@andyburnham And your policies are? I must have missed them today.

I listened to Andy Burnhams speech so you don’t have to - informative - I think not! #burnham #primeminister #speech

I'm glad the World Cup refs have VAR otherwise they might have missed this foul... Oh, wait, the on-field referee judged the challenge not to meet the threshold for a foul, so didn't check the VAR 😂 Writer: Ian

Dear American friends... This is our Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer who has been forced to stand down as he lost the faith of his own party and the public after 2 years. He moves out this weekend and a new guy moves in ( 24, 900 people voted for him in a small town called Makerfield. We have 70m people in the uk). All these people applauding Starmer wanted him out. This shower of sh*te prefer performative theatre over honesty and authenticity. Please send help! We are scr*wed. 🇬🇧

Absolutely beggars bloody belief…. As I said last week “the lunatics are running the asylum”!!! Placing Shabir Ahmed who raped countless children over many years in the doorstep of Rochdale/Oldham is just incompetence, neglect and clearly totally ignores the fear expressed by his victims of bumping into him! I’d been told by a high ranking officer in @gmpolice Greater Manchester Police that he was to be housed outside of the GMP area but not where, and I had hoped he would be sent to the ends of the country to prevent that happening! And they knew full well how his release had caused lots of fear amongst his victims and the community. Clearly the powers that be have decided that it’s more important to put him close to his own family, his friends and associates as he needs to feel welcome and that he’s “come home”!! Well it enrages me! Yet again! Victims and survivors have yet again not even been a consideration! Not even an afterthought! Just totally irrelevant, ignored and failed! So all the rhetoric around victims rights is just that! Rhetoric!! And it makes me sick! 😡

This is what I call modern art. None of that leftist nonsense. More power to the meme makers. Great work @CrewkerneGaz

@tag4UK How can a single parent of 2 kids who does not work get to offer more for her kids than a family of two working parents with 2 kids? All inclusive holiday, football lessons, drama classes, top-notch clothing, decorator, new bathroom, new car, 🤷🏻‍♀️

We've got until 2029.

Respect after the final whistle. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 moves on. #Norway #worldcup2026 #Bellingham

@BBCPolitics Perthetic

@RupertLowe10 Which Muhammad is responsible for there: tax bill, tax credit, housing benefits, ect ect.

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @garyseconomics Perthethtic

@RupertLowe10 @Ed_Miliband I hope you are doing what your constituates are asking for and attending. Please can you confirm?

Imagine a parent who spends far more than they earn every single month. FAR more. Instead of cutting back, they keep borrowing. For a while, life is comfortable for the family. Nobody minds, the times are good. But the credit cards go up. The loans get bigger. The interest keeps mounting. It gets worse and worse. The interest payments soon outweigh the food costs, the energy bill, the mortgage. It becomes unmanageable. The family’s income cannot cover it. It grows and grows and grows. The parent retires - doesn’t want to work, but wants the easy life to continue. The burden is left with the children who had no say in how the debt was accumulated in the first place. They’re left to pay the interest every month. Life is hard, and getting harder. The payments are crushing, and so vast the idea of ever repaying the actual debt feels impossible. Their entire financial existence is treading water in an attempt to manage the interest payments, all for decisions they did not take. Not an acceptable situation, is it? Clearly not. That is exactly what my generation has done to Britain's young men and women. In 2025/26 the government spent roughly £110 billion on debt interest. That’s 3.6% of GDP and 8.1% of total public spending. Almost double the defence budget. Think about that for a minute. It is INSANE. Think about how many taxpayers are working to simply service that debt. Not to fund public services or to build infrastructure, or to look after those in need, but to pay debt interest. To fund awful decisions. That is Britain in 2026. 30 years of easy, lazy and selfish decisions. We've borrowed hundreds of billions of pounds to avoid making hard choices. The debt grew, the interest payments soared. We've expanded the fat state, lived so far beyond our means and convinced ourselves someone else would eventually pay for it. That someone else is our children. Their children. Our grandchildren. They are expected to buy homes we made unaffordable, pay taxes we’ve allowed to soar and work to service a national debt we accumulated. Somehow survive the inflation that we have stoked and stoked with endless money printing and the growth of the parasitic state. We should have left them a country with affordable homes, low debt, cheap energy, growing industries and money in the bank. We should have left them a home built on solid foundations. As a country, we have failed. Restore Britain is prepared to do what responsible parents do, to do what that parent should have done to begin with. Stop spending money we don't have. Brutally cut back, live within our means and then some. Pay off the debt. Make the difficult choices. Not for us, but for them. Does that approach make for easy decisions today? No. Does it win many votes? Probably not. But it is the only way to restore fairness, responsibility and economic sanity. Because I don’t know how else to put this. The country is BROKE. Britain is bankrupt, and my generation bankrupt it. Zero point denying it. And let me be clear about one thing. The economy, and the country, is teetering on the edge of a very high, a very jagged and a very dangerous cliff. Complete and total economic collapse awaits. But the only good news is that there is finally a political party with the courage and the honesty to do something about it for our children and our grandchildren - to start the rebuild, the repair, the restoration. Restore Britain. And if you don't like the sound of those difficult decisions, then don't vote for us.

@MartinSLewis Ha @MartinSLewis My standard daily charge is more than my usage. How is that fair? 😫

@BBCPolitics How are you going to achieve this?

@TheGriftReport No sympathy or empathy for this disgusting human.

New safe and legal routes for refugees to come to the UK will begin to rollout in the autumn, giving genuine refugees a pathway to rebuild their lives. Our new community sponsorship scheme will allow approved groups to choose the refugees they sponsor, taking responsibility for their housing, integration and supporting them into work. Trusted universities will be able to directly sponsor refugees through a new refugee study route. A new refugee work sponsorship route is expected to open next year. All arrivals will have refugee status, undergo strict biometric screening, criminality checks and health assessments before arrival, to ensure support reaches those in genuine need. Numbers will start small and build over time, ensuring the routes remain controlled and sustainable while public confidence is restored in Britain's immigration system. The first refugee arrivals are expected by autumn 2027.
