The agenda gap between the government and the governed has rarely been larger.
Much of the ‘woke’ agenda pushed 24/7 is viewed as purely political and a distraction from the obvious problems.
Victory awaits those that seek action, which is hard, rather than optics, which is easy.
Hearing from a pal in the City who is ‘in the know’ that Britain rejoining the EU will mean a broad 0.5% financial transaction tax on City of London equity, bond, derivative and FX trades by the US.
The aim will be to reduce reliance on London. Shifting it more to New York.
I do find this hard to believe.

Changes w/ 10-15 Sep.
The Uniparty is scared. Tories willing to lose in 2029 in order to scupper Reform. Labour fixing polls and gaslighting via friendly media placements.
They all assume that without Farage/Tice/Lowe/.. normal service will be resumed.
Why is @lewis_goodall asking blokes I've barely ever met about my tweets? Why not ask me?
I'm free to come on @LBC and discuss my tweets whenever he likes.
Will he oblige, or is he just blatantly using this as a partisan cudgel against Reform? @Ofcom
Politicians should not be allowed to turn replies off on posts @elonmusk
Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

BBC News still pretending that the demonstrations are about education, when almost every placard and flag is about Palestine.

True
Margaret Thatcher explained this perfectly back in 1983
The government doesn't have money of its own. Every time politicians promise to spend more, someone has to pay for it
And people somehow still think it's someone else's money
“There is no such thing as public money. There is only taxpayers’ money”
And sooner or later, that someone else they expect to pay is YOU
If this is proven to be true, then it’s effectively fascism. ITV must be disbanded and criminal investigations instigated. ‘Discovery’ would be a very interesting.
STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇
This needs to be investigated. Broadcasting license should be lost, if found guilty.
When Reform's letters to postal voters in Portsmouth were ready to go out, two undercover ITV reporters were personally responsible for almost two hundred of them in the ward of Drayton and Farlington.
Reform lost Drayton and Farlington by 24 votes.
The same two men were responsible for delivering leaflets to half the ward of Baffins.
Reform lost Baffins by 85 votes.
These were men whose purpose was to infiltrate Reform UK and damage it.
In two wards decided by a few dozen votes, we believe there are reasonable grounds to conclude that ITV altered the result of British elections.
There is no precedent for this.
It is certainly not journalism.
We believe it to be criminal.
We will hold ITV and its activists to account.

Europe gives them free healthcare, free housing, free education, every social program, and a quality of life they could never have back home… yet they will still loot and destroy the West into the third-world.
There is no magic soil.
A nation is simply it’s people.
Arrived in Britain for a family visit. First thoughts:
1. Heathrow is a mess. Uncivilised place.
2. Passport control very efficient.
3. Hotel has poor aircon.
4. Price of cafes/food is double that of Australia, yet the avg Brit earns half.

Calling out Russian interference in the Brexit vote while ignoring that of the US (back of the queue) and the EU … and then enabling fraud via no voter ID is industrial scale gaslighting.

Burnham’s own government ministers are coming out today saying the PM is lying. This is the state of Labour. It’s all distraction, away from the Manchester City-Abu Dhabi scandal. No way to run Britain…
PM says it is 'clear' Russia interfered with Brexit vote bbc.in/4hOBPS4
Disgusting and divisive
