🚨 HERE IS WHAT LABOUR DID TO GREAT BRITAIN IN JUST ONE SINGLE WEEK Take a look at the trail of absolute destruction Andy Burnham and his ministers inflicted on this country over the last seven days. *Freed 700 convicted criminals onto British streets early, including violent domestic abusers and foreign offenders released into local communities on immigration bail. *Andy Burnham confirmed on television that he could campaign to drag Britain back into the European Union, after his own aides admitted he ad libbed one third of his conference speech. *Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy backed plans to force every household to pay a compulsory BBC levy on broadband and council tax bills, even if you do not own a television set. *Financial Secretary James Murray imploded on live radio, unable to answer four times in a row how much his own Treasury energy policy will cost the taxpayer. *Nature Minister Jenny Riddell Carpenter branded traditional British pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors a dangerous far right fantasy that never existed. *Official figures revealed Shabana Mahmood is rubber stamping 1,100 permanent settlement applications every single working day, adding 200,000 people to welfare access in a single year. Labour ministers do not have a clue how to run a sovereign nation. They only know how to raise your taxes, police your online speech, empty the prisons, and surrender British borders to the rest of the world. Retweet this immediately to make sure every voter in Britain sees the absolute carnage Labour caused in just seven days.

Yvette Cooper did not take a donation. She took a standing order and called it public service. Almost half a million from Peter Hearn and the companies he controlled, including MPM Connect, a firm with no staff, no website and a registered office at an accountant’s. A business in the same sense a PO box is a headquarters. Hearn’s money came out of recruitment, including the market for senior NHS jobs. Cooper knew. She cashed it, then turned up at Health to protect the service from people exactly like her donor. The defence is a masterpiece. The money was for office staff. Of course it was. Nothing says “independent oversight of NHS recruitment” like a decade of wages paid by a man who recruited for the NHS. Declared, compliant, and utterly shameless. The rules were followed. That is the problem, not the excuse. She should resign. Or she can stay, and Labour can keep explaining that the NHS is safe in its hands, provided those hands have already been generously stuffed.
Why I’ve made maternity care a priority for our NHS. And why I won’t stop until every family gets the care they deserve. Because women and babies must never be treated as second class patients. See my speech in Liverpool this week 👇🌹

Shell is 100% Government funded in the UK. You pay all their wages, for all their Oil Rigs and all their tankers. But the fuel belongs to them. They really are laughing at you.

Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel, and Henry Thomas are starring in Pawn Shop—a new pro-ICE film from Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire that will reenact the murder of Renee Good. How truly heartbreaking and infuriating.

The last two Labour Prime Ministers have been financed by former Israeli soldiers. In 2015, Andy Burnham received £35,000 from David Garrard. In 2020, Keir Starmer received £5000 from Jonathan Kestenbaum.
EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham leadership campaign was funded by Israeli citizen who served with the IDF. To date, no British newspaper has printed this story. But today, I am revealing his identity:🧵

Rachel Millward, "A handful of men control too much for the rest of us.. They are hoarding the world's wealth.. Polluting the planet and now trying to buy our democracy" "That future looks so bleak that the likes of Peter Theil and Elon Musk intent to escape it altogether, to some post human upgrade or to another planet" "Of course it suits the billionaires to distract and divide us" "We've lost so much of our civic spaces: the price of that connecting cuppa is now the price of a lunch" "And so we stay online in the illusion of connection" "Constantly reenforcing feedback lopps, splintering what was left of society" "And I can feel the rising panic, the despair of young people who tell me they are terrified" "that they don't want to live in a future of climate wreckage, and fake everything" "We don't want your post human reality, we want this world, the soil between our toes, the trees that give us shelter and shade, the food we grow with our own hands that tastes of the ground it comes from" "And it might seem crazy, but friends, we have all the power we need. It's between us" My view: Rachel Millward’s warning is not about technology alone. It is about power: who owns it, who profits from it, and who gets to decide what kind of future we live in. While a tiny number hoard wealth, intensify climate breakdown and buy influence over politics and media, we are encouraged to blame one another instead of asking why so much is being taken from the many. The answer is not a billionaire’s escape pod, a “post-human” upgrade, or a synthetic substitute for life. It is a fairer world with real community, affordable public spaces, clean air, living soil, secure homes and democracy that cannot be bought. And that power is not imaginary. It is in the connections between us - when we organise, care for one another and refuse to be divided.

The UAE has invested billions into the UK. When major diplomatic and economic interests are involved, do you really believe one individual’s interests come first? My concern would be that this gets quietly managed, the headlines disappear and a deal is done behind closed doors. He needs to be careful. And well done for speaking out — because he is now a target & become inconvenient, the situation can change very quickly.

This could get very interesting 👀 If Pinto really has more documents and detailed knowledge of the people and companies involved, UK authorities will surely want to hear what he has. The City saga keeps getting deeper. 😳

The Russians continue to turn our infrastructure and everything that supports ordinary life into their targets. This morning in Kyiv, a “shahed” struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge. Overnight, residential buildings, railways, and energy infrastructure in many regions came under Russian attack. In Chornomorsk, a drone struck a vessel. Importantly, our warriors always find a way to justly respond to these attacks and take the war back to where it came from. Over the past 24 hours, our long-range capabilities effectively struck targets serving the aggressor’s war machine. Our sanctions reached the Samara region, as well as the positions of occupiers operating Iskander missile systems in the Bryansk region. There are new results in the Black Sea. I thank all the units involved for their precision and systematic work. Russia must stop its absurd escalation.

“Vivaldi” is a very successful operation. It's not finished yet. As of today, about 125–140 square kilometers have been de-occupied. Importantly, the number of Russians killed and wounded over the last 2–3 months has increased. Since the beginning of the year, they had 30–32,000 casualties per month – 21–22,000 killed and others badly wounded. Now, we are talking about 42,000 casualties a month. So, during the offensive, we lost several times fewer people than Russia, and they have been on the defensive. Our military wanted to start this operation a year ago, but it was not that well prepared yet. Thank God, we decided to postpone it a bit, and now we have good results and fewer losses. From an interview with Reuters. (1/3)

Climate activist gets completely destroyed on TV by a presenter, the presenter didn’t raise her voice. She didn’t need to. A London climate activist turned up on live TV with the usual script: ordinary people must pay more, drive less, heat less, and shut up about it. The presenter shut it down with one plain fact. Working people cannot fund luxury green mandates and still cover rent, food, and the bills. That isn’t denial. That’s arithmetic. You don’t get to call it a climate emergency and then demand policies that hammer the poorest first while the people pushing them fly, lecture, and never feel the cost. Disrupt the roads, glue yourself to the tarmac, then act shocked when someone on television asks who pays. She asked. The activist had no answer. Common sense won on live TV. If your plan only works when everyone else gets poorer, it isn’t a plan. It’s a sermon.

No one should be making profits from vulnerable children. Yet £1 out of every £5 paid to private providers of children’s social care is taken out in profit. The profits are so good that a top civil servant owned shares in a children’s care company. Time to end this scam! Add your name now. weownit.org.uk/act-now/no-pr…

The Labour government is lying to you. A border officer at Manchester Airport says there is a corner of the airfield he can see and is banned from entering. Flights in between 2am and 4am. Three or four a week. Transponders off. Special call sign. Cleared to land. Not screened by Border Force. Met by Home Office staff. Onto unmarked buses. Out a side gate. 200 to 300 people a flight, from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. That is not a leak. That is the government flying people in while telling you the border is under control. Illegal immigrants, delivered by the same people who swore they would stop the boats. They are not failing. They are doing it. And they are lying to the British people about it.

Two weeks after this meeting, Andy Burnham argued Man City’s UAE owners shouldn’t be disqualified from running the club because of the investment they bring to Britain. What did Reynolds tell Burnham about this meeting?
**EXCLUSIVE** Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak met a senior UK government minister to discuss the UAE’s investments in Britain just days before the club’s guilty verdicts were announced. Al Mubarak asked to meet Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds on 14 September in his capacity as CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, sources tell Bloomberg. The pair held a private meeting in Downing Street on that date, the people said. Al Mubarak talked about current and future UAE investment in Britain, they said. The conversation covered the full range of the relationship including defence, security, intelligence and trade, they said. Eleven days later, on 25 September, the Athletic reported Man City had been found guilty of breaking Premier League rules. On 29 September, the Premier League confirmed Manchester City had been found guilty of artificially boosting its balance sheet by more than £900 million. The fact of the meeting so close to the verdict will raise further questions about the UK government’s handling of the case. Andy Burnham has faced criticism, including from his own ministers and officials, after he publicly suggested Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified from running the club because of the investment they bring to Britain. Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Emirati officials have warned the UK government that the severity of the ruling could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If you play with the rich and promise, benefit: Manchester as a whole, the PL, players, smaller clubs, the whole infrastructure of football. You don’t pull the plug with your partners, just because the red cartel is not winning enough but spending the same money.
