Danny Tommo: slashes boat; denied bail. Zafer Dogan: Convicted paedophile, granted bail to his flat next to school. Tell me two tier justice doesn’t exist.

The walkout by so many countries, which had listened with respect to the leader of Iran's gang of genocidal butchers, demonstrated with absolute clarity why the Israel they want to destroy is today absolutely essential to defend the Jewish people against those countries themselves.
WATCH: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Speech at the United Nations General Assembly. 🇮🇱

Who would have thought? A man who became an MP with only trade union and charity comms experience. Now expected to know how to grow an economy…
There're basically no Budget leaks this time around because they literally have no ideas. Everyone I’ve spoken to says Healey is completely out of his depth. He struggles to keep up with briefings and grasp basic concepts. One of the least-suited Chancellors to hold the office.

Been meaning to say this for a while. I absolutely love The Node Project. The media work is some of the best I have ever seen. The messaging. The AI videos. The music. It's so good I have the notifications set for this account. Utterly brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Two-tier justice. Put the loud ones away and hope everyone else shuts up. Not any more. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

There’s definitely something we don’t know about going on with this 👇🏼…. Make it make sense
Why are they so desperate to make the 🏝️Chagos deal, at any cost? Who benefits from the deal? Mauritius gets £billions from the UK leasing Diego Garcia. Mauritius hopes to earn far more by mining the mineral resources on the seabed of the France-sized Chagos marine zone. The British lawyers 👨‍⚖️ who worked on Project Chagos got £millions and could make many £millions more if the deal goes through. 🇨🇳China, 🇮🇳India, and others could benefit massively from fishing the currently protected marine zone, and mining the rare earth elements REEs and minerals thought to be worth trillions on the Chagos Archipelago's seabed. China and India will significantly increase their military and commercial leverage in a region vital to Western Security. The deal is being sold as securing the strategically important joint UK/US 🪖military base on Diego Garcia. The deal does🚨NOT secure the base. It does the opposite. The deal operationally hobbles the base, and increases the dangers to the British and American military personnel, and the civilians who work there, and in the wider Central Indian Ocean region. Diego Garcia's remoteness made it easy to defend in the past. This deal leaves the base horribly vulnerable to the growing threats posed by the new longer-range missiles, and more sophisticated and lethal drones. When Keir Starmer, Lord Hermer and Vijay Rangarajan, the Director General at the FCDO negotiated the deal, it was fully understood that the outer islands of the Chagos Archipelago were by far the best locations to deploy early warning, and air-defense systems, to protect the main base from missile and drone attacks. Yet, inexplicitly and recklessly they decided to only lease Diego Garcia. And¥ Burnham, the droves of civil servants in both Number 10s, and all the Labour MPs know the rotten and deceptive Chagos deal increases the dangers to the lives of the British service personnel, and our NATO allies personnel, in the strategically important Central Indian Ocean region. To double down and keep pushing the deal with that knowledge is utterly shameful. Mauritius will control the France-sized airspace above the Chagos Archipelago if the deal goes through. In April this year, Mauritius denied the Taiwanese president's plane permission to fly in its airspace enroute to Africa at China's request. Mauritius being a signatory of the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, together with several clauses in the Chagos deal, significantly limit and impact military operations on Diego Garcia. Then there's the bewildering betrayal of the Chagossian people who overwhelmingly wish their homeland to remain British. Is self-determination for the Chagossians the hidden threat to who owns the rights to the potentially vast mineral wealth in the Chagos Archipelago's seabed the reason for the desperation to make the deal with Mauritius? Have promises been made to certain countries or to other 🕵️entities with great power that can't be broken without the most serious of☠️consequences? Why are they so desperate to make the Chagos deal, at any cost, and who benefits?

Labour tried to delete court records that helped expose the rape gangs. Journalists have used Courtsdesk to uncover some of the most horrific crimes. Labour would rather see them covered up. We fought back against their plans to wipe this vital archive. And we won.
Delighted to be able to say that Courtsdesk UK - our platform for the news media - is back. We have just made history with the first ever licence for computational use of restricted (and pretty much all) UK courts data. Some thoughts here! bit.ly/4hmAxyV

Under a Reform government, if you demand “slavery reparations” from Britain we will suspend your visas. Britain is not an international cash machine for everybody else.

Nandy has spent a political lifetime pretending to support women. 👇 Spoiler: she doesn’t. She said we did t need a National Inquiry into Rape Gangs She ignored women’s rights’ charities and domestic violence campaigners to support assisted dying She thinks men should be allowed in women’s prisons and women’s sport.

I wish those in education in government would just listen to those that get results. Because it’s not helping our kids to not.
The number one thing we could all do as parents and teachers is just expect more out of kids! Raise our standards! It is amazing what kids can do when we expect more and teach them properly instead of pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I do not believe the current polls that we are seeing.I think when the next election comes Reform UK will stride to victory with a massive majority.These polls are from the establishment trying to scare people of from voting Reform. DONT LISTEN AND VOTE @reformparty_uk!

♦️ IN A NUTSHELL FOR THOSE WHO HATE LONG POSTS ♦️ For 20 years we've been told "Ministers can't do anything, it's the blob, it's the lawyers, it's the quangos." Danny Kruger's plan says: enough. ♦️ Abolish the Cabinet Office ♦️ Scrap the quangos - give powers back to elected Ministers ♦️ Split the top job - Cabinet Secretary - into 3. No more one person with a stranglehold ♦️ Ministers can hire and fire - reward the good ones, move the bad ones ♦️ Civil Service Code rewritten - you work for the elected government, not for yourself His quote: "There can be no distinction between elected and permanent government." Translation: We vote, ministers perform ‼️. About time. 👌

Another great session this evening in Cosham with a few familiar faces helping out too. Spent over 3 hours this evening talking to residents about any local issues they may have which have been passed on to the Reform ward Councillors. 🩵

Understanding the position of Reform UK It's a very small team, unlike other parties. They're under enormous pressure. Last month they got more emails than The Tory party. The Tories have 157 staff, Labour have over 300. Reform has less than 20 full time, some are volunteers . They've had several by-elections, costly and time consuming legal battles, including the very important one that challenged the government who attempted to cancel the council elections. Which would have stopped nearly 5 million people having the right to vote. A major victory that ♦️no other political figure challenged♦️ Remember that‼️ The media are constantly on their back. They've just had to stand 2 key figures down. The topics of the emails vary, with 100ds of particular concerns. The volume means they have to prioritise. They're vetting 10,000 council candidates for next year, as some of the seats they won are up again . They're also vetting 3,000 applicants for Parliamentary seats as they don't know when there will be a general election. Vetting is tough because the media look for dirt on every candidate. Social media content from applicants is very important as the media use it as an excuse to denigrate people. What is of no consequence as a layman, suddenly becomes newsworthy as a candidate. Sadly sometimes people lie over incidental things on application. Hence people are stood down after the fact. It's not personal, it's just avoiding media scrutiny as best they can. It not easy hence I try my best as a bystander to unravel what's actually happening. I'm not paid, I volunteer my input, and to be fair it's appreciated . No other political party or individual is under this much pressure. I actually don't know any one involved in politics who works harder than Nigel Farage. That is something I respect. I help without instruction because I truly believe this is our one and only possibility to change politics. I'm not looking for perfection. For nearly 30 years, Nigel has tried his best to be moderately rightwing, whilst simultaneously highlighting severe problems that other political figures have ignored. He's savvy enough to know, bring overly too right wing will simply crush any hopes of becoming a government. We simply cannot afford that! 30 years of being outcast by the establishment, a fringe player that has taken enormous ridicule and downright insults. The establishment is literally punishing him for what they see as an audacious attempt to change the system. Politics is different to activism and commentary, people need to understand that. Politics has way more boundaries and hurdles to jump. Being taken seriously and appearing level headed is all important if you want to prepare for government. Believe me it takes more than a few radical tweets and FB posts to challenge the system, all the other parties, the MSM and former colleagues who seem hell bent on damage. For Nigel Farage even if he's fortunate enough to win a general election, the pressure will not only continue it will get far worse. The radical left will go into overdrive. Number 10 is hostile territory, I actually appreciate his indefatigable courage. I've explained all this to help you understand what it's like under this much pressure. Thanks for understanding 🙏

A lot of you owe Liz Truss an apology. You won't though, you'll do mental gymnastics instead, because you are weak.
So the Bank of England are now planning to STOP Quantitative Tightening - ie allow inflation to rise - to relieve the Labour Government's debt crisis. Remember they STARTED Quantitative Tightening the day before the Mini-Budget. The so-called "independent" Bank of England.

Why no interest in this?
Why has a company that only has net assets of £62,733 donated £150,000 to @AngelaRayner between December 2025 and March 2026? The company has no employees, and one director Paul Edward Jordon. It stinks.

Ooh look. A lengthy BBC Politics Live discussion about Reform’s donations with Labour and Tory spokespeople slating Reform with **not a single Reform voice** in the discussion. Do you all see what’s happening?

Did you know if you're a Union member, your fees go directly to Labour? You can opt out below. Stop funding the demise of Britain.
Your union membership shouldn’t automatically mean funding a political party If you want to support a political party, that should be your choice. Trade union members have the right to opt out of paying the political fund used for political campaigning and political parties. People join unions to protect their pay, conditions and rights at work. That doesn’t necessarily mean they want their membership money funding political activity. If you’re a union member and don’t want to contribute to the political fund, you can find the official government opt-out form here: Your money. Your choice. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

About Reform donors @buying political favours”. The first thing Starmer did when elected was give bumper 15% backdated pay rise to train drivers. One of first things Burnham did was another rise for train drivers. Labour’s trade union paymasters have the Government on a leash. Did I get that right?
