🌞 | 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 & pass it on.

🚨 | Keir Starmer tonight: “What I will say is she's done an excellent job as Chancellor.” 📉 Rachel Reeves’ so-called “excellent job”, has seen payroll employment down by 277,000 May saw the steepest collapse since lockdown 💸 Her Jobs Tax is costing jobs Starmer is deluded

📺| 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.

🚨 | UK Government Business Minister - 'Interest rates increased across the world, mostly to do with Covid' ❌ Talking nonsense. 1️⃣ Bank of England printing money during lockdown started inflation. 2️⃣ They reacted to their mistake increasing interest rates. 3️⃣ She is stupid by genuinely believing Covid increased interest rates, or wants to continue to peddle the lie that poor mismanagement of the economy is the driver. To think this is the competence was have as an actual Government minister in charge of business. What a shambles.

🚨 Starmer says Brexit made Britain poorer. But the GDP data tells a more awkward story. Since the Brexit vote: UK real GDP: +12.1% Germany real GDP: +6.0% Britain is not booming. Nobody serious should pretend it is. But Europe’s supposed economic engine has grown at barely half the UK’s rate. So why is Starmer’s big answer still more Europe? This wasn’t a reset. It was a relapse: more Brexit blame, more Brussels, more excuses. No wonder voters are walking away from Labour.

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.

🚨 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 & 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

🚨 | 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.

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.

🚨 | Keir Starmer - ‘Welsh Labour is the living proof of what Labour looks like in power. A blueprint for what Labour can do across the United Kingdom 🔸 NHS waiting lists worse than England 🔸 Educational outcomes worse than England 🔸 20mph speed limits - slowing the economy 🚂 Welsh Government took over the running of the railways - it operates Transport for Wales which has the worst customer satisfaction for train operators in the UK. ✈️ Welsh Government took over the running of Cardiff Airport. Despite relatively few flights, it was named among one of the worst for flight delays and the airport is now valued at around £15m - a third of what the Welsh Government paid. 💷 Analysis shows that the Welsh NHS may overspend by £800m by next spring and all health boards have been placed under higher levels of financial scrutiny. 🔐 During the pandemic, the blueprint for Welsh Labour lockdowns included telling shops to close certain aisles so customers visiting would feel safe. 🗳️ The Welsh Government now wants to increase the number of politicians in the Senedd by 60% despite a lack of public support. This is estimated to cost each year more than the free school meals the Government said they could no longer afford to provide to vulnerable children.

🚨 | Devastating floods across the county I live in Rhondda Cynon Taf 😒 🌲 Chopping down thousands of hectares of trees, often to make way for wind farms exacerbates the flooding issue. ➡️ Fewer trees - water runs off mountain faster - causing rivers to overflow. 🤡 You won’t hear any politician mentioning this though. 🌊 In addition trees hold soil in place, so without them more erosion, which clogs up waterways. ❤️ Thoughts to all the families affected yet again by the flooding.

🚨 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.

🚨 Starmer at PMQs: “Energy bills are coming down £117.” At the Budget they promised £150. Meanwhile, a typical worker is paying ~£888 more in Income Tax + NI as thresholds stay frozen. £117 off - £888 taken. That’s almost 8× more back to the Treasury. Gaslighting? 🤔

🚨 Sky News misleading the public on Farage’s crime rate claim They told readers Afghans are 3× more likely than UK-born to be convicted of sexual offences — not 22× as Nigel Farage said. But they made a basic statistical blunder: The crime data is by nationality. Their population data was by country of birth. That’s an apples and pears comparison. It inflates the denominator and slashes the rate — making foreign nationals look far less likely to offend. Using the correct like-for-like measure (nationality vs nationality) puts the figure at 22× than Sky’s 3×. 📊 I break it down in my new Substack 🔗 💬 Plus my TalkTV chat with Mike Graham 🇬🇧 Nigel Farage MP
