📺 | “Reeves and Starmer promised growth — and we have had some. 1️⃣ An increase in job losses 2️⃣ An increase in debt 3️⃣ An increase in inflation 4️⃣ And an increase in small boat migrants. But I don’t think that’s the growth the public were hoping for.” 💬 Chat with @Iromg ⸻…
🚨 | Welsh Labour’s First Minister Eluned Morgan is losing her third top adviser in under a year. Sir Wayne David is stepping down — after being paid over £100,000 a year… to advise her how to do her job. The cost of politics is obscene. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
💣| New: UK debt spirals under the UK Government 📉 June borrowing: £20.7bn — second-highest on record 📊 Total debt: £2.87 TRILLION = £58,000 per person (excluding children) Rachel Reeves says “stability” — but the debt keeps climbing The debt mountain continues to grow

🛑 NEW: Daily Mirror reporting the next pandemic could come from Mars 🌌 Apparently, astronauts might die “live on air” from alien germs. This isn’t science — it’s science fiction. Fear porn dressed up as a headline. The real virus? Sensationalism 😂😂

📺 | Thames Water - 'All they need to do is get that water, treat it, and get it into people’s homes' Now? Hosepipe bans & huge bills. 💸 Private owners took the profits and now charge you to pay the debt. 📉 No new reservoir in 30 years — despite massive population growth.…
👇 The Labour Party claims Nigel Farage would “cost nearly one million jobs” with a war on clean energy. FACT CHECK 🔋 Latest official data shows just 71,000 jobs in the renewable energy sector. ❌ The claim isn’t just wrong — it’s wildly misleading.
🚨 Reform's war on homegrown, clean energy would cost almost a million jobs across the UK and leave you paying higher energy bills.🚨
🚫 Another week, another hosepipe ban. 💧 1 million in Hampshire & Isle of Wight can’t water the garden or wash the car — or face a fine. 📉 No reservoirs - population up 💷 Bills up 📈 Chaos rising. Southern Water’s losing millions — and still can’t deliver. Broken Britain.

📄 The Home Office annual report is out — they aim to deliver a secure border. The reality: 🚨 22,902 small boat arrivals in 2025 — up 55% 🚨 46,144 since Starmer became PM 🚨 Dangerous individuals let in — women and children harmed Let’s be fair: this is a total failure.
🧠 Remember: when a politician says something is “free” — it’s not. You pay for it through taxes, debt & rising bills. Examples of 'free' stuff 🏠 Housing for migrants ⚡ EV subsidies ☀️ Solar panels 🥪 School meals Nothing is free. It’s your money
🤔 Could YOU name 22 family members you'd bring if you had to flee? 🇦🇫 One Afghan migrant did – even though many were rejected for asylum. 📉 A Home Office data breach let them in anyway. 🔒 Is Britain’s security and immigration system being taken for a ride? Image courtesy…
🚨 Labour borrowed £55 BILLION more in 8 months than the OBR forecast before they took office. 🐄 Their farming tax? Might raise £500m a year. 110 years of farming tax to cover 8 months of extra borrowing. 💸 Reeves economics is trashing UK PLC. Chat with @Iromg…
