Major British tech firm collapses after 1,070 job losses and £1.4bn downturn Exertis UK has entered administration following months of restructuring and heavy job losses. Only 70 employees remain on their payroll. Exertis UK had ranked as the fourth-largest IT distributor and marketplace operator in Britain. Labour policy hasn't helped struggling businesses... Instead of supporting British industry, Labour supports foreigners and benefits scroungers.

Meet Parm Sandhu. She sued @metpoliceuk for discrimination and pocketed £120k - despite becoming the force's highest-ranking Indian officer. She then wrote a book calling everyone racist. She’s now @CollegeofPolice's Chief Executive, which explains everything RE: Henry Nowak.

British Motor Corp, owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for "The Italian Job" (1969). The chief of Fiat Motors offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Peter Collinson, the director of the movie decided that, as it was a very British movie, the cars should be British Minis. Fiat still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds. The authorities refused to close the roads, but the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming. The traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during them. (Source: IMDb) P.S: On this day, 56 years ago, "The Italian Job" (1969) premiered in London, UK.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies. Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years. A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.

Home Office chiefs have earmarked £647 million for processing small-boat migrants arriving in Britain over the next 10 years, underlining how they expect the problem only to get worse. dailysceptic.org/2026/06/02/hom…

@British_Airways Thanks for replying Leanne, communication was very poor. The link emailed to passengers did not work for many of us and we arrived at our destination over 7 hours late having we watched other flights affected leave hours before

@British_Airways crew excellent but very very poor decision by Head of Operations to turn BA2718 back to LGW just 20 minutes away from its final destination after it was diverted temporarily to Porto Santo. Half the plane has decamped anyway and the plane has now been on the ground for over 2.5 hours and bags still have to come off 😩

Ed Davey has urged Bridget Phillipson to withdraw EHRC guidance protecting women-only toilets and changing rooms—guidance based on the Supreme Court’s Equality Act ruling. Calling it incompatible with “British values”, he’s chosen a side. It isn’t women.

Last summer a driver crashed into this ladys house. He was in a stolen car, uninsured and going 70mph in a 30mph area. Luckily her and her family weren't home at the time. They had to move out for over 6mnths & live in a hotel whilst her home was repaired through her house insurance. She's just been informed by GMP that there will be no further action against the driver & he faces no charges....how is that right? So you can go to jail for 2 or 3yrs for a social media post but if u go out & steal a car & drive it at high speed without insurance & crash it into a family home, not knowing if anyone is in & you dont face any charges whatsoever 🤷‍♀️🤬

Looks like UK missing out on AI investment due to the insane electricity prices in the blinkered wuest for net zero

@furbabygirl 😢

It's a fair question! 😂😂😂😂😂

They’ll sell this as a U‑turn. Rachel Reeves stands up, scraps her own 5p fuel duty hike “to help with the cost of living”, and the lobby purrs that motorists have been “spared”. But the numbers HMRC quietly publishes tell a different story. Duty stays at 52.95p a litre until New Year’s Eve… then jumps to 55.95p on 1 January, and to 57.95p on 1 March – the highest level for more than four years and a full reversal of the 5p cut introduced in 2022 when pump prices exploded after Russia invaded Ukraine. In plain English: the Chancellor has not cancelled the hike, she has re‑timed it for maximum political cover and minimum scrutiny. Labour gets to pose for the cameras as the party “freezing fuel duty” in 2026, while the small print schedules a 3p raid on 1 January, followed by another 2p bomb on 1 March, precisely when families are still crawling out of the winter cost‑of‑living hole. By the time drivers feel the full 5p rise at the pumps – plus 20% VAT on top of the duty – the press conference will be ancient history, but the extra tax will be baked into every commute, every school run, every delivery. That is not economic competence. It is a deliberate, smoke‑and‑mirrors tax grab on people who have no choice but to drive.

Since the Iran War started, the Government has spent more than £270,000,000 to turn British wind farms off. The UK has the highest industrial energy prices. Our industries are collapsing. Jobs are moving abroad. Why did the Government agree to these contracts?

HMRC estimates that equalising capital gains tax with income tax would COST the exchequer some £6 billion a year because people will choose not to cash in their gains so no tax would be liable In this @PhilAldrick piece on Labour’s wealth tax challenge: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
