Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

In Budget week, I am afraid we have to talk about Brexit. A new report from economists at the BoE, Kings College and others puts the hit to our economy at 6 to 8% of of UK GDP. That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue. That's why we have to go further and faster on the UK/EU reset.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We honour trans and non-binary lives lost to violence. We stand in solidarity with trans and non-binary people everywhere. Your lives matter, your voices matter, and your stories matter.

A video claims the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine contains “cancer-causing SV40”. This isn’t correct. The vaccine doesn’t contain the SV40 monkey virus, which can induce cancer in animals. It uses a fragment of SV40’s DNA sequence, which doesn’t cause cancer.

I’m often critical of the royals, but I do think it’s great that the Princess of Wales is keeping up a trade alongside her royal duties and her role as a mother.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

It seems to be time to post this again:

My experience, for what it’s worth.

I have called every radio station in this godforsaken country to play my favourite Spooky Season song and they refuse. Put @bigdirtyfry.bsky.social on the airwaves you cowards youtu.be/HR74FsiTvbM?...

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Every time you use stupid ChatGPT, a thing that I once saw get a long multiplication sum wrong, it uses ten times as much electricity as searching the same thing on Google and the server cooling systems mean each use consumes half a litre of water.

Farage wants to remove those who have lived in this country for many years Decent people wouldn't do that Decent people don't vote Reform

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Saying ID cards will prevent illegal working is really putting a lot of faith in people already breaking the law not wanting to break the law.

You can go on TV and say the sky was made from recycled carrier bags by retired seamstresses in Portsmouth and if you are from a right wing think tank the news will report it as one side of a contested debate.

See me live on tour! I’m going to Leicester, Northampton, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Taunton, Southend-on-sea, Cambridge, Southampton, Leeds, Liverpool, Guildford and Brighton. www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

How do Keir Starmer and David Lammy sleep at night?

Labour have decided to put 800,000 disabled kids at risk. They receive DLA instead of adult PIP. But Labour's guarantee to protect PIP recipients only protects people on PIP now. So when the kids have to migrate to PIP, they'll face the new much harsher assessment regime. Many will lose out.

Great summary by Private Eye......

Disability Rights UK's Statement on the government’s planned benefits cuts “The Government is demonising and punishing Disabled people for the economic failures of successive governments. Why isn't it looking to the rich to plug its funding gap?”

1. Reading some of the comments beneath this week's column, I'm struck once again by how fiercely resistant many people are to understanding how our food is produced, how it reaches us and how the system works. This willed ignorance is lethal. Short🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I see Chris Philp is now repeating Matt Goodwin's deliberate lie. The correct figure is 17%, and most of those are long-standing residents (and in many cases will have British spouses/children).

Due to our huge wealth disparity, a modest wealth tax of 2% on assets over £10million would only affect 200,000 people, but would raise £24Billion a year. Mull on that for a second or two. taxjustice.uk/blog/six-wea...

36% of people aged 18-25 would vote for Labour if GE was called tomorrow according to Yougov. Just off to pitch a load of articles about how Sir Keir Starmer is catnip for a disillusioned Gen Zs because he’s keepin’ it real, bruv. Wish me luck.

The government is busy - but the work is not being reported. From banning toxic pesticides to funding green jobs, here are 20 things that happened last week.

As Wes Streeting trumpets the role of the private sector in “saving the NHS”, it’s worth remembering what happened the only time a whole NHS hospital was handed to the private sector to run. The care failings - gaining the worst CQC rating ever - were *chilling* (& barely reported at the time):

It's absurd that Starmer agreed to lock the vital announcement that he's willing to send British troops to Ukraine to bolster a peace deal behind the Telegraph's paywall. But since it is so important, here's a link that bypasses it so that you can read it for yourself. archive.ph/2025.02.16-2...

If Brexit had never happened… …we’d be much wealthier, with more investment in public services, better trade - and with our parliament & govt having spent the last decade doing far more productive things. 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺
