The government said the Online Safety Act was about protecting children. We were called conspiracy theorists for saying it wasn’t! Well er … Ofcom is writing to platforms about “crisis situations”, civil unrest and enhanced moderation measures. (Blocking posts they don’t like) Children aren’t mentioned once. NOT ONCE. The problem isn’t removing genuine incitement to violence. The real problem is that unelected regulators will pressure platforms to decide what millions of ADULTS can and cannot see whenever a “crisis” is declared. many platforms will remove perfectly lawful content rather than risk the punishment of Ofcom. Read the letter for yourself. Link in the thread.

I read on here about Makerfield election and Andy Burnham leading in the polls and think, who on earth are these voters who look at the way this country is run and think, “yeah, the Labour Party, that’s the answer. That’s the way forward”. They not only live in a different area to me, but on another planet.

We're in court next Tuesday to challenge abusive police searching guidance. The law which governs police searching requires an officer of the same sex, no exceptions. But the gender ideologues have tried to find a loophole

Our judicial review against abusive police searching policies covered in @Telegraph. “Sex Matters argues that the guidance also contravenes PACE 1984, which says a strip search can only be carried out by someone of the same sex as the detained person.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

Because X is awash with CyberNat drivel and lies pushing false stuff about Scottish independence (ie separation from the rest of the UK), aided and abetted by bots from Moscow to Tehran out to destabilised the UK by promoting nonsense about separation, which SNP types lap up and further promulgate.

I've seen lots of Labour accounts make this point, but its a weak one... 👇 "Youth unemployment" (and NEETs) covers people from the ages of 16 to 24, rather than stopping at 21, so employers' NI is still a big problem.

Well #Newsnight reached an all time low tonight. No attempt at balance at all. 3 smug politicians in the studio all trotting out tropes about Trump, @Nigel_Farage and @elonmusk and of course blaming "The Far Right" for people's anger. Not the refugee from Sudan.... for whom there seemed to be some sympathy! What contempt they, and @BBCNews, have for the British people.

Vickrum Digwa’s brother, Gurpreet Digwa, 27, lied to police that Henry Nowak hadn’t been stabbed and had racially attacked his brother, perverting the course of justice. Police also recorded him conspiring with Vickrum in a police car. Six months later, he was arrested on multiple weapons charges and is currently on bail. Meanwhile, Reece Robinson, 21, threw two stones at the Southampton police protest, hitting no one, and was jailed for 2 years and 1 month within 7 days. - @Wommando

In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and took possession of 37% of the country, gradually displacing 200,000 Greek Cypriots. There has since been an influx of Turkish settlers from the mainland, with as many as 500,000 Turks displacing the natives. How many times have we heard people talking about illegal Turkish settlers/colonizers? Almost never. Most people don’t even know about it.

Senior Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue bosses have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK. Fire chiefs sent an email to staff stating that firefighters who support — or have stood as candidates for — Reform UK had been spoken to about their views. The email, sent by Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed, also appeared to encourage staff to report colleagues they believe support Reform UK. The General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, has written to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who is responsible for the governance of the region’s fire and rescue service and is widely regarded as our next Prime Minister. In his letter, Lord Young wrote: “Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.” He added: “The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer. “Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.” Read more from FSU Campaigns Officer @MaxHThompson 👇

THIS is a straightforward lie. Those who send their children to a private school pay twice, first for the private school, and then for state schools through their taxes, while making no demand on the state system.

🚨 UK Police Arrest Christian for Wearing a Sign Because It’s ‘Likely to Cause Harassment, Alarm or Distress’ Man: “Currently I’m being arrested for expressing freedom of speech.” Officer: “This gentleman has committed an offence by displaying a sign or writing that is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.” Man: “Cuffing me for what? Freedom of expression, freedom of speech, inciting nothing. I have calm, rational debates with people. I was not disrespectful. I love people. I am a Christian.” The man is then loaded into the back of a police van and taken away, all for wearing a sign that someone might find offensive.

I don’t support rioting from anyone but when BLM did it, Labour said that MPs should speak to the black community and listen to the concerns. Following the scenes in Belfast, has any Labour MP mentioned speaking to white, working class communities to listen to their concerns?

The Justice Committee has given its verdict on Labour’s plans to restrict our ancient right to a jury trial. It’s utterly damning. It says there is NO evidence for David Lammy’s claim that judge only trials will take 20% less time than jury trials. 🧵

This is nothing to do with English Law, or the traditional legal process

This is the woman David Lammy wants to choose our judges. She says merit alone should NOT determine judicial appointments. “Merit is crucial but so is a focus on diversity."
