Mark Curtis: I reflect on impunity for UK ministers…
I reflect on impunity for UK ministers and why defence secretary John Healey is still at large after authorising British military support for Israel during a genocide (begins around 14.30).
David Frost: The government has not got a single thing…
The government has not got a single thing worth having out of the EU in this "reset" negotiation. It's one concession after another. It's an absolute shocker. The reason is, of course, they aren't trying. They just want to tie us to the EU & they don't care what it costs.
Alice Smith: The government isn’t acting…
The government isn’t acting in a generous or compassionate way when it gives you services or welfare. Government takes a lot away from you quietly, then gives some back loudly, minus a large cut for themselves.
Andrew Bridgen: Majority of British people do not want…
Majority of British people do not want to undo Brexit powers The majority of MPs never wanted to leave the EU and still don’t. If our MPs think the EU can legislate better laws for our country than they can they should immediately resign their seats.
Edwin Hayward: Brexit damaged Britain's trade in goods…
Brexit damaged Britain's trade in goods. Brexit didn't affect Britain's trade in services v much. Taken together, Britain's trade in goods and services is higher than before Brexit. But the damage Brexit caused left them lower than they would have been had Brexit not happened.
David Kurten: Much of what pretends to be 'right wing'…
Much of what pretends to be 'right wing' is just gays, Jews and feminists against Muslims and trannies. They are a mirror of the Cultural Marxist left and will undermine freedom and implement digital surveillance technocracy just as extensively. Be aware.
Liz Webster: Voters see Brexit as a “big disappointment”…
🚨 Voters see Brexit as a “big disappointment” and “not worth it” resulting in a rise in support for rejoining the EU. The decision to leave the EU has “not withstood the test of time” and is blamed for making immigration and the economy worse, says Professor Sir John Curtice. Prof Curtice says: “The 2016 referendum has failed to resolve the debate about whether Britain should be inside or outside the EU. The country now finds itself outside an institution of which a modest majority at least would like to be a member. “For the time being at least, a significant body of voters have decided that being outside the EU is not worth it.”
Aaron Bastani: I spoke to dozens of Labour…
I spoke to dozens of Labour voters in Makerfield today. ONE said that Burnham wasn’t a factor in their decision. Even multiple Reform voters said they liked him. Maybe talk to these people @Keir_Starmer ? Leave the bunker?
Alex Wickham: NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read…
NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read — Andy Burnham’s campaign is increasingly confident he’s going to win Makerfield. They believe he’s edged ahead of Reform this week in part due to what they see as Nigel Farage mishandling the Henry Nowak case and Robert Kenyon’s poor public performances. — It means the conversation has turned to what happens next, actively encouraged by Burnham who is now in the extraordinary position of making national policy announcements despite previously saying he was focused on the by-election. Labour MPs are split: some (his supporters) want a Burnham coronation and others think there should be a full leadership election. — Allies of Keir Starmer are defiant and insist he will fight any contest. One says they don’t believe Starmer will simply give up because he strongly believes in his mandate. Another says polling shows Starmer still has support among Labour members. Crucially, they say he would see it as a dereliction of duty to agree a handover to someone with no clear plan for power, whose policies are unknown and haven’t been put to a vote. — Still, Burnham supporters say they hope Starmer and Wes Streeting see their man is the only viable successor. They say they’ll lobby the cabinet to tell Starmer not to force a contest and to agree an orderly handover. They argue there doesn’t need to be a full leadership election. Their preference is for a coronation, either immediately or with an agreed handover date. — One option suggested by some Burnham supporters is that Starmer stays in post for a few more months to manage ongoing crises from Iran to Ukraine and the NATO summit in July. That would give Burnham time to formulate a plan for government ahead of an agreed handover later in the year. (The risk is this looks like an admission he doesn’t have a plan.) — Other Labour MPs are adamant there has to be a proper contest. Wes Streeting tells Bloomberg he will not allow a coronation. Burnham allies think he doesn’t have the numbers and in any case can be bought off with a cabinet job. Still, one MP warns that failing to scrutinise Burnham in a contest risks a repeat of Gordon Brown’s unopposed takeover from Tony Blair in which they say his ideas weren’t tested, only storing up problems for later. — Officially Burnham says these conversations are premature, stressing he isn’t complacent or taking anything for granted. That said, he really is having his cake and eating it, claiming to be focusing on local issues and refusing to engage on some of the harder national policy questions then openly opining on others when it suits him, especially in the last 24 hours. It isn’t going down well with some in the Labour Party. — Labour officials think Farage overcompensated with his rhetoric this week because he’s worried about Restore. Reform officials insist Farage is in tune with voters despite what Westminster thinks, and to expect more of the same in the weeks and months ahead. Both Labour and Reform officials still say the by-election is close. Story with @Joe_Mayes >>>
Pat Condell: If you tell the police you’re protesting…
If you tell the police you’re protesting against climate change or racism they’ll bring you refreshments, go down on one knee for you, let you violate people’s civil rights and vandalise property. The moment they see a British flag they become a hostile paramilitary force.Andrew Bridgen: Digital ID and future lockdowns…
“Digital ID and future lockdowns due to energy” “We go from crisis to crisis with a constant loss of liberty “- Claudio GrassAlice Smith: The West won’t solve its current problems…
The West won’t solve its current problems unless we move from representative democracy to direct democracy. We vote in political representatives on manifesto promises they immediately ignore upon gaining power, then do whatever they like between elections.Alex Wickham: Breaking: Keir Starmer accuses JD Vance…
Breaking: Keir Starmer accuses JD Vance of interfering in British democracy and attempting to stir up unrest on British streets This is the strongest condemnation yet by Starmer of the Trump administration Number 10 says: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets. “The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes. “Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”
Gideon Rachman: I suspect Vance’s intervention in British politics…
I suspect Vance’s intervention in British politics will be as ineffective and counterproductive as his intervention on behalf of Viktor Orban in Hungary.
Rachael Swindon: Vance crying migrant invasion…
Vance crying migrant invasion while his own country is a world-leader in school shootings, opioid deaths, and locking up more of its own people than any nation on Earth. Shut the fuck up, hillbilly.
James Foster: You know what…
You know what: I think he can. There will be so many coming out of the woodwork that unless they’re united behind a single successor, there’s a world @Keir_Starmer stays. It’s going to be a disaster at the next election — and the Labour Party are doing what the Tories did.
Lee Hurst: Only the public sector grows…
Only the public sector grows. It’s Labour buying votes with your taxes and borrowed money. Of course it will inevitably collapse on itself.

How did the British go from Empire to quietly accepting: Their daughters’ industrial R-PE Their sons murdered in the street And any DEFILMENT no matter how grave? This video exposes the 1,000-year training program. Find out more →
Kathy Gyngell: MPs typically (and shamefully)…
MPs typically (and shamefully) 'outraged' at Farage's home truths. And the key truth is that the more 'in denial' and the more inadequate the government's response the real outrage of Nowak's death, the more radicalised the population will become.Lee Hurst: This is a straightforward observation…
This is a straightforward observation by Leo Kearse. The Lefturds need division in our communities to control us which is why they do things like this to wind us up. No amount of protests will change this, it will simply give them what they want. We need to take the power away from them. They got it at the ballot box and that’s where we will take it away from them. Vote Reform and we can change all this.
Adam Brooks: The Government and many on the left…
The Government and many on the left want us to stop talking about the treatment of Henry Nowak. It’s because it highlights just how far that anti-white sentiment has infected our Police, our judiciary, our civil service and our Government. The racist documents are there for all to see.Pat Condell: We need juries because judges are politicised…
We need juries because judges are politicised and can’t be trusted. What do we do when juries can’t be trusted either? There’s a growing perception that when Muslims are on a jury the Muslim defendant can expect to walk free and the native Brit can expect to be convicted. True?
Clr Brian Silvester: So-called mainstream media really…
So-called mainstream media really are a disgrace. Virtually all of them have decided that Burnham will win & are discussing his Cabinet & what he will do as PM etc.If I was a Makerfield voter I would vote against Burnham to spite the media's & Labour's arrogance & hubris.James Foster: What…
What @Nigel_Farage , @RobertJenrick , @ZiaYusufUK , @TiceRichard et al are showing is that they are extremists. We must never - NEVER - allow them anywhere near the levers of power. They are toxic trash. (NB. That doesn’t mean I endorse Starmer!!!)Lee Hurst: What we’ve learned from Labour…
What we’ve learned from Labour and the Tories this week… Farage expressing outrage, at the murder of Henry Nowak, is worse than expressing zero interest and addressing none of the issues that led to the fatal outcome.David Kurten: Two-tier policing has led to the death…
Two-tier policing has led to the death of Henry Nowak and the enabling of grooming and rape gangs over 40 years. The sick ideology of Cultural Marxism that has caused it, needs to be purged from our country and our civilisation.Lee Hurst: Do remember to remind a Lefturd…
Do remember to remind a Lefturd, if they ever invoke Robin Hood as a good man for robbing from the rich to give to the poor that… He was robbing the tax collector who had taken money from the poor and returned it to them. If Robin Hood were around today, he would be robbing HMRC ie, this Lefturd govt, NOT the rich.
June Slater: Andy Burnham is talking about Makerfield…
Andy Burnham is talking about Makerfield like it's been let down by consecutive MPs. Makerfield has been in Labour hands for 43 years What does that tell you about Burnham. Party before country Self before party THEY HAVE A LABOUR MP Get Labour out 💥
David Poulden: The far left has infiltrated our institutions…
The far left has infiltrated our institutions. Government, local councils, police, fire service, NHS, and schools. They're pushing woke ideology and indoctrinating our kids. It's time to call it out, fight back, and remove them from power.Read more
