Brilliant letter, please share with anyone moaning about the hotels

Thanks to so many of you for picking up the baton. Once again, you have shown that voters are not voiceless between elections, provided we organise and focus. Now, keep it going! We have until Friday. www.bestforbritain.org/petition-elo...

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

America, what the Hell have you done? 🤬

Nigel Farage is right about London. I was there yesterday and there was a gang of men armed with sticks, waving them about, while a huge crowd cheered them on.

Traditionally, he'd use a cricket bat.

1 in 3 doctors were born overseas. 1 in 2 builders were born overseas. 1 in 6 nurses were born overseas. 1 in 4 transport workers were born overseas. 1 in 7 UK business founders were born overseas. 1 in 5 university academics were born overseas. The UK would be screwed without them.

'Hold my beer' said: Liam Fox “easiest in human history” David Davis..no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.. Jacob Rees-Mogg Fish “better and happier” because they are “now British” Raab "hadn't quite understood" how reliant UK trade in goods is on the Dover-Calais crossing

Severn Trent CEO paid £3.2m despite rise in sewage dumping, bonus up 42%. £29m pay packet since 2014. Loses 400m litres water a day to leaks. At least 62 criminal convictions since privatisation. Borrows money to pay dividends. People fleeced, bosses rewarded. archive.ph/t389a

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

#samfender #newcastle Tremendous gig. Atmosphere like a football match when you are guaranteed to win 5-0 and have been drinking all day.

Remarkable reporting here, can't imagine how many sources they must have to get to a place to publish this stuff: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

For context....

Boys From The Black Stuff at Theatre Royal Newcastle. Stunning. The story well told, the Yosser truly monumental theatre. A brilliant production.

Stunning building #manchester #johnrylandslibrary

#springsteen opened with No Surrender, perhaps a riposte to the Orange Hooligan.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Black smoke means they left the old pope on a high heat for too long right?

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Night out in Hebden Bridge.

Stupendous night in #Burnley

Magnificent day on Ingleborough #yorkshiredales

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

#Corbridge evening. #Northumberland

A happy weekend for my Geordie friends. #NUFC #Wembley

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1927...

I’m not very convinced, to be honest.

It’s borderline criminal.

#northumberland #druridge Crowds avoiding this place in their droves.

whoever is doing this poster campaign in London well bloody done 🙌

London

Claude Malhuret (member of French Senate) on Trump. 🔥 "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civics service.” “We were at war with a dictator, we are now fighting a dictator backed by a traitor.”

Atlanticists are facing a ruinous refutation of their position: The attempted humiliation of Zelenskyy, JD Vance's dismissal of the British war dead. The emotional quality of the conversation makes it almost impossible to maintain a pro-American position iandunt.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o...

Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, putting them on a fast-track to deportation. Reversal of the welcome received under President Biden's administration. Trump respects no law, treaty, humanitarian policy. He can't be trusted. archive.ph/pkmf3

OBR publishes supplementarly analysis of fiscal impact of migration. Confirms earlier analysis : - the "average migrant" [in their data] earns slightly *more* than the UK average - the "average migrant" makes a more +ve fiscal contribution than average resident obr.uk/docs/dlm_upl...

I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering quite how far up his neck is Trump to the Russian State (a long way up) and how much is to do with money and kompromat and how much because he just shares Putin’s mindset. And for how long. And what secrets he has shared.

Leaving #Austria. ⛷️🍻

United Utilities dumped raw sewage for 6,327 hours last year in Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. It has over 205 criminal convictions. Boosts profits, dividends, exec pay by sewage dumping. Allowed to hike prices by 32%. Nationalise. Prosecute directors. archive.ph/23xXb

I wonder what Trump and Vance will say to #PresidentMusk when they read this from Grok .. 😂😂😂
