Liz Webster: OMG This is totally vile...
"😮 OMG This is totally vile. Reform councillors in Makerfield posing with a banner saying they’d “rather vote for Jimmy Savile than Labour”. This is gutter politics and shows the desperation. Makerfield voters deserve better than this toxicity. A strong result for @AndyBurnhamGM on Thursday is the antidote: serious, decent leadership focused on communities, high streets, and a proper British food & farming plan. #AndyForMakerfield #SaveBritishFarming"
Alex Wickham: NEW: How would Andy Burnham...
NEW: How would Andy Burnham govern? Labour’s big fear is he can’t live up to his promise of change and he ends up not much different to Keir Starmer. The levers available to him to go big on policy are limited. Binding himself to the manifesto and fiscal rules means he cannot significantly raise taxes, borrow or spend more. Only more incremental fiscal options are possible unless he changes his mind. He will pursue soft-left social justice policies: social care, a long-term investment plan, more public ‘control’ of industry, council houses, bus fares, some small tax rises on the wealthy. All good stuff for a Labour PM, but so far there’s not really a big idea there that can turn around Labour’s fortunes in three years. And there’s no detail yet. Like Starmer, Burnham has judged he needs to be tough on immigration to stop Labour’s traditional working class vote going to Reform. He wants more detention of asylum seekers, backs Shabana Mahmood’s policies and wants to try welfare cuts again. His language around the Henry Nowak case was fascinating: suggesting banning the kirpan and that Britain does have two-tier policing except in Manchester under its ‘no nonsense’ police chief. Soft-left social justice + tough on immigration… trying to appeal to both right and left to prevent votes bleeding both ways… within the confines of the fiscal rules and manifesto… sounds quite a lot like Starmer. There have been some red flags during his campaign. A lot of Starmer-esque u-turns. The Waspi gaffe. And loose talk, saying repeatedly he’ll “look at” various policies that would cost billions, like a pensioner tax cut, with no plan to pay for them. There are signs of tension among his supporters already. Some backers suggest his team has struggled to agree either on a policy platform or a political strategy for how they should approach the days after Makerfield. We have no idea who his chancellor will be. Or his No10 team. Or his top cabinet posts. His political operation is very limited: Louise Haigh, Ed Miliband, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Josh Simons. That’s a huge amount of uncertainty over someone who wants a coronation within weeks. Burnham will want to focus on domestic policy and not as much on foreign policy as Starmer. But that’s easier said than done. He’d be PM in Trump’s world and the Ukraine war endgame would happen on his watch. Foreign policy may well define a Burnham premiership whether he likes it or not - just like Starmer. No doubt Burnham is a better communicator. He seems at ease with working class voters and says all the right things. Maybe that’s enough reason to change. But with the constraints he faces, can he deliver the radical change he’s promising, or is he setting himself up to let voters down like so many PMs before him?

There is something very odd about 'Restore Britain'. Their Makerfield candidate Rebecca Shepherd declined to speak to the Telegraph, then Rupert Lowe seems to ask permission from his handler to let her answer a question, who again refuses permission for her to speak. https://pic.x.com/phyfhvwvlx

The Green Party has collapsed in the polls. Seems like the nation realises that they are commie, anti British nutcases.

Burnham is just another Starmer, without the Lord Ali glasses......but with a t-shirt and darker hair !!!! Within months, a PM Burnham would be just as unpopular as PM Starmer. Labour are in a self imposed straitjacket that they can't get out of.

We're not splitting the vote. We want different things. Nigel won't confront Islam. He said mass deportation would be impossible, but it's essential if our country is to survive. Millions need to be removed. No ifs or buts. That's what I'm voting for.

The Labour Government know that they only have 2-3 years to implement their agenda against the British people. They will never get in again. Removing our rights, freedoms & crank up a surveillance state. They will oversee the imprisoning of opposing voices. We are about to go full China

710 illegals on 11 boats yesterday. WTF are the Labour Government doing?? Labour can intercept a Russian oil tanker in Channel .....but can't stop 🛑 a dinghy? Labour are a dangerous, expensive, laughing stock, who are putting Brits at risk by letting in unvetted illegals.Liz Webster: Brexit energy trap: Britain’s energy...
🚨 Brexit energy trap: Britain’s energy costs are strangling growth. PwC warns we risk missing out on £250 billion in economic value over the next decade unless we fix chronically high electricity prices. This is the Brexit energy trap: lost EU market integration + our broken gas-marginal pricing system = some of the highest costs in the developed world, even when renewables are cheap. We need a proper integrated energy strategy, not more decline.Adam Brooks: We face a future where our...
We face a future where our kids will never get a council house or social housing if they fall on hard times. In London, some social housing areas are 60-70% foreign born. No other country allows this - reset needed. Nothing racist or extreme, it’s common sense.Clr Brian Silvester: Million youngsters (16-24) are NOT in...
Million youngsters (16-24) are NOT in employment, education or training. Whilst 27% of vacancies are skill-shortage vacancies. Youngsters should lose benefits if they don't train for one of those scarce skills.

Yes, I imagine it will incense hardworking, tax-paying Brits to learn they are paying for Abdul's five wives to have an extended holiday here at their expense.Liz Webster: Ten years on, the Brexit evidence overwhelming...
🔥 Ten years on, the Brexit evidence overwhelming. Brexit was not a temporary disruption on the road to prosperity. It was an act of economic self-harm. The promised gains, less red tape, booming global trade and lower immigration, have not materialised. Instead we have: 📉 Lower investment 📉 Weaker productivity 📉 More expensive trade 📉 Lower growth 📈 Higher net migration You can argue about the exact size of the damage, but you cannot honestly argue there has been no damage.Clr Brian Silvester: Labour could easily stop 🛑 the invasion...
Labour could easily stop 🛑 the invasion of illegals across the Channel. Truth is, Labour simply don't want to. Labour WANT open door immigration.The more the merrier. Vote against Labour every time. Starting in Makerfield on Thursday. Vote #RestoreBritainLiz Webster: 🔥 The great irony of the population...
🔥 The great irony of the population debate/Malthusianism is that for decades a generation of policymakers feared Britain had too many people and explored ways of reducing numbers. Half a century later, Britain 🇬🇧 faces a population crisis of not enough people. For decades so many citizens have struggled to afford to have the families they want. Now the large aging babyboom generation continues to resent immigration needed to keep the country going.

"Good of the Royal Marines to send the cameraman in first to make sure rooms were clear. FFS how pathetic is this? Labour are desperate to appear ‘hard’. Also, why are we seizing a Russian tanker when we are buying the oil from them anyway?

"After two years of this disgraceful Labour government prioritising foreigners over British people every single time, it beggars belief that people in Makerfield are going to vote for them yet again. We can’t afford this any more. What on earth will it take for people to wake up?"Adam Brooks: If the Government really wanted to protect...
If the Government really wanted to protect kids, they’d stop allowing suspended sentences for paedophiles. They’d stop letting off knife and sword carriers with suspended sentences too. THIS BAN IS ABOUT CONTROL AND YOUR DATA.David Kurten: Starmer's U-16 social media ban is...
Starmer's U-16 social media ban is a Trojan horse for digital ID and totalitarian internet surveillance. It is laughable to think that the Starmer regime cares about children with the ongoing existence of grooming gangs, RSE in schools and the surge in migrant crime resulting from replacement migration. It's real goal is digital ID verification to use the internet and totalitarian internet surveillance for all.

The hypocrisy of the Government. The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect: Yet they decided to ban under 16’s from Social Media. However when shown the clear correlation between Covid ‘vaccination’ and deaths, injury and cancer the Government state that ‘correlation is not causation’ and keep on pushing the toxic shots.
