2 million children. 14% of all UK children. Growing up in food poverty in one of the richest countries on earth. This is not an accident. It’s a political choice. I look forward to the day a Government Minister resigns over this national disgrace. #RightToFoodCommission #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice

Got to laugh when we're seeing scenes literally identical to Kristallnacht on the streets of Belfast while the fearless, indomitable, iconoclastic journalists of Great Britain continue to reserve this comparison for pensioners holding Free Palestine signs

Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country. Time for him to pipe down.

X is suppressing this thread. I've watched and seen the reposts reduce before my eyes. The owner of this platform doesn't want you to understand the threat to this country posed by him and those he sponsors. Please share.

You created them. Every single one of those NEETs is a product of your former party's choices. The ones you made while you were in Cabinet. Adult education and apprenticeship spending: 25% lower in 2024-25 than when your former party took office (IFS, Nuffield Foundation). Publicly funded adult further education courses: fell from 5.4 million in 2004 to 1.7 million by the time you left office. A 70% reduction, the majority of it on your watch (IFS, January 2026). College funding per student: 11% lower in real terms than 2010. Sixth-form funding per student: 23% lower (IFS, January 2025). Adults taking qualifications at GCSE level and below: down 50%. At A-level equivalent: down 33% (IFS, Nuffield Foundation). Intermediate apprenticeship starts, the entry-level route for young people without degrees: collapsed from 200,000 in 2010 to fewer than 50,000 by 2020. Your government did that (IFS). Youth services: cut by 70% since 2010 (Mind, Big Mental Health Report 2025) . You had 14 years to invest in British young people. You cut adult education by 25%. You cut FE courses by 70%. You cut college funding. You cut sixth-form funding. You cut apprenticeships for the people who needed them most. You cut youth services. Then you left office and started tweeting bollocks about NEETs as though they materialised from thin air. The £5,000 Reeves is offering is a reimbursement of the Immigration Skills Charge, a levy your own government introduced in 2017 to fund domestic skills training. You created the charge. You collected the money. And you still cut the training budget by 25%. And these visas are for high-skilled workers: doctors, engineers, specialists in fields where your 14 years of cuts left a workforce gap so deep that British employers cannot fill it domestically. They are not competing with NEETs. They are filling holes your government drilled. You were Home Secretary. You were Attorney General. You sat in Cabinet while all of this happened. You do not get to set the house on fire and then complain about the smoke.

It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones. Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data. 89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white. Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups". The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime. The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict. The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred". A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates". Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product. Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence. Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders. Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions. The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%. And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat. A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging. A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend. The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite. The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.

A society reveals itself by what it is willing to give its children. If we believe that every child matters, then we must ask why some are offered the company of machines whilst those who can afford continue to receive the guidance, attention and care of human beings. Research from Brookings warns that the risks of AI in education may currently outweigh its benefits, including the danger of cognitive offloading (the surrender of thought itself) as young people become dependent on machines to do the work of reasoning, questioning and understanding. Technology may be a useful servant, but it is a poor substitute for human presence. No child should be asked to accept automation in place of investment, relationship and expertise. The measure of our commitment to equality is not whether we can provide the cheapest solution for the poorest children, but whether we are prepared to give every child what we know to be best.

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now: • Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces. • Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile. • Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings. • Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models. • Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees. • Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised). This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon. This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.

You say that post-Floyd DEI training created the policing culture that killed Henry Nowak. This is testable. If you're right, the pattern should begin after 2020. It doesn't. Christopher Alder, 1998. Falklands veteran. Dragged handcuffed and unconscious into a Hull custody suite. Left face down on the floor. Officers stood around while he choked to death. Ten minutes before anyone helped. Inquest: unlawful killing. Five officers charged. All acquitted. Sean Rigg, 2008. Schizophrenic man, died at Brixton police station after restraint. Inquest found "unsuitable and unnecessary force" and police failings "more than minimally" contributed to his death. Robert Edwards, 2011. Died in a Suffolk cell. The IPCC found police "failed to take appropriate care" and didn't carry out proper welfare checks. The coroner said he should never have been deemed fit for detention. Wayne Couzens, 2015–2021. Reported for indecent exposure in 2015. Kent Police had his name, address, and plate number. The investigating sergeant knew his brother, also a police officer. No action. Failed vetting twice, still became a Met officer. Exposed himself days before murdering Sarah Everard. The investigating officer lied about CCTV. Three forces had twenty years of red flags. Nothing to do with DEI Post-Floyd, still no DEI involvement: Stephen Reardon, 2023, had seizures in a police van while the officer said he was "playing games". Died. Jerome Cowan, 2022, found unresponsive in a library, officers failed to provide first aid. Died. A man at St Erth, 2022, left drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station on a cold night, officers drove past without stopping. Died. All officers dismissed or facing gross misconduct. Same pattern every time. A person in distress needs help, officers dismiss it or walk away. It happened in 1998, 2008, 2011, 2022, 2023, and 2025. DEI didn't create it. It predates it by a generation. You also claim "determined, institutional silence". The Speaker acknowledged the case on 1 June. The Home Secretary called it "a horrifying act" and Digwa's false accusation "an evil act" in an oral statement to the Commons on 2 June. Debated in both Houses. Starmer and Baddenoch clashed over it. Front-page news for a week. There is no silence. You invented it because your baseless argument needs it. You ask pretentiously what you call a system where a dying teenager's word counts for less than his killer's. I'd ask you: what do you call a system where Christopher Alder choked to death on a custody floor in 1998 while officers stood around, and twenty-seven years later Henry Nowak bled to death saying the same words? That is an ideology. But not the one you're describing. It's an institutional ideology of indifference to people in police custody, and it has been killing people for decades. Blaming a training course that's existed for five years for a rot that's existed for hundreds of years isn't analysis. It's a deflection that protects the actual dangerous ideology.

Not one comment is about how "this movie glorifies stealing" like the rightwingers said when coming after I Love Boosters Its cuz there's been yrs of hysteria built around shoplifting, framed around black & brown folks as a way 2 scapegoat them capitalism's necessitated poverty

“Officer, I’ve been stabbed” “No you haven’t, due to mandatory woke lessons I was given by the left” Is this the version of events we are all being forced to pretend has happened?

It was a political class-wide shibboleth that this must be allowed to happen in Birmingham.

I wonder whether, in @BBCNews editorial meetings, anyone suggests things like the leader of Raise the Colours - something that initiated a major national conversation - being charged with murder? Or Farage not reporting his Russian hack claim? And if they do, who shuts them down?

Disgusting take from the @BBC tonight. AI was trained from human creative work without consent. There was nobody on the panel to represent the £145.8 billion UK creative industries.

The thing about these kinds of Gen AI use cases is that the BBC could have easily made this video before these tools existed - you could do it with actors in makeup, you could do it with traditional VFX. The fact that you're only doing it now means you only thought it was worth doing once the cost was essentially zero. That is to say, the content's existence has become a tacit acknowledgement of its own worthlessness.

This requires a considered response. I will set one out now. A think tank that undermines efforts to combat climate change while being bankrolled by Gulf states and which is led by an utterly discredited politician who led the UK into an illegal war can kindly go do one.

Buses are shit, driving lessons cost a fortune, insurance companies screw you if you pass, younger people are screwed on minimum wages lower than their colleagues…it’s not a bedroom generation, it’s a locked in generation who can’t afford the key to get out.

I’m gonna need non radical white Brits to start apologising for John Cleese, I don’t make the rules ok?

24 goals and assists for MGW so far this season. 👏
