Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

It's almost as though things you say on social media can have real world consequences after all.

“Ted, would you like to pretend to be in a shadow cabinet with me?”

Absolute class from Bedford Borough Council. @BedfordTweets 👏🏽 😂

I’d quite like it if he turned up for work a bit more often.

Greenland, i think you can sleep tight 👍

Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan Pretti: “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”

Reform UK Council Tax Hikes Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 10% Warwickshire: 5% Leicestershire: 2.9% Kent: 3.9% Lincolnshire: 4.9% Staffordshire: 3.9% West Northamptonshire: 4.9% Derbyshire: 4.9% North Northamptonshire: 4.9% Nottinghamshire: 4.84% Lancashire: 5% Reform UK campaigned on a platform of criticising councils for raising tax and cutting services during the local elections. They’re doing just that now. Hypocrites and liars.

He’s going to end up invading Graceland isn’t he

He's taken my advice and deleted it. Too late:

If someone tries to run you over, and you shoot them to prevent it, that’s self-defense. If you kind of but not really almost get hit by a car because you’re standing near the front corner, harassing a driver with no actual legal authority, and then once you’re out of harms way, you shoot the driver… you’re just a murderer who made your own uniform.

So... You were elected to represent your constituents in The Commons = Which you can't be bothered to do. You were elected to represent your constituents in Clacton = Which you can't be bothered to do not even owning a house there. You were elected to help your constituents in Clacton = Which you can't be bothered to do, using "security dangers" as an excuse for not holding surgeries, when you are quite free to walk the streets campaigning and sit in the public gallery at the Commons. You are so full of shit. You are just lazy and the only person you want to help is yourself.

I’ve done a bit of research into these claims, and here is what I found regarding how Kemi is misrepresenting the facts and why this is pure disinformation: 1. The "Free Car" Myth: Framing this as a "taxpayer-funded car" is a complete distortion of how Motability works. It is exclusively a lease scheme. Claimants voluntarily exchange their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) mobility allowance to cover the lease cost. If you remove their access to the car, the state still pays them that cash allowance. The cost to the taxpayer is identical; the only difference is that disabled people lose their independence. 2. The "Mild" Condition Lie: This is the most dangerous part. You cannot get the Enhanced Mobility Rate (required for a car) for "low-level" anxiety or "mild" depression. To qualify, a condition must be severe enough to functionally prevent a person from planning or following a journey safely. Framing debilitating psychological distress as "mild" is a calculated move to stigmatise disabled people and incite public anger. 3. Cherry-picked Stats: The claim that a "third of all sales" come from this scheme is statistically misleading. Nationally, the figure is closer to 15%. Using extreme regional outliers to imply the entire market is skewed is simply dishonest. This isn't about "fixing welfare"; it’s about stripping independence from vulnerable people to score political points. Readers, please check the actual criteria before falling for this spin. #Motability #PIP #DisabilityRights #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #DisabilityTwitter #FactCheck #DWP #ToryChaos

Ever wondered where your tax money actually goes? 💷 @BBCNews broke it down by imagining we each handed the Government £100. Here’s how that £100 was spent in 2023–24: £22 → NHS £6 → Defence £10 → Education £10 → Debt interest £11.40 → State pensions £4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support) £0.50 → Asylum system £0.70 → Overseas aid What strikes me most is this: immigration dominates headlines and public debate, consistently ranking as one of the nation’s top concerns — yet the asylum system accounts for just 0.5% of public spending. A reminder that sometimes the loudest issues aren’t the largest ones. #Budget2026

Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. Do you own a suit? A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the dignity of this office.
