Those who come here illegally and harm others are not welcome. This isn't far right rhetoric. This is common sense. Yes, racists exist amongst us, but the majority want to feel safe in their homeland.
I'm not against legal migration because I saw the benefit from it when I battled through cancer. Doctors and nurses are assets we need here. Those hit by war, too, and are willing to abide by the law are welcome too (even though we can't accommodate everyone, sadly).

Dear bra companies, I am BEGGING you to stop making bras with removable pads. 😭 Nobody wants to spend 10 minutes trying to shove a folded-up triangle back into a tiny hole after laundry day. WE ARE TIRED.

Anyone who wants to start painting you don’t have to buy expensive brushes and paint. I picked up an £8 set of acrylic paints in the Works that came with three small brushes and a plastic palette

STATEMENT: Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police. Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison. They forged a passport. They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes. They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”. This is unprecedented. The police are now involved. Scrutiny of political parties is one thing. But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts. Here’s what happened 👇

Labour has cut £2 BILLION from front line Army equipment. £2 billion. One of THREE battlefield vehicles would have been able to recover Boxer armoured vehicles if damaged in conflict. Streeting has been briefed that this could leave them in full sight of an enemy and impossible to recover. Not sure why he needed a briefing as that doesn't take much to work out. We still have no defence spending commitment. Healey if he had a shred of integrity should resign. Oh, and I remember Wes saying he’d resign as defence secretary if the funding wasn’t delivered. They should both go. They should - but won’t. As neither have a shred of integrity.

Paris, until Saturday. Off to bed. Nothing happening tonight and I’ve got an early start tomorrow. Another protest planned for Saturday, so I’ll most likely be back on Friday. Unfinished business. Au revoir, Paris. For now.

Total chaos in Europe. Milan. This brave woman, all on her own amidst hundreds of criminals, tries to restore order and put an end to the lawlessness. She was even assaulted for doing so. This woman is a true Italian who loves Italy. Let's make her famous.

France is in flames (yet he wants to rejoin the EU). Trump is selling out Ukraine, cosying up to Putin again A cost-of-living crunch is looming this winter, especially fuel bills. He still hasn’t told us how or when defence spending will reach 3% GDP. Inflation is rising once more, as are interest rates. Russian forces are threatening our infrastructure, especially undersea data and energy links. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, our Gulf allies are under attack. And PM Burnham drivels about this!! It’s like the opening sketch from Saturday Night Live.
TikTok star Andy Burnham is back on TikTok displaying all his talents as an overblown local councillor, addressing the serious situation in Europe and how to stop the boats. Only kidding. He's talking about how to be good boys and girls on public transport. On TikTok 🤓👍

🇫🇷 FRENCH STUDENTS SING THEIR NATIONAL ANTHEM AT PARIS PROTEST A powerful moment tonight as French students proudly sing La Marseillaise, their national anthem, during protests near Place de la République in Paris. Whatever your politics, there’s something powerful about young people standing together and singing their national anthem. Filmed 19th October 2026.

Playing football popularity games while Glasgow’s own Labour MP asks for help tackling violence, drug dealing and child exploitation. Where’s the same enthusiasm for public safety, Andy? Perhaps Glasgow needs a VAR screen before it gets your full attention.

Really? I think there's more important things to be deal with now instead of sitting and chatting about VAR! Seriously... 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says he has an idea to ban VAR in Labour's next election manifesto "You'd accept it if it got decisions right, but it doesn't get decisions right"
