What do the immigration figures for the UK really show? Official figures indicate net migration is falling, yet concern among Britons is close to the highest it has been since polling began in 1974

despite media focus on small boats and asylum seekers, these only make up a tiny % of those coming to the UK – less than 5% www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is.

The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧡

All of us.... every single last one of us... are descended from immigrants. And without it, this country would just be a bunch of uninhabited islands on the edge of the world. Everything that built this country... and everything it is... springs from that. And we should embrace it, not decry it.

Why can’t the right questions about proportional representation be asked? Politics Home noted this yesterday: As the political landscape in the UK becomes more fractured, some politicians are already worrying about the chaos it could unleash at the next general election. ​...

We need proportional representation, and we need it now. So, why isn't it being discussed?

Overnight the UK bombed Yemen

In 2020 Starmer said blindly following the Americans was the wrong thing to do & he promised to pass legislation that said military action could be taken if you got the consent of the Commons.

Did you get that consent Keir?

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

Musk is attacking UK democracy, and we need a proper response.

So let’s get this petition going viral, and force a grownup course of action at the highest level.

2018: Richard Tice, "George Soros doesn't live here, he doesn't pay taxes here, what right has he got to interfere with our democracy with donations?"

2024: Richard Tice, "If Elon Musk can legally donate and he feels that's the appropriate thing to do, we'd be delighted"

β€œHow will an ambulance get through?”

A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.

Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.

Nigel farage in barbour jacket at farmers protest

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.

I hadn't really spent a lot of time here after I joined a few months back. Looks like I'll be checking in much more often from now on.
