Kemi, please name just one way in which the “social media ban” for children will not require the 68 million internet users in the UK, of all ages, to provide our digital ID or biometric data? Thanks

So basically we won’t be wanting peace even if Putin wants it because our plan is to get us into a war so we can stay in power as we can’t be voted out in wartime which is a trick Zelenskyy has mastered beautifully to stay in power ! Am I wrong? 🙄

🚨 Oh … the media mostly ignored this. On 21 January 2026, the House of Lords ALSO voted in favour of an amendment that would ban VPNs for under-18s by forcing providers to apply “highly effective age assurance”. There is no way to enforce age assurance on VPNs without

The House of Lords in Britain just voted to pass a law requiring age verification to use VPNs. If the law is implemented, it means people must show ID or scan their face to be allowed to use a VPN in Britain. This is tyrannical.

In 2010, you needed to earn £37,400 to pay the higher tax rate  16 years later & it’s just £300 more, but inflation has been 58% in that time  The threshold should be £59,000, not £37,700 Now 4 million more people pay 40% tax who should be in a lower tax bracket  This is why

🚨NEW FASCIST TRAVEL LAWS IN UK - 15 MINUTE CITIES Oxford is the first but more will soon follow: - You must apply for a PERMIT to leave your area - Commute PERMIT needed to travel to work - 50 visitor passes per year - 100 day passes per year This is absolutely insane

Could any picture better symbolise the ghastly, cosiness of media and political elites who turned, in a few decades, a proud and confident country into a riven, quivering wreck ?

The Labour government recently awarded a taxpayer funded contract award of £240million to Palantir - a surveillance US tech company and client of the lobbying firm founded by Peter Mandelson. Keir Starmer visited Palantir in Washington in February 2025. His visit was arranged

Keir Starmer, four weeks ago; “I will not hesitate to ban X, if necessary” Keir Starmer today to his cabinet “Get on X and show your support for me” Funny old world, Elon Musk

Open justice is one of the fundamental pillars of the British justice system. Yet the Ministry of Justice is ordering the deletion of the UK’s largest court reporting archive. That act will only serve to undermine transparency and justice in Great Britain.

Mark W Tebbutt Bob Ward It's a literal fact that the Met Office has been forced to delete data after it was shown to have been made up Essentially members of the public went to inspect the weather station and found no equipment at the site So they asked the Met Office which said the data were

There is a moment when a government stops pretending to listen. David Lammy has reached that moment. The Justice Secretary is pressing ahead with judge-only trials despite opposition from his own MPs, the legal profession, former law officers and the review he himself

‼️ Oh look. While we’re all distracted Westminster wants to hide some stuff. They propose removing the names of MPs’ staff from the public register. And how may staff they employ, including ‘advisors’ Meaning we can’t spot links to corporations, lobbying firms or outside

This is shocking. Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote. The Prime Minister is completely out of control on this. MPs must come together and stop him from undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy

Labour MPs. If you vote to abolish jury trial today this is what you will be remembered for. Not your breakfast clubs, your NHS funding, your employment reforms. This will be the most fundamental and significant assault on the human right to a fair trial in a generation.
