Worksop East, Bassetlaw. Beechwood & Heath, Halton. St. James's, Dudley. Mid Argyll, Scotland. If you live in these four wards, you can vote for Restore Britain today. We've put up local candidates, four brave men and women who are fighting for their communities - I have huge respect for that. It's easy to sit and moan on social media, it's much harder to get out on the streets and actually do something about it. They've done it, trying to improve their local area and support Restore Britain nationally. Whatever happens, I want to thank our candidates for their efforts. So please back Ash, George, Tristian and Anne today through voting Restore Britain. Encourage friends/family to do the same. Every vote matters to our progress.

There are 29 Million Households in the UK Just this one money laundering package equates to £345 per household Plus all the other billions Instead of the UK Government shouts about saving you £20 a year on Gherkins & Marmalade These people hate you
Today we’re announcing a new £10bn package of support for Ukraine. This funding will help Ukraine meet its immediate needs, support economic resilience, and help defend its sovereignty from Russia’s illegal invasion. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

♦️WHITE PRIVILEGE♦️ This is how our cotton mills and wool mills made their profits, which afforded them their fine stone-built mansions on the outskirts of mill towns. It was dangerous work, fingers were often lost, eye injuries common, no comfort breaks, no health insurance and no factory nurse. This work was done on empty bellies after a walk to work. Malnutrition was common place and discipline hard. A water barrel with a wooden ladle for dry dusty days as cotton dander filled the choking air. There were no holidays to look forward to, no sick pay, and kids as young as 7 sent to work in the miserable conditions their parents stomached for a lifetime. They didn't play much, they were too knackered for that. A cold hard bed was all they could hope for. Arthritis and joint pains kicked in early as crippled fingers in their middle years struggled with looms. And our MPs talk about reparations for slavery, when every God damned nation was using slaves. White privilege... you disgust me. There should be a plaque of remembrance dedicated to the entire working class! #DawnButlerMP

Mohammed Yousaf is a solicitor in Bradford. He was caught on camera offering to help people fraudulently avoid fines for employing illegal workers. I wrote to the Solicitors Regulator calling for him to be struck off. They have now confirmed they are investigating his actions.

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Security staff protect our hospitals, shops and public venues. As such, their licences must provide genuine assurance of competence and integrity. Yet increasingly, security professionals are not British nationals, do not speak proper English, and do not appear to be physically fit enough to do their job. This is now everywhere. Supermarkets guarded by Indian men with no grasp of our language. How has this been allowed to happen? It is a scam, and a Restore Britain Government will end it. British nationals accounted for just 54.0% of recorded security licence holders in September 2026, down from 68.1% in September 2021. After British nationals (241,851), the five largest groups of SIA licence holders are nationals of Pakistan (69,663), Nigeria (28,770), India (20,567), Ghana (8,000) and Nepal (6,436) - countries whose cultures are, in our view, largely incompatible with our own. The demographic replacement of security guards. This is unacceptable. A Restore Britain Government will fix the security industry. How? - We will root out fraud and corruption, hold security companies accountable, and recruit more British workers, reducing reliance on cheap foreign labour. - We will commission an independent audit of the regulator, the Security Industry Authority, and launch a nationwide review of all SIA licences. Recheck identity, qualifications, criminal records, and the right to work. Strengthen overseas background checks, investigate failures to act on intelligence and conflicts of interest, and protect whistleblowers. The senior leadership will be replaced - such failure must have consequences. - We will require every frontline licence holder to retake independently supervised competence tests and pass a separate English-language examination covering speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Introduce physical fitness tests appropriate to each licensed role. Withdraw licences from those who fail or refuse to meet the required standards within a prescribed period - requiring former holders and their families to leave Britain. - We will introduce compulsory business licensing, with fit-and-proper checks on directors and beneficial owners. Require firms to assess subcontractors, verify staff identities and licences, and retain auditable employment records - preventing banned operators returning through replacement companies. - We will direct joint SIA and Home Office teams to investigate sham sponsorship, falsely described jobs, and unlawful employment. Check actual duties against visa conditions. - We will introduce legislation requiring foreign-national licence holders to financially support themselves and their dependants without social housing or welfare benefits. Where this condition is not met, withdraw licences and require former holders and their families to leave the UK. - We will pursue criminal investigations and prosecutions against company owners, recruiters, training providers, assessors, and officials who knowingly facilitate fraudulent qualifications, false identities, sham sponsorship or illegal working. Seek prison sentences for serious offending, confiscation of criminal proceeds, director disqualification and exclusion from public contracts. - We will launch a domestic recruitment drive through Jobcentres, college apprenticeships, and veterans’ organisations, with funded training and licence-fee support for British recruits. By the end of our first Parliament, we aim to have a 100% British security workforce. Relying on foreign nationals to do such important work is not acceptable. Our people deserve to feel properly protected in hospitals, in shops, at nightclubs, and everywhere else where security personnel are required. The British lads who provide me with protection when I need it are dedicated, serious, and competent - this should be the case everywhere. We should not have Pakistani, Sudanese, and Eritrean nationals taking job opportunities away from British nationals, especially if they are not even doing the job but using it to commit fraud to obtain a visa. The farce of millions of British people being ‘protected’ across our country by illiterate and incompetent foreign men will end.

Political parties on our side of politics are all too desperate to appeal to my generation, and entirely ignore the needs of anyone under 50. Why? Because they don’t vote in the same numbers. Restore Britain will not do that - as we’ve demonstrated. Our plan to replace the triple lock will restore some generational fairness, it probably won’t win us many votes. But we are going to make that argument regardless. Replacing the triple lock, abolishing interest on student loans, hiking tax thresholds, scrapping stamp duty, overhauling the childcare system, enabling entrepreneurs to grow their business with no corporation tax, ending school holiday fines, slashing regulation to get the state out of their way, cutting VAT/tax on all parts of their life - I could go on and on. Our plan is coming together. We are going to continue making our pitch to young working men and women who are trying to find their way in modern Britain. Restore Britain will give them a genuine alternative at the ballot box.

Never ever forget what they did to this fellow Scouser. The man who beheaded Ken Bigley has now claimed asylum in Britain and is living a nice comfortable life. All paid for by you. The tax payer and Shabana Mahmood won’t deport him. I see this type of behaviour as being one of the reasons people have such hatred for Islam and not because they were born racist. That’s my take on it anyway. But I could be wrong.

In Birmingham 56 out of 151 (37%) murders in the last 2 years have been committed by migrants living in HMOs. Based on the data an HMO dweller is 80% more likely to commit murder. It seems Labour is more interested in votes than the safety of British people. birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi…

BBC/Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney subscriptions - 1st November cancellations Under the current blueprint being drawn up for the upcoming BBC Charter Review, any household that pays for an Amazon Prime subscription could be legally required to hold a TV Licence, even if they completely avoid BBC iPlayer and live television. The government intends to treat Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Disney+ identically under this new framework. My advice is to wait until the 1st of November and cancel everything you can - just for a month or two. If everyone does it on the same day, a real message will get sent to the businesses that can actually fight back against it. You can always rejoin later.

Just putting @netflix @AmazonUK and @AppleTV on notice - if you plan on charging a licence fee on behalf of the BBC, I will cancel my subscription in an instant. For Amazon in particular you’ll need to unbundle your TV service from Prime because I’m not paying the BBC for free parcel delivery.

Unless the UK government is intending on giving rebates for YouTube, Netflix, and Disney subscription fees, this is completely unacceptable. Forcing UK citizens to pay twice to access media just because the BBC is forcing it's presence, is disgusting. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

BREAKING: The head of MI5 has warned Britain’s migrant crisis is fuelling an increased terrorism threat. Sir Ken McCallum, in stark terms, explained how the failure to control the borders is becoming a national security issue. He has told reporters: "For the first time in almost five years, JTAC recently returned the UK terrorism threat level to SEVERE, meaning an attack is highly likely. “While the threat level change reflects the whole of the terrorist threat, the recent increase was driven in significant part by Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism. “This is a complex landscape, with many subcultures. "Over the last year, the most marked trend has been an increase in cases where extremists of anti-immigration and anti-Muslim grievance are tipping into terrorist intent; we’ve dealt, for example, with would-be terrorists aspiring to attack mosques and venues connected to immigration and asylum."

NEW MPs will vote tomorrow on the Government's plans to house 1,200 illegal migrants at an army camp near Piddington, Oxfordshire, I can disclose. The vote has been forced by a motion moved by shadow Women's minister Joy Morrissey through an Opposition Day debate, starting tomorrow at 1pm. The motion - seen by @GBNEWS - says: "That this House condemns the Government’s plan to place illegal migrants into MoD Bicester; and calls on the Government to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights in order to deport illegal migrants." MPs will have to vote or abstain on the motion at the end. How will Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs vote? Watch all the drama on @GBNEWS.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ANGELA RAYNER CAUGHT USING 15 MILLION POUNDS OF PUBLIC CASH TO RIG ELECTIONS!!!! I want every working person in this country to confront the terrifying reality that the state is weaponizing your own wages against your ballot paper. Under the guise of a 15 million pound recovery fund created after the Southport tragedy, Angela Rayner quietly financed a partisan propaganda machine inside local government. Official evidence confirms public funds went straight to the Ella Baker School of Organising, an activist network founded by former operatives from Hope Not Hate. Council staff across Birmingham, Sheffield, and Blackpool were forced through state funded sessions instructing them how to steer working class communities away from Nigel Farage. Local bureaucrats were literally trained on how to distract ordinary residents from small boat arrivals and manipulate the public away from voting for Reform UK. Course registration materials openly declared their core objective was to avert the impending disaster of a democratic right wing government. The political establishment claims there is zero cash to protect military veterans or keep elderly pensioners warm, yet Angela Rayner finds unlimited funds to turn council offices into political re education camps. Labour knows they have permanently lost the trust of ordinary Britons, so they are deploying taxpayer funded psychological operations to rig the ballot box from the inside. Retweet this exclusive investigation immediately to expose Angela Rayner using public money to wage war on British voters. 🇬🇧
