🚨 Andy Burnham has just lost the next general election.
He said he would never cut Benefits to pay for national security.
Has Burnham just had his Ratner moment?

Maria Koutsoudakis, Chief Brand Officer @VodafoneThreeUK:
《Today we launched our “Nation's Biggest Network” campaign.
But this isn’t just a campaign — it’s a commitment. A commitment to invest £11bn in building the network this country needs and deserves. A belief that this small island can continue to achieve incredible things. And an invitation for everyone across the UK to go do, be and achieve their best.
In a world that often feels uncertain, we wanted to put something out there that brings a bit of optimism — with a touch of humour and humanity.
From the first text to the first phone call, Vodafone has been connecting the nation since 1984. And now, with merger of Three, The Nation’s Network is bigger, stronger — and only going one way.》

This is really disturbing. Labour are looking at VPN bans, overnight curfews and introducing total State control of the internet.

Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted.
Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent.
Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else.
Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government.

Three defence resignations in one night.
John Healey. Al Carns. Pamela Nash.
The people tasked with protecting Britain have lost confidence in this government.
Keir Starmer should resign.

🚨 MPs’ renting scandal just went nuclear — and the snout-in-the-trough champion of the week is none other than Labour’s own Deputy Leader, Lucy Powell.
It’s now been exposed that a whole string of MPs have been renting rooms and entire homes to each other at full taxpayer expense. Powell raked in over £30,000 last year alone by renting out a room to another MP. Taxpayer-funded second homes, taxpayer-funded rents flowing straight into fellow MPs’ pockets — a cosy little Westminster property scam that makes the old expenses scandal look like pocket change.
This is the same Labour Party that lectures working Brits about “fairness”, “austerity” and “paying your share” while their own elite treat Parliament like a private members’ club with an unlimited bar tab on your dime. While British families are crushed by sky-high rents, energy bills and taxes to fund this circus, Labour insiders are quietly lining their nests by renting to one another — all perfectly “within the rules,” of course. Because in two-tier Britain, the rules are written by the grifters for the grifters.
Lucy Powell isn’t some backbencher caught with her hand in the till. She’s the Deputy Leader. The second most senior figure in Starmer’s government. The same government that’s busy hiking your taxes, slashing services and telling you to tighten your belt while they play Monopoly with public money.
This isn’t a mistake.
This isn’t an oversight.
This is systemic corruption dressed up as “MP accommodation.”
The silent majority has had enough of these champagne socialists treating the British taxpayer like a bottomless ATM. We pay for their second homes, their rents, their expenses — while our own kids can’t get on the housing ladder and pensioners choose between heating and eating.
We demand:
✅ Immediate full public audit of every MP’s property dealings and expenses — names, amounts, everything.
✅ Resignations for anyone caught in this rental racket — starting with Lucy Powell.
✅ A complete overhaul of the MPs’ expenses system — no more second homes, no more self-dealing, no more pigs at the trough.
✅ Real consequences for the entitled elite who think the rules don’t apply to them.
Labour isn’t just failing Britain.
It’s looting it — one taxpayer-funded rental agreement at a time.
Starmer Out.
Powell Out.
The whole rotten Westminster cartel out.
The British people are watching. And this time we’re not forgetting.

For a man best known for dumping 400 tonnes of British gold at knock-down prices and calling an old lady a bigot, joining this cast of incompetents he should fit right in. 🤨

Have I missed something as I don’t remember being asked if we want closer ties with the EU.
Has anyone else not been asked?
It appears that Keir Starmer has a free reign & does whatever he wants & no questions are asked.
This feels more like a dictatorship.
