We need to debate how we are governed, imo.
‘Guided governance’ is my starter. In short: -
1. Add a ‘agree/disagree’ option to the government petition system, and guarantee parliamentary debate over a threshold.
2. Amend the MP Recall Act to allow constituency led recalls.

Study a bit of history and you'll quickly discover that socialists have a long and dishonourable tradition of murdering fellow socialists. See Pol Pot* and Mao for real-death examples.
*A psychopathic, mass-murdering socialist; not a brand of fast-food instant noodles.

Mahmood said she made the changes after her ‘public consultation’.
Today we learnt that just 1 in 5 people who responded to her ‘consultation’ were British citizens!
They asked foreign nationals if foreign nationals should get faster settlement in our country.
The Tories and Labour have perpetrated a huge SCAM on the British people.
Reform will reverse this madness.

Britain is dangerously exposed to AI-powered cyberattacks, and I genuinely worry that the people running this country have absolutely no idea what is coming. Head in sand doesn't come close...
Artificial intelligence is making cyberattacks faster, cheaper and FAR more sophisticated.
Our hospitals. Our electricity grid. Our water supplies. Our banks. Our transport networks. Our food.
Everything.
Imagine the chaos if even one of these systems were brought down for days, even a few hours.
Do you trust the British state to effectively fight back?
To reduce the fallout? To recover?
I do not.
The threat is real. Dangerously real.
Yet Westminster seems permanently obsessed with yesterday's arguments.
Britain needs serious investment in cyber defence. Proper protection for critical infrastructure. Far tougher security standards for our systems. The ability to identify, disrupt and respond to hostile cyber operations.
Sovereign AI capabilities to withstand the onslaught that will come. It already is.
We should be developing British expertise, recruiting the very best technical minds and treating cyber defence as a fundamental matter of national security.

"I don't think employers are working people, they are companies."
That's the Treasury's Chief Secretary, Emma Reynolds.
Meanwhile, HMRC's move to monthly self-assessment payments will take an extra £17bn from the self-employed in a single year.
Up to 3.6 million people.
Paying two years' tax bills at once.
Same income.
So who exactly are the "working people" being protected?
Not the sole trader.
Not the freelancer.
Not the founder paying 20 staff.
Where's their breathing space?
According to Labour, if you take the risk, sign the payslips and pay the tax, you're not a working person.
You're just a cashpoint.

You really are juvenile and moronic.
Vladivostok needs spelling correctly and starting with a capital letter.
Then you really need to grow up or quit social media.

Shabana Mahmood KNOWS the Indefinite Leave to Remain U-turn will deeply harm British people.
She is doing it anyway.
In March she called it a “scandal”.
She admitted that “fraud was rife”, with “phoney” care providers being set up to sponsor visas.
She admitted that it would put huge strain on welfare, healthcare, and social housing.
She admitted that the cost would fall on the British people, an “affront to the idea of fairness”.
And now she’s imposing that cost herself, as Burnham betrays the country already.

The incoming damage from mass Boriswave naturalisations cannot be understated.
It must be reversed.

Reform have been the only party sounding the alarm on the Boriswave.
It must be stopped and reversed.

This is literally unbelievable…
An 80-year-old with severe Alzheimer’s just REGAINED her memory, emotions, ability to speak, ability to walk, AND bladder control after ONE psilocybin dose.
No Alzheimer’s drug has EVER done anything remotely close to this.

It is interesting to see some of the Polish media putting together some of the threads assembled in this post, and coming to the same conclusion - that the takeover of the Constitutional court was indeed a coup, planned at the highest political and operational levels, with the knowledge and agreement of Tusk.
Whatever the fine legal niceties, the very fact that prime minister Tusk had to resort to stealth and subterfuge is proof positive that he himself did not believe he had a solid case for the takeover. And, as the crisis develops, I get the feeling that this does not end well.

Rock has this right, and the numbers make it even better.
Vanderbilt broke the steamboat monopolies by cutting the New York to Albany fare from $3 to 10 cents, then to free, and still profited on food sales. His Nicaragua route drove the New York to California fare from $600 to as low as $150.
Rockefeller: kerosene cost 26 cents a gallon in 1870. By 1885 it was 8 cents. Light after dark stopped being a luxury for working families.
Carnegie: steel rails ran about $160 a ton in the mid 1870s. By the late 1890s they were $17.
Ford: a Model T cost $825 in 1908. By 1925 it was $260, and he doubled his workers' wages along the way.
The pattern continues today. Jobs put computing power that once cost millions and filled a room into your pocket for a few hundred dollars. Gates put a computer on every desk and drove the price of software toward zero, and he did it decades before he took up preaching the morality of giving wealth away instead of the morality of creating it. Bezos cut the price of nearly everything you buy and delivers it to your door in a day. Musk cut the cost of reaching orbit by roughly 90 percent and forced the entire auto industry to build electric cars people want.
Every man on this list got rich by making life cheaper for millions of people he never met. These fortunes were earned by lowering bills on a scale no government program would even claim to be able to match. And the fact is that such government programs ultimately have the complete opposite effect.
Name one? How about a few?
Rockefeller lowered the cost of kerosene through efficient refining and distribution.
Ford made automobiles affordable through mass production.
Carnegie reduced steel production costs through industrial innovation.
Walton lowered retail prices through bulk purchasing and efficient logistics.
Dell made computers cheaper by eliminating retail intermediaries.
Kamprad made furniture affordable through flat-pack manufacturing and distribution.
Bezos intensified retail competition through Amazon.
Koum made international messaging practically free through WhatsApp.
Page and Brin made search, navigation, email, and translation available without direct charges.
And that's barely scratching the surface.
In fact, it would be considerably more challenging to find a billionaire who earned their fortune through voluntary trade without lowering costs, improving quality, increasing productivity, or making something more accessible.
That's how fortunes are generally made in competitive markets. You create value for others, and the more people you serve, the greater your potential reward.
You don't even have to buy from these businesses to benefit. Their competitors must improve their offerings or risk losing customers.
These clout chasers destroy their credibility daily without so much as flinching.
They enjoy the accumulated benefits of capitalist innovation while confidently demanding evidence that any of it ever happened.
The economic illiteracy would be impressive if it weren't so commonplace.

Unelected officials are rubbish at reading the room. Cocooned in their ivory towers, they've never had to stand for election and they're completely unaccountable to electorates.
The EU got it completely wrong when they decided to make a monkey out of David Cameron and it resulted in a referendum, the outcome of which the out of touch failed to predict.
The Polish response to the attempted coup looks to be a similarly misjudged own goal by EU zealots.
Rather than shaping policy to reflect current political realities, the EU tries to double down on its doctrines. It's always a decade behind the times; slow, cumbersome, unable to be dynamic and in touch. It is the torpid author of its own demise.
It's crucified industry across Europe with its suicidal green agendas. It's destroyed businesses with excessive regulation, whilst simultaneously allowing sub standard imports from the Far East to flood the market.
Less than 2 decades ago Europe's economy was on par with the US, yet now it trails pathetically behind, unable to unleash itself from dogmatic, unyielding policy.
It finds itself swamped with illegal immigration; the very existence of Europe's cultural and historic identity is being extinguished before our eyes, but Shengen must be preserved at all costs and what a dear price we're all paying.

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński is explaining what is happening right now at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal, calling it nothing less than a COUP D’ÉTAT!
“In Poland, we have a liberal-left government led by Donald Tusk, who is the Prime Minister. What is happening right now with the Constitutional Tribunal is that they want to take it over and fill it with their own people.
Why? Because they want to get rid of the Polish currency, bring us into the eurozone, and eliminate our secure borders. They are being pushed by the Germans, who want to spread the burden of illegal migration and send migrants to Poland.
First of all, the Polish złoty is our constitutionally protected currency. They have to change the Constitution to replace it, and without the Constitutional Tribunal, they cannot do that.
So, number one, they want to get rid of our currency and force us to adopt the euro and join the eurozone. Then they want to take our gold reserves, the largest in the European Union, to Frankfurt, to the European Central Bank, which is a German-based institution.
They also want to open our borders. And they want to make sure that when they lose the next elections, which are coming next year, the Constitutional Tribunal will be unable to do anything to stop their actions or reverse what they have done.
There are many more reasons, but I want you to understand one thing: they are under German influence. They are globalists, and we are fighting not just for Poland, but for Europe.
Be like Poland. Be strong. Our nation is strong, and we are going to win this fight!”

The Telegraph commits hara-kiri. 🗡️

Der Ablauf des PUTSCHVERSUCHS von Donald Tusk, unterstützt von der EU‼️
1. Der linke Ministerpräsident Donald Tusk versuchte, acht Richter des Verfassungsgerichts zu ernennen, obwohl er nur drei ernennen durfte.
2. Der rechtskonservative Präsident Karol Nawrocki nahm nur drei Richtern den Amtseid ab, wie es das Gesetz vorschreibt.
3. Tusk organisierte eine parallele Vereidigung für die anderen fünf, indem er ihnen selbst den Eid abnahm, obwohl die Verfassung festlegt, dass nur der Präsident dies tun darf.
4. Nawrocki verließ das Land für eine geplante Reise nach Senegal.
5. Einer der von Tusk illegal vereidigten Richter ordnete die Absetzung des Präsidenten des Gerichts an, des Rechtskonservativen Bogdan Święczkowski.
6. Tusk befahl der Polizei, den Zugang zum Gericht zu blockieren und so dem Präsidenten des Obersten Gerichts den Eintritt zu verwehren.
7. Nawrocki unterbrach seine Reise und kehrte eilig nach Polen zurück.
8. In der Nacht zum Freitag stellte er sich persönlich vor das Gerichtsgebäude und rang mit den Polizisten, um den Zugang freizubekommen.
9. Sobald er im Gerichtsgebäude war, entfernte er die fünf von Tusk illegal vereidigten Richter und gewährte dem Präsidenten des Obersten Gerichts Zugang zu seinem Büro.
