So 12% of adults provide a whopping 71% of the income tax revenue??? That’s insane, and really puts into perspective the grim reality of skint and underpaid Britain.

It is terrifying how many people have absolutely zero understanding of where jobs and prosperity come from. If you work for a private company you only have a salary, a way to pay for your life, because someone took a risk to start it. That’s an irrefutable fact. So why do so many people hate the people who create these jobs, to the point they want them destroyed?

Lily Whitehouse was a 19 year old girl. She was murdered 3 nights ago by 41 year old Mohammed Azim. Another young English girl dead, another family forever devastated. All because our leaders are too afraid to call for remigration. They all have to go. Every single one.

A £2k salary sacrifice limit will discourage people from making necessary provisions for their pension. But pension funds don’t sit idle; they’re invested to create jobs and growth. Less money in pensions = less investment and less growth. The gov. is economically illiterate.

Since 2016, 1,367,942 foreign drivers have been issued a driving licence without taking a UK test - stats I've extracted from the Department for Transport. Madness. Many foreign drivers simply do not understand our road system. I am pushing for a significant tightening.

Tonight's protests in Birmingham have nothing to do with Palestine or Israel. That’s a smokescreen. It is a power play by glory-seeking extremists to demonstrate how they can manipulate and control the local authorities and intimidate the people. It’s not a protest, it’s a flex.

What I’ve seen in these conversations isn’t that the abled see disability as a social failing, but that some disabled people show huge resentment toward the healthy and working. The reason for their resentment is simple: dependence is humiliating, and gratitude feels like submission to a place in a social hierarchy no one chooses. It’s easier to lash out online than to confront reliance in everyday life. The welfare state is flawed but it keeps people alive and independent. Paradoxically, it also reinforces hierarchy, those who receive versus those who fund, and some are more dependent than others. That tension breeds bitterness because it’s human nature. The problem the disabled have isn’t with the taxpayer or the abled; it’s with reality itself. Through no fault of their own, some people have been dealt a hard hand, and no system, however generous, can make that feel fair. But fairness cuts both ways. The welfare state only works if it remains sustainable and trusted, and right now, it’s being abused. The balance between support and responsibility has slipped, and restoring the balance is essential.
For some reason a lot of abled people seem to think that being disabled is some societal failing and that they're vastly superior to us. This seems to be why they get their knickers in such a twist about us having anything nice or enjoying life.

My son has just spent a couple of hours on reception as part of his new job. When I asked how it went his response was ‘there are some proper knobheads’. Yes son, yes there are 😂

Why the UK is financially broken, in a few simple numbers👇 We now pay £212 billion per year on on 'illness-related inactivity'. This is about 70 % of the ENTIRE INCOME TAX TAKE of the government. So 70p of every pound you pay in tax goes not to nurses, teachers, doctors, schools, or to fixing potholes… but towards paying this bill. Towards paying people not to work. It gets worse. On top of this, the government will spend £111.2 billion this year just on servicing our national debt. On interest payments, not reducing the principal owed. What does this mean? That every single penny you have to pay in income tax is spent either on enabling people not to work, or on paying interest. Not one single penny you pay goes on the things you might expect to pay tax for – on the police, on schooling, on healthcare, education, or defence. And remember, this is with the highest tax burden since the Second World War. The system is running on fumes. Something has to give.
Quite a moment. The Mayfield review has calculated the lifetime cost of writing people off as long-term sick; it’s £1m in lost earnings for 22yo “with the state incurring a similar cost”.

The UK economy is wankered (technical term) and Keynesian economics like 50% tax will make it worse! ▪️Aging population + shrinking workforce. ▪️Massive taxation (top rate 50% ▪️Heavy climate & energy regulation ▪️raising business costs. ▪️AI and net-zero industries mostly automated → few new jobs. So this means. Fewer workers, less spending, stagnant or shrinking tax receipts, a vicious cycle of unemployment and declining growth. We are taxing and regulating ourselves into oblivion, with no sectors capable of real growth.

🚨 Over 27,000 crimes have been committed in Tower Hamlets in just 9 months. Only 3,200 were solved. Yet those in charge still try to gaslight us into believing our streets are safe. Here’s the truth, if you commit a crime in Tower Hamlets, there’s an almost 9 in 10 chance you’ll get away with it. That’s not justice. That’s lawlessness.
