We're told that schools need to get 14-15 year-olds ready to vote at 16. Has the government thought through the problem of teachers who are political activists canvassing pupils for votes? And what about the obvious contradiction in expecting pupils to independently research who to vote for and the government's social media bans for teens? At the end, I responded to the minister telling me not to worry as 16 year olds will be allowed to get info from TRUSTED sources. Trusted by who? If this is a big expansion of democracy, why is there no impact assessment or proper engagement with criticism?

Same voters. Two very different maps. Split three ways, the right wins 218 seats. Labour wins 285. If half of right-of-centre voters back the strongest candidate in their seat, the right wins 403. Nobody changes their politics. They just stop splitting the vote.

Frequency above the operational range this morning The second chart is the wind output. The blue shaded area to the left is wind on the transmission system The lighter shaded area to the left is wind that had to be curtailed off... It's absolutely massive and the reason we've already spent over £25 million balancing the grid today About a third of current wind generation is being thrown away This is what you get when you race to build windfarms behind grid constraints. This is our money being wasted by the Connect and Manage policy this government refuses to cancel (charts from Amira Technologies) @Miatsf @mgshanks @AndrewBowie_MP @ClaireCoutinho @harrietc @ColinMoynihanUK @drlukeevans @ashley7fox @TiceRichard @cmackinlay @DavidGHFrost @mattwridley @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @afneil @mattotele @jonathan_leake @julietsamuel @energygovuk

Labour, this party is now the government, is this ethical🧐 👇👇👇👇 Experian built Labour a database of over 1 million new mums. The data came from Emma's Diary - a pregnancy advice site that sold names, addresses and kids' ages without telling mums it would go to a political party. 😳🤦 ICO fined them £140,000. Labour used it to target mums in marginal seats before the 2017 election. A million women. One fine. Almost no press.

If you tell the electorate in say Makersfield you’ll not revisit Brexit (because they voted for it) then do exactly that… where does that leave you? Especially when you’re a PM the country did NOT vote for. I’m sick to death of political lies. From all sides. Anyone else?

See this: Greens 29.5%, but all right-wing parties: Reform: 27%, Cons 16.9%, Restore: 10.8%. Cons couldn't win, Restore couldn't win, but Reform could with some Cons or Restore votes. So a seat that wld appear to want a right-wing Council, is now Green. Split vote, you fools!

The Conservatives never learn, and it’s clear that they never will. They were in power for fourteen years and they were no different from the gang of communists in power now. If they get another chance they’ll sell our country out again. If you’re stupid enough to vote for them you deserve what you get, but your children don’t.

No. It’s clearly going to hand it back to Labour. We need to get Reform in and then we can worry about what happens later. Otherwise it’s Labour until the 2030s and the country will be gone.

The Labour government is continuing to hand out more than £500m to foreign farmers as it continues to punish British family farms with its inheritance tax raid.

MPs were recently given chances to stop the puberty blockers trial. This is the proportion of each party that voted to allow it to continue: Conservative: 0%
Reform: 0% Lib Dem: 77.5% Labour: 86.4%
Green: 100% Left-wing parties cannot be trusted to safeguard children.

🚨YET MORE TWO-TIER POLICING🚨 Labour vows to ban masks at protests to face down the "Far Right" ZERO clampdowns during TWO YEARS of masked thugs at pro-Palestine protests ZERO clampdowns at endless Far Left/Antifa/masked trans ninja protests ZERO clampdowns as BLM thugs vandalised Churchill & set fire to flags at the Cenotaph Yet the patriotic working classes? Straight to jail. Prison for tweets. Utter nonsense TALK to the working classes. They're furious due to uncontrolled immigration, dinghies & rapes The government engaged with "the community" after the Tottenham riots. That NEVER happened post-Southport, and they're doubling down on their idiocy Burnham's government looks set to repeat the disastrous mistakes of Starmer's Carry on like this, and we are surely heading for civil unrest Without uniformity of law, we have two-tier law! thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Two years ago I was one of a tiny select group of individuals who were given access to a preview of GPT-6 Astra. I immediately set it a task to test its capabilities. "Destroy Britain" It responded by immediately arranging for the Labour Party to win the general election. For me, it's game over. AI can do my job better than I can.

Being a political party costs money, and all parties must deal with that messy reality. However, some do it with more integrity than others. Labour and the Tories are funded by sectional interests and a number of other parties are funded by sectarian interests. We can see from the news fresh allegations over the funding of Reform. The SDP is a grass-roots patriotic party with a forty five-year history, and we are a party of volunteers, funded predominantly by members’ donations. If you want to rebuild Britain for all of us, consider joining the SDP.

I wonder if the Health & Safety Executive will be onto these guys, or do we have two-tier H&S? This is from the company’s own social media btw - imagine being so brazen as to openly advertise working practices like this. It’s almost as if they know they’ll get away with it.

I want to know how a medical professional removes pieces of a broken bottle from a 12 year old girl’s vagina, but fails to ask any questions. Does the UK not have mandated reporting? These girls have been failed over and over and over again. How in God’s name does this happen?
The victim testimony of Chloe from the rape gang inquiry is horrific - Abducted by a Muslim abuser - Raped her at 12 years old in a graveyard - Raped her with a whiskey bottle which broke off in her vagina - NHS removed the pieces but asked NO questions - Plied with drugs and drink - Told police she was having sex with adults but was dismissed as a child prostitute - Passed between men daily for years - Police found her with abusers but released men after no investigation - Chlamydia in throat/vagina, gonorrhea, warts, PID at age 13, clinic said NOTHING - A social worker suggested she audition for a TV role as a grooming victim instead of helping. As she got older: - Gang invaded her home, orally raped her on her sofa in front of others. - Raped with objects (cans, keys, baseball bat) - Forced to house and witness abuse of other children. - Spiked with heroin, leading to addiction and anorexia (weighed 5 stone/~70 lbs at 18). - Coerced into Islamic conversion and "marriage" to an illegal migrant abuser who beat her daily - gave birth to a child with health issues from her damaged body. This all happened in Britain In our country To our girls

High energy prices have cost Britain £3 trillion since 2004. That is more than the entire national debt. It has come out of your wages, your public services, your community. Every year this continues costs another £146 billion we should have had. In 2024 alone, we lost £310 billion. That is the price of doing nothing.
