Utter BS🤬 Go suck a gherkin!

THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🇬🇧❤️ I’ve been reading today’s Budget and I’m considering cancelling my direct debits. Financial independence is finally within reach. 🥒 Cheaper gherkins, baked beans and chocolate. Potential savings of £21 a year - that’s 40p a week. I’ve already rewritten my will. My son gets the house, but the gherkin fortune is going into a trust fund. I’m not having the little bastard blow my life’s savings on cocaine and scratchcards. 🍬 Import tariffs scrapped on boiled sweets and toffees. Thank Christ. I’ve seen pensioners outside Aldi exchanging sexual favours for a bag of Werther’s Originals. 🍊 Cheaper marmalade. Excellent, ‘cos I’ve been spreading Vaseline on my toast since March. Paddington Bear’s probably knocking one out behind King’s Cross. 🧄 Cheaper garlic. Fantastic!! I’ve been buying it one clove at a time from a bloke behind Aldi. Last week he offered me three bulbs and a handjob for £20. 💷 Income Tax thresholds frozen until 2031. Absolutely beautiful. Earn a bit more, get dragged into paying more tax, then watch the Chancellor congratulate himself for helping working people. It’s the financial equivalent of being mugged, having your trousers stolen and being handed a 40p voucher for gherkins as compensation. 🍫 Cheaper chocolate-covered wafers. I’ve already ordered a reinforced safe, appointed three trustees and instructed my accountant to establish an offshore wafer portfolio in the Cayman Islands. Apparently, HMRC wants to know why I’ve declared a KitKat as a dependent. 🚌 Bus fares capped at £2. If my business ever collapses, I can now afford to travel to the Jobcentre and explain that I went bankrupt despite unprecedented savings on fucking marmalade. 💡 Gas standing charges being scrapped. Lovely news, until you find out the cost is being transferred to the price of the gas itself. That’s the financial equivalent of a burglar returning your television and charging you £45 to watch it. Anyhoo… the government calls some of these its FIVE EVERYDAY FIXES. I’ve calculated that if I save 40p every week, I could afford a second-hand Ford Fiesta in approximately 400 years…. Assuming nobody’s eaten the fucking gherkins. Thank you, Chancellor. You’ve saved the country. I’ll name my first jar of marmalade after you. 🇬🇧 by Micky Flanagan

BREAKING NEWS Prime Minister Andy Burnham announces national car park loyalty scheme. His statement- "I know many motorists are finding it financially difficult to run their vehicles at the moment. I'm a motorist too, so I get it. I will not accept there is nothing I can do to offer help to those who need it. So from 1st January 2027 I will be introducing a car park loyalty scheme. It's free to join and will immediately provide motorists with the opportunity to save money when parking their cars. By simply registering online with your name, your home address, your phone number, your email address, the vehicle registration number, the VIN number, the vehicle make and model, your driving licence number, a copy of your insurance policy and details of your entire family and anyone else you may know, (including the names of your pets - but excluding goldfish), you will be able to get a free parking session for every 40 paid tickets you download to the website. This will save the average household £3.78 per year and is another example of @UKLabour being on your side when times get tough. I am determined to make life easier for you. You can register for this initiative on absolutelyshitideasfromburnh… I'm here to help. Your friend, Andy".

Just want to be honest, The problem is that Restore voters just cannot see or understand what they are doing. I want Restore supporters to realise that no matter how tempting and inspiring the Rupert tweets are, they'll never get a chance to implement them because the system will stop you. Not Reform, not Labour, the system. You cannot go from a one-man seat to be a Prime Minister. The reach afforded to you on X is not the reality of who you are. There are 26 million people who do not follow politics online. They stayed away in 2024 because they didn't trust politicians. They'll vote next time, and next time is the last time we get a chance. Some may vote Restore, but not in enough numbers to get into power, but definitely enough to stop Reform. No power, no change. As has been happening with the councils. Your honest belief in this party is putting Labour and Green in seats that could have gone to ' change'. You yourselves can't change anything. Your leaders' alleged offer to unite, seriously. Deals and mergers are done behind closed doors, then the result is announced The offer in front of millions on X who saw the offer before Nigel did didn't seem genuine Like his come-to-dinner offer earlier, come to dinner sounded good to the crowd, but he works down the hall in the same building; access to Nigel would have been easy. Besides, how do you do a deal with a man who is allegedly suing Zia, Nigel, Tice, Lee and The Party? Sadly, Restore voters are beguiled by social media content that often doesn't marry up to the man himself. You're good people who want change; I see that, but Restore can only strengthen Labour's grip on this country. Whatever Restore is, it doesn't look to me like country before party. A Labour win was not what they voted for. Proof that voting for Restore in local elections is dangerous and guarantees you end up with the same old globalist Labour open-border policies. Restore never wins; they are nothing but a spoiler party, and their mission is to help the globalists win. Always vote Reform UK.

😡 Oh, so it wasn’t just the BBC then? How am I not surprised!? Turns out TAXPAYER FUNDED civil servants were also working inside ITV and Channel 4 during general elections, helping prepare news coverage, fact check politicians and assess party manifestos. And apparently they weren’t just checking statistics either. They were organising interviews and helping put together stories on immigration. One even went looking for people to interview about how cutting immigration could hurt businesses. Sorry, but since when was any of that their job? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Looks like election interference to me. There’s a HUGE damn difference between checking statistics and helping produce the news millions of people watch when deciding who to vote for. And this has been going on for at least 11 YEARS.. across FOUR general elections! ‼️ 2015 ‼️ 2017 ‼️ 2019 ‼️ 2024 Were they doing the same during the 2016 Brexit referendum? Almost certainly. 😡 We’re constantly told these broadcasters are independent and impartial.. yet they’ve had civil servants working behind the scenes during elections. And WE’RE PAYING FOR IT! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Who authorised this?? How much has it cost us? I think the public deserves some bloody answers and an independent investigation into the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV. Because if civil servants have been influencing election coverage, that’s not impartial journalism. That’s propaganda being funded by taxpayers, and there’s absolutely nothing democratic about it. @reformparty_uk @ZiaYusufUK @TiceRichard @LeeAndersonMP_ @SarahForRuncorn @danny__kruger @AndrewRosindell @RobertJenrick @SuellaBraverman @ThatAlexWoman @Iromg @GoodwinMJ

UNDERSTAND THIS: In the Conservatives NOTHING HAS CHANGED Just the wrapping paper Only the extremely Gullible will fall for it and possibly those so young and naive that they don't bear the scars from the Last Tory Betrayal of all their Loyal Voters and Members.
It’s a reshuffle that is less important than just about any reshuffle in history, except… Badenoch says the Conservatives have ‘broken decisively with their past on Net Zero, the ECHR and immigration’ Yet her supposedly renewed shadow cabinet contains several senior politicians who personally promoted the policies she now repudiates, including a former Net Zero Business Champion as Shadow Chancellor, a Shadow Energy Secretary who called Net Zero “eminently sensible” and a new Shadow Foreign Secretary who has explicitly opposed leaving the ECHR. Do you still believe they have ‘changed’?

Angie telling lies again, she cant help herself, Woolworths sold 7" singles for 49p in the late 70's early 80's, the first Oasis single was Supersonic, released in 1994 when 7" singles were typically £1.99+ and were being phased out for CD singles

Reform is still ahead of the Conservatives, Will. If I were you, I’d be rather more concerned about your own party’s polling disaster. Let us examine the record, shall we? We gave you fourteen years. You repaid that loyalty with betrayal: mass immigration (both legal and illegal), the highest tax burden since the Second World War, a welfare state that ballooned from £192 billion to £296 billion, and a national debt that rose by roughly £1.5–1.6 trillion. You housed illegal migrants in four-star hotels while our own people could not get housing. That is not conservatism. It is far closer to socialism. Kemi Badenoch is now polling even worse than the humiliating general election result that was the worst in your party’s history. She was too terrified to stand against Nigel Farage in Clacton and instead promotes the bin (full of garbage so very appropriate I guess), treating the voters of Clacton with open disdain. She has dismissed her own councillors as people who only deal with “potholes and bins.” That is how little she thinks of the grassroots. The Joshua Bonehill-Paine debacle has backfired spectacularly on multiple fronts. In Makerfield you finished fourth with just 2.2 per cent. In the Greater Manchester mayoral election you finished fifth with 7.7 per cent, behind both Restore Britain and the Greens. The volume of your attacks on Reform is telling. You are clearly terrified of us. You are obsessed. I was a Conservative Party member for twenty-two years, and there are thousands like me who have left. You need people like us if you are ever to form a government again. Yet instead of trying to win us back, you spend your time on here attacking and denigrating us. That is a political strategy of remarkable incompetence. 🚨 Breaking news Hundreds of thousands of people (possibly millions) who voted Conservative in 2019 will not be voting for you at the next general election. Only @reformparty_uk is positioned to defeat Labour. Your fear of that reality is obvious to anyone reading your feed.
