Was supposed to be joining @RupertLowe10 for a @RestoreBritain event tonight. If I had travelled to the UK, I would have been arrested on the spot and could have faced up to 4 years in prison.
I can’t visit for one day to give a speech, yet thousands of people without papers cross the Channel and are given free housing and citizenship.

Who remembers Snake Oil "Pandy" Burnham's stupid "Makerfield Test"?
He promised to apply it always when becoming PM, saying that if policies did not work for his constituency, they could not work nationally.
Now Makerfield has spoken.
And they overwhelmingly reject Burnham's EU capitulation.
They want the areas where he is surrendering partial control to the EU to be soverign and managed in Britain only. Overwhelmingly.
They also believe Britain should act alone on refusing foreign criminals to stay in Britain - while the EU is actively pressuring for plans to increase the deportation of criminals to be halted.
So - the Makerfield test says his approach is wrong, it doesn't work for them.
That means either Burnham changes course or bins the test.
My money is on the latter.
It was guffage needed at the moment to get him into No 10.
He is betraying us, so won't care for the test now.

⚠️The Government wants to force Britons to submit ID checks to use eBay and other online shopping websites.
We warned that the Government's eye-watering internet control plans wouldn't stop with social media restrictions.
Now, any platform where users can talk to each other could be put behind the Great British Firewall.
Britain must not sleepwalk into this authoritarian nightmare. We must say no to passports for the internet - our freedoms hang in the balance.

The government's war against the self-employed is intensifying with brutal new proposals to force them to pay tax monthly in advance. The crunch year will be 2029, when they will have to pay double the amount of tax in one year.
“The Government’s proposed changes to how self-assessment operates are completely unworkable as they stand and will cause enormous cash flow problems for many thousands of self-employed people,” warned the Federation of Small Businesses
“Under the new proposals, in 2029 the self-employed will have to pay around two years’ worth of tax in one go.”
The plan is clearly to give Labour a one-off cash boost in an election year.

The Full English - as dictated by Andy Burnham and the EU.
Labour is serving up our food laws to the EU on a silver platter.
We will have no say, no influence and no veto over the rules the EU sets.
Andy Burnham will soon strike a major new food and drink deal with Brussels that means the Great British breakfast will never be quite the same again.
To meet the terms of the Prime Minister’s new deal, British law will have to be changed to match European rules on food and plants, with farmers and producers in some cases having to alter their methods, which could push up prices ⤵️

I’ve now swapped to variable direct debit after octopus put my payment up twice in 4 months despite my being £500 in credit . We don’t use much more energy in the winter because we have a log burner be dammed if I’m going to pay £200 a month for most of it to sit in their bank

For a company to export goods, they myst first make those goods at an internationally competitive price.
The #Reset will increase the cost of UK manufacturing by increasing UK energy and import material costs, it won't increase UK exports.
98.7% of UK exports are NOT subject to EU SPS rules. But they will all suffer from higher #Reset energy and input costs.

Burnham's government is spending your money in court to stop you finding out what foreign criminals have done in this country.
The data watchdog said publish. Twice.
Labour said no.
Half of Britain thinks it's a cover-up. Hard to argue with them, isn't it?

Before putting millions of adults through an ID checkpoint to access social media, the Government and the platforms should have to explain why the information they already have isn't enough - and how requiring every single user to prove their age using government-issued ID can possibly be:
- Necessary
- Proportionate
- Or indeed safe in itself - given databases are compromised ALL THE TIME

True.
The Government is adding around £2bn to electricity bills (plus cement, glass etc) so it can save an estimated £200m on trading inefficiencies. About half of this has already been added just on the rumour.
Absolutely nuts policy.
Andy Burnham wants us to believe the EU-UK reset he’s about to sign off is a good deal.
So why is he about to put us on the hook to pay a higher carbon tax that will increase the price of energy? High energy costs are already seeing factories shut down and everyone’s bills shoot up.
This tax will go on electricity bills, gas boilers, petrol and diesel cars and on the manufactured goods you buy. For the average household, the European carbon tax could add £281 a year to household bills - more if you dare have a larger house or bigger car.
Our Cheap Power Plan would see the carbon tax scrapped altogether - the priority right now must be to get bills down!
Royal Mail and DPD delivered their packages efficiently and on time.
While other carriers are supporting the high street by being crap at their job, these two just don't play the game.

It’s had a remarkably long run, “Pick it Up” has dropped to No 75 in The Heritage Chart, let’s hope that it’s encouraged a few folks to responsibly dispose of their litter, but fly tipping & the lack of consideration, as far as trash disposal is concerned, by quite a lot of people, still remains a major problem worldwide. Thanks so much for voting folks, love & God Bless to you all. ✌️✌️🎶🎶☮️☮️
