It’s not 11-year-old boys who are committing violence against women and girls.

We need to get people who have come from cultures that don’t respect women out of our country! Not all cultures are equally valid.

Labour’s plan to lecture schoolboys to respect women and girls is a complete distraction. This is what a government looks like when they’re completely out of ideas.

Deport all foreign criminals. Put more police on our streets. Conservatives have a funded plan to recruit 10,000 extra officers.

Pretending a few extra lessons in school will fix this is complete nonsense. Labour need to stop watching Adolesence and get real.

But they can’t, because they’re too scared, weak and divided. They have no serious plan to tackle this problem.

Only the @Conservatives do and that’s why we’ll build a stronger Britain.

Has she ever seen Andrew Tate?? Knows who he is and where he comes from? And why he's in a Romanian jail?

Auditors raise red flags at public body run by Ben Houchen

Auditors have identified a catalogue of financial reporting errors at the public body run by England’s only Conservative metro mayor, the latest setback to Lord Ben Houchen and his Tees Valley Combined Authority.

EY confirmed that it would be unable to sign off on the 2024-25 accounts at TVCA as a result, saying the errors included “material misstatements” that were evident simply from reading the document.

7 of the 9 councils which requested a delay (East Sussex, Essex, Norfolk, Hampshire, Suffolk, Thurrock and Surrey) are run by the Conservatives.

Britain is run by a left wing authoritarian government.
Labour has cancelled our local elections.

They want to police our lives, impose digital ID, take away our right to vote and destroy our democratic freedoms.
Our elections must go ahead
 
Labour are punishing Durham because they voted for Crafty

Labour’s “funding settlement” for Durham is a punishment beating for Reform-voting councils: they will always choose metropolitan cities over deprived counties. The “party of the working class” has chosen Kensington over Kelloe.

They’ve traded the pit villages for the penthouse. This £170m “boost” is a total work of fiction—a cynical re-badging of old money and a green light for the Council to fleece you by the maximum 5% tax hike every single year.

While Labour’s pet cities get their budgets bankrolled, Durham is left with a £17m-a-year crumb that doesn’t even touch the £20m surge in children’s care costs. It’s not an investment; it’s a managed decline of the North to subsidise the lefty London consensus

Article's behind a paywall. I don't dispute that he's wanted in multiple countries, but in February 2025 the Trump administration pressured Romania into allowing them both to travel to the United States where no charges have been brought against them and there seems to have been interference from within the administration on their behalf, for example forcing the release of electronic devices that were seized as evidence.

I don't know where they are are now, US, Romania, elsewhere..

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Have the auditors been reading Private Eye, especially Richard Brooks recent special report?
 
Reform on misogyny

Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧
@TiceRichard
Labour hate British boys
Only Reform will save Britain

Lee Anderson MP
@LeeAndersonMP_
Blame British Boys.
So part of the Violence Against Women & Boys strategy is to blame British boys.

Yet they refuse to say the thousands of illegally imported young men from backward cultures, many of whom go on to attack our British women and girls should be detained and deported.

They voted against a national inquiry into rape gangs.
For decades Labour controlled areas turned a blind eye on the rape of white working class girls by Pakistani heritage grooming gangs.

And now this

Schoolboys aged just 11 will be sent on "anti-misogyny training courses" as part of a new Labour scheme to "protect women and girls".

Labour are disgusting
 
What a surprise

Reform-run Kent council has been accused of trying to block scrutiny after it refused, for more than five months, to produce evidence that it had saved more than £40m by cancelling two environmental projects that did not exist yet.

Polly Billington, a Labour MP in Kent, first requested background to the claim via a freedom of information (FoI) request in July. She said the subsequent delay had not been explained and seemed to show the council was embarrassed at what the documents would show.
