Ghastly, draconian madness.
The Tories teed it up.
I will keep the internet free.
An illegal boat left Belgian shores this morning painted in Kurdish colours.
Its destination? Britain of course.
I will be discussing this and more LIVE on GB News at 7pm tonight.
The boats are now launching from Belgium.
The Belgian authorities, like the French, are just standing and watching.
This boat is even custom-made to match the Kurdish flag. The gangs are laughing at us.
EXCLUSIVE: MIGRANT BOAT LAUNCHES FROM BELGIUM AS AUTHORITIES STAND AND WATCH
29th October 2026 | Belgian-French border | Approx. 3:00 AM local time
What I believe could be the first ever footage of an illegal migrant boat launching from a Belgian beach, just across the border from France.
But the real story isn’t the boat.
It’s the Belgian authorities standing there watching it happen.
No visible intervention. No attempt to stop the launch.
Different country. Same scenes I’ve witnessed repeatedly in France.
Two countries, one border, and the same question: what exactly are the authorities doing to stop these boats?
That budget was as cynical as it was unserious. It was a patchwork of gimmicks.
Labour are fiddling while our economy burns.
A Reform government will slash wasteful spending, cut taxes and regulation, and get our economy growing again.

I will be discussing Labour’s disastrous budget and everything they won’t tell you on GB News at 7pm.
Labour’s budget has proven two things today.
They haven’t got a clue how to save our economy and they are coming for your money.
Only Reform can be trusted to lower your bills and save our country.

HMRC can now seize money from your bank account without even having a meeting.
As someone who's been debanked, this sets a dark precedent.
Reform will fight this at every turn.

These are the stats John Healey doesn’t want you to read.
Unemployment will rise to 5% in 2027.
The tax burden is going up AGAIN to the highest since WW2.
By 2031 we’ll be spending £160bn/year on debt interest alone – up £36bn/year.
Borrowing forecasts for the next 5 years have risen £65bn since March.
Households will be worse off in every single year of the five-year forecast than they were in March.
It’ll take until 2029 to get back to 2019 levels of prosperity.
Growth will be abysmal. GDP per capita grows less than 1% in 2027. It’ll peak at less than 2% per year, despite the AI revolution.
The national debt will stay above 95% of GDP.
We are on a fiscal knife-edge. Britain is Broke. Britain needs Reform.
If HMRC are allowed to take money from individuals’ bank accounts, as proposed in the budget today, then we are heading to a dark place.
This tool could be used against anyone deemed to be a threat by the government of the day.
🚨 NEW: John Healey is set to announce the following in his Budget later
- The gas standing charge will be scrapped to save £27 a year on a typical bill
- Green levies on energy bills will be scraped "for good"
- NHS prescription charges will be frozen at £9.90 for another year
- Poorer households on benefits will receive extra help with energy bills before January's sharp rises
- The VAT cut on electricity bills, which was due to expire in April, will be extended (though it's not clear if this will be announced in the Budget or separately)
- The Government will remove the link between gas and electricity prices, which currently inflates household bills, "in the long term"
- Banks will face higher taxes, with the surcharge on their profits potentially rising from 3% to 8%, making it the Budget’s biggest revenue raiser
- HMRC will be given powers to seize money from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their tax
- The freeze on rail fares will reportedly not be extended beyond April
- Online retailers like Amazon, eBay and Temu will be made responsible for collecting unpaid VAT from sellers to fund a cut in business rates for high street shops
- The thresholds for income tax will be frozen again so another half a million people may be dragged into the higher rate
- January's planned increase in fuel duty will be cancelled
- Pensioners relying solely on the state pension will see their tax-free allowance rise to £13,036, in line with the pension increase, so they don't pay income tax
- Billions in long-term borrowing to invest in defence firms and raise the share of GDP spent on defence (without breaking fiscal rules, as the investments are expected to generate returns)
- The upcoming "Your First Home" scheme will be made more generous to provide greater support for middle-income earners
- The Budget will also assume the Rosebank oil field is approved, which will generate "significant tax revenues"
I'll be LIVE at 7pm on GB News to expose just how disastrous a Burnham betrayal on free movement would be for Britain.
I'll be revealing numbers and figures you've never seen before. You won't want to miss this.
Labour and the Tories opened the floodgates to millions of migrants from across the world.
Reform will achieve net negative migration, deport every illegal migrant and reverse this madness.
End of.
Has your life improved in the last 100 days? In any way?
Have your bills gone down? Do you feel richer? Safer? Has your local community improved at all?
For the average person, the answer is a resounding NO.
Burnham is making tweaks as broken Britain slides further into terminal decline.
He’s a talker, not a doer. He hasn’t changed the country one bit so far, and isn’t going to.
We need fundamental change - and that's what I will bring.
In our first 100 days, we will:
Put the Royal Navy in the Channel and stop the boats forever.
Begin the mass exit of over 1 million people who illegally entered Britain.
We will make it impossible to live here illegally, so many will leave voluntarily. But, make no mistake, the deportation of those who don’t will be enforced.
We will increase your tax-free personal allowance from £12,570 to £15,000 to keep money in your pocket.
We’ll reduce your annual energy bills by £250.
We’ll charge NO interest on loans for nursing students, lift the cap on medical school places and cut student loan issuance by 20%.
If my ministers fail to deliver, I'll sack them. Simple as.
The stakes have never been higher. It's time we have a government that acts like it.
Reform will raise the VAT threshold to £150,000 a year and scrap tax on overtime.
Small businesses and grafters are the backbone of our economy.
Labour are failing them. We will back them.
