Liberal Britain fails to recognise that the ruling class have skilfully managed to convince the working class that their problem is due to immigration & Islam, having already convinced them it was all the fault of the EU. We’re heading for full blown fascism & the left is asleep

Next week marks a decade since the EU referendum. A clear majority now believe that #Brexit was a mistake and would vote to rejoin the EU. Politicians, on the other hand, are still dithering. It’s time to show them we want action.

The BBC investigative piece yesterday about who was behind the arson attacks on Starmer's property, and the links to civil unrest across the UK, demonstrates how a bad actor can very easily destabilise a democracy. We have been played and we really need to wake up. #r4today

I met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. The United Kingdom has taken new important decisions in support of Ukraine and introduced new sanctions steps against Russia’s shadow fleet. Thank you! All of this works towards peace. I informed Keir about the consequences of the recent Russian strikes. We discussed the possible participation of the United Kingdom in the restoration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the implementation of the agreements reached during today’s G7–Ukraine meeting, potential areas for further pressure on Russia, and steps to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. Thank you, Keir Starmer, for your unwavering support for our people.

The EU and the UK are accelerating the largest European military budget increase in 80 years. By 2030, European defence spending is projected to reach around €800bn, roughly 2.5x China’s current military spending and more than 4x Russia’s. Europe is becoming the largest military power in Eurasia. Germany, Poland, France, Italy, the Nordics, the Baltics and the UK are all expanding budgets, procurement, ammunition production, air defence, drones, cyber, space and industrial capacity. EU defence spending already reached €343bn in 2024 and €381bn in 2025, up 63% since 2020.

"Thames Water moves step closer to nationalisation after government objects to rescue deal." Based on Ofwat's past performance and record for decision making who can blame govt for being rattled by the whole thing. That said govt could and should end the misery for Thames Water's customers today, and all with nothing more than the stroke of a pen. It should be nationalised, today, this morning, this very minute, right now. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly0…

The EU is behind you, dear @ZelenskyyUa, today, tomorrow, as long as necessary. Yesterday, we made history by opening the first accession negotiation cluster on Fundamentals. And the first disbursement of the €90 billion support loan is imminent, with a strong focus on drones and defence capabilities. You and the Ukrainian people are doing extraordinary efforts. On the battlefield. And on reforms. It is paying off, across the board. The tide is turning for Ukraine.

- Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy: "The war of Russian aggression against Ukraine tells us exactly this: that faced with those who would drag us back to the time of wars of domination and neo-imperialist ambitions, reason can still prevail. We are here to reiterate that Russia must stop its aggressive policy Russia can restore peace to Ukraine by withdrawing from the neighbour it invaded... Russia could easily restore peace at any time by withdrawing from the illegally occupied territories" Great woman 🫡

Zelenskyy has once again met with Trump. The leader of the free world frequently meets with the 80-year-old U.S. president. More importantly, this meeting is taking place on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit. Before 2022, Russia was part of the Group of Eight. Now, as the author sarcastically puts it, it has become China’s “number six.”

She was such a beauty. Inside and out
Today I'm thinking of Jo Cox, her family, friends and her very important message: “We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.” Do not let hate win.

I can't understand why President Zelensky bothers to meet with Trump. Trump has all along made clear that he supports Russia & opposes Ukraine. He should be boycotted, not courted.

Immigrants on work and study visas already pay double for the NHS. They pay the full £1035 Immigration Health Surcharge upfront before they arrive then full National Insurance from their wages. Converting a student visa to skilled worker costs £4000 to £5000. Your foreign worker levy will hammer care sector staffing. There are over 110000 vacancies because most British people will not do those jobs. The result will be collapsing services, NHS bed blocking and colossal economic damage. These slogans ignore reality. You are simply out of your mind now. x.com/reformparty_uk/status/…
