Listening to people talking about taking women’s safety seriously whilst still ignoring Pakistani Muslim paedophile gangs and men in women’s spaces is quite mind blowing.

Does anyone know what the cost will be?
1. The cost to businesses for compliance with EU regulations?
2. The cost to universities from capped fees for EU students?
3. The cost for paying for the EU's policy work in their food and agricultural regulations?
4. The cost to electricity companies and manufacturers of paying 20% more for EU ETS allowances?
5. The cost to taxpayers of subsidising poorer EU countries.
6. The cost of paying towards the running cost of the EU's Interal Electricity Market.
7. The costs to UK youths of having to compete with unemployed EU youths for UK jobs?
Ahead of the EU/UK summit the Chancellor has warned that any deal must deliver benefits that outweigh costs.
The Chancellor has said the UK will not rejoin the EU in his lifetime.
During a cost of living criss we cannot send billions to Brussels.

THE MAKERFIELD COUP
1. He wasn't even an MP until weeks beforehand.
2. The normal sequence was extraordinarily compressed.
3. The public didn't elect him Prime Minister.
4. His immediate political mandate was peculiar.
5. He arrived with unusually little recent Westminster policy exposure.
... but the really strange part:
It's not that Britain got a PM without a general election. That's quite normal constitutionally. Major, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak all initially became PM without winning a general election as leader.
What's exceptional is the speed and route:
Mayor of Greater Manchester → parliamentary candidate → wins one by-election → Labour leader → Prime Minister, **all within a matter of weeks**.
Highly suspicious.
The sudden "getting closer to EU" is the key clue.
Who enabled his rise? Who funded the troops to get him where he is now? What does he owe these masters?

Why do windfarms still require public money? We started subsidising wind in 1990...when will they stand on their own feet and pay their own way??

Everything to do with Brexit.
Could have been so much more if it hadn't been for you.

80% of the growth is public sector and all that spending is fuelled by debt
Peoples experience in the private sector just dont match this chart. Something definitely off

Unfortunately Matthew will use 0.7% as spin without telling you the important details behind this.
Headline - it’s ugly.
Government consumption and investment was roughly 80% of the net increase:
- Government services: +£0.96bn
- Government investment: +£3.46bn
- Total GDP increase: £5.55bn
In the private sector computing grew 4.4%, but this is on the back of an AI and tech boom, in other words, it would have happened anyway.
Things that government policy directly impacts:
- Construction fell 0.7%
- Education fell 0.5%
- Food & beverage services fell 1.9%
Anyone with half a brain knows that GDP growth alone doesn’t prove higher productivity or better living standards.
We absolutely need sustained growth in the private sector and productivity.
We’re fucked if we rely on increased state spending. This is how countries destroy themselves.
But this is what socialists want, an entirely managed economy and dependent class.

Large numbers of pubs are intending to ban all 320 MPs who do not support reducing VAT on the hard-pressed hospitality sector. Pubs in 88 constituencies have signed up so far.
But why stop there? Why not ban MPs who have also voted to maintain the stealth income tax threshold freeze, to extend the death tax, to hike National Insurance and to increase the minimum wage to stupidly high levels. All these taxes also negatively affect hospitality businesses.

They were announced in January. They’re being reannounced today because Big Green (RWE) and Big Capitalism (KKR), who will benefit from the massive state subsidies already being poured into these projects, have demanded more (to cover rising costs of developing offshore wind). So Labour has obliged with another £1 billion from the so-called National Wealth [Destruction] Fund. Life is truly grand for the crony capitalists.

Bridget Phillipson is calling for restrictions on NDAs being used to silence people over misconduct allegations. Well, Bridget, put your money where your mouth is. What happened with former Labour Chief Whip Nick Brown? Why was he suspended, and why has the public never been told the nature of the complaint? Will Labour commit to transparency over its own disciplinary processes, or is this another case of one rule for the Labour Party and another for everyone else?

What a bizarre coincidence, this is from today's news.
And Burnham is out of the country and he has not taken any of the press with him, so no one will be able to ask him any questions about it.
Obviously, "today is a good day to bury any bad news" AGAIN.

BREAKING: In Poland, a video has just surfaced of the Kraków terrorist, Michal Oksinski, taking part in an antifa protest and holding pro-immigration signs with anti-Christian and threatening messages.
At this point, we can confirm that this demonic creature was a radical leftist.
Will the media keep claiming he was far-right?

This was a piss weak argument in 2016 and it's just as dumb now. A big part of the reason Britain is a squalid shit tip is the Waste Framework Directive and the EU landfill tax. A big part of the reason we struggle to build anything is the onerous EU derived planning laws and the Habitats Directive. The Working Time Directive is why the NHS is reliant on temps, and that was made even worse by the Agency Workers Directive.
The main reason we screwed up the national grid was because of the Large Combustion Plant Directive and the Renewables Directive. One of the main reason our meat industry is dying is because of the EU veterinary system. Not forgetting the EU EV mandate and emissions rules that have demolished our car industry.
I could do this all day. Everything is saddled with unsustainable bureaucracy. There are endless malign influences of EU technical policy that a know-nothing like Massie would have zero comprehension of, and I'd be here til midnight were I to detail them all.
Leaving the EU was a perquisite for making any strategically important reforms - and until it actually happens, Britain will remain a declining moribund economy.
People won't want to hear this coming from Cameron but, nevertheless, he makes a lot of sense here.
Brexit was a mistake, imho, but there is a case to be made that one of the most damaging things about it was the opportunity cost it imposed.
That is, years were spent arguing about Brexit to the exclusion of the many things that needed to be fixed before they had deteriorated to the weary, unhappy, state they are in now.

The Mayor of Britain has outsourced his 10 year plan to a profit driven US consultancy firm. 🤦🤦🤦
The man told us he was going to end outsourcing and end 40 years of neoliberalism.
Now Boston Consulting Group are in No10 writing his big plan for the country.
Government says "it's only one consultant".
We pay taxes for a government not a consultancy !
It's the same gravy train with a different tie on.
It stinks. Rudderless and inept, just .
25,000 people in Makerfield gave us this, thanks a bunch!

Ahhh, if he’d kept to that there would much less ground for complaint. The planet is warming. Global temperatures are rising and there has been ice and glacier loss. My point is not to deny that. It is the catastrophism I object to. You’ve whitewashed it out of the script. Gore specifically claimed:
Kilimanjaro: "within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro." Wrong.
An ice-free Arctic: the film suggested Arctic summers could be ice-free within years; in 2009 Gore talked of a 75% chance within five to seven years. Wrong
A 20-foot sea-level rise: Gore presented this as what would happen if Greenland or West Antarctica melted. He implied it was close at hand. In fact sea level has risen about 4 inches since 2006.
Hurricanes: after Katrina, he implied more frequent and stronger storms. There's no clear trend in the number of hurricanes or their total energy.
You also mention coral. Again the picture is mixed. I refer you to the Great Barrier Reef.
As for polar bears — more now than when Gore made his film.
It is for all these reasons and more that in 2007 the High Court (in Dimmock v Secretary of State) ruled the film could be shown in schools only with guidance notes. The judge found it broadly accurate on the main science but identified nine errors or exaggerations, including Kilimanjaro, the timing of the sea-level rise, Katrina and polar bears drowning.

So how did a property adviser end up posting about Andy Burnham and Abu Dhabi?
All we wanted was a planning permission.
It took Manchester City Council over nine years to give us one. In that time Renaker put up about a dozen towers, seven of them around our site.
My client has owned a site on Great Jackson Street in Manchester for 40 years. In October 2017 we started work on planning for 1,037 flats there. We are Manchester born and bred. Friends in London warned us that development in Manchester was "the Wild West". We didn't know how right they were.
We were told we had to provide £28.8m of affordable housing. So we asked what Renaker's Deansgate Square next door had paid. The answer:- Nothing. Zero. Nada. Zip. 1,508 flats and no section 106 agreement at all. Nobody at Manchester City Council could explain why. On four Renaker schemes MCC has "lost" the viability files.
We were told we had to pay just over £1m as an upfront payment. Exactly £1,000 per flat. Across 20 Renaker towers and 8,543 homes, Manchester City Council took just £487,000. That is £57 a home.
So we kept looking. We found £598m of public loans from Andy Burnham's GMCA to Renaker. Add in the other public sources and it is £868m, to companies controlled by one man. None of these loans were ever publicised and the loan terms remain almost entirely hidden.
It took nearly four years just to get to the planning committee. Over nine years on, nothing is built.
We then asked MCC for permission to knock down our own empty warehouses. It refused, giving ten flimsy reasons. So off to court we went. In January 2026 a High Court judge rejected all ten and held that MCC had "acted unreasonably". That case cost MCC over £200,000 of public money. And for what?
My client also owns the main Royal Mail depot on Oldham Road. MCC has since told us that land sits inside its joint venture with Far East Consortium. It has kept over a third of that agreement hidden, including the plan, and won't show it to us. Why?
So we carried on asking questions.
Then they blocked my emails.
We never set out to investigate anyone. We asked one question, got no answer, and kept digging.
We still are.

This is government gaslighting to a high degree.
1. It’s not a new announcement. The Norfolk East and West offshore wind projects were announced earlier this year as part of the AR7 round of contracts.
2. No way does it bring down prices. Those behind it, energy giant RWE + global investors KKR, were guaranteed an above-market strike price of £91.20/MWh based on 2024 prices — indexed linked for 20 years. That guarantee is already worth £97/MWh in 2026. This is v expensive energy.
3. What is new is that the costs of developing offshore wind have soared. So the government has now had to chip in £1 billion of the £12 billion investment needed from the National Wealth [Destruction] Fund. So more state subsidy on top of the massive subsidies for two foreign companies implicit in the price guarantees embedded in AR7.
4. Far from cheaper electricity this embeds high-cost electricity in the system for 20 years.
5. So much for the Chancellor’s Budget pledge to ‘only build new projects when they lower prices’. This does the opposite — and at enormous expense to the taxpayer and electricity user.
Gaslighting indeed.
