Enough is enough. I'm calling for the use of GPS tagging to stop persistent shoplifters. This proven technology would create exclusion zones, cut reoffending, and help protect Croydon’s high streets. #ZeroTolerance #RestoringPride

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; when the inevitable tragedy strikes the Commons, it’ll make Notre Dame look like a children’s campfire

In Labour’s Britain, chefs have to fillet fish and debone chicken thighs using these bad boys.

Beyond parody. YOU 🫵🏻 will be forced to use toddler knives because THEY can’t keep people like the Huntington Stabber off the street. It won’t stop crime, the Government won’t care because they only eat microwave slop; it’s just another way to suck joy from your life.

Really proud of how Croydon marked Remembrance & Armistice Days this year - great to see so many residents of all ages attend the ceremonies. “O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be Thou our guard while troubles last and our eternal home.”

Thank you to everybody who attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph in Croydon yesterday. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 🌺

They’re taxing your job, your car, your savings and your holidays to pay for this.
BREAKING - 1,500 Channel migrants have crossed illegally from France since Thursday. For the third straight day, hundreds more are crossing into UK waters. The total for the year is now over 38,500 - That figure is well ahead of the 36,816 who arrived during the whole of 2024

A £2k salary sacrifice limit will discourage people from making necessary provisions for their pension. But pension funds don’t sit idle; they’re invested to create jobs and growth. Less money in pensions = less investment and less growth. The gov. is economically illiterate.

Rachel Reeves wants to tax my pension to fund tax cuts for Mauritians.
You will get hit by new taxes as you try to save for your old age, in order to let the Chancellor continue her out-of-control spending. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister’s pension is protected by a specific, named piece of legislation. Are these people for real?

His name was Wayne Broadhurst, and he was stabbed to death by Safi Dawood whilst walking his dog. We don’t have to live - or die - like this.
Rhiannon Skye White. Wayne Broadhurst. Gurvinder Johal. The victims of terrible evil. But do you know their names? Do your friends? We mustn’t become desensitised. We must fight to keep society civilised.

Genius HMT comms plan is to brief out 17 different infuriating tax hike ideas and then deliver "a rabbit out of the hat" on Budget day when they only have to implement 15 of them
🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves will use the Budget to impose a £2k-a-year limit on how much salary can go into a pension before paying National Insurance The move will raise £2bn and hit salary sacrifice schemes [@thetimes]

It cuts the after tax reward to disciplined saving and shrinks employer pass through top ups, so both take home pay and future pension pots deteriorate. It weakens pension adequacy because small annual cuts compound into meaningfully smaller retirement wealth. You’re getting

He realised that whilst a prison cell means he can’t get out, at least Rachel Reeves can’t get in.

"I have nothing to contribute to your nation. Let me stay and claim a state pension and free healthcare" "Of course. To do otherwise would be a breach of your human right to have British people fund you."

The Grooming Gangs Scandal wasn’t down to “human error” – it was self-interest, corruption and racism.
