How many times do backwoodsmen (in both the @Conservatives and @reformparty_uk) have to be told that neither party can beat the left unless they work together.
"We don't need them" will GUARANTEE a left-wing government again.

We are quietly isolating an entire generation of older people from society, and nobody seems to give a damn.
I took my 84-year-old grandfather to his local bank branch on Friday.
The exact same brick-and-mortar branch where he opened his first account in 1978.
We pull up to the front doors. They’re locked.
Inside is an empty lobby with a small sign: “Cashless Service Hub.”
A young guy in a polo shirt opens the door and tells us:
“We don't handle teller deposits or paper checks here anymore. You just need to download the mobile portal and scan your routing number.”
My grandfather pulls out an old flip phone with a cracked screen and a paper pension check from his coat pocket.
His hands were visibly shaking.
The employee just shrugs.
“You can do it on an iPad, or have a family member manage the app for you.”
This man worked forty-two years in a manufacturing plant. Paid his taxes. Fought for this country.
And now he is made to feel completely useless and stripped of his dignity because he doesn't own an iOS device.
Tech isn't making life easier if it completely locks out the people who built the world we’re living in.
Are your elderly parents or grandparents running into this wall too?

ALERT: Farmers market gets an unexpected visitor as a bear chows down on some pastries in Colorado.
Shoppers spotted the brown bear at a farmers market in Aspen, and it helped itself to a wide variety of pastries and breads from the Louis Swiss Bakery stall.
Bears in this region are preparing for hibernation, and this one is getting its fair share of carbs.

Well said Ian Botham:
“Whitehall is turning England into a tinderbox. Defra’s response to climate change has been to sharply increase vegetation. Over the past 20 years its cuts in upland cattle and sheep grazing led to a 25 per cent increase in highly flammable grass.
Another genius move has been to stop preventative burning of heather. During damp winter months these burns safely prune the dead material which is then replaced by younger plants. It is the dead heather that is combustible. And thanks to Defra we now have 74 per cent more of it. The winter burns used to create firebreaks. Now we have huge expanses of continuous, ageing vegetation. The result is disaster after disaster.
When Downing Street starts asking questions of Defra, jaws will drop. Why did it further restrict winter burns despite the National Fire Chiefs Council warning this risked the lives of "firefighters and the public"? How come it also ignored the pleading of top wildfire scientists not to go ahead?
In 2007, officials said that stopping winter burns would produce "a much increased risk" of wildfires. Which is exactly what we are getting. Rewilded land going up in smoke.
Other countries have learnt the hard way. Australia and California tried suppressing the prescribed burns that indigenous people had used for tens of thousands of years. By some calculations, dozens died before their governments saw sense. What will it take for ours to wake up?
This is a crisis caused by years of Whitehall grabbing power away from the countryside.”

Agenda 2030 Or The Defence Of The Realm. Starmer Has Made His Choice. John Healey Has Resigned Over It.
This morning Britain woke up without a Defence Secretary. By lunchtime it knew why.
The numbers tell the story precisely. The Ministry of Defence faces a £28 billion funding shortfall over four years. Healey wanted £18 billion. He was offered £13.5 billion of which defence chiefs regarded only £10 billion as real money. The remaining £3.5 billion was, in the words of the Telegraph, invented through magical accounting tricks. The Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, took the unusual step of writing directly to Starmer to warn that the money was not enough. The head of the British armed forces writing directly to the Prime Minister is not a routine communication. It is a signal of desperation.
Starmer told NATO last week that it is our intelligence assessment that there could be an attack by Russia on NATO as soon as 2030. Those are his words. His government's assessment. Shared with our allies. Four years away. And his Treasury offered the man responsible for defending against that threat an accounting trick and a two page summary instead of a funded plan. Why. Because the money was needed elsewhere.
In 2015 every United Nations member state including Britain signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Its 17 goals and 169 targets commit signatory nations to facilitating migration, eliminating inequality, achieving net zero and embedding inclusive institutions. No British parliament voted on it. No British public was consulted. It was adopted at a UN summit and has been implemented ever since through regulatory frameworks, public sector guidance and institutional capture rather than democratic mandate. It is not a conspiracy. It is a publicly available document on the UN website. And its priorities, net zero, welfare, migration, DEI, are precisely the budgets this government has protected while offering the defence of the realm an accounting trick.
Ed Miliband refused to cut his net zero budget to fund defence. The Labour Party refused to cut welfare spending that would have freed up billions. The £10 billion in asylum accommodation contracts continues. The DEI infrastructure embedded across British policing, the NHS, the civil service and the education system continues to be funded. Every one of these is a commitment that takes precedence over the defence of the realm in this government's spending decisions.
The hierarchy of priorities is now visible. A government that has spent two years embedding progressive transformation across British institutions, protecting the net zero agenda from cuts and managing mass migration has discovered that it cannot simultaneously do all of that and defend the country. When the moment of decision arrived the progressive agenda was protected and the armed forces were handed a two page summary and told to make do.
Lord Robertson, the former Labour Defence Secretary and NATO Secretary General, warned in April that Britain was underprepared, underinsured and under attack. He said there was a corrosive complacency in Britain's political leadership. The army has been reduced to its smallest size in 200 years. Seven warships have been axed. The Defence Investment Plan was due last autumn, delayed through winter, missed its spring deadline and has now produced the resignation of the Defence Secretary on the day it was finally meant to be published.
Healey's letter says without a plan that meets the moment he is being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our forces, increase the risk to personnel on operations and could make the country less safe. He had no other option but to resign.
In the most dangerous security environment since the Cold War a Labour government has chosen the globalist agenda over the defence of the realm. That choice has now cost it its Defence Secretary. The question is what it will cost the country.

We're in the weirdest job market of all time.
From 2020 to mid 2022, companies were hiring at a pace that made no sense.
Some teams grew 50%, some doubled. Everyone was afraid of missing out on talent, so they just kept adding headcount. If you could spell the word "javascript" you could land a remote role and a 25% raise.
Then the second half of 2022 hit and the hangover started. Layoff after layoff. Each wave was supposed to be "the last one."
Now in 2026 there are already over 130,000 tech layoffs and we still have another 6 months to go in the year.
The twist this time is AI.
Companies aren't just saying they overhired anymore.
They're saying AI is making them leaner. That they can do more with fewer people. It's become the convenient new reason that sounds strategic while making their stock pop.
But here's where it gets absurd.
More and more companies are admitting the AI math isn't working out. They can't find the ROI they promised their boards. The computing costs are massive. It's more expensive than they thought, not less.
So let me get this straight.
We're in a job market where companies fired their workforce to buy something they now say is too expensive and doesn't work as advertised.
And the executives responsible for those decisions? They're still collecting their bonuses.
Weirdest job market of all time.

A man invented a $2.5 MILLION crime spree, sold it to Hollywood and charged $30,000 per speech to explain how he did it. It was all lies.
> Frank Abagnale claimed he spent 5 years as a teenage fugitive.
> Impersonating a Pan Am pilot, a Harvard trained doctor and a Louisiana attorney general while forging $2.5 MILLION in bad checks across 26 countries.
> Steven Spielberg turned it into a 2002 blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
> It became one of the highest grossing films of that year.
> Broadway turned it into a musical.
> The FBI hired him as a consultant.
> AARP named him their official Fraud Watch Ambassador.
> He charged between $20,000 and $30,000 per speaking engagement for decades telling audiences how he pulled it all off.
> For 40 years nobody seriously questioned any of it.
> Then in 2020 a journalist named Alan Logan spent three years pulling every public record prison document newspaper archive and court file he could find.
> Pan Am's own security department told a journalist as early as 1978 "This never happened. You don't forget $2.5 MILLION in bad checks."
> Prison records showed Abagnale was behind bars for most of the years he claimed to be a fugitive.
> The Georgia hospital had no record of him.
> The Louisiana attorney general's office had no record of him.
> His only confirmed crime was check fraud totalling less than $1,500.
> Logan's conclusion the entire story was not embellished but fabricated.
> Abagnale had not committed the con by impersonating pilots and doctors.
> He committed it by convincing Hollywood, the FBI and the entire world that he had.
The most valuable skill Frank Abagnale ever had was the ability to make people so entertained by a story that they forgot to verify it. That skill made him MILLIONS legally.

This is wild! Scientists used liposuction to suck out ordinary white fat cells...then used CRISPR to turn into “beige” fat cells, which voraciously consume calories to make heat.
Then, they implanted them near tumors the way plastic surgeons inject fat from one part of the body to plump up another.
The fat cells scarfed up all the nutrients, starving most of the tumor cells to death.
These cells wiped out breast, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancers by depleting shared resources.
They even used patient fat from mastectomies to target their own breast cancer.
Why Fat?: Easy to harvest (liposuction), edit, and reimplant safely – biocompatible, no migration risks.

If Gerrard really was concerned about things like Thelwell & Stewart, & these yanks really did recognise that they both fucked up big time over RM & many other issues, maybe these yanks would ditch them to get Gerrard

So here’s how the racket really works. We were told this week that one taxi company alone is pocketing £350,000 every single month, shuttling migrants six thousand times to doctors, dentists, the Home Office and accommodation. People think migrants are calling cabs themselves, paying like you and me. They’re not. The money flows like this: taxpayers pay the Home Office, the Home Office pays the giants – Serco, Mears, Clearsprings – and those giants farm the work out to private contractors. And right there is where the feeding frenzy begins.
Clearsprings: Owned and controlled by Graham Ian King, a man who’s climbed into the rich list on the back of asylum housing, pocketing more than £180 million profit in just three years, with dividends pushing him towards billionaire status. MPs have already demanded answers about offshore consultancy fees pouring out to a UAE shell he’s linked to, money flowing round in circles. His group holds billion-pound contracts covering Wales and the South, and it is Clearsprings Ready Homes that decides who gets the lucrative transport subcontracting.
This particular saga has been ousted by PTS-247 Ltd. Registered at a Crawley office, its directors are Ashok Puri and Manju Puri, both appointed in 2019. These are Indian Punjabi names, and the firm’s filings list “taxi operations” as the core business. This is the outfit raking in that £350,000 a month for six thousand journeys – which works out at nearly £60 a trip, regardless of whether it’s a five-minute hop to a GP surgery or a longer haul. That’s far above a standard taxi fare, let alone what pooled buses or NHS patient transport could do. Yet nobody checks, nobody questions, and nobody reins it in.
And it isn’t just them. These contracts are written so one firm in each region gets the golden ticket.
Councils aren’t involved. The invoices aren’t compared to normal metered fares. They’re billed as “special transport” at inflated rates and waved through. And because the contracts are multi-layered – Home Office → Serco/Mears/Clearsprings → PTS-247 or whichever local firm – the paper trail blurs just enough to hide who is really creaming off the profit.
Taxis are the new Turkish barbers.
It is an extortion racket run in daylight. The men at the top – King at Clearsprings, the Puris at PTS-247 – are making fortunes from public money while the system beneath us collapses.
Follow the money. Pull the company filings. Trace the names.
Same old British piss take.
