🌞 | BBC News tonight — the fear factory in full swing: “46.6°C is now possible in the UK.” What they didn’t say? That number came from a simulation model It’s a 1-in-2,500 year event — maybe by the year 4525 🤡 ❌️ Not a forecast. Just climate panic with zero context.

🚨 BBC misinformation — viewers were told the flu jab “crucially helps prevent children passing the virus to vulnerable people”. ⚠️ This is misleading. The flu vaccine does not guarantee prevention of transmission. Vaccinated children can, and do, catch the flu &amp; pass it on.

🚨 | Welsh Labour minister discussing 20mph policy - ‘Unless we start to shift the way we do transport, our economy is going to get trashed by climate change’ 🤡 This is what the public are up against, politicians who think going 20mph &amp; not 30mph is linked to the climate.

📺| Starmer - "When it comes to the asylum hotels, I want them emptied" Yet last week, his govt fought in court to stop the Bell Hotel closing. You can’t promise control while keeping the hotels running. That’s not leadership — it’s hypocrisy. Public want actions not words.

💧 | ‘Rainfall totals continue to tot up, there are quite a few places that are now seeing 1.5 times the March average rainfall’ 💥 UK has not built a new reservoir for 30 years, while population risen by 10 million people. 💦 Remember this when a water shortage this summer.

🚨 | Sunak - ‘The number 1 factor that is impacting peoples living standards, inflation, caused by high energy prices as a result of a war in Ukraine’ ❌ 3/4 of energy price rise happened before the war 💥 Higher taxes/interest rates harm living standards - thats his/BoE fault

📺 | Sunak - 'The Bank of England are controlling inflation by raising interest rates' 🔶 Bank of England started inflation printing money 🔶 World lockdowns closed down supply chains 🔶 Decades of no energy security policy led to high prices ❌ He won't give the real facts

🚨 | Sunak - ‘Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine saw all our energy prices rocket’ ❌ He omits to say three-quarters of the gas price increases that feeds into all energy happened before the invasion of Ukraine 💥 It is a regular occurrence now with Sunak misleading the public

🚨 | Margaret Thatcher - ‘The state has no source of money other than the money that people earn themselves. There is no such thing as public money there is only taxpayers money’ 💥 Rachel Reeves didn't get this memo in her studies. Robbing the public blind through taxation.

🚨 The Government has wheeled out Darren Jones to promote Digital ID. But this guy LIED on Question Time — claiming most small boat arrivals were women &amp; children. ❌ Latest data for 2025: 79% are adult men 82% are under 18-39 If he’ll lie on TV, why trust him on Digital ID?

Are the BBC “promoting the far right” by showing British flags at the Last Night of the Proms 🇬🇧? Or is it simply the far left who are embarrassed by Britain? Oh and singer has union jack dress. The majority and centre are proud of our country? #lastnightoftheproms

Welsh Liberal Democrats Leader speaking here has no idea on anything - and no idea what the Welsh Budget is. She is the individual that got Greyhound Racing banned in Wales. Also failed to turn up for key votes. The definition of stealing a living.

🚨 | Lisa Nandy tries to justify Labour’s Digital ID scheme — she couldn’t. Starmer is trying to deflect from his failures as Prime Minister ahead of conference. ❌ Digital ID won’t stop illegal working or the boats He’s simply trying to resurrect a failed Tony Blair idea.

Why should the rich pay a higher rate of income tax? The top 1% already pay around 27% of the UK's income tax bill. What if everyone paid a flat 25% instead? Earn £100k, pay £25k. Earn £1m, pay £250k. Same rate, more tax paid. I discussed it with Mike Graham 🇬🇧 . What do you think?

🚨 | Police out in force in Wales zapping cars going faster than 20mph. 💷 £31m of taxpayers money being spent on changing road signs ahead of the national change to 20mph on many roads next month. 🚒 Firefighters going to show educational videos to drivers apparently.

🚨 Labour’s Transport Secretary doesn’t even own an electric car… 💸 But she wants your taxes to fund chargers and subsidies for those who do. 🚗 Many working families can’t afford an EV — yet they’re expected to pay for others to have one? ❌ Out of touch. Typical Labour.

Remember 2021 when the Tories literally blew up our energy security? 💥🧨 We used to have coal as a guaranteed emergency backup for when the wind didn't blow. Now, in 2026, we’re forced to beg for expensive gas imports or pray for wind. Utter lunacy.

🌍 BBC: “This summer takes us more closer to a dangerous world — because of climate change.” 🌡️ Temperatures above average - but the average is based on limited historical data. ☀️ For most, it was simply a sunny summer. Dangerous world? Or just sunshine being sold as crisis?

🚨 BBC misinformation — viewers were told the flu jab “crucially helps prevent children passing the virus to vulnerable people”. ⚠️ This is misleading. The flu vaccine does not guarantee prevention of transmission. Vaccinated children can, and do, catch the flu & pass it on.
