Hält der Zug EC217 von Mannheim nach Bludenz am 19.08.26 tatsächlich in Lindau-Reutin oder in Friedrichshafen? Ich weiß, dass es von Friedrichshafen aus einen Ersatzbus gibt, aber ich muss nach Lindau-Reutin.

My grandfather lived in this house

I remember cycling after him down the road as a kid and I couldn’t keep up - he was so big and strong

He worked at Farmer Norton’s steel factory on Silk Street in Salford as a chargehand

When my parents divorced, my brother and I would visit here a lot

It was a confusing time, I wasn’t quite sure what was going on

Like everybody else in my family he was working-class

On the other side, my maternal grandmother grew up in Llanelli, Wales, in complete poverty

Her father, my great-grandfather, worked down the mines

She sang in the local choir and was so good she became one of the first women to win a Blue Riband at the Eisteddford - a big deal

She was then sent to sing for the troops - during World War Two - which is where she met my maternal grandfather on a boat in the Indian Ocean

He was from working-class Brixton and fought for the Chindits, behind enemy lines, in Burma

All my grandparents were the same

They all struggled

They all worked hard

They all played by the rules

And they all believed in Britain

Visiting my grandad’s house yesterday was emotional

I thought of that boy who struggled to keep up with his granddad

I thought about how lost and confused I felt at that time

And now here I am standing for Parliament

Not only the first person in my family to go to university but actually standing for Parliament!

Many people on the Left want you to think that I am a bad person with divisive views

But it’s not true

I just want to live in a country where people like my grandparents are treated with decency and respect

Where people who work hard, who play by the rules, and who contribute to our country are put first - where they belong

This should not be controversial

This should not be a lot to ask for

But our politicians lost their way

So I am asking you to question the narratives you are being fed and, if you would like, come and join me in this positive and optimistic campaign to turn our country around

“My friends gave their lives for what, the country of today?”

“The sacrifice wasn't worth the result”

These are powerful words from a true patriot.

🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country:

"Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result.

I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

Amazing, why is it only @GBNEWS that look at what’s really happening with the illegal boats? Well done @PatrickChristys - keep safe!

[Emily Carver @CarverEmily]

Very proud of @PatrickChristys tonight! Fantastic coverage from Calais. If you're not tuned into @GBNEWS right now, you should be. Night has very much descended - keep safe!!!! x

Reform controlled English councils will move at speed to resolve that the *only* flags permitted to be flown on or in its buildings will be the Union Jack and the St George’s flag.

No other flags will be permitted to be flown on its flag-poles, balconies, reception desks or council-chamber walls. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

None of these farms exist

All are works of fiction by @Tesco supermarkets

This #FarmWashing practice should be made illegal, it deceives consumers and makes nonsense of @RedTractorFood traceability

Food labelling should be clear, country of origin should be clear #BuyBritish
