OK - we know #Reform is a one trick pony - although in saying that #immigration is an important issue.
But if @UKLabour does not sort this issue out in the next year or so then expect #Labour to lose a huge number of seats at the next GE.
I assume @ShabanaMahmood already knows this.
I will not tolerate countries who won't take back illegal migrants.
I'll impose tariffs, airline bans and visa bans on any country that refuses.
Only Reform will end the invasion of our country forever.

I’ve been in Darnall on Fridays when it’s the Muslims main prayer day - the streets full of people visiting mosques - and I found the people very friendly.
But then again - people from South Asia or people that originate from South Asia are the best - the nicest people I’ve ever encountered.
If Darnall in Sheffield really is a no-go area for whites, then how come I’ve been there dozens of times over the years as a white bloke and never had any issues?

DILAPIDATED buildings are set to be brought back into use thanks to a huge national fund which will regenerate local communities and breathe life into rundown streets.

Watching this @TuckerCarlson interview was scary.
Tucker is supposed to be an intelligent educated fella.
If he hasn’t a clue about the #UK and #Europe in general - then what’s the rest of the population in places such as the Mid-West thinking ?
Clearly it’s a sign of poor educational standards in a very detached country - which adds to the worry about this powerful country.

Carlson’s talk with Rees-Mogg displayed breathtaking levels of ignorance and naìvety. How come a man with such influence in the US can be so stupid and ill-informed? Rees-Mogg eviscerated him.

. @TuckerCarlson is one of the top media personalities in
#America.
If Carlson, who is considered an educated political commentator hasn’t a basic understanding of the UK - then things must really be bad amongst the general population in the #USA.
A relatively uneducated inward looking population in the most powerful country in the world - a recipe for extremely dangerous politicians to float to the top.

Brutal exchange: Tucker Carlson incorrectly tells Jacob Rees-Mogg that Russia has "a much larger economy" than Britain.
It doesn't: by GDP, Britain's is about $4.0 trillion and Russia's about $2.5 trillion.
Corrected, Carlson retreats to "GDP is not the only measure," then to Russia's "inherent wealth."
Rees-Mogg: "Inherent wealth isn't very useful, is it? There are lots of African countries that have huge resources that have never been able to use them."
Carlson: "It depends what your timeline is."
Rees-Mogg: "Well, if you go for hundreds of years, they haven't used them. Russia has consistently been a poor country in spite of its resources."
Carlson: "I don't agree, but I will grant you that."

The Lower Derwent SSSI is wrapped in wildlife legislation and guidelines.
So if they are able to rotovate organic material into their (wader) scrapes then what’s stopping #RSPB Old Moor doing the same on all their areas designated for wading birds !?!?!
I’ve been advocating doing this at Old Moor ever since it was created all those years ago.
Since Mr Gascoigne took his cattle off - the attractiveness of Wath Ings (and now Old Moor) for waders has decreased year on year.
Staff @RSPB_OldMoor should be putting 100% effort into creating better areas to attract as many birds as possible.
But that’s not the case - too much emphasis on watching birds.
There’s plenty of volunteer birders along the Dearne that can do that job.

We’ve also been able to rotovate the scrapes at Bank Island recently – incorporating organic material back into the soil, which will result in a flush of invertebrate activity next summer and provide food for our wading bird species.

This just doesn’t apply to the issue of immigration - it applies to all aspects of the last #Conservative government.
As a result - Conservative supporters such as @afneil are making themselves look rather foolish in their attempts to criticise the #Labour Party.
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
TORIES have some brassneck lecturing Labour about Piddington. THEY lost control of our borders. THEY rolled out the red carpet for foreign invaders, year after year after year. They put the 'human rights' of criminals ahead of national security. They should never be forgiven.

If you’re from Bristol you support City or Rovers.

Darwin understood and wrote about the importance of earthworms - and yet here we have another example of #British #farmers poisoning our countryside.
@FarmingUK
@JeremyClarkson
Modern farming has decimated #earthworms According to the Earthworm Society, populations have plummeted by up to 41% over the last 25 years. Worms are now rare or absent in two out of five farm fields & 42% of fields have poor worm biodiversity. wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/…

#Dolly
A beautiful genius.
The coat of many colours just got duller with your passing.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

‘To put homes where transport already is’
Something that @BarnsleyCouncil should take note of when they are looking to dump hundreds of houses in fields at the side of Darfield.
Even within the initial environmental statement it admits that the bus service is inadequate and the nearest train station is over 2 miles away.

It might be hot.
But this year is very likely to be the most comfortable weather we will experience for the rest of our life’s.
Significant swings in weather patterns from one year to the next will become the norm - each year becoming either hotter or colder - drier or wetter.
Previous hottest was only last summer ! ‘Summer 2026 on course to be UK's hottest on record’ , says Met Office bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/c…

The importance of a proper High Street.
If only @BarnsleyCouncil Planning Department had listened to the people of Darfield 🤷🏻♂️
A constituency of 10,500 residents with no High Street.
Resulting in:
Absence of readily available fresh food.
Isolation of individuals, mainly the elderly, stuck in their own homes with nowhere to go to meet family, neighbours and friends.
All adding to increase in anti social behaviour and health issues.

@NicFirth
The PM's move to give communities and councils new planning controls over their high streets is welcome.
Betting & vape shops are emblematic of long term decline - giving people a real say in how their streets are run/designed is a great step in empowering those feeling forgotten

This Summer is hot. Very hot.
But on average this is the least extreme weather you’ll experience for the rest of your life.
@KevinClimate is a voice you simply can’t ignore on this stuff.
