Gideon Rachman: I think most British people believe…
I think most British people believe in the basic principle that no matter who you vote for, the government will treat you equally under the law. Yusuf’s plan to put detention camps in Green voting areas violates that. It is trolling as public policy and I think will damage Reform
Carl Benjamin: It should really go without saying…
It should really go without saying that punitive partisan policies that target sections of the electorate for voting in the "wrong" way is distinctly un-British and, frankly, shameful. Threatening sections of the electorate with punishment, in the form of placing dangerous migrant camps in their midst, might seem like a clever strategy on the surface, but it attacks something foundational concealed beneath our politics and is deeply unwise. We are a nation and, as Edmund Burke argued, have shared national interests that go beyond our provincial concerns. These interests go beyond the mere material. The unspoken assumption of Britain is that, despite any political divides, we are British and therefore will treat one another in a manner that recognises the fundamental legitimacy of the other person and their claim to a decent life. Regardless of disputes, they ought to be able to go about their day comfortably and safe in the knowledge that this is their country and they belong to it. This is the psychic fabric that itself has been damaged by mass immigration: bringing in millions of people from countries who do not have this special attitude is what brings about the intangible feeling of unease that causes "white flight". It's why the country feels less safe, whether or not it actually is, and why people wish to live among people like themselves. The world becomes predictable and you can feel at your ease that tomorrow will be like today, and today will be like yesterday. Carving up areas of the country into ideological chunks that can be dealt a cruel hand because of their voting record is the hard edge of politics that we really must avoid. Ideology turns countrymen into enemies, brother against brother, over ephermeral abstractions that have devastating and permanent consequences. The ideological politics of the Blair era is what brought these problems to our doors in the first place. It was understood by them that "rubbing the right's nose in diversity" was a punishment, to be weaponised against their enemies. The logical conclusion of this was Zack Polanski's building a society without the right entirely. The Green-voting areas targeted by Reform are well-to-do white areas of the country, who have not yet had to live with the consequences of their politics. This is the axel around which the emotional impact of the policy hinges, and reveals the horror of what Reform plan to do. Yes, they're stupid, but they are going to be like babes in the woods in the face of it. Reform have taken up the destructive politics of ideology from the other direction, and if we look at what it has brought into existence without the mystifying lens of political ideology, it seems monstrous. In concrete terms, what we are seeing is a Muslim man who is threatening British men, women, and children with the rapes and murders caused by unvetted illegals co-religionists in order to gain political power. Why should we think he would stop there? Such behaviour ought not to be rewarded. This kind of ideological politics is completely alien to British life, and very foreign way of approaching the political dispensation of the country. It is a direct attack on the psychic fabric of the nation and renders us into two opposed and irreconcilable camps, where the human feeling that bound us together is severed. It also solidifies the control that ideology has over both sides: once one is attacked by the other, the victim will feel obliged to respond in kind. We must rise above this kind of politics before it destroys the precious metaphysical inheritence of the nation and forever drags us down into a place from which we cannot escape.
Timothy Ash: Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader…
Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, actually went on the BBC and questioned whether Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson!) is “creating a climate of intimidation and violence” with his rally. Astonishing. She’s a disgrace. The safety or ‘feelings’ of UK Muslims don’t count for her.
Liz Webster: The curse of making Brexit…
🔥 The curse of making Brexit work strikes again. It finished off the Tories. Now it’s sinking Starmer and Labour - stalled reset with Europe, risky Atlanticist gamble via Mandelson, and domestic chaos. Two parties, same failure. 🇬🇧 The UK left paying the price.
Edwin Hayward: At next week's local elections…
At next week's local elections, Labour will get exactly what they deserve. Try as I might, I cannot think of another case in modern political history when a party squandered a massive parliamentary advantage so profligately. And soon, we'll be into their last 3 years in power.Liz Webster: Uk govt has its “head up its bum”…
Uk govt has its “head up its bum” Britain is sleepwalking through a period of profound geopolitical and energy realignment. The old assumptions (cheap global energy, reliable US security umbrella, frictionless trade) no longer hold. Britain’s current strategic posture is dangerously complacent. The UK government (and much of the political class) still acts as if the world order that existed pre-2016 or pre-2022 is basically intact. It isn’t. @labourlewis
Andrew Bridgen: If the ‘useless eliters’ that control…
If the ‘useless eliters’ that control this world succeed in the Great Reset, we will all be living like slaves in digital concentration camps. Just say NO and stand in your own sovereignty.Timothy Ash: NATO is dead and European leaders…
NATO is dead and European leaders who don’t get that are brain dead. Heard numerous military top brass types in UK pretend otherwise recently. Accept it and move on. Plan for worst - the reality.
David Kurten: It is ridiculous that Met Commissioner Rowley…
It is ridiculous that Met Commissioner Rowley says there should be a specific Jewish police force. Does this mean there should also be a Muslim Police Force, a White police force, a Black police force, a Christian police force, a gay police force, a women's police force and a tranny police force?Andrew Bridgen: U.S. embassy in London issues security…
U.S. embassy in London issues security alert urging Americans in the UK to exercise increased caution in public spaces stating "a terrorist attack is highly likely." The alert comes as British authorities elevate the national terrorism threat level to "severe." @disclosetvLiz Webster: The EU’s emergency farm/haulier…
🚜 The EU’s emergency farm/haulier subsidies show what real food security policy looks like, protecting producers from shocks like the Iran/Hormuz crisis. Brexit Britain has no coherent food policy, just reliance on imports. This crisis is going to test that gamble hard. Experts already warn our food system faces multiple crises ahead. Food security is national security.
Clr Brian Silvester: We have enough 'wrong uns' already…
We have enough 'wrong uns' already..... without importing loads more of them. Labour Government must be mad, literally mad, to allow the small boats to keep on coming. Stop the boats, turn them around & return them to French waters.
Jayda Fransen: Do not underestimate the impact…
Do not underestimate the impact that these two headlines will have on normal British folk reading them. A wicked agenda has been plaguing our nation for decades, and the people pushing it are becoming far too brazen. Our people cannot help but notice this… which is a good thing.
Diane Abbott: Once again, Tony Blair is wrong…
Once again, Tony Blair is wrong and advocates to make ordinary people worse off. Britain has one of the lowest effective state pension entitlements in the whole of Europe. Tony Blair's thinktank urges scrapping of state pension triple-lock
Chris Williamson: The commissioner of the @metpoliceuk…
The commissioner of the @metpoliceuk , Sir Mark Rowley, has abused his position to launch a political attack on the leader of the Green Party and justify outrageous police brutality on a prone mentally ill man who'd just be tasered, so posed no threat.

Yet Another Escapade: Labour Wants to Put All Britons Under Arms
Former NATO Secretary-General George Robertson, Lord Robertson, has called for the return of compulsory military service in the UK. The proposal has sparked outrage across social media, with many Britons unable to understand whose interests they are now being asked to defend.Jayda Fransen: Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable…
Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable White British girls have been systematically groomed & raped across dozens of UK police force territories - yet NOT ONCE have we heard them say: “We need a special police force to protect British girls”. Our children mean NOTHING to them.
Andy Ngo: As the UK has and is letting in unprecedented…
As the UK has and is letting in unprecedented numbers of migrants, most then young males from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, they’ve taken over some main streets in British towns. They claim territory and use violence to enforce trafficking, scams, frauds and money laundering.Andy Ngo: Minority U.S. House leader Hakeem Jeffries...
Minority U.S. House leader Hakeem Jeffries laments that the DEI pillars of the Democrats have been ruled illegal in the highest court one-by-one. Their latest anger is over racial districting being ruled unlawful.
David Frost: Jewish people in Britain are...
Jewish people in Britain are facing intimidation and systematic incitement to violence. We need to stop the handwringing and get serious. Shame on this country if we choose, once again, to pass by on the other side. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇Aaron Bastani: The role of British and Welsh...
The role of British and Welsh identity is increasingly central to understanding politics in Wales. Critical to grasp as Labour, who’ve come first in every Westminster election there since 1922, collapse.
Liz Webster: Congratulations on your victory, @DavidCampanale...
Congratulations on your victory, @DavidCampanale . The @libdems admission of religious discrimination and victimisation is a disgrace, but sadly no surprise. I left the party after I too was bullied and harassed. This isn’t liberalism. It’s intolerance wearing a yellow rosette. Time for real change.
Patrick Henningsen: Trump is running the government...
Trump is running the government like he ran his businesses - into the ground: The reason many of his shady businesses failed was due to fact he was notorious for not paying his bills and then filing for bankruptcy and then living off restructured banker loans (bankers likely blackmailed). Looks like he’s applying this same dirty formula to his failing Presidency, what a disaster this is shaping up to be…Andy Ngo: The liberal city of Ann Arbor…
The liberal city of Ann Arbor, Mich. has removed its last "neighborhood crime watch" sign in a move meant to be more welcoming to blacks and people of color. The woke believe that law and order are anti-black and anti-POC, hence they call for abolishment.Carl Benjamin: They are right to lambast Thomas…
They are right to lambast Thomas for his ideological inconsistency. He is, of course, a Welshman, but the globalist view of nationality and belonging to which Reform are committed lead him to bungling his own roots and declaring himself not Welsh.
Mark Curtis: It’s so hilarious how the British…
It’s so hilarious how the British corporate media report US/UK relations. The reality is that this is undoubtedly the world’s most violent and lawless bilateral alliance in global affairs since 1945. The British public is always fed fairy tales about it.
Ben Habib: How many more needless acts of violence…
How many more needless acts of violence and sexual assault before our government recognises open borders are a disaster; mass migration is a disaster; multiculturalism is a disaster? One incident should be enough. Instead, daily our women and children are assaulted
