'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't.

'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't.

'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

This budget is a choice - will the Government side with the people or with the ultra-rich?

Last week, 3,865 supporters wrote to the Chancellor asking her to make the richest in society pay their fair share. Rachel Reeves, are you listening?

You would think that with all the flags on streets, roundabouts painted and the wearing for national football shirts in public - a sign of patriotism that recruitment for the armed forces would go up. It appears it’s stagnant at best! So where are the patriot? Certainly not in recruit training!

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

It seems all the UK politicians are harking on about immigration. Why are they not discussing economics & how they are going to help us either become better off - even if it’s just a few quid or how to get out of poverty. Being punchy about people coming to the UK is easy. Let’s do the hard stuff!

How to identify agents of influence? The "4W" guidance model developed by INVED-Editor @dietmarpichler.bsky.social might be of help:

-What do they say?

-Where do they appear?

-Who amplifies them?

And last but not least:
