Excellent unraveling of bullshit
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Everything is the fault of foreigners, everything can be fixed by penalising foreigners. To call them Little Englanders is generous and euphemistic.
Reform’s £25bn p/a savings plan. A theme emerges:
- ending foreign aid
- increase immigration health surcharge paid by foreigners
- deport foreign criminals
- end UC payments to foreign nationals

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Why can I remember no Labour politician making this point, this well?

Everybody except the Greens seems to think the best way to fight Reform is to agree with Farage about everything.

This, right here, is brilliant. And genuinely patriotic. And so, so true.

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

I know the racism is the main story, but I feel like it might also be worth also looking at the fact that the man who for several years not so long ago was Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government now thinks that a lot of our communities and neighbourhoods are "slums",

I realise that there are lots of erudite and entirely correct reasons against leaving the ECHR, but surely the main one to be repeated ad nauseam is "from the people who told you Brexit would solve all of your problems - how did that work out for you?"

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.

Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025. (The least accurate thing ever written about Brexit.)

A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country.

He got paid for both articles.

Timely report as we’re discussing the impact of motor vehicles on children’s play.

“A child is killed every day on our roads, yet cars are being made so large that children are invisible from the driver’s seat. How is that acceptable?”

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients.

Once again for those at the back:

Lawyers are not their clients.

Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

This is so true
Wyle Cop, #Shrewsbury.
Locally known as "the Cop".
This beautiful historic street full of independent shops is the main excuse people give for not cycling anywhere in our town at all - "how are we going to cycle up the Cop?"

Explaining the benefits of low traffic neighbourhoods before they happen can be hard, as the effects are made by humans.

This is my local pub 2 mins walk from my house right now.

A model filter has become the centre of the community, with parents drinking, and kids playing.

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

Donald Trump imposed a 10% tariff on a couple of Antarctic island volcanoes with a population of zero.

But no new tariffs on Russia.

He's that good at Presidenting.
