy.

Now the public are paying the price. We haven’t invested in the infrastructure we need. Conflict overseas has pushed up energy costs and it’s hurting our businesses and families.

That’s why we need to take back greater control of our energy system.

This week, I announced Great British Grid, which will speed up connections and push down bills.

We’re also giving mayors, local leaders and communities a stronger role. With funding for People’s Power projects, communities will be able to build solar panels on libraries and town halls, hydro schemes in rivers or publicly owned windfarms on local land.

But it’s not just energy we need stronger public control over. It’s also water, housing, transport and care.

So we’re repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies. We’re building more council homes than this country has seen since the end of World War Two.

We’re reforming the leasehold system so families aren’t squeezed for every penny. And we’re opening up home ownership for first time buyers who can’t rely on the bank of mum and dad.

This week I also announced my determination to introduce a National Care Service, to put people above profit and to give pensioners peace of mind.

Together, we’ll rewire the country from top to bottom so that it works for all people in all places.

That is the only way to put Britain back on the right path. It’s the only way to put power back in people’s hands. And it’s the only way we will bring hope again.

[Centre for Policy Studies @CPSThinkTank]

Fifty years ago, Britain was in crisis. The music was good, but the economy was a mess. We were forced to go to the International Monetary Fund for a deeply-damaging bailout.

The UK needed a new direction - that's why Margaret Thatcher and Keith Joseph founded the Centre for Policy Studies. A full half century on, our new Director, the economist and journalist @LiamHalligan, is arguing for another policy revolution now: lower taxes, cheaper energy, affordable welfare, an economy that rewards work and enterprise.

Britain’s problems are urgent – we're on the brink of another bailout. But we changed course fifty years ago - and with the right ideas, we can do so again.

The Centre for Policy Studies - where the fightback begins.

[John @thebigcowblack]

@rorysutherland Maybe that’s why he solved it?

[John @thebigcowblack]

@EmmaLewell Bollocks. Network rail is Govt owned and is the main reason for delays. They are constantly replacing old track with inadequate new track which only has a 4 year shelf life. They are also responsible for the fencing which is also substandard.

Fairness is what unites us in this country.

And a fair society is what unlocks the very best of us.

Because when people think this country is fair they are more open and generous to others.
