‼️I spent the day in Leeds, in the area where the riots kicked off. The absolute state of our country ☢️ ⚠️ 😢
Totes ok. The more the merrier 🤛
Farage is talking about sending British citizens to Salvadoran hellholes. You OK with that? I’m not.
Today's Tory reshuffle is the final curtain on the Conservative Party as a centre-right force in British politics.
YES!! I can 100% back up everything you’ve said in this article, I’ve been to the same places recently too!
🛑 NEW: ALARMING evidence that some Channel migrants may now be paying NOTHING to get on boats.… telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
Isabel Oakeshott says French police are increasingly embarrassed by media footage in the UK press of them standing around doing very little. @TVKev | @IsabelOakeshott
Isabel Oakeshott says the government has to go back to examining the types of people that are coming into the country. "It's quite obvious the majority of them are economic opportunists, or worse, are professional criminals." @Iromg | @IsabelOakeshott
Has this man brought your energy bills down by £300 as promised at the election?
The economy is tanking. Trust in both Labour and the so-called Opposition is at rock bottom. Thousands of illegal migrants continue to pour in every week. I genuinely don’t see how this can go on for another FOUR years. What to do??
"For a fraction of £7bn, we could have persuaded neighbouring countries to take some of those applicants for us." Isabel Oakeshott questions how many people in Afghanistan really needed to come back to the UK. @TVKev | @IsabelOakeshott
🛑 THE Afghan immigration scandal is surely the end for the Conservative Party. The £7 BILLION LIE was CONTINUED by the Labour Party. NEITHER is fit for office.
My response to the Afghan asylum scandal.
GREAT NEWS HSBC becomes first UK bank to quit banking industry’s net stupid zero alliance Hope this is first brick in wall theguardian.com/business/2025/…
Don’t be deceived by the lovely Cotswolds -the UK is in terrifying decline …. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…
🛑 Instead of rolling out the red carpet for Macron, we should have turned him back at the border. Show the French how it’s done…
✍️ 'We’ve stuffed his mouth with gold, he’s royally screwed us on small boats – the French president wasn’t worthy of the King’s red carpet' | Writes @IsabelOakeshott Read the full column below 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/0…
Starmer claims he’s smashing the gangs. So today I asked: how many criminals have been prosecuted for facilitating small boats? Labour’s Justice Secretary doesn’t know 🤯
🛑 Latest benefits scam: get your kid diagnosed as “ADHD” then say you need PIP because ADHD can be hereditary so you must have it too 🙄🙄
🚨REVEALED: Parents now claiming benefits on the basis that ADHD is hereditary- if their child’s diagnosed, ‘they want payouts too’. “Why is the government handing out money for ADHD? Seriously - why?” @TVKev | @IsabelOakeshott

South Cambs needs DOGE
South Cambridgeshire Council employees will now only work 4 days a week. Their salaries paid largely by those working 5 days a week. The Lib Dem run council said a trial found “services remained stable”. I bet moving half the staff to 0 days a week would deliver the same.
