No one should be comfortable with the Gov't being able to directly access your bank account, whether to take money or give money.
🚨 BREAKING: John Healey has announced a £100 cash payment for 20 million households in Council Tax bands A to D
"This will be paid directly into people's bank accounts"

Why does Reform keep crying that Restore is stealing votes?
1) They are very different parties with different levels of integrity;
2) I'm confident a proportion of Restore voters would spoil the ballot if Reform was the only alternative;
3) Reform lost many voters with U-turns, lies, and their dismal treatment of Rupert Lowe; and
4) Restore held out an olive branch and Reform rejected it.
This is Reform's own fault, no one elses.
As @scientificecon has been preaching, we must establish more banks, local banks, to direct productive credit to SMEs who:
a) rely on banks most;
b) are most productive per $1 lent; and
c) are the biggest employer!
If we want growth, we must establish banks.
Is it too late to save the financial system?
I sat down with Richard Werner, the man who coined QE, to discuss $40T of exponential debt, interest payments bigger than the Pentagon budget, and paper claims growing twice as fast as the real economy.
We cover:
➡️ Why debt is unsustainable, and why nobody in power is cutting spending
➡️ How killing thousands of small banks hollowed out the middle class
➡️ QE2 in 2020 as a gratuitous money dump into consumption
➡️ Stablecoins as a backdoor toward digital control
➡️ Petrodollar, energy, and what happens when Treasury yields actually price risk
Werner thinks productive credit and ending the wars could still change the math. I came away unconvinced the current crop will do any of that.
A body in motion stays in motion, and its current trajectory leads to financial and monetary chaos.

Bond yields are normalising.
Remember, gov't bond yields follow nominal GDP growth, and that's been boosted by the central planners by creating the second bout of significant inflation.
All very normal, for the central planners.
The global bond market appears to be "blowing the fuck up." Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like it could be a problem.

This seems to be one of their only recent posts where they've turned comments off...
I wonder why! 🤔
Balaclava-clad anti-migrant activists led by convicted criminal 'Danny Tommo' stage latest protest outside Daily Mail office trib.al/Aj9Dtfe
People condemning the peaceful loyal protestors in Dover & Portsmouth.
Those same people, happy with the violence perpetrated at Notting Hill carnival.
🤦🏼♂️
Fair play to @RealDannyTommo and the others for the hours of protesting last night and bringing to our attention the vast number invading our border in Portsmouth.
Peaceful, no problems. I'm sure the media will report it differently, though
All political parties need to be held accountable for criminal offences.
Whether that be for dodgy dealings, enabling illegal immigrants to flood our borders, or actively turning a blind eye to the heinous rape gangs.
I'd rather see prosecuted those who enabled the rape of hundreds of thousands of British children than someone who is dodgy af.
Do I dislike Farage? Yes.
Do I hate Starmer, Burnham, and all those who enabled the heinous crimes? Yes.

SMEs are the backbone of major economies.
We need banking systems catered for them, not against them.
🔎 RESEARCH: SMEs are the backbone of Europe, but banks usually reject them.
SME lending in the EU fell 40–50% after Basel III tightened capital rules, then dropped another 12% since 2023. The result is a €39B annual funding shortfall that is filled by non-bank lenders through floating-rate debt that punishes SMEs when rates rise.
This opens a real opportunity onchain for retail-accessible SME lending.
I highly respect Monty. He's been protesting, educating people, and standing up against the growing authoritarian regime since the start of lockdowns, regardless of the personal attacks.
🚨: I went to the EU Parliament and EXPOSED Digital ID - this fight is far from over.
The public were told Britain had scrapped Digital ID -THEY LIED. Today the government is launching consultations and new plans for a national digital identity system to access services online.
So the reality is simple.
They stopped trying to force it through the front door.
Now it’s being built quietly through the back door.
Through systems like GOV.UK One Login, digital driving licences, digital veteran cards, and facial recognition expanding across London. Piece by piece, the infrastructure is being normalised while people are told it’s about “convenience”. A social credit system is coming to Britain if we don't stop it!
If we, the people let this happen it will be irreversible.
Huge thank you to @gomehacom (Make Europe Healthy Again), @MAHUMO20 (Dr Maria Hubmer Mogg) and @AndersonAfDMdEP for bringing together people from across politics, activism and civil society to defend our fundamental freedoms and push back against Digital ID.

The purpose of Dodd-Frank was to end “too big to fail.” But it ended up creating “too small to succeed.”
The post-2008 regulatory framework entrenched the dominance of the largest banks by rewarding economies of scale and lucrative lobbying operations in Washington. What followed was a community bank bottleneck that left America’s hometowns reeling.
The time has come for a community bank comeback. That’s why @POTUS is re-empowering heartland bankers by rolling back the harmful regulations of his predecessor to drive growth and prosperity on Main Street.

This sounds so exciting.
All the authoritarians, dictators and assorted central planning technocrats are thoroughly thrilled.
I'm delighted to announce that @quantnetwork has been selected to create the new payments infrastructure and bank technology of the UK's Tokenised Sterling Deposits (GBTD), a groundbreaking financial market infrastructure initiative led by UK Finance, in collaboration with major commercial banks including Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, Santander and Nationwide.
Our technology has been chosen for its proven capabilities in interconnecting and interoperating diverse systems and enabling #programmability across different forms of money, building on our successful delivery during the #RLN's initial experimentation phase.
This milestone goes beyond improving #payments, it's about enabling new forms of #programmablemoney that will fundamentally transform how value is moved and managed.

Labour is disliked. Starmer is hated. Petitions have been raised and signed by over 3 million people for there to be another General Election.
How does the British legally remove Starmer? It is not a democracy if a PM refuses to step down.

Keir Starmer's desperate push for compulsory digital ID cards as an immigration "fix" is pure deception.
Here are 5 common claims made by digital ID advocates - and the truth behind each one 👇
🗣️Claim 1: “Compulsory ID cards will stop illegal immigration.”
❌Reality: Germany, France and Italy ALREADY HAVE national ID systems – and even worse problems with unauthorised migrants!
- Last year, Italy had 67,000 "small boat" arrivals vs. 37,000 in non-ID card UK
- Germany recorded 91,000 irregular entries in 2022 – around TWICE the UK’s, in UK’s peak year to date
🗣️Claim 2: “Digital ID would stop people sneaking in.”
❌Reality: Most UK unauthorised migrants arrive legally - then overstay visas.
Post-entry ID checks don’t stop this.
🗣️Claim 3: “Digital ID cards would stop illegal working.”
❌Reality: In countries with advanced ID systems, forged/stolen IDs and off-the-books work remain common.
France’s shadow economy is around 10% of GDP, for example.
🗣️Claim 4: Digital ID would "stop NHS use by illegal migrants"
❌Reality: GPs and A&E are already open to all by law. Hospital care is already chargeable if you’re not ordinarily resident.
This is a *deliberate policy choice,* supported by NHS guidance. It's not a tech gap. Digital ID adds nothing.
🗣️Claim 5: “Digital ID just makes life easier for everyone.”
❌Reality: It risks mass surveillance, mission creep, yet more state control, data breaches, racial profiling - and creating a permanent underclass of 10m+ UK citizens who lack basic tech skills.
The eVisa rollout is already dragging lawful residents into a Windrush-style mess.
In short, the claim Digital ID will “solve” illegal immigration is just the latest excuse in a long line…
It comes from dubious characters like Tony Blair who have a decades-long obsession with “tagging”, tracking and “managing” British citizens.
As far as immigration goes, imposing compulsory digital ID cards would just be a costly distraction from the Home Office’s basic job:
1 Process claims quickly
2 Enforce existing laws
3 Remove those with no right to remain
No tech gimmick will substitute for that.
Compulsory digital ID cards won’t control immigration – but they will control YOU.
This is a clear threat to everyone’s freedom, privacy, and safety – and we say NO.
Needless to say - it never featured in Labour's manifesto, and this party voted for by only 1 in 5 of the electorate have NO democratic mandate to upend a centuries-old tradition of liberty in Britain and impose "Papers Please" on us all.
If you agree, as well as taking the actions at our campaign page, please join Together as a member so we can fight this as strongly as possible – thank you.
