Liz Truss was forced to resign when gilt yields reached 4.42%.
Under Andy Burnham they are now standing at 6.00%
Shouldn’t Andy Burnham resign or be calling a General election ?
🚨BREAKING! @Nigel_Farage states what I have been stressing for a while now which is that
“it is not about left vs right. It is about being a normal country, that controls its borders, puts the interest of their people first, encourage success, teaches the bad as well as good history to their children and plain common sense”
I’ve never heard Ant Middleton speak, certainly not to give a speech like this. I have to say I’m impressed. I knew he was backing Reform (wise man) but this goes a step further imo.
Well done @antmiddleton 🩵🇬🇧
A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.
Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:
This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed.
The agent explained:
“Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name.
He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’
During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’
When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him.
After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President?
After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine?
After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE?
Trump RUINED me.
He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again.
That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.”
Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.
Journalist: "You're selling raw milk at the farm gate. Unpasteurised. That's a public health hazard."
Dairyman: "What's pasteurising for?"
Journalist: "Killing dangerous bacteria."
Dairyman: "From where?"
Journalist: "The milk."
Dairyman: "The muck, the bucket and the cow. It came in when town milk was from sick cows in sheds behind the pub, carted warm for a day and topped up at the pump. They couldn't clean the dairy, so they cooked the milk."
Journalist: "And you think you're above all that."
Dairyman: "I think I'm inspected. The herd's TB tested. A man comes twice a year and goes through the parlour with a torch. The milk goes to a lab 4 times a year. One bad result and I'm shut that afternoon."
Journalist: "People have been made ill by raw milk."
Dairyman: "By dirty milk, same as dirty anything. 2 summers ago near 300 people in this country went down with E. coli. It was lettuce, out of a sandwich. How's the campaign against salad going?"
Journalist: "Salad doesn't carry the same risk."
Dairyman: "Salad doesn't carry a label. Every bottle I sell has a warning on it by law. Find me that on an energy drink, a vape or a bag of rocket."
Journalist: "So you accept it's risky."
Dairyman: "I accept I'm the only thing in your fridge that's been made to say so. My customers drive 40 minutes past 3 supermarkets, read the warning and buy 6 litres. Best-informed shoppers in Britain."
Journalist: "The experts advise against it."
Dairyman: "The experts advised margarine. People round here have drunk this for a few thousand years. I'll give the experts time to settle down."
People pay a lot of money to go see an artist they love & listen to their music, there is a time & place for political statements & a music concert isn't one of them....
A company with just £62,733 in net assets, no employees, and one director gave Angela Rayner £150,000... and the entire British media is silent?
Labour’s media cheerleaders won’t touch it. The BBC, Guardian and the rest act like it’s completely normal?
Democracy she said...
Piddington have voted to leave the United Kingdom 😂
The very same people that voted Lib Dem’s.
As I have said for years, it’s amazing how the do gooders change their opinion when it affects them.
Refugees welcome here- but not on my doorstep!
THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON A VILLAGE OF 350!!
You can hear it in her voice. The pain. The fear. Not a speech. A woman who already knows what is coming.
One hundred and thirty-three women in Piddington. More than a thousand fighting-age foreign men due next door. Ten to one. From the Third World.
Men who are not compatible with this culture or this society. Free to walk out after dark, through a village with no shop, no pub, no light.
Those women wrote to every female MP in Parliament. Two hundred and sixty-six of them.
Four replied. Two hundred and sixty-two turned their backs.
They just don't give a shit about the British people especially frightened women who desperately pleaded for help.
A small community of women about to be outnumbered ten to one, begging for safeguarding, and the women in Westminster could not even pick up the letter.
Listen to her voice.
She already understands. Nobody is coming.
Since 2010, the established parties have taken nearly £1 billion in donations, and handed out dozens of peerages in return.
In their first year, Labour handed out £138 million of government contracts to their donors. The Tories are just as bad.
You know what Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne want?
Nothing. Just a government that will fix Britain.
And that's what Reform UK will deliver.
I'm proud to have the support of some of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs.
A self-made British billionaire moves back home, puts his money where his mouth is, and backs Reform UK with £36 MILLION.
Ben Delo’s donation is the biggest single political donation in British history, and a thumping vote of confidence in Reform’s mission to change Britain.
And remember the scale of the head start enjoyed by the old parties. Since Reform was created in 2021, the Conservatives have raised around £150m, Labour £128m, while Reform had raised just £38m before this donation.
So no, this does not make Reform the establishment. It helps level a playing field that has been tilted towards Labour and the Tories for years.
While the media establishment has spent months predicting Reform’s collapse, a self-made British entrepreneur has chosen to come home and back the party he believes can actually win and govern.
That money means campaign managers, serious talent, proper preparation and a comprehensive plan for government.
A patriot comes home. Backs Reform. £36 million.
The message is clear: Reform means business.
Well, what to say about Durham County Council and @ReformDurham? They deserve to be in the news. They deserve national coverage, for everything they're delivering for residents in County #Durham. How's this?
🇬🇧 Scrapped stupid net zero schemes with no business case and found tens of millions in savings.
🇬🇧 Delivered lowest council increase with no use of reserves in the United Kingdom (just 1.99%)
🇬🇧 Investing £264m in the County with new schools providing 200 SEN places, more disability support and AI digital infrastructure to make things even more efficient.
🇬🇧 Scrapped the climate emergency and declared a social care emergency.
🇬🇧 Vowed to re-industrialise the county and to protect farmers.
🇬🇧 Brought in new rules to enable them to resist new HMOs and support communities
🇬🇧 Saved the county tens of millions by re-negotiating major waste contracts and by pulling out of the very expensive repair of Milburngate, which the Lib Dems had committed them to.
🇬🇧 Through scrutiny of the proposed TVERF (Energy Recovery Facility/Incinerator) project, secured the best deal for the people of County Durham (and wider North East), with savings of c73m vs initial tender submission
🇬🇧 £26m investment in the new Villa Real SEND school, and a further £33m investment in SEND provision generally.
🇬🇧 Major investment in tackling homelessness through the provision of new temporary accommodation
🇬🇧 Significant improvements for towns and villages enhancements, developing local community assets and restoring civic pride
🇬🇧 Investing in facilities to keep disabled people living independently in their own homes.
🇬🇧 Reduced borrowing by £21.3m, resulting in a net revenue saving in capital financing costs of £720k.
🇬🇧 Opened a new play area and tower at Hardwick Park, with cafe refurbishment works scheduled for the new year.
🇬🇧 Highways improvements have resulted in pothole reports falling by a third, with data showing that they're delivering better quality and larger scale repairs.
🇬🇧 Construction has started on a new Bishop Auckland leisure centre.
That's not a bad list is it, for 12 months in the job?! Thrown in at the deep end in 2025 with a HUGE win, a group of 60+ people from all walks of life coming together for the first time to do something new. Yes there have been challenges - inevitable! - but my god they're cracking on with some good stuff for Durham residents.

Labour has no right to sacrifice the Chagossian people’s homeland - at vast expense to British taxpayers. 🇮🇴🇬🇧

I was watching Lee Anderson’s speech with a brew and I’m still chuckling. Lib Dems holding their conference in a bus shelter in York, Tories crammed in a broom cupboard. This is what proper working class politics looks like. No posh waffle, just common sense and a pint after. Enjoy him while we’ve got him. 😆 @LeeAndersonMP_
