France is cracking down on rioters with proposed curfews, because if there’s one thing that a delinquent arsonist respects above all, it’s a consistent bedtime

I’m fortunate. I’ve been successful in business, I have money, I don’t have to worry about our financial future. I donate my entire MP salary to local charities, to show that I’m in politics for the right reasons. I’ll be honest. I don’t have to worry about paying the mortgage each month, or having enough money to buy the children what they want for their birthday, or even being able to put food on the table. I don’t, but I know millions of Brits do. That’s the brutal reality. Hardworking British men and women should not have to live like that. If you work hard, put the hours in and live honestly? You should be rewarded for it, properly. That means lower tax, MUCH lower tax and higher thresholds, but it also means a state that can keep inflation under control so that the cost of living does not outstrip your wage. Fuel, food shop, clothes, electricity. Everything. It all gets more expensive whilst so many earn the same. Inflation. All driven up by the decisions of politicians who will never have to live with the consequences of their actions. Our economy is completely broken. It works for the international corporates, the bureaucrats, the London managers. It does NOT work for the plumber, the entrepreneur, the farmer, the construction worker, the hairdresser, the nurse, the sole trader, the HGV driver, the police officer. We must aim to entirely reshape how the economy works so that vast profits made from British workers are not shifted offshore through complex corporate structures whilst working families are bled dry by our corrupt state. I want family businesses to thrive, entrepreneurs to succeed, risk-takers to flourish. Those who contribute, protect and enhance our society rewarded. I want the shirkers and piss-takers crushed. That’s what I want. That’s what Restore Britain wants. I don’t want the parasitic global corporations or our rotten state profiting off the ingenuity and sweat of the British risk-taker. Rotten monopolies that have no respect for the individual will end. In short - an economy that provides for our people. There is ONE way out. A Britain that lives within it means. Just as we all have to, our state must do the same. Spend less than it earns. It’s that simple. That is how we make Britain affordable again, make Britain ambitious again and make Britain work again. That’s what a Restore Britain Government will deliver. Release the innate brilliance and tenacity of the British people. Our entrepreneurial spirit conquered the world before and we can do it again.

Ah. So they DO have a line you can’t cross. Same thing in any classroom or school. There is always a line. The question is where you draw it. The Louvre is where France chose to draw the line.
French police warned protesters: "If you approach the Louvre Museum in Paris, we will open fire!"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
French police issued no such warning to open fire near the Louvre. Coverage of the Oct 17-19 protests details non-lethal crowd control like tear gas amid clashes and a small peaceful student blockade of the museum. thelocal.fr/20261019/prote… lemonde.fr/societe/live/2… leparisien.fr/societe/direct…

The anti-Muslim hostility definition is designed to silence criticism of Islam, its history and its practices. It is a direct assault on our fundamental right to free speech. Baroness Gohir, a member of the House of Lords and of the Working Group tasked with drafting the definition, has claimed that it is “Islamophobic” to point out that most rape-gang perpetrators were Muslim men. This is despite Baroness Casey’s report finding a disproportionate number of perpetrators of child sexual exploitation were men of Pakistani heritage. Earlier this year, the Free Speech Union revealed that all five members of the Working Group, appointed by Angela Rayner, had troubling links to Islamist organisations. Rayner’s department then claimed it had deleted all responses to the Working Group’s consultation, apparently breaching the Government’s own data policy. This only fuelled speculation that Islamist extremists may have influenced the drafting of what amounts to a de facto Islamic blasphemy law. After an investigation, the department claimed that the responses were still held on its data system — but refused to disclose them. It makes no sense. What is Angela Rayner hiding? Watch @Katie_Lam_MP’s video 👇
Angela Rayner's "Islamophobia definition" is designed to shut down free speech. It'll make it far harder to tell the truth about extremism and the grooming gangs. But she still won't tell us who helped her to write it. What is she trying to hide?

I was on a live panel last night and a Pakistani Muslim said I was a liar and a racist for mentioning the 250,000 white British girls raped predominantly by Muslim men. Even when I played him this clip he still denied it and said I was spreading misinformation.

Due to the Government’s insane pursuit of net zero, destruction of coal-fired power stations .., yesterday, our country blew 50 million quid just to balance the grid. Imagine what that money could have bought. The British people have been cruelly betrayed.
Yesterday, @neso_energy spent a record *£50m* in grid balancing costs….to keep the lights on. In one day. A warm, sunny day. This is unsustainable. What is going on at NESO? Why are their models so wrong?

Andy Burnham must get a grip of the real challenges facing our rural communities. But stacking a new fertiliser tax on top of the SFI shambles, giving away our food laws to the EU and hammering hard-working families with vindictive death taxes isn’t a strategy, it’s pushing British farming to the brink.

Some of Labour's biggest names were conspicuously absent from today's Commons vote on plans to house 1,200 male asylum seekers near the tiny village of Piddington. But one absence stands out above all others. Shabana Mahmood. The Home Secretary responsible for this entire mess failed to record a vote. Other notable Labour MPs who failed to vote include: Rachel Reeves. Yvette Cooper. Wes Streeting. David Lammy. Ed Miliband. John Healey. Jonathan Reynolds. Peter Kyle. Lucy Powell. Louise Haigh. These are some of the most powerful politicians in Britain, yet not one put their name to a recorded vote for or against this controversial proposal. Meanwhile, women from Piddington travelled to Westminster to make their fears and concerns heard. They deserved answers. They deserved accountability. Instead, some of Labour's most senior figures were nowhere to be seen on the voting record. Where were they? Why didn't they vote? And most importantly, why did the Home Secretary herself fail to record a vote on a motion concerning her own department's plans? If there are legitimate explanations, let's hear them. You don't get to exercise power over people's communities and then escape scrutiny when it's time to be held accountable.
I find it absolutely disgusting that prominent women in the Labour Party, who have spent years talking about women's safety, have voted against scrapping plans to house around 1,200 male illegal migrants next to the tiny village of Piddington. These women include: Jess Phillips. Liz Kendall. Lisa Nandy. Bridget Phillipson. Angela Rayner. Nadia Whittome. All six have spoken publicly about the importance of women's safety. Yet today, despite hearing the concerns of women in Piddington who say they feel unsafe, every single one voted against the motion to scrap the plans. Where is all that concern for women's safety now? These women aren't asking for special treatment. They're asking to feel safe in their own homes, in their own community. Labour politicians are perfectly happy to lecture the country about protecting women, but when women raise concerns about a decision their own Government is making, those concerns appear to count for very little. Every single one of these MPs has let the women of Piddington down today. Women's safety should never be a convenient political slogan. It should matter just as much when listening to women is politically uncomfortable.

Appalling.
Not one female Labour backbencher turned up to Parliament for the debate about dumping 1,200 illegal male migrants in an army camp in Piddington. Labour have so far, refused to meet a single woman from Piddington. Labour only care about women when it’s convenient for them.

She goes from strength to strength. And she has the courage of her convictions.
What a performance from Kemi Badenoch, absolutely destroys Andy Burnham and Labour’s never ending tax rises. “I asked him about the budget. He said he was meeting President Zelensky. President Zelensky is not writing the budget, he is.” “Labour’s last two budgets have been a disaster.” Labour’s tax rises are killing businesses, damaging the economy, and making life more expensive for everyone. #PMQs

Independent Office for Police Complaints has found that the @metpoliceuk handling of a complaint by the great Graham Linehan @Glinner was “not reasonable and proportionate”. The police’s obsession with “hate crime” is a stain on our national life. mol.im/a/16209153

British farming is on the brink of total collapse, and I am utterly fed up of the champions league bullshitting we get from politicians and civil servants. I outlined to the head of DEFRA exactly why SO many farmers are SO furious with how we are being treated.

Does this Government have no shame? The whole process of drafting and implementing the official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” stinks. First, Angela Rayner appointed five people to the Working Group tasked with drafting the definition. All had previously expressed support for the need for a definition, and all had troubling links to Islamist organisations. Second, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said it had deleted all responses to the Working Group’s consultation. That appeared to contradict the Government’s own data policy and has only fuelled speculation that Islamist extremists may have had an opportunity to influence the process. Third, the Ministry has now admitted that it did not delete the responses after all: they still exist on the department’s data system. What on earth is going on? It is time for Angela Rayner to come clean with the British public.
Ministers lied when they said the evidence behind their "Islamophobia" definition was deleted. I exposed Labour's cover-up, and they have now been forced to correct the record. It's almost certain extremist groups influenced the definition. I'll keep fighting for the truth.
