    This lady is living in her own Wonderland and dreams she's playing the rôle of Alice and can magic away the self-inflicted barriers and the huge swathe of official forms and declarations thrown up by Brexit.Charm goes a long way but she forgets she is dealing with hard headed business people, not kiddies in diapers.

    The five 'principles' she's dreamed up are laudable but hollow: the myriad problems of Brexit aren't going to disappear of their own accord. We've left the club Ms Badenoch and there's only one way back in. We've abandoned the world's third biggest trade body right on our doorstep and it can't be replaced by wishful thinking, even in the cloud cuckoo land you inhabit. We are now ranked as a 'Third Country' and you are kidding yourself if you think there's an alternative to going cap in hand to our former partners if we want to trade with them. Brexit has hobbled the country.

    Her recent self-trumpeted 'momentous trade deal' with Italy is a in fact a momentous con. Ms Badenoch claims she will swing deals with Italy but she conveniently forgets (if she knew it in the first place) that EU rules prevent her doing external trade deals with individual member states. That's why it's called the EU. She's not being straight with us.

    Shimmy up Mr Sunak's rope if you like but don't be surprised when you find there's nothing holding it up.

    No amount of platitudes, hand-gestures and smooth talking will get you there Ms Badenoch: fine words butter no parsnips.

    What a shame this sweet but inexperienced lady will have to come to her senses. She'll just have to find better advisers, get real and learn "Realpolitik" the hard way.

    It is morally wrong to raise people's hopes with your empty idealogies and undeliverable promises, Ms Badenoch, only to dash them again when your house of cards collapses.

    Now that some departments have disappeared it is timely to reduced the number of civil servants, starting with the 91000 that Boris Johnson pledged to get rid off when he was still PM: the permanent secretaries of the Home Office and Border Forces should be the first to be sacked to ensure that the Home Secretary does her job without unnecessary interference from them.

    Interesting why people who have 'roots' from elsewhere can value (and constructively critique) the UK and aspire to improve it. A large slab of the UK (and other lucky countries) seem intent on self- immolation.?

    At what point did the Conservative Party adopt net zero as their agenda because it wasn't there in the last election and NO ONE voted for it.

    The next departmental restructure and ministerial reshuffle could have Theresa Coffey as Minister for Department of Industry, Energy, Technology and Science.

    Where are the new homes going to be built? On desperately needed agricultural land (we have too low food security as it is), or uninsurable houses on a river flood plane in a time of global warming?

    Absolutely robbed re: leadership role, in the last Tory-spill.

    *Also, full credit to Kemi B for knowing what a woman is (and isn't… eg 🍆+👗) and, more to the point, for having the spine to say so, and not pretend otherwise.

    Lol could it get any worse she's another Neo Liberal WEF globalist. Well good luck with that one because both politically and financially the UK is screwed. Watch Peter Shiffe on the Duran, Professor Richard Wolff for the real financial disaster coming our way, The corrupt Global central banking system is on a cliff edge, has been for decades, and worse since the Bank heist of 2008 followed by Endless worthless money printing or as they like to quantative easing is now unsustainable.

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

on

By



Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
