Alex Wickham: NEW...

NEW: Andy Burnham has warned the budget will be “challenging” and he will have to take “difficult decisions” because of the deteriorating economic picture “We will take difficult decisions to make sure the economy remains on track” “It’s going to be challenging, because the picture around the world is challenging” That’s a new message from the prime minister who until now has been talking about restoring “hope” to Britain

Dale Vince: Britain’s Airline industry is out of control...

Britain’s Airline industry is out of control - they live tax free at our expense, make big sums of money and emit vast sums of pollution, climate driving pollution. And they want massive expansion. I’ll say again - half of all Briton’s don’t fly and 10% of us take half of all flights - cheap flights are not for hard up ordinary people, they definitely are not an essential. VAT has just been taken off energy bills (which are an essential) we should pay for that with VAT on flying. It will still be stupidly cheap to fly. But the bigger issue is expansion - it makes no sense - economic, social or environmental.

Jayda Fransen: I already gave this point consideration...

I already gave this point consideration and let me tell you why I reject the argument. I have not heard a single Piddington resident (in any of their online posts or video interviews) state that they object to illegal immigrants being housed as ‘asylum seekers’, but that their tiny village doesn’t have the facility to cater for those men. So they want them dumped elsewhere. That is NOT an anti immigration position in the interests of the entire British population, it’s ‘invaders for thee but not for me’. Moreover, their symbolic referendum to quit the UK really demonstrates the selfish character of these people. Of course the vote is a total nonsense, but it shows a total lack of national, community spirit outside of their own back yard. If they DIDN’T vote liberal, then they can easily ‘dispel the notion’ that they did by publicly stating that they oppose ALL parties who support mass immigration into Britain. It’s not difficult, and they could even be lying when they say it (we can’t see who they voted for), but still none of them have done so. Why is that? Because fundamentally they aren’t concerned with such issues unless and until they affect them personally. Then when they are affected, their response is to vote to desert the UK - to hell with the rest of Britain, it’s ‘Piddington First’. That is how a nation dies. Individualism KILLS nations. On a slightly more positive note, it’s worth remembering that revolutions only occur when the Middle Class get involved, so the fact that these issues are starting to affect them directly is actually a positive step towards seeing some real action in this country. There is no voting our way out of this, so let the Middle to Upper Classes raise their heads from their broadsheets and help get the masses organised.

Andrew Bridgen: Our last 3 Prime Ministers...

Our last 3 Prime Ministers all promised to ‘smash the gangs’ now you know why they didn’t , they were all complicit with the French Government in bringing the illegals across the Channel. We have been paying the French Government for their part in this fraud against the people - £600m this year alone. Do you see now - our Government are the enemy of the people and have been for a long time.

Pouria Zeraati: Important...

Important/ The IRGC Navy has claimed that the supertanker "EL GAIA" [Panama-flagged] struck a sea mine while passing through the southern section of the Strait of Hormuz. Efforts to contain the fire have failed, and now the entire tanker is burning! CENTCOM has issued a statement saying the IRGC is full of baloney. According to the US military report, the tanker "EL GAIA" was struck by an Iranian missile last month and disabled. This weekend, the regime again targeted the tanker with a drone while it was in Omani coastal waters, and now "one of the countries in the region" is towing the tanker. CENTCOM says the IRGC is lying to block the passage of commercial ships through the strait.

Daniel Lacalle: Spain's illegal immigration debacle...

Spain's illegal immigration debacle. You thought the government was going to solve the massive illegal entry? Think again. Free wifi, subsidies, shelter, and, ultimately, regularization. Pull factor? Naaaah. This is not incompetence; it is a strategy to import dependent and submissive poor to buy votes. https://elespanol.com/espana/politica/20260914/sanchez-anuncia-plazas-migrantes-ceuta-alaba-inteligencia-marruecos-asalto/1003744383548_0.html

Bushra Shaikh: Saudi Arabia is facing a potentially...

Saudi Arabia is facing a potentially prolonged disruption to oil exports to Europe because both routes it has been relying on to bypass Hormuz are now compromised. The East-West pipeline has been attacked, while the Red Sea/Bab el-Mandab is under Houthi threat. The UK may not depend heavily on Saudi crude directly, but oil is a global market. Disrupt Saudi supply and the price shock travels straight to Britain - petrol, diesel, transport, food, inflation and household bills. This is how a war thousands of miles away reaches your wallet.

Liz Webster: Steady on...

🚨 Steady on. Reform cannot simply announce that it is taking the Government to the Supreme Court‼️ First it needs a legally arguable claim and permission for judicial review. It would then need to progress through the courts and obtain permission to appeal. The Supreme Court only considers arguable points of law of general public importance. And if Parliament passes clear primary legislation, the courts generally cannot strike it down. There is no guarantee of a judicial review, let alone a Supreme Court showdown. This is political theatre, not legal analysis.
