This is it exactly ⬇️
The Government will try to entice us into Digital ID.
Then they will try to threaten us.
Do NOT be coerced into Digital ID no matter what they say they’ll take away if you don’t. Stand firm.
Remember the Poll Tax.
If enough people say no they can’t take action against those who say no.
The fight to remain free is on.

Imagine being in your first week of social work training and being told that some of your fellow students might be there to gain access to vulnerable children.
Shocking, right? But this social worker’s point applies anywhere adults work with children. Some people will seek out those roles for the wrong reasons. And the person whose behaviour you need to question might be the nicest person you know.
She also makes an important point about why safeguarding starts with having a clear sense of what’s normal and what isn’t. Once that boundary starts to blur, it’s easier for someone to cross it without being challenged.
I wish I’d seen this video years ago. I can think of times when something felt off and I kept quiet because I worried I might be wrong or cause offence.
Thanks @JournalistJill for highlighting it.

M&S have wiped the floor with John Lewis in the Christmas advert wars this year.
John Lewis might as well take the decorations down and go home.
This isn’t just a Christmas advert. This is an M&S Christmas advert. 🎄
And THIS is why I’ll always vote @RestoreBritain
⬇️ and why I’m 100% backing @RupertLowe10 to be our next Prime Minister
I want to address an allegation directly, because Reform politicians seem determined to spread the idea that I am somehow working in coordination with the Conservative Party and Kemi Badenoch.
Yes, I was a member of the Conservative Party. In 1993. My children have since been born and grown up. It was more than thirty years ago. Literally, a lifetime ago. Many of the Reform leadership certainly can’t say the same.
Yes, I've met Kemi Badenoch. I speak to her occasionally. I like her personally. We have worked together in Parliament. She spoke positively about our rape gang inquiry, and I thanked her for it.
Numerous Conservative MPs have supported my parliamentary work, including our inquiry.
Esther McVey. Nick Timothy. Jack Rankin. Peter Bedford. I could go on.
I am not going to apologise for that.
I will work with anyone in Parliament who is prepared to help deliver meaningful change. We have achieved results by doing precisely that.
Does that mean I forgive the Conservatives for what they did to Britain between 2010 and 2024?
Absolutely not. It was a betrayal.
I have literally established a national political party to fight them at the ballot box. I am delighted when we beat them, which is a growing amount. All that should be a fairly substantial clue…
But opposing a political party does not require you to behave like a petulant child towards every single person associated with it.
Conservative MPs believed I would do a good job on the Public Accounts Committee. I accepted the opportunity to scrutinise government spending and fight for British taxpayers.
Again, absolutely no apologies. I think we have delivered results.
Now let's compare that with Reform.
Reform tried to have me imprisoned over false allegations. I would be in prison today if they had their way.
Despite everything, I have repeatedly attempted to work with Reform MPs in Parliament. I have invited them to support initiatives, collaborate on important issues and help deliver results.
Time and again, those invitations have been ignored. My emails don’t even get a reply. I happily sign their motions and support their efforts, I did earlier this week. The feeling is not mutual.
They complain. They moan. They attack. They endlessly manufacture personal grievances.
But ask them to put their animosities aside and actually achieve something together?
Suddenly, it's total silence.
I've received more constructive support in Parliament from Labour MPs than from Reform.
Think about that.
It is grievance politics at its most pathetic. Negative, unproductive and deeply unprofessional.
My position is incredibly straightforward.
At elections, we are opponents. In Parliament, we have a responsibility to get things done. I believe that is what our constituents want us to do. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think not.
Reform claim we stand in more local council Reform seats than anyone else. Yes, because so many more Reform councillors resign in disgrace than any other party. We are moving towards standing in 100% of local council by-elections. We’ve stood in Reform seats, Labour seats, Tory seats.
Everywhere and anywhere.
I intend to fight both Reform and the Conservatives for every vote. I want Restore Britain to win over millions of people who previously voted for those parties.
But that does not mean I have to insult everyone I disagree with, refuse to speak to political opponents or sabotage decent initiatives because somebody else might receive a little credit.
I was elected to represent my constituents, not to participate in an endless Westminster playground feud.
Do I like Kemi Badenoch and some other Conservative MPs personally? Yes.
Will I work with them when it benefits the British people? Yes.
Do I fundamentally oppose the Conservative Party's record and want Restore Britain to defeat them electorally? Yes. Their 14 years of power was an utter betrayal, and is largely responsible for the social, economic and demographic vandalism we have endured.
All three things can be true. Any serious adult should be capable of understanding that. It is not difficult to comprehend.
I will work with Conservatives. I will work with Labour. I will work with Reform, if they ever decide to behave constructively.
Reform's increasingly nasty, brash and personally unpleasant approach to politics says far more about them than it does about me. It’s just downright rude.
They seem to believe that refusing to work with anyone is a demonstration of strength. In my view, it’s a weakness that erodes our politics and fails our constituents.
I have said it again and again.
I will work with anyone in parliament to deliver for the British people.
And I make no apologies for doing so.

A 77-year-old King, still in cancer treatment, flew nine days through a region that has spent the year telling him it wants to leave. He stood in a tropical downpour without an umbrella. He went to the one republic whose president had publicly told him to apologise. And he came home with 56 countries agreeing to double their trade with each other by 2030. That is soft power. Nobody else alive can do it.
The Bahamas first. He hadn’t been back in 53 years, not since he stood in for his mother at independence in 1973. He got off the plane and said “I’ve arrived, thank God!” in Bahamian dialect, and that was the tour decided. Danced at Junkanoo. Sat with a youth rally at Clifford Park. Waded about in the mangroves at Bonefish Pond talking coastal resilience with people whose homes depend on it.
Then Guyana. A republic since 1970. President Ali had said out loud that the King should apologise, and the King went anyway. Met him at State House, laid a wreath, sat with the Toshaos, the elected leaders of the Indigenous villages, 26 years after he first walked into the Iwokrama rainforest and became its patron. His Foundation is now drawing up Georgetown’s urban plan with the government. You don’t get asked to do that by a country that resents you.
Then Antigua and Barbuda. The first Head of the Commonwealth ever to set foot there. At the Independence parade the sky opened, Camilla made off under the only umbrella in the stadium and the King stood in the rain miming one until somebody found him his own, laughing. The clip went round the world and did more for the monarchy than a thousand press releases.
Then he gave the speech people said he’d dodge. He didn’t. The slave trade “still casts a shadow” over these islands, he said, and the history fills him with horror and profound personal sorrow. He said the Commonwealth is “a response to the world of today.” Then he got out of the way and let the leaders work.
And they worked. Smallest host nation in Commonwealth history. 3,000 delegates in a country of 100,000 people. $52 billion of bankable projects on the table across 28 countries. Half a billion dollars of new money. A $300 million fund to put skills into 10 million young people. A trade portal, a trade target, a debt agenda the UK will carry into its G20 presidency. And on reparations, the thing everyone said would blow it up, Britain agreed to a structured, time-bound dialogue and Gaston Browne said it would not divide the Commonwealth. It didn’t.
No treaty makes any of these countries turn up. They turn up. 56 nations, 2.7 billion people, a third of humanity, and the one thing they have in common is a man who flies in, listens, gets rained on, and asks for nothing.
A word for Shirley Botchwey too. Her first CHOGM as Secretary-General. First African woman to run the Secretariat, second African after Nigeria’s own Chief Emeka Anyaoku. She promised a summit of ambition and action and then did something nobody had done in 28 of these meetings: she put investors in the room with the heads of government. Ghana should be proud of her. Africa is.
People keep asking what a monarchy is for in 2026. This week was the answer. Not power. Presence.
Well done, Antigua. God Save The King.

First ever election in Scotland for Restore Britain yesterday, and the team did not let us down. Straight in at 7%, only 1.5% off beating Reform.
A remarkable result.
Three other results across England - beat the Tories in two, beat the Greens in two. Superb work.
A huge thanks to George, Ash, Tristian and Anne - along with everyone who volunteered on the ground.
Strong progress across England, but I'm particularly encouraged by the Scots.
To turn up in a unfavourable seat for us and hit 7% straight off the bat, only a couple of dozen votes short of Reform? Incredible.
All important preparation for next May's elections - there will be more news from Restore Britain on this very soon...
And most importantly - a massive thank you to everyone who voted for us yesterday. You will get patronised and insulted today, but your support is sincerely appreciated.
It matters, it helps and we won't let you down.

Watch how quickly the benches empty.
These are the same MPs who lecture the country about how seriously they supposedly take the safety of women and girls...
Yet when a debate comes along that directly affects it, and they have the chance to listen to what their own plans are actually doing to communities like Piddington, they're gone.
If this is what serious looks like, women have every reason to worry.
We are the ones that have to live with the consequences of their decisions every single day. We can't just get up and leave when it gets uncomfortable.
Labour are the ones running the country right now (debatable), and if they can't or won't stay in the room for women, women will remember that at the ballot box…
We deserve better.
OK fellow Restorers it’s happening again! Got to 2,001 followers now back down to 1,997 and dropping. X really doesn’t want me past 2k!

A huge MRP poll just out - Restore Britain on a record 8%. 10%+ in 180 seats. Absolutely astonishing.
We are now reaching serious levels of support, and it is going to keep growing and growing.
We are going to take our country back.

Catherine put out a video from Cornwall today and it's worth a minute of your time, because it's the most Catherine thing she's done.
No announcement about herself. No drama. She's asked her Centre for Early Childhood, the thing she set up in 2021 when nobody was paying attention, to go and find out properly whether growing up around trees and mud and sky changes how babies and toddlers develop. Not whether it feels nice. Whether it works. Social skills, emotional skills, the stuff that decides what kind of adult you become before you can read.
The Duchy of Cornwall is paying for it. That's William's estate. Husband's land, wife's research, kids' futures. Quietly done, in Cornwall, on a Thursday.
Here's why it matters coming from her. Two years ago she sat on a bench in a garden and told the country she had cancer. She has said since that nature was the thing that got her through it. The woods, the walks, the sea. Most people who go through that come out with a story. She came out with a research programme, aimed at two year olds, so that the thing that healed her might be built into how we raise children who haven't been born yet.
She's been on this since 2021. Five Big Questions. Shaping Us. The baby cue research with health visitors. The animated films for nursery staff. None of it trends. All of it compounds. In twenty years there'll be a generation of kids raised differently because a princess kept turning up to a subject everyone else found boring.
Same week as all the noise, this is the signal. Get your kids outside. She's about to prove why.
I think MI5 have completely lost the plot ….
We’re all DOOMED
Rightwing extremists increasingly likely to consider terrorist attacks, MI5 chief says”
Yeah cos hitting a 78 year old woman over a head with a hammer 21 times
Stabbing helpers with screwdriver in the head
Hacking to death our soldiers & citizens
Blowing things and people up on our transport system in rush hour
I mean cos yeah the big issue now is ‘the Far Right’ “potential” for terrorism
Stop this utter dangerous nonsense
Thank you to all my new followers! I am following all back but thanks to X’s limitations of 15 every half hour it might take me a while to follow you all back so please be patient!
I’m nearing the 2K mark now … so let’s see what happens!!

🚨 BREAKING: Good Law Project is paying for Instagram adverts targeting JK Rowling - over this year's Harry Potter Christmas lights on Oxford Street.
The adverts claim Rowling has promised to use future Harry Potter earnings to fund an “anti-trans rights movement”.
The adverts ask Instagram users to share their email address and postcode so a letter can be sent to Sadiq Khan on their behalf, demanding that the Harry Potter Christmas lights don't go ahead.
More than 5,000 emails have already been sent - and the adverts have been running for less than 24 hours.
Just one snag: Khan isn't in charge of the Oxford Street lights 🫣🎄

Every single one of our 692 Restore Britain votes yesterday meant it. We don’t have the Muslim vote to fall back on, or decades of voting habit. They went out and cast their vote knowing we could never win that seat, we said so from the start. They backed us because they believe in what we’re trying to achieve.
One of the most left wing seats in the country, 692 votes. 3%. For a months-old party promising to deport millions, reverse the islamification of Britain, openly and honestly labelling London a third world dump?
We will take that.
Tories on 7%, Reform on 6%. The establishment may detest it, but Restore Britain is now an established national political party.
When you see national polls, failing to even prompt Restore Britain, giving us 3%?
Total bullshit. We got 3% in a central London seat, packed with Muslims, foreign nationals, and Camden liberals. We are FAR higher than that elsewhere.
I see now we’re even being accused of ‘splitting’ the vote and ‘costing’ Reform third place?
Honestly, it’s so pathetic. Those 692 votes do not belong to us, and they certainly do not belong to Reform. We made our argument, and they chose to support us. If Reform want to appeal to those voters?
They are more than welcome to do so - insulting our intelligence likely won't succeed.
Our candidate, Tyler Johnson, and the campaign team, did Restore Britain proud.
They were hounded, abused, violently attacked.
They kept going.
They gave those 692 patriots a voice.
That was our objective, and it’s a job well done.

Restore Britain is already beating Reform UK’s first year numbers and we started with nothing.
Reform UK spent 2021 as a rebrand of the Brexit Party. They had the name recognition, the membership lists, and the organisational base.
Their parliamentary by election results that year:
• Hartlepool: 1.2%
• Airdrie and Shotts: 0.2%
• Chesham and Amersham: 1.1%
• Old Bexley and Sidcup: 6.6%
• North Shropshire: 3.8%
Low single digits for most of them. One deposit saved.
Restore Britain is a new party.
Registered in March 2026. No inherited machine. No established brand. In our first seven months:
• Makerfield: 6.8% (third, deposit saved)
• Holborn and St Pancras: 2.5%
• Council by elections regularly landing 5–11% (10.3% in Hirst, 7.2% in Claremont)
• Great Yarmouth First swept every single seat it contested in May…often doubling or more Reform’s vote in the same areas.
They had a head start. We didn’t. The numbers still favour us.
A brand new party is already matching or exceeding what a rebranded one managed in year one. That’s the reality.
That’s why they’re worried and on the offensive.

🚨 THE STAGGERING DAMAGE LABOUR INFLICTED ON GREAT BRITAIN IN JUST SEVEN DAYS!
I need every taxpayer to look at the absolute trail of destruction Burnham and his cabinet left behind over the past week alone.
While working families struggle to pay their bills, the Westminster establishment has been busy dismantling our country piece by piece:
*The Ministry of Justice paused tougher life sentences for child rapists just to save 350 prison beds, right after releasing hundreds of convicted criminals onto our streets.
*Burnham openly floated a second Brexit referendum on television and confirmed that dragging Great Britain back into the European Union is firmly on the table.
*Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy backed a disgraceful plan to force every household to pay a mandatory BBC tax on their broadband bills even if they do not own a television.
*Nature Minister Jenny Riddell Carpenter publicly smeared traditional British country pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors as a dangerous far right fantasy.
*Shabana Mahmood approved blowing 250 million pounds to dump a massive migrant compound into the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington while British veterans sleep rough.
*Justice Minister Jake Richards went on BBC Question Time and deliberately refused to commit to stopping the small boats until the studio audience groaned in absolute disgust.
These out of touch socialists are treating our nation like a radical ideological playground and bleeding the domestic working class dry to pay for it!
I am sick to death of watching arrogant politicians destroy the country my grandparents built!!
Retweet this immediately to expose the disastrous reality of this government to every single voter before they do any more damage. 🇬🇧🔥
