Read this open statement by Signal and your jaw will hit the floor. Govts always use “protecting children” as their guise for more control and censorship. I interviewed a prev Govt minister, who wrote the Online Safety Bill, and asked if they could tell me how a VPN worked. They couldn’t. These are the people writing these laws. This new tool is another dangerous form of silent oppression that once again uses children’s safety as a guise to control the masses. We can protect children online, but that starts at home, with parents, not in the Home Office, GCHQ, Apple, Google, Microsoft or Samsung.

359 civil servants. Currently working from Greek and Spanish holiday resorts. 140 of them from Ed Miliband’s department. The same department whose minister said “further slippage is not acceptable.” Meanwhile ordinary British families are skipping holidays this summer because they can’t afford them. This is not flexible working. This is one rule for them. Another for everyone else.

Britain is no longer a democracy. A UK woman claims she was repeatedly harassed outside her own home by a group of migrants. Despite multiple complaints, police allegedly took no action. When she threatened to go to the media, officers reportedly warned her she could be arrested for “inciting racial hatred.” The situation worsened when a man who helped expose the case was reportedly arrested and handcuffed. This is classic two-tier policing, protecting the perpetrators while silencing British citizens.

Watch our General Secretary Lord Young ask Baroness Lloyd how the Government plans to safeguard against the obvious risk of requiring technology companies like Apple to scan private messages before they're received or sent — what's known as client-side scanning? History teaches us that that mass surveillance and censorship capabilities, however well intentioned, never remain narrowly scoped. Watch Lord Young below 👇

"In announcing the decision to set a 87% target cut in emissions, the DESNZ press release prominently featured the claim that “the net zero economy supports over one million jobs in the UK”. The claim is a lie. More than that, it is also blackmail." @Ed_Miliband is running round claiming there are over 1 million green jobs. This makes people think a million new jobs have been created as a result of the energy transition This is totally wrong. Many of these so called green jobs have nothing to do with net zero eg in the waste sector. In reality, just 113,200 jobs can be directly linked to net zero and they come at a huge cost If net zero had any real economic benefits the green lobby and @UKLabour wouldn't need to lie about it But pretending binmen represent some kind of net zero jobs boom is pretty pathetic notalotofpeopleknowthat.word…

Sorry but I don't agree It will be difficult to implement a ban on any group of people that doesn't remove online privacy and security from everyone and I'm totally against that The better course is to teach children how to navigate the digital world safely Teach them about bias Teach them that not everything you read online (or offline) is true Teach them how algorithms work Teach them how to reset the algorithms Teach them how to avoid harmful context Teach them how to safely report illegal content or contact Teach them how to recognise their feelings about different content and what to do about it Teach them how to access IRL support We don't teach children road safety by banning them from going near roads

Is anyone else sick of ministers not answering questions in Parliament? By allowing them to make irrelevant statements in response to questions, the Speaker risks making Parliament itself redundant - if ministers are not required to answer questions asked in the House then one of the main functions of Parliament is lost So today I have written to @CommonsSpeaker to express my concerns, referencing Energy questions last week @ClaireCoutinho asked @Ed_Miliband who is responsible if there is a blackout in the UK and what would happen to them if there was one He accused her of scaremongering, expressed sorrow that she no longer supports net zero and made some totally unconnected comment about green jobs What he did not do is answer any part of her question and the Speaker said nothing. No requirement to answer the question. No reprimand for talking irrelevant waffle. Nothing Week in and week out we see the same at PMQs - @KemiBadenoch asks a question and @Keir_Starmer lurches through some pre-prepared answer often on another topic, or complaining about the record of the previous government or Liz Truss or whatever his pet peeve of the day is So what's the point? If ministers and the PM are allowed to simply say any old rubbish when asked a question and not even pretend to answer it, why bother with the whole charade? Why bother with Parliament? Why not just have a few committees drafting legislation and taking evidence from third parties? By allowing this, the Speaker's Office is reducing the House of Commons into meaningless spectacle. It's simple theatre without substance and without purpose If Sir Lindsay Hoyle wants to play a supporting role on the stage, London's West End has plenty of opportunities for this. The Palace of Westminster is not one of them @HouseofCommons

When renewables generate more than we can handle and the surplus gets exported at low prices. UK consumers still pay the subsidies for this output, so we're subsidising EU consumers.

Remember Labours pre election promise that there would be no increases in taxation? Since they slithered into Downing Street on a manifesto of complete bullshit, on average, they’ve introduce a new tax every 10 days.

This is a man-made tragedy all down to energy policies that have pushed prices higher in search of a carbon ambition at home and simply pushing businesses to the wall.

I see that guys arrested last night for fighting with police in Southampton have been remanded and will be sentenced in July !! Amazing that isn’t it 2 people smashed a police women’s nose across her face punched another 3 police officers all under perfect view of airport cameras . 2 years ago and 2 trials ago No verdict no sentence ?? Can someone please tell me how this is happening ?

Another MP who desperately needs my free energy training Intermittent renewables will NEVER be cheaper They require backup They require more expensive real time balancing They require orders of magnitude more grid infrastructure than conventional generation And they STILL require massive subsidies All of that gets added to bills and is the reason bills are going up not down

🇺🇸🧐“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…” Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share. This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating: “Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive. A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages. You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re simply too poor to afford bail. Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years. Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you. And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster. And you call Greenland badly governed? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’ When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years. And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess. You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy. So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan. The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth. And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

When Labour took office, headline inflation was 2pc. That same figure has since averaged 3.1pc, compared to 2.7pc in the US over the same period, 2.2pc in Germany and 1.9pc in France. “We promised to cut inflation – and we have”, said Reeves last week. That statement is arrant nonsense, despite last month's one-off inflation fall – as will soon become painfully clear. 🧵6/6 telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Starmer is provided with a four bedroom apartment in Westminster, free of charge. It is not taxed as a "benefit in kind" and the Council tax is only £1600/year.

Britain last again in Eurovision. The BBC pays about £1.5 Million a year. More when hosting: "When Liverpool hosted on behalf of Ukraine in 2023, the BBC's contribution reportedly reached between £8–17 million, with additional funding from the UK government (£10 million) and local authorities (£4 million)." Is it a sound investment?
