Labour deliberately authors a scheme for Indians to undercut the British workers. Utterly shameful and I ask myself - how can this be the same party that Clement Attlee and Ernie Bevin were once part of? Disgusting. It’s gone.

A sense of proportion from Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧 on pay and pensions 👏

SDP policy is to train all of our own nurses and doctors. The practice of importing them from overseas involves looting foreign healthcare systems, and is wide open to abuse by the unqualified, putting our patients’ lives at risk.

In our latest podcast, Hilary delves into the world of ‘lies, damned lies, and statistics’ when it comes to measuring the UK’s labour force, and Seb considers the potential limitations of podcasts as revealed in a recent spat between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith over

Home Office post-2028 net migration forecasts are now expected to increase by 185,000 to 525,000. This implies a ‘housing need’ of 218,750 homes which exceeds the current TOTAL national annual build. Madness…

The HMRC budget was £64bn in 2021. Defence, for comparison, was £54bn in 2021. There’re 37.4m taxpayers in the UK. So the HMRC costs £1,711 per taxpayer! It’s mad that the organisation that collects tax costs so much. Our tax system is far too complicated and far too expensive.

If we believe in building a society with equality of opportunity and social mobility, it is clear where our focus of support is lacking. The white working class. Especially the boys.

This is so true. In so many fields, a degree is far less valuable than three comparable years of on-job training. The degree obsession has diverted resources, hindered potential, and often worsened outcomes.

As Starmer preens and postures on the international stage, Reeves and Miliband continue to propel the nation towards the singularity of their ever-expanding financial ‘black hole’. We need a sound and balanced energy policy to underpin reindustrialisation, national wealth

‘Migration numbers will fall’? It would be difficult for them not to. Labour is temperamentally and ideologically wedded to mass immigration as it does not believe in the nation. Labour will not deliver what the public want: an end to it. bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce81…

Nick Timothy makes an important point here: Yvette Cooper's proposed changes to indefinite leave to remain - extending the qualifying residency period from five years to ten years - will not apply to two million people who have recently arrived. Sleight of hand from Labour.

This is the number one concern for millions of the country's young people. It is a crisis that should be on the news agenda every day, with our politicians working all hours to solve it. Barely talked about in the legacy media. The disconnect is extreme.

Not only zero financial benefit, but zero benefit to our planet. Our Indulgences are unsustainable and the costs immoral, when the vulnerable are suffering hardship. We need a Reformation on Net Zero.

The Social Contract has been broken by the uniparty Govts of the last 30 years. Real change needed.

Revealing that Starmer can refer to mass immigration as a ‘broken system’ leading to an ‘island of strangers’ and yet sign a pro-migration trade deal with India and very possibly a new EU free movement deal all in the same month.

I believe the Prime Minister is about to betray Brexit and surrender the UK’s independence in foreign and defence policy. Only the Social Democratic Party has issued a statement expressing concern and opposition, where do the other parties stand? They seem rather quiet on Brexit being betrayed.
