If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Apologies to the neighbours. I will stop laughing at some point.

When I revealed terrorists were using the
small boats to enter the UK, the Home
Office - with the support of Yvette Cooper
- threatened me.


They sought to cover up a national security
emergency.


We may now be seeing the consequences
of their unforgivable complacency,Farage X
How is it that Danny Tommo sits in a cell
while five suspected terrorists are out on
bail?


Is this two-tier Britain, or am I missing
something?RAF base terror suspects are "British
nationals". So were most of the 7/7
terrorists, the murderers of Lee Rigby &
many more


Citizenship is not the same thing as
belonging. And belonging requires more
than a piece of paper.


We should redefine what it means to be
British.Bbc
No explosive devices were found in three
vans searched near RAF Fairford as part of a
terrorism investigation but a quantity of
petrol was recovered, police have said.


Five British nationals were arrested in the
early hours of Sunday morning after a
resident living near the Gloucestershire
airbase reported suspicious activity
involving three vans.

Here is a sample of Denby's economic expertise: "Bond markets... don't believe in Britain, they think we are too much of a risk, because of our out-of-control spending and our out-of-control taxes and all of those things." I hope the Nobel Economics Prize Committee is paying attention.

This is dangerous talk, he should be reprimanded for it.
The United Kingdom is releasing five Muslim terrorists accused of planning an attack on an American airbase.
They should just officially rename themselves the United Islamic Kingdom and get it over with.
What is clear is they are no longer a reliable ally of the United States.

Ending the triple lock isn’t the same as cutting pensions. Thatcher linked the state pension to inflation rather than earnings growth with the result that the value of pensions fell relative to earnings. The triple lock was designed to reverse than trend. It’s done its job. Restore the earnings link

Burnham today v impressive. The idea itself, the scale of what is being proposed, the determination to push ahead despite how vulnerable it makes him, and the big fundamental point behind it all: that mainstream politics will only survive if it proves it can solve big problems.

The terrorists had infiltrated the annual Labour Party conference in Liverpool. Thankfully, steadfast police officers discovered old ladies with deadly weapons such as signs with unapproved words. They have been dragged off to cells and now face up to 14 years in prison. Isn't this brilliant?

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,
