Lee Hurst: Abolish all benefits…
Abolish all benefits. Simplify it. Pay everyone the same amount. 40 hrs a week times min wage. Get them onto skills training to earn it or community work. If they are genuinely disabled give it to them. If a family member is designated a full time carer for them pay them too. Pay it to full time University Students for 3 years and ditch the loans. As a society we get something back for our money. People upskill, stuff needed doing gets done. What is wrong with this as an idea? If you have ever had to deal with the benefits system it is ridiculously complicated and expensive to run and get nothing back for our tax money.
Franz-Stefan Gady: Quick note on the supposed capability…
Quick note on the supposed capability gap from the Trump administration halting the planned MDTF long-range fires battalion deployment to Germany: the US Navy and Air Force can partially substitute: carrier strike groups with Tomahawk-armed destroyers and subs, B-52s and B-2s carrying JASSM-ER/LRASM, and forward-deployed F-35s. PrSM on HIMARS/M270 is already fielded across regular Army field artillery brigades and can fill part of the ground-based fires role. The harder gap, next to mid-range capability, is the MDTF sensor-to-shooter fusion. The MDTF is also a key element in how the US Army envisions implementing multi-domain ops. I wrote about this and the potential escalatory risks in my book „Die Rückkehr des Krieges”.
Liz Webster: As I told @HenryRiley1 on @LBC last Sunday…
🆘🚨 As I told @HenryRiley1 on @LBC last Sunday, the fertiliser shock from Hormuz isn’t just an energy story. It’s a food story. This week, Sunday Times Business section confirms it: food is the war’s bigger crisis. And the UK is especially exposed. Brexit took us out of CAP and while we’ve replicated EU trade deals, we’ve not replaced the core principle that food production is a public good. That has consequences: ➡️ Rising prices ➡️ Tightening supply ➡️ Real risk to food security After WWII, Attlee’s government passed the 1947 Agriculture Act, recognising that feeding the nation is a strategic priority. That thinking later shaped Article 39 in the EU. 🔥 Today, Brexit Britain has no equivalent duty. No food production plan, no clear strategy. We’re reacting to a crisis instead of preventing one. ☝️ This has to be fixed.
Andrew Bridgen: It looks like the ‘useless eliters’…
It looks like the ‘useless eliters’ approved candidate to replace Keir Starmer’s will be the Bloomberg sponsored and trained Andy Burnham. The policies won’t change only the human shield defending them. Burnham wins over Labour’s ruling body
Daniel Lacalle: Central banks are about to make…
Central banks are about to make another massive policy mistake by tightening in a temporary energy crisis. Their actions will do nothing to oil prices, geopolitical risk premiums, or government spending plans, which is what causes persistent inflation, but they will cripple small businesses and families that are already burdened by the monetary mistakes of 2020-2024.

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.
Anthony Costello: Donald Trump's war with Iran…
Donald Trump's war with Iran caused jet fuel prices to double. Jet fuel takes 20-30% of the operating cost of an airline. All airlines globally are canceling flights and hiking prices. Low cost airlines could well go bankrupt without bailouts.
Andy Ngo: "Your camera is a weapon"…
"Your camera is a weapon" My colleague @KatieDaviscourt , who was hit in the eye last year with a stick by a leftist rioter, was violently targeted again by Antifa militants outside the Portland ICE facility. The militants operate as criminal gangs planning violence on journalists who seek to expose them.
James Foster: Just embarrassing…
Just embarrassing. One almost feels sorry for her. Of course @ZackPolanski shouldn’t be “disqualified” 🤦♂️ @Keir_Starmer should, though, for his lies & betrayals; for appointing Mandelson; & for saying Israel had the right to cut off water & energy etcLiz 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.Andy Ngo: "Your camera is a weapon" …

👀WHERE'S KEIR STARMER? local election week. It's expected to be a "Starmergeddon" The Tories, Reform & Greens have put up their leaders for the final, big media round Labour? Heidi Alexander. Is Keir Starmer now so toxic to voters they're keeping him in the cupboard?
Clr Brian Silvester: Most astonishing UK immigration…
Most astonishing UK immigration graph EVER !!!! The long-term, Boris, post-2020 spike in net migration, which shows a dramatic, near-vertical surge to record levels of over 900,000, surpassing any similar rise since at least 1541 !!!!! Why did Boris and the Tories open the immigration floodgates? Tories got elected by promising to control immigration, net 100,000 a year their manifesto said.....and it ended uo NINE TIMES that. Far worse than during the Labour/Blair years.
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.
Pouria Zeraati: Crap News on Negotiations…
Crap News on Negotiations: Discussions within the regime revolve around when the US and Israel will strike again, in Israel, the army, in cooperation with CENTCOM, is preparing for the second round of operations, and in Washington, Trump publicly stated an hour ago that the regime's latest proposal is nonsense. Sensitive days lie ahead.Anthony Costello: The Pentagon has struck agreements…
The Pentagon has struck agreements with SpaceX, Oracle, AWS, Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia, for use of advanced AI tools on classified military networks, according to a Defense Department official War statement .
abdelmoneim Mahmoud: Iran and Trump and Netanyahu…
Iran and Trump and Netanyahu… Who Emerged Victorious? Massive human and economic losses, chaos in the Gulf, pressure on the global economy, and temporary gains for powers that know how to bear the consequences of war better than others But the harshest conclusion: In this war, there are no true winners… only losers to varying degrees #Iran #Trump #Netanyahu #StraitofHormuz #MiddleEast
David Kurten: Fake-right Cultural Marxists…
Fake-right Cultural Marxists who want to ban 'antisemitic hate speech' are a mirror image of left-wing Cultural Marxists who want to ban 'Islamophobic, homophobic and transphobic hate speech'. They all need to be gone, and free speech must be asserted for all opinions.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. @labourlewisAndrew 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.
Cameron Hudson: Israel and the UAE find common…
Israel and the UAE find common cause as the Iran war cracks old Middle East alliances. The implications for African states of this alliance is already being felt by frontline African states, particularly in the Horn. Those states need to wake up to this.
Robin Monotti: For people not in Britain…
For people not in Britain: we are having elections this Thursday, the population is predicted to vote against Starmer, he needs the "Strategy of Tension" to try and get the gullible to rally behind him.
Pat Condell: In this context, antisemitism and extremism…
In this context, antisemitism and extremism are timid euphemisms for Islam. The threat to Jews in Britain is coming directly from Islam and from Muslims, and that threat will remain until all the Jews leave, or until Muslims and their religion are expelled.
Philip Proudfoot: Keir Starmer wants us to believe…
Keir Starmer wants us to believe an inquiry into why he appointed Mandelson, friend of pedophile Jeffery Epstein, is a “political stunt” But claiming a political opponent is “unfit to lead a party” because he retweeted a post questioning police violence is normal and sane.Robin Monotti: It's amazing how when Starmer…
It's amazing how when Starmer is on the ropes for knowingly appointing Epstein associate Mandelson as US ambassador a mental case with a history of violence is released from a psychiatric hospital just in time to reshape the narrative before the local elections!
Jake Hanrahan: Sky News this morning implying…
Sky News this morning implying that the well documented atrocities of the Israeli government are only happening in the minds of protesters. As in, they’re imagined. British mainstream media has become a real cesspit.Clr Brian Silvester: UK is in deep financial trouble…
UK is in deep financial trouble. Labour Government is borrowing £132 BILLION a year.......and £110 BILLION of that is used to pay the interest on existing debt ?? Which is like increasing your mortgage to pay for your mortgage payments !!
Patrick Henningsen: rump openly boasting about…
Trump openly boasting about using our U.S. Navy as “Pirates” stealing Iranian oil tankers. What a disgrace. We are now approaching the end of this old man’s character arch….
Adam Brooks: When Starmer goes…
When Starmer goes, he will take it terribly. He’s spent decades dreaming of being the Prime Minister, only to be exposed as incompetent, a liar, two faced & disloyal. He’s going to go amidst scandal & a personal popularity rating so bad, it’s the lowest seen since records began.Read more
