🚨 This is how easily politicians can twist data. 📊 A Labour MP just claimed that inflation was higher under the Conservatives last term. ✅ Technically true… ❌ But here’s the catch: that period included a GLOBAL PANDEMIC 🌍🦠 when governments had no choice but to print money to keep people alive. 📉 In fact, the Tories were already bringing inflation down, exactly what a responsible government should do after such a crisis. ⚡ Fast forward to the election: inflation has shot back UP ⬆️🔥. And this time? No pandemic. No global meltdown. Just… Labour’s incompetence 🤦‍♂️. 🤔 That’s the trick: politicians cherry-pick data 📈📉 to spin the story their way. But looking at the chart, it seems clear 👉 Labour comes out looking worse than the Conservatives.

Greens easily the most unpleasant. Conservatives easily the nicest. I think two abusive tweets across several months. Can’t wait to find out what the Lib Dems are like. I hear they’re total animals.

Of course, logically it’s possible to care about multiple issues at once. The problem is what your priorities and energy signal. As a local councillor, devoting significant time and prominence to the Palestine issue suggests your focus is elsewhere when local residents are dealing with housing, council tax, planning, and services. The multilingual leaflets reinforce this impression. Translating into languages spoken primarily in Islamic countries, while omitting others such as Mandarin, French, Polish or Portuguese, makes it look like the campaign is targeting a specific community rather than serving the whole ward. It gives the strong impression that the Green Party has been captured by a sectarian voting bloc rather than acting as a broad-based local party.

Zack Polanski is a dangerous, dishonest, far-left extremist and a complete fraud. The mask has finally slipped. And the public DO NOT like what they see! Me with the excellent @Iromg

Britain’s prisons are being overrun by Islamist gangs. Self-styled ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ leaders control wings in many high-security prisons. And instead of isolating them, the system is protecting them - not officers or the public. Here’s how it’s happening. A thread (1/11)👇

Seems like you're struggling with this one. The answer is Islamism @rachelmillward .
This is magnificent. A man on BBCQT asks Rachel Millward from the Greens to specify where she thinks racial hatred comes from. She can't answer. He tries again She still can't answer. So nervously waffles on about the cost of living. He beautifully exposes her stupidity 🔥

The Green Party has been hijacked. It is now a poisonous vessel for islamist extremism and antisemitism in Britain.

OMG it's not just engagement farmers making false claims that the "richest people in society" have failed to pay £500bn tax.

If you think Britain is struggling now, hold onto something solid. Because the Green Party, currently polling ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives, has published a programme that makes this government's failures look like a golden age of competence and order. Start with immigration. Not controlled immigration. Not managed migration. Open borders. The Greens' own internal documents describe a system that treats every arrival as a citizen in waiting, entitled to NHS access, welfare benefits and the right to vote in all elections, including those who have never achieved settled status. A Panmure Liberum analysis estimates that under Green government, net migration would run at around 900,000 a year, adding 4.4 million people to Britain's population by 2034. Call it what it is. A demographic transformation imposed without consent. Germany provides the evidence of what happens when a government throws open its doors and works out the consequences later. Angela Merkel's open borders decision in 2015 was greeted with the same progressive applause the Greens would generate. According to German government statistics by 2021, asylum seekers made up 2.5 percent of Germany's population but 13.1 percent of all sexual assault suspects. In 2023 there were 761 registered gang rapes, almost two every day, nearly half involving foreign suspects. Knife crimes in North Rhine-Westphalia nearly tripled between 2020 and 2023. Berlin's own police chief stated publicly that violence in the capital was young, male and had a non-German background. The lesson sits there, documented, ignored, while Zack Polanski's party proposes to repeat the experiment at four times the speed, in a country already facing an active Iranian state threat and twenty foiled terrorist plots on British soil. Then there are the other policies. Legalised heroin and crack cocaine. The disestablishment of the Church of England, severing a constitutional settlement that has held for five centuries. A conference that descended into chaos over a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism while party WhatsApp groups contained messages describing Jews as an abomination to this planet. The abolition of immigration detention. Amnesty for every failed asylum seeker. And the scrapping of Prevent, which for all its flaws has kept people alive, at the precise moment MI5 assesses the domestic threat as the most complex it has ever faced. Picture the Britain that emerges from a single Green parliament. A population swollen by four million, the border a memory, detention abolished, Prevent gone, heroin dispensed on the high street, the Church disestablished, campuses already hostile to Jewish students rendered ungovernable, and the IRGC, which this Labour government cannot bring itself to proscribe, operating freely through networks the state has just defunded its ability to monitor. Labour under Starmer is a kakistocracy, paralysed by demography and incapable of naming what it can see. That is dangerous enough. The Green Party is not paralysed. It has a programme, a growing membership of 226,000, a youth wing that is the largest in Europe and a polling trajectory built on a generation of left wing progressives processed through captured institutions who have been taught to call this manifesto enlightenment. It knows exactly what it wants and it is acquiring the means to deliver it. What is happening now will seem like order.

The Green Party represent a real danger to the UK. Their fantasy policies, like introducing a 10:1 pay ratio are more extreme than the Soviet Union ever achieved at its peak. As a reminder, during the reign of the Soviet Union, millions of people starved, froze, or were worked to death as a direct result of government regulation of food, energy, and enterprise. Central planning didn’t fail because of bad luck. It failed because it ignored human nature, market signals, and the basic mechanics of how economies function. The Green Party’s answer to every problem is more control. Cap what people earn. Regulate what businesses can charge. Dictate how energy is produced and distributed. They dress it up in the language of fairness and climate. But the architecture underneath is the same the state knows best, the market is the enemy, and individual ambition is a problem to be managed. The UK does not have endless money. It does not have endless resources. It has a £2.7 trillion national debt, a productivity crisis, and a shrinking tax base. Policies built on the assumption of infinite wealth don’t just fail. They cause real harm to real people.
🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs

A 10:1 pay ratio sounds simple, but it runs into real world problems. In large companies, the numbers just don’t work, tying CEO pay to the lowest wage would either force unrealistic pay rises for thousands of employees or require cutting top salaries in ways businesses won’t accept. It could also reduce tax revenue. High earners already pay a large share of income tax, and strict limits would likely push them to restructure income (e.g. contracting or moving abroad), meaning less tax overall. On top of that, enforcing it would be complex and costly, with government needing to monitor pay across companies and roles. So while it aims to reduce inequality, it risks being impractical, expensive to enforce, and counterproductive.

Why Socialism Doesn't Work, Explained for a 10-Year-Old. You're in a class of 30 students. One kid works like crazy and gets an 18 average. Another does nothing and gets a 4. The teacher decides it's unfair and gives everyone the class average: 11. The one who had 18 stops working. Why bother if it changes nothing? The one who had 4 keeps doing nothing. Why work if you're handed 11 for free? The next year the class average is 7. Then 5. Then 3. The teacher doesn't get it. He thinks the problem is that the students aren't supportive enough of each other. So he starts punishing those who don't put in enough effort. He monitors everyone. He decides who studies what. He bans switching classes. That's exactly what happened. Every time. In every country. No exceptions. USSR, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, East Germany. 40 attempts. Same result. Every time. Socialism punishes those who produce and rewards those who don't. Everyone ends up producing nothing. And when no one's producing anymore, the government uses force to make people work. It's not an accident. It's the design. - @brivael

Leadership Or Lip Service? Nigel Farage The only one pointing at root causes. Links rising antisemitism to wider security issues. Not comfortable, but direct. Rupert Lowe Silence. No statement, no stance, nothing. At a time when every major leader has spoken, that absence stands out. Leadership is also about showing up. Keir Starmer Safe and predictable. Hollow words, zero depth. Focused on optics over solutions. Zack Polanski Turns a targeted antisemitic attack into a “both sides” issue. Dilutes the reality of what happened. Kemi Badenoch Firm tone, but reactive. Policing after the fact, not prevention. Ed Davey Says the right words. Offers nothing beyond that. I know who I want as my next leader. Vote Reform.
