The government to us: “reduce the your carbon footprint and pay green taxes.”
The government to giant tech corporations: "feel free to build mega AI data centres that massively deplete energy and water resources and we will give you taxpayer funded subsidies to help you.”

This is pure and simple police brutality. An absolute over use of power. There are multiple strikes with shields, punches thrown and kicks to a person already under control.
Every one of those 'offices' needs to be suspended, investigated and possible sackings.
The man should come forward, we need to know what injuries were sustained and sue the police, then the home secretary.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.
They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.
They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.
They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.
We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.
Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.
Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.
I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.
That is my focus now.
This is the nail on the head 👏🏻
If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, add inheritance to family farms and family businesses, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels and AI data centres on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, spaff £22bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, try and ram through government controlled digital ID, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, pledge a 20% cut in meat & dairy and get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

A Labour MP, Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, has attacked Restore Britain in Parliament for our push to get the Kirpan banned in public spaces.
Under a Restore Britain Government, all will be equal.
Un-British religious practices will not be tolerated or accepted.
Enough is enough.

A police anti-racism document should be withdrawn from use because it encourages police to treat people differently based on the colour of their skin, says shadow home secretary Chris Philp. He's speaking in response to a government statement on the murder of Henry Nowak.

How can @ShabanaMahmood say ‘this is not a case about racism’ when ‘racism’ is the only reason the police were called, was the accusation made by Digwa and family, and was the reason Nowak was handcuffed?
Is it just me or has the home sec spectacularly missed the point?

Nigel Farage is not “whipping up division”.
He is calling for the removal of a policy regime that has actually whipped up division for 30 yrs.
It tells whites they are racist.
It tells Brits they are oppressors.
It tells police, teachers, university lecturers they are “anti-racist activists” — not neutral officials.
It even led Keir Starmer & David Lammy to think it’s a good idea to give more lenient prison sentences to minorities.
This is what Labour and the Tories created - this is their legacy.
And this is what led police officers to prioritise allegations of “racism” over doing their job correctly.
It is what allowed the grooming gangs to flourish.
It is what prevented the security guard from stopping the Manchester Islamist bombing.
It is what prevented officials from stopping Axel Rudakubana.
It is what stopped them from detaining the Nottingham murderer.
And it has now clearly also played a role in the murder of Henry Nowak.
If we really want to end division in Britain then it starts with what Nigel Farage is calling for.
Treat everybody equally before the law —irrespective of their race & ethnicity.
End political correctness.
Reverse Keir Starmer’s crackdown on free speech.
Stop trying to control what we can say about some identity groups but not others.
Stop politicising our supposedly independent public institutions (which we pay for).
Root out all diversity, equality, and inclusion policies in those institutions, none of which are based on evidence anyway.
And stop reshaping our entire society around this perverse, dangerous, unBritish ideology.
Only Nigel Farage understands what needs to be done.
He’s not causing division - he is trying to stop it.

The national mood in Britain is the worst I have ever experienced. Especially since the Covid lockdowns. We are paying more and getting less. Governments are punishing the people they are supposed to serve, asset stripping the country while feathering the nests of their corporate paymasters. And I feel desperate sorry the younger generations who will inherit this managed decline. It’s a complete mess.

Henry jest nieuzbrojony. Jest trzeźwy. Nie zrobił nic złego. Zostaje zaatakowany nożem przez Sikha, dźgnięty pięć razy. Woła, że jest ranny. Przybywa policja. Słuchają jego mordercy. Zakuwają go w kajdanki. Umiera w tych kajdankach, mówiąc im, że nie może oddychać.
"Wyobraź sobie, że premier nigdy nie wymawia jego imienia. Wyobraź sobie, że BBC nigdy nie domaga się filmu. Wyobraź sobie, że mija sześć miesięcy, a jedyna sprawiedliwość przyszła od obcych ludzi w internecie i w realu...
To jest kraj, w którym żył Henry Nowak: Wielka Brytania"

I had to stop watching that Henry Nowak bodycam footage. Makes me feel sick.
The fact he had said he couldn’t breathe & had been stabbed and they literally put him in handcuffs. Horrific.

At this point prices in The UK are just made up:
What do you mean a return train to London is £140?
How is a weekend away in England £600? I can go abroad for a week for that!
Why is a house that was £700 a month a few years ago now £1500 a month?
How is a full tank of fuel now costing more than £100?
Why is my car insurance going up every year on the same car with no claims?
How is 2 carrier bags of shopping costing me nearly £100?
We're honestly done aren't we.

Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).
The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.
Burns 🇬🇧 retweeted
24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.
