I thought I'd never have a photo of my son's involvement in today's breath-taking ceremony. So thank you, @vghirda and @Telegraph

Only Reform UK has a plan to make welfare work. ✅

Today's gaslighting from our @uklabour Prime Minister is that Brexit made it more difficult to deport illegal immigrants. He is talking about the Dublin III agreement, which we left when we exited the EU. Fact is, more than 90% of the deportations we asked for under this agreement were refused and in practice its operation meant we took more than twice as many in as we were allowed to deport:

The exact opposite of what Labour heavyweight, Denis Healey, said in 1969: “Once we cut defence expenditure to the extent where our security is imperilled, we have no houses, we have no hospitals, we have no schools. We have a heap of cinders.”

So now we know. Explicitly, in terms, the Prime Minister has told us that national security cannot be at the expense of social security. He would rather spend money on those who cannot or will not work than on protecting all of us from Russia or the invasion on our south coast. We should hate this Government just as much as they hate us. bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckqxvgjx…

Listening, understanding and acting. Three things this Government fails ever to do.

Great to see @reformparty_uk top brass out in Portsmouth. Meanwhile the other parties are just Tweeting about it. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

This is an ACTUAL image of the ‘far right thugs’ that Labour have called the protestors in Portsmouth who blocked streets. It’s irresponsible of the government to label concerned residents a sweeping name like ‘thug’. No they aren’t thugs. They are people who love their country

Policing minister Sarah Jones @LabourSJ should have learned from Southport that it is no use simply condemning behaviour, Government needs to act to address the causes. And stop blaming the Tories. You have had 2 years to stop the boats, plenty of time if you did the right things. And if you don't know what to do, my DMs are open.

Reform judicial reviews strike again. 🫡

Britian is being invaded and the Govt is complicit Reform would rescue and return to France not allow ourselves to be invaded Only Reform will stop the boats

HAPPENING NOW: Migrants arriving. Not in Kent. Now, in Hampshire. Only Reform will stop the invasion.

I imagine this is the boat that left earlier from Cherbourg. The theatre now extends for more than 500km of French and Belgian coast on the mainland, and from Hampshire to Essex here. It is time for the Government to declare this as the national emergency it clearly is, followed by decisive, swift and strong action to protect our nation.

Theresa May's infamous "crying wolf" speech. Repost every time you see a Conservative bleating about Middlesborough and crime. Labour are terrible; Tories were actually worse. Kemi should apologise and make amends for Tory damage to law and order. piped.video/watch?v=-68idoJI…

🚨Hotel numbers halved. That’s the headline. The rest doesn’t hold up. 16,021 people in hotels at end of June 2026 — down 50% from 32,041. True. They were moved into houses, flats and HMOs. About 69,000 now live in communities. Total on asylum support is still around 93,000. The hotels closed. The people didn’t leave. “Asylum backlog down” only covers initial decisions (around 40,000). The appeals backlog hit a record 87,450 cases by March 2026 — up 70% in a year, covering roughly 114,000 people waiting an average 67 weeks. Faster refusals just shifted the queue into the courts. The overall caseload is not cleared. The 80,286 “returns and deportations” since July 2024 mix enforced removals with voluntary departures. Only 19,622 were enforced. Only 11,733 were foreign national offenders. Only 6,103 were small-boat arrivals — 7.6% of the ~81,000 who crossed since the election. Most of the 80k figure is not forced removal of Channel arrivals. Small boats are down in 2026. They are not low. The fall tracks a wider drop in irregular arrivals into the EU. The France returns deal sent back about 1,100 people. Illegal working arrests *are* up. That claim stands. However less than 3% are detained rest are bailed. Hotel use fell because people were dispersed into towns and villages, not because the system is under control. Initial decisions sped up; appeals exploded. The 80k returns number is not 80k deportations of recent illegal arrivals.
