3.8 million for a 200 metre bike lane. That’s £19,000 per metre. This is exactly why taxpayers across Britain are fed up. Councils burn public money while basic services crumble. Read my full take on this project and what Britain could invest in instead: https://t.co/hZLQuUPve2

Two suspected Iranian spies arrested attempting to access HMNB Clyde. A nuclear base. This could have been an unparalleled disaster. It’s time to ask a difficult question: Should the death penalty be reconsidered for acts that threaten national survival?

Britain just spent over £95 million on a tunnel for bats. Rare species saved. Taxpayer money gone. HS2 proves that in Britain, symbolic environmental gestures often outweigh common sense. Full story: https://t.co/LDTHwCBBpU

NCP has gone into administration. They’ve been running car parks since 1931, and somehow ended up £305m in debt. Surely the maintenance for a car park is simple: ticket machines, barriers, lights, and occasional cleaning. How can a business model literally based on people

£300 more on your energy bill, because of a war in the Middle East. Britain is sitting on its own oil in the North Sea, and choosing not to use it. Norway did the opposite. They went all in, built a sovereign wealth fund, and now sit on over a trillion in assets. We have the

3,000 BC: We built Stonehenge, dragging the stones 150 miles without a single environmental impact assessment. 2026: We spend a decade on reports, consultations and legal battles, and still can’t build basic infrastructure. Somewhere along the way, we lost the ability to just

Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering
The A303 Stonehenge tunnel has been scrapped after years of planning. £180 million. Gone. Not a single mile built. Not a single benefit delivered. Just taxpayer money burned. Who is actually held accountable for this?

The system isn’t just strained, it’s structurally broken. We are now spending more on people not working than we raise from those who do. That’s not sustainable. That’s not fair. And it��s not a serious economic model. Britain needs a full reset.
🚨THIS IS MENTAL THE UK WILL COLLECT £331 BILLION IN INCOME TAX THIS YEAR, AND SPEND £333 BILLION ON WELFARE IT NOW SPENDS MORE ON PEOPLE NOT WORKING THAN IT RAISES FROM THOSE WHO DO A BROKEN SYSTEM

This volcano will release vast amounts of CO₂ into the atmosphere, completely naturally. No policies. No restrictions. No human involvement. And this has been happening for millions of years, alongside oceans releasing CO₂ and forests cycling it in and out. Yet the focus is

Jess Phillips is in charge of safeguarding and violence against women and girls in Britain. This is part of the reason Britain is in such a mess, these people are laughing at us.

Elon is right. Britain is stuck because we’ve lost any sense of shared direction. We need: • Energy independence • Strong borders • A culture that rewards work • Leaders who actually deliver We move forward together or not at all.

We’ve got prisoners sitting in cells all day while places like High Beech in Epping Forest are being turned into dumping grounds. Why aren’t they out every day, away from the public, cleaning our streets, clearing fly tipping, restoring our once beautiful towns & cities. Why

We need to build 10–15 nuclear plants. Britain becomes energy independent overnight, every home powered, surplus exported globally. No reliance on foreign suppliers. No vulnerability to price shocks. Lowest long term cost per unit on earth.
