The real enemy is not Reform. It’s the political establishment that has presided over Britain’s decline. Labour, the Fabians, the civil service, NGOs and the media that shield them. And beyond our borders, institutions like the WEF, UN, WHO and the EU, whose influence over Britain’s future deserves far greater scrutiny. While they fill hotels, reshape communities and rewrite the rules, patriots are busy fighting each other over who is pure enough. The North East still has much of its identity, culture and character. But none of it can be taken for granted. We need to stop fighting those who broadly share our concerns and start addressing the system we want to change. Are we serious about restoring Britain, is it time to step over Reform? šŸ«”šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

Newcastle has a monument to the man whose government abolished slavery. We have nothing to apologise for.
Replying to @RupertLowe10
The British government abolished slavery in 1833. We have nothing to apologise for. Burnham signing us up for talks while the system imports hundreds of thousands more, who will claim welfare, our expense. Not one MP has signed your motion yet. Disgusting. What is the point of erecting memorials to the men that abolished slavery, if two centuries later, we are still apologising?

ā€œThe official party position is that we do not care what Sky News thinks of anything.ā€ Sky just spent days digging into Restore Britain for ethnonationalism. Meanwhile the North East is still relatively untouched compared with Leicester or Bradford. Good, but… Streets, schools and services are changing fast, which is exactly what ethnonationalism seeks to prevent. Rightly so… Our kids won’t get the childhood we had, if we don’t act now. The media is the permanent propaganda arm of the Uniparty. Same script every time a party actually talks about borders and British people first. Do you care what Sky News thinks?
Restore's growth has been unusually rapid in British politics - going from a fringe movement to a significant impact at the polls in less than two years. Sky's @Chesh investigates Restore Britain campaigners' links to white nationalist and ethnonationalist views

Shabana Mahmood says she knows ā€œthe people of this country wish to continue welcoming genuine refugees.ā€ The only people she has actually asked are those who responded to the Home Office consultation. 73% of them were current visa holders. Only 18% were British citizens. They even said the results should not be treated as representative of the public. She still claims the new settlement rules will save ā€œbillionsā€ while refusing to cost the care-worker exemptions. A single Ā£25k care worker is near break-even in a working year. Once the average 1–1.5 dependants and lifetime costs are included, MAC modelling puts the net fiscal impact at around –£36k per worker. Hundreds of thousands who arrived before May 2025 keep the five-year route to ILR. Whose preference is actually shaping our immigration policy?

The consultation should not be treated as representative of the general public. Only @RupertLowe10 sits in parliament actually representing the British public. Is this paragraph, from the Home Office consultation, as damning as it sounds?

The Home Office’s own consultation response: 73% of respondents were current visa holders. Only 18% were British citizens. And they explicitly say the results ā€œshould not be treated as representative of the general public.ā€ Yet this is what they used to shape settlement policy. Should a self-selecting consultation dominated by visa holders be treated as a guide to public opinion?
They asked visa holders if they should get faster settlement. 73% of respondents were current visa holders. Only 18% were British citizens. I don’t think @Sargon_of_Akkad thinks this consultation is legitimate… 🧵1/5

If running a parallel consultation weighted toward or open only to British citizens/native British respondents is feasible, who has the means to commission it? The Home Office version was self-selecting and skewed. Could someone with means and motivation fund a proper one? @PeterMcCormack and others in that position, maybe @DuncanBannatyne, have both the capital and the interest. Both love their country.

Should we push the FOIs and commission a counter-consultation that reflects British opinion? Or accept that settlement policy is being shaped by those with a direct financial interest in the outcome? @RupertLowe10 has declared the entire ILR system illegitimate. Can we prove that it is?

Shabana Mahmood just watered down the settlement rules for foreign care workers. Labour promised longer waits for the Boriswave. Then their backbench traitors pushed back and the waits got shorter again. Hundreds of thousands of care workers and their dependants still get a fast track to permanent settlement. Chain migration at its most destructive. The North East already has one of the highest economic inactivity rates in the country. We keep importing the labour while our own stay on benefits. Why do Labour allow their backbenchers to decide their policies?

Pause. Breathe. Give yourself permission to question the thought. Trauma can leave us with deeply rooted fears and beliefs that feel difficult to challenge. Sometimes a thought can feel so convincing that we accept it as fact, even when it is shaped by past experiences rather than what is happening today. The next time a harsh thought appears, try giving yourself a moment. Take a breath and gently ask yourself: Is this fear, or is this fact? You don’t have to find every answer today. You don’t have to rush, force yourself or meet anyone else’s expectations. Your feelings deserve understanding, your experiences deserve compassion, and your healing deserves to happen at your own pace. You are not defined by your thoughts, your past or what happened to you. You deserve peace, safety and the freedom to move forward in your own time. Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families. #PAGUK #SupportingSurvivors #YouAreNotAlone

Our bridge is still being repaired. Local authorities are still contributing. £40 million for Caribbean infrastructure just appeared. Someone explain the hierarchy of needs here.
Andy Burnham just found Ā£40 million for Caribbean infrastructure. The Tyne Bridge restoration is costing around the same. Central government put in the bulk. Newcastle and Gateshead councils had to find roughly Ā£5 million of their own. Our bridge is still being repaired. Our local authorities are still having to contribute. But the money for overseas infrastructure appears when the Commonwealth summit needs it. I wonder what @RupertLowe10 would say to this… These are our streets. This is our infrastructure. Built by our people, paid for by our people. How much longer do we fund everyone else’s before our own is sorted?

I ran the Great North Run in 2022 and was disgusted by the state of the bridge. Seeing it up close as I ran over it, the paint was the most obvious sign of the disrepair. Does anyone know the original colour?

Andy Burnham is ā€œopenā€ to a formal slavery apology. An apology to people who never were slaves, on behalf of people who never owned slaves. The North East’s working families are getting poorer. Labour’s client groups are getting larger. An apology is just the next step in manufacturing the guilt they need to keep taxing the people whose country this actually is. They court every interest group except us. How many more working-class British families have to get poorer so Burnham can keep the Commonwealth happy?

If no British person alive today owned a slave, and no British person alive today is a slave, then what exactly are we still paying for? The North East’s working families are getting poorer. The client groups Labour courts are getting larger. Someone is being prioritised. It isn’t the people whose country this actually is. What’s the end point of this?
No British person alive today owned a slave. No British person alive today is a slave. Labour are just manufacturing ancestral guilt so they can tax the natives into the ground to buy the votes of yet another imported client group. You court every interest group in the country except the people whose country this actually is. That isn’t justice. That’s betrayal. How many more working-class British families have to get poorer so you can keep your new voter base happy?
