Just what on earth gives Wes Streeting the belief he is deserving, or capable, of being PM? He has done nothing in his life, other than seek his own promotion. What have we come to.

I am seriously beginning to think that you can't reach the highest echelons of society in the U.K. unless you are corrupt, or at least biddable. [I've always said it's the most corrupt country in the world - I underestimated it ]

A beautiful film of Selby in the North of England, as it was in 1965. Scenes of everyday life and plenty of old cars to spot. This is a lovely window to the past which was captured by the local Cine Club.

The establishment attacks on Restore Britain are rapidly increasing, as expected. It is relentless. They are terrified. Owen Jones, Nigel Farage, Zack Polanski, the Daily Mail, Nadine Dorries, Michael Gove, endless faceless Labour MPs, the Guardian. The whole team. It will not work. Why? I am not in this for the money, the status, the popularity. I don’t care about any of that. I’ve got enough money. I don’t have to be doing any of this. If I cared what people in posh parts of London thought of me, I would not be doing this. Trust me. But I want to be really clear about my opinion on them. I do not give a shit what they think of me. I really don’t. I am doing this for one reason, and one reason only. To give the British people a democratic route out. It’s the only way. The last way. What we are doing is not going to be easy or straightforward, nobody has said otherwise. But it is necessary. We will not budge, backtrack or fold to establishment pressure. We are going to do what is needed to Restore Britain. If you want to vote for failed Conservatives, that’s your choice. There are now two options on the voting paper for that. Lucky us. But Restore Britain is offering a genuine alternative. Millions and millions of patriotic British men and women are taking it.

THE DOSSIER #11: David Lammy MP – The Contemptible Born 1967. Tottenham. Guyanese parents. Father abandoned the family. Single mother. You have worn her struggles like a costume for thirty years. The scholarship. Harvard Law School. The most elite legal education on earth. You are not the voice of Tottenham. You are the voice of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The international elite's manufactured authentic. The working-class hero who needed three attempts to pass the Bar. Three attempts on a donor-funded scholarship. Then straight into politics. Not one day in private practice. Not one day meeting a payroll. Not one day outside the taxpayer-funded bubble. Fabian Society. The Foreign Policy Centre. Labour Friends of Israel. Labour Friends of Palestine. You join everything. You stand for nothing. You believe in nothing except your own advancement. Researcher for Harriet Harman. MP for Tottenham since 2001. Minister for Culture. Higher Education. Lord Commissioner of the Treasury. Now Deputy Prime Minister. You climbed to the second highest office in the land without ever leaving the building. Without ever building anything. Without ever creating anything. Without ever suffering the consequences of your own decisions. You called Brexiteers Nazis. You compared them to the Ku Klux Klan. You said they were allied with fascism and white supremacy. You called the 2016 vote "the worst thing since the Second World War." Seventeen million voters. Seventeen million of your own countrymen. Nazis. That is what you called them. That is what you think of the British people. That is your contempt laid bare. Then you begged for their votes. Then you begged for a trade deal with the America you called racist. Then you went silent when power required it. You have no principles. You have only appetites. You called Donald Trump a racist. A Nazi sympathizer. A member of the KKK. You demanded he be banned from Britain. You said he was unfit for office. Now you are Deputy Prime Minister. Now you need him. Now you are silent. How wonderfully flexible your principles are. How terribly convenient. How utterly predictable. You demanded Parliament be recalled in 2019 to stop Brexit. You said prorogation was a constitutional outrage. You wept for parliamentary sovereignty. Then you voted to revoke Article 50 without a referendum. You voted against the democratic result. Fifty-eight percent of your own constituents voted Leave. You voted to ignore them. You called it principle. They call it betrayal. They call it treachery. They are correct. You voted to scrap winter fuel payments for nine million pensioners. You took £300 from the poorest elderly households while you spent £1 million on private flights in three months. £14,000 per day. Your Foreign Office blew £521,000 on restaurants and bars in four months. The venues were hidden. The receipts were buried. The entitlement is total. The hypocrisy is infinite. You claimed £7,000 in accountancy fees on expenses. Ten times. To help with your tax returns. While you underpaid £2,500 in council tax on your £1.6 million London home. "An oversight," you claimed. The oversight of the man who lectures others about paying their fair share. The oversight of the reparations advocate who cannot pay his own bills. The oversight of the Nazi-caller who cannot follow basic tax law. You demanded reparations for the slave trade. You demanded Britain pay up. While you sat in the £3 million official residence at Chevening. While you flew business class to Washington. While you dined at the British Embassy. While you collected your £89,000 ministerial salary on top of your £91,000 MP salary. While your wife sat on the board of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Another quango. Another appointment. Another connection. The reparations advocate with the £180,000 household income. The guilt-monger with the expense account. The shame-peddler with the grace-and-favour residence. You took £35,000 from a property developer. You took hospitality from Qatar. You took flights from Saudi Arabia. You took dinners from anyone who would pay. Then you lectured others about ethics. Then you demanded transparency. The standards never applied to you. The rules were for the little people. The Nazis. The ones you despise. You called the 2011 Tottenham rioters victims of social injustice. While Tottenham burned. While shops were looted. While your constituents lost everything. You made excuses. You blamed cuts. You blamed the police. You blamed everyone except the people holding the petrol bombs. You are not a leader. You are an apologist for violence. You are not a representative. You are an excuser of destruction. You are the Shadow Foreign Secretary who did not know what NATO Article 5 was. You are the Deputy Prime Minister who confused India with Pakistan in your first week as Foreign Secretary. You are the barrister who cannot grasp basic geography. You are the Harvard Law graduate who needed three attempts to pass the Bar. Three attempts. While you lecture others about competence. While you call them Nazis. While you burn £1 million on private jets. Open borders. Flooded cities. British daughters paying the price for your virtue-signaling. Working-class communities destroyed by your policies. Working-class voters demonized by your tongue. You have spit on the people who gave your family refuge. You have sold the country that made you Deputy Prime Minister. You have given away our money while calling us Nazis. You are not a statesman. You are a shock jock in a suit. You are not a diplomat. You are a liability. You are not the future of Britain. You are its embarrassment at the highest level. You are its shame made flesh. Your Harvard degree is worthless. Your Fabian membership is a joke. Your thirty years in Parliament have produced nothing but division and disgust. Your constituents deserve better than a man who calls them Nazis. Your country deserves better than a Deputy Prime Minister who despises his own people. You will never be Prime Minister. You will never be respected. You will never recover from the mouth that destroyed you. The mouth that called seventeen million voters Nazis. The mouth that costs £14,000 per day in private jets. The mouth that demands reparations while dodging council tax. You are a fraud. You are a hypocrite. You are a disgrace. Your career is over. Your credibility is gone. Your Deputy Premiership is a corpse that has not yet fallen. When it falls, no one will mourn. No one will remember you fondly. You will be remembered only for the contempt you showed the British people. Only for the Nazi slurs. Only for the waste. Only for the betrayal. You are not fit to clean the shoes of the people you call Nazis. Your betrayal of Britain is now complete. Permanent exile awaits. Congratulations. You are The Dossier.

I am totally struggling to take this in!! An Iranian migrant in a French camp tells an undercover reporter he wants Britain because “England, they cannot see” his criminal record – and once here he plans “gang, sell drugs, fight, stab, shoot.” If that’s true, it’s not just a story about one thug. It’s a confession that Britain has become the soft underbelly of Europe’s criminal circuit: the country the gangs talk about as a blind spot, a loophole, a joke. We paid France hundreds of millions to “stop the boats”. The Express reporter still infiltrated a smuggling gang in Dunkirk and negotiated a crossing in under two hours, while French police looked the other way and smugglers ran an open marketplace. Starmer’s government will go on TV and read the same script: “rigorous checks”, “international databases”, “foreign criminals are wasting their time”. The reality on the ground – from Dunkirk to Dover – is that the criminals have already read the script, and they’re laughing at it. The only people this system ever seems able to “rigorously” check, punish and track forever are law‑abiding British citizens.

🚨 THE BIGGEST LIE IN WESTMINSTER. They look you dead in the eye and say the country is completely broke. 🤡 But they magically find billions every single month for luxury migrant hotels, foreign aid, and their own political freebies. You pay the highest taxes in history just to hit potholes on your way to a dying high street. Nothing works because the system is actively designed to bleed the working class dry. RT if you are absolutely sick of funding your own decline and want our country back!

And remember we also have one of the worst pensions in Europe. One of the very least generous in the whole G7 👇🏼👏🏻
The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years. Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped. Why? State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers. The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage. If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes. Leave pensioners alone. They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.

🇮🇪⚔️ An armed Irish group has issued a direct warning to politicians: “You have flooded our communities with military-age migrant men. We will not sit back and watch our culture and religion destroyed.” The pushback has begun. Ireland is waking up.
