Britain needs a Prime Minister who does not give a damn what Brussels, the UN, the IMF or the left-wing media think. Close the borders. Deport illegal migrants. Cut welfare dependency. Put British interests first. Do it unapologetically. That is the leadership this country desperately needs.

Replying to @Suffragent_
I agree with him 100%. It’s tragic.
Parliament is infested with self interested grifters.

Piddington epitomises the problem. Here you have a quintessential English village, which you say will be ruined. It will cease to be. It won't be Piddington. It will be some kind of dystopian representation of North Africa or the Middle East or some Middle Eastern country in the heart of the British countryside, inhabited not by the best people coming from North Africa or the Middle East, but actually people who've broken into the country illegally. And this is what the government is failing to recognise. It doesn't have to be fair... in the way that it abuses the British people. What it has to do is stop the abuse of the British people in the first place. These illegal migrants shouldn't be allowed into the country full stop. And if anyone gets past border control, they should then be detained and deported, kept under lock and key until they go home. End of story. That's it.

Piddington is speaking. The problem is that Westminster doesn’t appear to be listening. This goes far beyond one Oxfordshire village. Across the country, communities are asking why enormous decisions about asylum accommodation are being made around them rather than with them.

This is the rot in British politics. Former Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald, who was sacked after just 14 months, walked away with an £860,000 payoff. Starmer forced that through against all "value for money warnings". Now he is a Lord receiving £390 a day. We funded his failure and now we are funding his future.

“FREE” ISN’T FREE. TAXPAYERS PAY.
A petition is calling for taxpayer-funded government services to be labelled as exactly that: taxpayer-funded, not “free.”
Its argument? Clearer language means greater transparency about what public services actually cost and who funds them.
Read the petition and decide whether you want to add your name. 🇬🇧

Asylum should be exceptional. It should protect genuine victims of political persecution.
It should NOT make Britain the repository for every person escaping a badly governed country.
We cannot and should not take responsibility for the failures of the entire world.
Ben Habib retweeted
Being a British citizen should mean something. You work. You pay your taxes. You obey the law. Yet millions feel they're permanently at the back of the queue while government worries about everyone except them. That cannot continue.

Piddington has voted to “leave” the UK.
Residents backed a symbolic independence referendum by 285 votes to 26, with one spoiled ballot, protesting plans to house up to 1,256 male asylum seekers at a former military site nearby.
The vote has no legal force. Its political message is harder to ignore.

£56,000 per migrant returned. 1,400 sent back. 28,000 crossed anyway.
Shabana Mahmood has admitted to MPs that the Government's flagship 'one in, one out' deal with France has now cost British taxpayers around £78 million.
That is £56,000 for every illegal Channel migrant sent back under the scheme, which France now wants to scrap.
In the 11 months since it launched, a grand total of 1,400 people have been returned.
In that same time, 28,000 made the crossing.
The Home Secretary says the pilot is "having some effect" and proves the concept can work.
The balance sheet says otherwise: 1,400 returns against 28,000 crossings, and a bill of £78 million for the privilege.
The question is simple.
Can a system costing £56,000 a head ever operate at the scale needed to make a serious dent in Channel crossings?
Share if you think British taxpayers deserve better.

Ben Habib, Chairman of the Great British PAC, responds to Piddington’s referendum:
“Their referendum was a cry for help.”
Habib says the proposed asylum accommodation would fundamentally change the village and argues that those entering the UK illegally should not be housed there.
His message is unequivocal: “They should not be in Piddington. They are not welcome. They should go home.”
Piddington has spoken. The question now is whether Westminster will listen.

Labour is making it harder to produce British oil and gas, and now Burnham is considering military support to defend Saudi oil infrastructure. Work that one out.
Ben Habib retweeted
Britain is sitting on its own energy.
Labour would rather tax it out of existence, import energy from abroad and call that progress.
111 potential projects.
£50bn of investment.
A 78% headline tax rate.
Use British energy. Employ British workers. Put Britain first.

You pay your child maintenance.
On time. In full. Every month.
And Labour’s DWP now wants to charge you for the privilege.
2% from the paying parent.
2% from the receiving parent.
Money meant for children should not become another Government revenue stream.

Piddington will be overrun by illegal migrants. It will be the ruination of a quintessential English village. Their referendum was a cry for help. They have nowhere to go. Of course, the illegal migrants do. They have homes they left to enter England illegally. They should not be in Piddington. They are not welcome. They should go home.

Tony Blair told us devolution would strengthen the United Kingdom. Today the nationalist leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are meeting to demand the right to break it apart. Another Blair experiment has produced precisely the opposite of what was promised.
Ben Habib retweeted
Devolution has worked as any sane person would expect.
It has promoted those who’d break up the country and take each constituent part into the anti-democratic EU.
Our Kingdom was forged over thousands of years. We have been together for hundreds of years and these anti-British bastards would destroy it.
Abolish devolution.
Ben Habib retweeted
Funny how Westminster tolerated big money in politics for decades while Labour and the Conservatives were collecting it. Now a challenger has the resources to compete and suddenly the establishment wants to change the rules. What an extraordinary coincidence.
Ben Habib retweeted
A week ago Reform was drowning in sleaze. Then two billionaires moved to insulate the party.
Whatever happens with the various regulatory and criminal investigations, Reform is likely to survive.
Reform needs money to break the Labour–Tory stranglehold. I have no problem admitting that. But £72 million from two billionaires in 48 hours is something else entirely. I want politicians to live and die by the consequences of the decisions they make. And I want those exerting enormous influence over British politics to have skin in the game too. If you're going to claim to represent ordinary British people, they are entitled to ask:
Who is influencing whom?

Northern Ireland joining GB created the United Kingdom.
Foreign politicians suggesting a breakup of our kingdom stand against us. No matter whether they’re Irish, European or American.
What our politicians should be doing is ditching the Irish Sea border.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was created in 1801 by the Acts of Union. Northern Ireland did not join Great Britain to create it; the six counties remained in the UK after most of Ireland became independent in 1922.
