It is quite incredible how @bphillipsonMP openly lies to @Rebecca_SPaul. There are over 44k fewer children in the private sector & over 120 private schools have closed due to VAT on school fees, yet Bridget hasn’t a shred of decency to acknowledge the damage she has caused.
According to the Education Secretary, it’s not VAT on school fees causing independent schools to close and tens of thousands of pupils to transfer into the state sector. It’s because they are choosing to charge fees that parents can’t afford! 🤯

I asked Sadiq Khan if there were grooming gangs in London and what he was doing about it. He answered by implying the very question was racist and Islamophobic, then I was silenced by the chairman. (June 2020)

Labour rushes through mayoral voting changes to block Reform There’s never been such a morally corrupt Government as this one. Labour tried to postpone local elections to avoid losing. Now they are fiddling the voting system in Manchester. Shameful telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Harvesting just one kidney from 20% of America’s politicians would give a new kidney to EVERY SINGLE PERSON currently on the transplant waiting list.
If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

October 2021 🚨Elon offered to sell Tesla stock and donate $6 BILLION to the UN World Food Programme to “Eliminate World Hunger”. BUT! … Only if they provided full public/open source accounting so everyone could see exactly where the money went. They did not accept.👀 Anyone shocked?!?

The most revealing line isn’t in the BBC’s statement; it’s in Imix’s own debrief. They say the Dover Question Time was a chance to “test some of our messaging directly” and that the contributors they supplied “helped shape the framing of the entire programme”. Think about what that means: a supposedly neutral public broadcaster allowing a self‑described “narrative change” organisation to run experiments on its audience – live – measuring how far they can push the Overton window on small‑boats migration. Imix’s CEO even wrote proudly that this was “a win on three levels”: getting their chosen voices on air, testing lines about the “real impact” of reducing migration, and shaping how the programme framed the whole issue. At no point were viewers told that what they were watching was not just debate but the output of a deliberate messaging strategy designed, funded and executed by activists who openly oppose tougher border controls. The BBC insists it merely invited “people with lived experience”. It forgot to mention that those people were being carefully selected, briefed and supported by a lobby group treating Question Time like a focus group with cameras. Once a broadcaster lets campaign strategists use its flagship political programme as an A/B testing ground for talking points, it stops being a platform for public scrutiny and becomes part of the campaign.

Labour are letting rape gang members out of prison early. They promised the early release scheme would not apply to those guilty of “the most serious, heinous crimes.” We need urgent legislation to keep all rapists, child sex offenders and rape gang members locked up.

If Vladimir Putin changed the voting system days before an election to stop his opponents winning, every British journalist would call it what it is: rigging the rules. Tonight, Labour rammed through a last‑minute switch in the Lords so that if Andy Burnham wins Makerfield and quits as Greater Manchester Mayor, his replacement won’t be chosen on a simple first‑past‑the‑post ballot, but on the supplementary vote system instead. Why now? Because Labour knows the race to replace Burnham would be a straight two‑horse fight with Reform UK – and under FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, no second chances, no back‑room redistributions, no “stop Reform” stitch‑ups. Under SV, Labour gets a second bite of the cherry: if their candidate can limp into the top two, they can hoover up second preferences from every other party and magic a “majority” on the second count, even if Reform tops the poll on first preferences. This isn’t “modernising democracy”. It’s the governing party using its Commons majority and the unelected Lords to hurriedly doctor the rules of one specific contest because it’s terrified the voters might choose someone else. When the establishment preached to the world about “rules‑based order”, they forgot to mention one thing: in Britain, the rules are “based” on whether Labour thinks it might lose.

When You Can't Beat Reform, Change The Rules. Labour Just Did. There is a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything. When those in power begin adjusting the rules of the game to determine its outcome, the game is no longer democracy. It is managed succession. That line was crossed again on Tuesday night. Two days before the Makerfield by-election, Labour rushed a change to the mayoral voting system through the House of Lords. Regional mayors will now be elected using the supplementary vote system rather than first past the post. The change applies immediately. It will govern whoever replaces Andy Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester if he wins on Thursday and stands down. The government's defence is that it is simply restoring the system used before Boris Johnson changed it in 2021. That argument requires the public to believe that a change Labour could have introduced at any point in two years of government became urgent on Tuesday evening, forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect. Lord Hayward, a Conservative peer and experienced pollster, was precise in the Lords. There is no other justification for the haste, he said, other than that it solves the Labour Party's problems and prevents Reform winning a mayoralty. Not clumsy. Not rushed. Designed. The mechanics explain why. Under first past the post, Reform could win the Greater Manchester mayoralty on a plurality of votes in a fragmented field, precisely as it won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Under the supplementary vote system, voters express a first and second preference. Lib Dem and Green voters, given a second preference, will direct those votes to Labour overwhelmingly. The change does not affect Thursday's by-election. It affects the mayoral contest that follows it, constructing an anti-Reform coalition from the second preferences of smaller parties that Reform itself cannot access. Lord Jackson identified the wider implication. This is potentially a strategy for a progressive alliance being rolled out ahead of a general election, he said, with the aim of locking out the Conservatives and Reform from power. Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation. The supplementary vote is the local pilot for a national project. Pool second preferences, lock out the right, govern indefinitely on a minority of first preference votes. This is not the first time. Earlier this year Labour delayed local elections after the Electoral Commission stated explicitly that the justification was not legitimate, that extending mandates damages public confidence and creates a conflict of interest by allowing those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. The Commission's objection was noted and ignored. Reform demolished Labour anyway. Now the same instinct has been applied to a different mechanism. Not cancellation this time. Electoral system change, deployed with surgical precision forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect. Governments confident in their mandate do not need to change the rules two days before the ballot. They face the electorate and take their chances. The timing of Tuesday night's Lords motion is not a coincidence. It is a confession. The voters of Makerfield vote on Thursday. The question of who governs Greater Manchester after that, and under what rules, was settled in the Lords on Tuesday. Nobody voted for that. "Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation."

🚨The BBC caught red handed. Remember the Question Time episode where illegal migrants were planted in the audience to lecture me and the country on our border policy? We now have *confirmation* the BBC PLANTED there and they were COACHED on what to say by a charity pushing for open borders. The CEO of this 'charity', Jenni Regan, was also in the audience and chosen to ask a question. Note, when I formally complained to the BBC about this and explicitly asked them if the audience members were coached, the BBC refused to answer. Now we know why. One of these men who broke into the country began reading a statement warning against Britain leaving the ECHR, even featuring the Northern Ireland protocol! One of them specifically attacked me and my family. Because they had been coached to do so. The BBC is morally bankrupt. To deliberately plant men who broke into Britain illegally in the audience, allow them to be told what to say and let them launch into attacks on Reform and lecture the British people is disgusting behaviour. To conceal it is even more outrageous. They should apologise immediately.

The Education Secretary claims the VAT raid on independent schools is boosting education funding. Yet real-terms spending growth for mainstream schools is down in 2025/26, teacher numbers are falling, and as more independent schools close, additional pressure is being placed on already stretched state schools. This policy is creating problems, not solving them. @Rebecca_SPaul @LauraTrottMP

Octopus is warning this scam could cost around £770 million a year – £16 billion over two decades – in hidden subsidies flowing out of our pockets and across the Channel. Starmer dresses it up as “resetting relations with Europe”, but to normal people it’s simple: you’re working harder, paying more, so foreign customers can enjoy cheaper power off the back of British taxpayers.

Good Morning Britain did not upload @officialsammyuk's segment on their online platforms. Unless you still watch terrestrial TV and happen to have tuned in at the time, X is the only reason you get to watch it. This is why the establishment wants to ban X!
This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen. I have now received an apology from the editor. My interview is below: 👇🏻

London deserves its reputation for cultural, economic and civic regression. The idea taxes should subsidise a campaign to counter “disinformation” is Stalinist. Improve the city, restore its sense of social cohesion and you might get somewhere. Otherwise it is merely at the leading edge of Britain’s drift towards Balkanisation.
The world deserves to see the best of London. Our £7m global campaign will challenge the rise of disinformation about our capital. It’s time to set the record straight and champion everything London stands for.
