This graph should hang from the wall of every newsroom in the UK, to remind journalists of how they have wilfully ignored the correlation between immigration and the cost of homes.
Surging net migration to Britain correlates with rising private rents just 12 months later. High housing costs are immensely damaging to our economy. Young people are forced to pay high rents for substandard homes, crushing savings and fertility.

So the ex-Labour councillor and Hope Not Hate worker who helped design the Online Safety Act has been found guilty of…online child sex offences? Well I never…

It's completeley unsustainable and a huge magnet for attracting thousands more shirkers to the country. Stop this madness @ShabanaMahmood @Keir_Starmer
How much longer can we afford to permit 78% of Muslim women and 63% of Muslim men to shun work to reply on taxpayer funded benefits, particularly when you consider the size of the families they each produce?

Whose estimate is this and how can they possibly say what would've happened had we not left the EU? When Italy, Germany & France have all struggled by remaining *in* the EU, it's hardly a good base case for estimating what UK's GDP would've been. Rubbish.
Farage got it wrong. We don’t trade more outside the EU, we trade less. Farmers are not better off (exports down 40%) fishermen are not better off - our whole country is not better off. We took back control of trade and traded less, we took back control of immigration and it

Thank you for making this film Colin, if only mad Ed Miliband had a fraction of your clarity and challenge on the issue rather than pursuing his ideological suicide path.
The brilliant @OutpostStudios persuaded me to hang-up my wellies for a while and do a film or two on behalf of @NetZeroWatch When it comes to energy, Britain needs a major rethink. If we are to re-shore jobs, rebuild manufacturing & capitalise on AI, we need to ditch net-zero.

By the same simplistic logic, why aren't the young 'crushing' the old by voting for Leftist / Commie parties if they get into power?

And it also "allows you ever having to interact" with many colleagues from whom you may learn and understand things, informally outside the formal training environment, that you'll never pick up over email.
Working from home gives people an extra 1-2 hours of sleep in the morning and an extra 1-2 hours to spend with their families in the evening. It also allows you to avoid ever having to interact with HR cat ladies, diversity hires, or other such cretins. This is a good thing. But

KALERGI PLAN innit?
Despite all of the evidence about how bad 3rd world immigration has been for Germany, France, Spain, Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia ... all of their leaders seem to be doubling down and opening the doors even wider to make it happen faster. Why?

A gentle reminder Luke that you have to govern for EVERYONE. That includes: - landlords struggling to provide affordable housing - businesses struggling to retain staff despite NI and minimum wage increases - taxpayers struggling to pay energy bills & for breakfast club handouts.
Labour is delivering for this country. 🌹 Make no mistake. Today, we move forward. 2026 will be the year Britain gets its mojo back. ✅

Remember all the times that Brexiteers were told that the EU Single Market represented frictionless trade? Ursula Von Der Leyen, along with the IMF, disagree. "Internal barriers within the Single Market are equivalent to a 45% tariff on goods and a 110% tariff on services"

The Japanese prime minister is becoming crazy popular! Japan's new PM is going full beast mode - Islamist migrants take over a kids' playground for mass prayer and Sharia demands. Her response? Mass deportations for anyone who won't assimilate. No mercy, no apologies! This is

Industrial agriculture loses 30 billion tons of topsoil annually. At current rates, we have about 60 years of topsoil left globally. Regenerative cattle grazing builds topsoil at rates of 1-2 inches per decade. How? Cattle graze grass, trampling some of it into the ground.

"Livestock is inefficient use of land" is the most successful propaganda of the 21st century. Here's what they're not telling you: 70% of global agricultural land is unsuitable for crop production. Too steep, too rocky, too dry, too cold, wrong soil composition. You cannot grow

Waiting Lists are falling because you're paying to take the deceased off the lists! Wages are rising only because you're increased the minimum wage that small businesses cannot afford! The number of people employed is down Inflation is up. 66000 illegal migrants have arrived 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Keir led our party to victory and won a mandate for change. Waiting lists are falling, wages are rising, new rights for renters and leaseholders. We need to stay the course and deliver the change this country voted for.

Labour's "massive mandate" was in its Manifesto, NOT to go 'off piste' with other policies that no one had seen before the election and no one wants. You're hurting farmers, pensioners, small businesses, veterans, and workers having to pay ridiculous energy prices and higher tax.
Keir Starmer won a massive mandate 18 months ago, for five years to deliver on Labour’s manifesto that we all stood on. We should let nothing distract us from our mission to change Britain and we support the Prime Minister in doing that.

Replace "educated" with "indoctrinated over many years". I suspect most @reformparty_uk supporters challenge political narratives, do their own homework on a subject, and learn from the University of Life as < 5% went to University pre-Blair.

TOTAL OPPOSITE of what @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan tells us.
Immigration ideologues will tell you that Britain needs migration to pay for pensions. Actually, the OBR estimates a typical low wage migrant will cost the taxpayer ~£600,000 if they reach the UK average life expectancy of 82. The migration Ponzi scheme is bankrupting Britain.

They don’t teach you about Frank Whittle in school 🇬🇧 A working-class boy from Coventry. Too short for the RAF. Applied under a false name and got in. Invented the jet engine at 21. Britain ignored him. His patent lapsed because he couldn’t afford £5. Germany picked it up and
