Jews were murdered in Manchester today and tonight in my city the local pro-Pals went ahead with a plan to shut down the train station. A brave soul shouted “Free the hostages” and they BOOED him. This dehumanisation is what gets Jews killed. I felt really scared in there.

Britain is sliding into the oldest trap in the book - and the government is laying the bait. Across towns and cities, ordinary people protesting the collapse of their communities are being met not just by police lines but by choreographed mobs of left-wing activists, bussed in under banners like Stand Up to Racism. This isn't spontaneous counter-protest. It's state-sanctioned provocation. The pattern is clear. Locals rally outside migrant hotels to demand their closure. Counter-demonstrators, backed by NGOs and shielded by police, descend to brand them "racist." The two sides clash. Cameras roll. The headlines write themselves: far-right violence, public order crisis, threat to democracy. Suddenly, the story isn't the government's betrayal over immigration - it's the need for more powers, more crackdowns, more control. This is how you turn legitimate dissent into criminality. By baiting it, inflaming it, and then using it as the pretext for repression. The government doesn't fear the leftist mobs because those mobs serve their purpose. They fear the ordinary British majority that is waking up to the reality of demographic change, cultural erosion, and the slow replacement of their birthright. That majority must be discredited and contained - and street clashes give the state exactly the excuse it needs. Make no mistake: none of this is accidental. A government that wanted peace would listen to the people, end the hotel racket, and restore order by defending the border. Instead, it manufactures conflict at home while waving more arrivals through abroad. The goal isn't resolution. It's escalation - so they can claim extraordinary powers while painting patriots as extremists. The riots aren't the breakdown of the system; they are the system. "Counter-demonstrators, backed by NGOs and shielded by police, descend to brand them "racist.""

Two things happened in Gaza this week. 1. The UN declared that thousands of children are “on the brink” of acute malnutrition. 2. Hamada Ice Cream shop reopened with music and a packed crowd. Which one did you see on the news? 🔗 👇

It’s almost as if these words from @hmtreasury - which will have been through numerous drafts and committees staffed by taxpayer-funded and generously-pensioned and therefore financially secure staff - are deliberately designed to wind up so many of the UK’s dedicated and hardy but now seriously concerned farming families. The lack of emotional intelligence is simply jaw-dropping …
A stunning claim from the Treasury’s Family Farm Tax impact assessment. They say it will have “no significant impact” on family life. Have the treasury spoken to a single farmer? It is already causing a huge amount of stress and anxiety amongst our hardworking farming families

If there's one thing that really angers me, it's littering. The English countryside is increasingly coming to resemble a rubbish tip, in large part because we've imported hundreds of thousands of people who are accustomed to behaving like this. xitter.cf/cosyposter/status/1944…

My weekly "Economics Agenda" column in @Telegraph often focuses on the UK’s national accounts – with good reason. Britain’s public finances are in a parlous state, teetering on the brink of systemic meltdown. I don't say this lightly. In this week's column, I show that, even though our headline national debt figures are alarming, the underlying reality is even worse. That's because the true scale of our national debt, the liabilities that the government - ie. taxpayers - face is much, much bigger than the numbers we hear discussed in Parliament and on our airwaves. Serious financial analysts understand this - and the scale of our vast "off-balance sheet" liabilites is another reason why "gilt yields" have been rising. In other words, the borrowing costs faced by governmment have been going up – along with the related debt interest bill which must be funded by higher taxes and/or even more borrowing. In 2023/24, the government spent a jaw-dropping £107 billion on debt interest – almost 4pc of GDP, around 9pc of all government spending, roughly what the state spends on education !! This is insane - and deeply immoral - and that total is set to rise even more. The danger is that the state's debts and related interest payments spiral out of control, causing a funding crisis and a market meltdown that does very serious economic and societal damage. Again, I don't say this lightly - and, even though I'm an optimist by disposition, I certainly don't apologise for pointing out these bleak financial realities. Read the rest of this thread to learn more ... 🧵1/6 telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
