Mmmm. Let’s see now.
Last time you were in power you stood for:
Net zero
Higher taxes
Reckless spending
Wokery
Running down our defences
Mass immigration
Softness on crime
The growth of “non crime hate incidents”
I think I’ll give you a miss next time…
You may not agree with the @Conservatives on everything, but you will always know where we stand and who we stand for.

Remember when the tax-free allowance was £12,500?
That was in 2019.
Today, it’s £12,570…just £70 higher.
If it had simply kept up with inflation, it would be around £17,000 today.
Meanwhile, food, rent, energy, fuel and everyday bills have all risen sharply.
They can say they’ve “not raised taxes.”
But they haven’t needed to.
Freeze the threshold while wages and prices rise, and inflation quietly pushes more of your income into the tax system every year.

Labour are spinning the immigration figures to gaslight the British public.
It’s a disaster under their watch
They say
Immigration down 82%
Boat crossing down 42%
Hotel use down
Cost down by £1billion
Deportations up
That’s the spin.
Now the truth
Immigration is not down by 82%. Net migration is not immigration, it just means under Labour the best and brightest Brit’s are leaving together with the wealth creators and entrepreneurs.
Crossings are down over an all-time high last year, in 2025 crossings went up by 38% under Labour they’re now celebrating it returning to the levels it was at when Labour came to power.
Hotel use is down because Labour moves them elsewhere, women and children being put at real risk in communities across the nation.
Costs down because of course it’s cheaper to use HMO’s than hotels.
Deportations up? Only 24% of those deportations are enforced deportations and only 7% arrived by small boats. The people leaving are mostly visa overstayers.
As for the so called one in one out deal with the French, so far we have sent back 1087 and the French have sent us 1117 back. Strange maths there 🤔
So when you look at the reality rather than the spin. Labour immigration policy is a shambles and there is absolutely nothing to celebrate.

What is the point of striving to earn and save just to fund a fiscally incontinent state incapable of reining in welfare spending? It's reached the point where it's time to give up, writes A.P. Doff-Cashcow.

Thinking of Rhiannon Skye Whyte today and her baby boy who is growing up without his mummy…
murdered by a third world barbarian our government encouraged into the country with free gifts and hospitality
I hope the Lord is looking down on that little boy and embracing with him love

Every major party said the Clacton by-election was beneath them. Then Andy Burnham endorsed Count Binface on camera — and Labour mega-donor Dale Vince offered to fund him up to £180,050. That's not staying out of an election. That's fighting it with the rosette taken off.

“[No 10 of the North] is a place where you’ll soon be seeing the tumbleweed blow through the corridors”
@AfNeil dismisses Andy Burnham's proposed “Number 10 of the North” as “complete nonsense”, arguing Westminster would still retain ultimate control through the Treasury.

Keir Starmer has changed our party and our country for the better.
He brought Labour back from electoral oblivion, has restored our reputation abroad, stabilised the economy and will lift half a million children out of poverty.
We owe Keir a huge debt of gratitude.
LINDA BURROWS retweeted
Just to remind these same folk:
You’ve not lifted 1/2m kids out of poverty. You’ve just moved them over a bureaucratic line on a Whitehall spreadsheet.
Your ‘workers rights’ are destroying entry-level jobs, hitting young people disproportionately, where unemployment is now over 16%.
You have not transformed the NHS. It’s still the same old wheezing leviathan, just with a lot more dosh and still dismal productivity.
And you’ve nationalised steel and rail before. It was not the prelude to an economic or industrial miracle. Plus you will now have to include their demands for capital/subsidies among all the other priorities already crowding in on the public purse.
Other than that your reminder was useful. Thank you.
Just to remind some folk that is nothing ‘timid’ about a Labour government lifting half a million kids out of poverty, the biggest uplift of workers rights in a generation, giving millions of people a pay rise, transforming the NHS, nationalising the steel industry & our railways
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The government has not yet nationalised the steel industry or fully nationalised the railways, Employment Rights changes are phased through 2027, and the child poverty figure is a projected reduction in relative poverty rather than an achieved outcome. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief… commonslibrary.parliament.uk/when-will-my-l… gov.uk/government/pub… ifs.org.uk/articles/two-c…

'If you want to know what sort of man Sir Keir Starmer is, consider these two clues.
'First, note how slow he was to make any public comment about the murder of Henry Nowak. And second, note how quick he was to condemn his political opponents for speaking up about it.'

Dear Rachel,
Here's the reality....
Last year I had 2 new tyres fitted to my van - £126.
Today I had two new tyres fitted to the same van, same garage, same make of tyre - £165.
30% increase in one year.
Diesel is up 35% since a couple of months ago.
My van insurers want an extra £120 this year.
I'm a Decorator and all the paint I use has had TWO price increases each year for the past few years.
Some now costs approximately TWICE what it cost 6 years ago.
Some trade paint is now over £100 for 5 litres. Yes it's better than cheap crap but that's a ridiculous price.
But I'm just one bloke trying to earn a living.
Millions are in the same boat as me.
They can give you stories about the price of timber, plasterboard, electrical fittings, roof tiles and everything else they have to buy.
Everything appears to be getting more difficult for everyone.
In years gone by we didn't all have to worry about the cost of putting the heating on or how much we paid for the water that came out of our taps. We do now.
We didn't have to search the shelves in the supermarkets for the cheapest (inferior) alternatives and we didn't get utterly ripped off when paying for parking in town centres.
Our Council Tax bills, (or Rates as it used to be called), were equal to a small proportion of our income. And we got the bins emptied every week.
We could actually buy rounds in the pub - Remember THAT?
Many millions of people who frequented pubs can't afford to go there any more. Their village pub is probably shut now anyway.
Our public services are overstretched.
The NHS is ALWAYS on it's knees.
Our roads are falling to bits.
Parents can't get their kids into their local schools.
Many people in villages, towns and cities are frightened to go out alone (or at all) due the numbers of undesirables roaming the streets and our parks.
But it's OK. We're the Worlds 5th largest economy apparently and therefore a "rich" country compared to many.
Perhaps that's why we can afford to give away ONE THOUSAND MILLION POUNDS every MONTH to countries who don't share our good fortune, or our wonderful public services or our national contentment in knowing we're nearly at the top of the tree.
Is it any wonder that hundreds of thousands of people are just saying "bollocks to this" and either stopping work or buggering off to live somewhere else?
My advice to any young person would be - Go! It might not work out for you but at least you've had a try, probably had some fun, learnt a lot about yourself and the World and maybe met someone you can share your life with.
You can always come back again and help the local council empty the bins every 3 weeks.

Blisteringly good, this. @Jonathan_Hinder is one of Labour's finest MPs.

Today @Keir_Starmer will stand before the country and say "You failed to vote for us because you were unhappy that we weren't wrecking the country fast enough. You wanted us to go harder and faster at wrecking the country. I get that. From today I will double my efforts to give you what you voted for at the last General Election. More of the same bungled policies, more of the same stupid decisions, more of the same ridiculous legislation, more of the same promotion for my friends with links to known paedophiles. But we will do it faster. The pace of change will accelerate. It's what you need. I'm doing it to help you. It's for your own safety and security. It wasn't my fault it went wrong. It was yours. It's ALWAYS your fault. Why don't you do what I say? You NEVER listen. Sit down. SHUT UP. I need to think. I said SHUT UP. Who the hell do you think you are? Look what you've done. Just LOOK. You're useless. You've always been useless. You never do anything right. You've ruined everything. You're a worthless piece of shit. Always have been. I'm doing this for YOU. For YOU. Why don't you get it? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU"?

Taxes
OH …UNITED KINGDOM
This is very interesting.
If I give you £1 billion and you stand on a street corner handing out £1 per second, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out £1 billion after 31 years!
Now read on. This is true and rather hard to really understand.
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
1. A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
3. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4. A billion days ago, no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5. A billion Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our present government is spending it.
We are charged:
· Stamp Duty
· Tobacco Tax
· Corporate Income Tax
· Income Tax
· Council Tax
· Unemployment Tax
· Petrol/Diesel Tax
· Inheritance Tax (tax on top of tax)
· Alcohol Tax
· G.S.T.
· Property Tax
· Purchase Property Tax
· Tax on Title Searches
· Tax on Building Inspections
· Tax on supplements
· Taxes on various food items
· Taxes on Dining out
· Tax on all utilities – Phone, hydro, water, waste disposal
· Service charge taxes
· Social Security Tax
· Vehicle License / Registration Tax
· Vehicle Sales Tax
· Workers Compensation Tax
· And now Carbon Tax
AND I’m sure you can think of more...
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world. A criminal’s life was uncomfortable. What on earth happened?

Funny how the Speaker now says he “can’t” tell the PM to answer the question. Yet when Boris Johnson was in office, he did exactly that—on record.
Same chair, different standards.
