Chinese firms are dominating Google searches for goods. Temu, AliExpress, Shein... It's making online browsing a frustrating experience and often the firm doesn't even sell the particular good searched for - but they're crowding out domestic sellers by spam type advertising.

Today's Europhile theme is going to be: There can be no democracy when only 81,000 people voted for the UK Premier. Remind them that zero European citizens get to choose the EU's appointed presidents.

When you're so far down a rabbit hole you fail to notice half the 'far right thugs' are in fact elderly ladies, & instead take to X to post footage of your disproportionate actions. Our establishment are rapidly losing the confidence of the masses.

The event is not due to start for an hour and regrettably officers are already dealing with disorder.   There is an area allocated for this event in Richmond Terrace. This group went past it and continued up Whitehall. When officers formed a cordon and asked the group to turn

I cannot forgive the Tory MPs, sat in the Commons, drawing their salaries, watching the Conservative Party be destroyed. That for me is a worse kind of disloyalty & cowardice than admitting they got it wrong when assuming Sunak would make a competent PM.

Every statue toppled without consent, Every celebrity who tells us what to think, Every organisation breaching trust placed in it as custodians of heritage, And every woke driven, stock taking exercise to erase history, Is slowly turning us into the nationalists they fear.

39k likes for Suella's letter to the PM. 60k likes for Boris Johnson's remarks on the Armistice day protests. It can't be made much clearer where the ideological values of Conservative voters are placed. Such a weird era in politics - watching a hugely successful party die.

I don't think it makes any difference what the Tories pledge now. No-one believes a word they say & no-one believes they could deliver a pizza, much less a major piece of legislation. They're just pretending to be conservative, pretending to look busy, pretending to govern.

I won't be surprised to see more Labour breaches exposed, or another revelation re the Durham event. Starmer has cancelled an event scheduled for tomorrow. I get the feeling his position is becoming untenable.

THREAD: JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED SATURDAY 1. I'm looking at twitter and there's a lot of smoke & mirrors out there. Here's what actually happened today. It will help you understand if you look over the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019. aka the 'Benn Act'

The only other option I can think of is MP's who oppose the Rwanda scheme allocate their constituencies as asylum settlements. Constituents pay an enhanced council tax to fund the accommodation & if the scheme is popular the MP is rewarded at the ballot box. That's democracy.

The horse was terrified & bolted. When a horse bolts it is impossible for the rider to control it. Bottles & bricks thrown - flares thrown near to the mounted Police. You're a disgrace Owen - trying to defend such reprehensible behaviour. The horses don't choose to be there.

This is a straightforward lie. The video shows the police officer riding directly into a traffic light, not being thrown off by protesters.

In years to come historians will write of an era when journalists lost their minds, obsessing over cake & non-parties whilst Europe & the West faced its biggest military threat for over 7 decades.

You've no idea how utterly depressing I found this tweet. How long before Christmas is considered too dangerous to be openly celebrated? Governments across the west have failed in their primary function of securing borders & protecting citizens.

WHO have waded in, suggesting we pause vaccinations once vulnerable are vaccinated, thus freeing up stock for other countries. Nice try WHO, but the AZ vaccine is also produced in Mexico & India in order that poorer countries have access to a not for profit 💉 EU BS via WHO

1. It's almost like the Victorians knew what they were doing when they built homes near to places of work. They built smaller schools so kids could walk to school. They built cottage hospitals so routine illnesses could be treated locally.

Considering the Speaker's role is to be a neutral referee in the Commons: I assume whilst probing into the Mail on Sunday's #tartgate source, he'll ALSO be asking the Mirror to divulge the name of the #cakegate Downing Street spy?

Whilst on the subject of pissing off the French: London is in joint second place (with New York) globally for start-up investment . Paris is twelfth. Despite Brexit. And Starmer describes us as irrelevant!
