My daughter Belle is known on X for her paintings of Jesus.
Today she has finished her oil painting of Anne Widdecombe.
I thought I’d share how remarkable and beautiful it is ❤️

Free speech doesn’t require your agreement. It doesn’t ask for your approval. It doesn’t even demand that you listen.
It simply protects the right to speak freely.
This is my friend Laurence: a good man, sometimes a wise man, occasionally a complete dickhead.
But always a free man.
And for that, among many other things, I admire him greatly.

The absolute madness of the UK…
People claiming benefits with 3 children can water their gardens with a hosepipe ….
But working families supporting those on benefits are banned! and can get a £1000 fine if they do.
Seriously … what is the point in working?

Absolutely shocking at PMQs … David Lammy refuses to apologise to sexual assault victims
And then refused to guarantee that rapists and pedophiles won’t be let out early …
His big answer is confirming DIGITAL ID.

Oh … an electric double decker bus has burst into flames in a London depot, destroying the bus and 2 charging points.
Now, er … if this heat becomes normal isn’t it a bit dodgy to mandate electric transport before we’ve figured out how to stop batteries over heating? Just a thought.

This is England … it is broken.
A student was stabbed with a “shashtar” knife on a night out. As he lay bleeding to death, his attacker claimed he’d racially abused him, so the police handcuffed him.
Henry Nowak choked to death, in a puddle of his own blood under arrest for “racism”, in Britain, in 2025.
Will there be protests at his death? Will the anti-racism movement even bat an eyelid?
I suspect not. They’ve totally lost the plot.

Ahh .. and here it is. Businesses viewing human workers as ‘lower value human capital’
Everything I said here is true. Not one political leader has a plan for the monumental change coming.
It’s a good job a plan has been written for them then isn’t it. Focus.

They can’t tell you the truth, if they even understand it, they fear they wouldn’t be elected if they did. And they are right.
Britain is failing and its political class have no idea where this ‘mythical’ growth to cover obscene spending will come from.
Because they can’t! There isn’t really any.
The working age population is shrinking, the number of people claiming benefits is rising, and the public sector, funded by the private sector, is massively expanding.
AI is on track to replace up to 60% of white collar jobs in the next 10 years. Meaning the majority will be jobless and needing to claim benefits. Which we won’t be able to afford to pay! Because tax income will have decreased…. Not one politician has addressed this.
The guff about “net zero” and “green jobs” is bollocks (technical term) Those jobs only exist during the construction phase, after that, these are largely automated industries. So of course, we’ve decided to invest your tax in an industry that will destroy your jobs.
As for those shouting about Universal Basic Income er … from where? How would it be funded? You’re dreaming.
And those saying we can just tax the corporations, they’re dreaming too. They’ll just operate from outside the UK.
And to control you … as you demand pay rises and more benefits? Well, a near total clampdown of speech and thought, and protesting, through legislation and censorship and those Digital IDs, “just so you behave yourself.”
There really is little growth, all those retraining, don’t think you’re safe either, trades will be hit because ordinary citizens won’t have the money to buy services.
We’re are in a badly managed decline, with grossly under qualified and incapable politicians all pretending they can fix it.
And all those screaming to tax the rich? You’re just morons.
I’m annoyed 💣

JD Vance tells Britain to keep going, it’s ok to defend your culture and it’s ok to want to live in a safe neighbourhood. It isn’t racist.
Will Starmer ban the Vice President of the United States for hate speech for saying what the majority have been told they can’t say?

Bloody hell … Rachel from accounts / client services has increased the cost of food with Net Zero, carbon taxes, packaging levies, higher NI and wage mandates… then blames supermarkets for putting prices up.
Now she wants 1970s-style price caps.
Remember supermarkets make less than 3% profit on food, the profit they make is also paid to pension funds that the BLOODY government told us to invest in!!!
Seriously I can’t cope.
This sort of maths would fail GCSE level, yet Labour MPs think it’s brilliant. That tells you everything you need to know.

🚨 RESPECT ORDERS - You don’t need to break the law to be criminalised in Britain. You just need to annoy the wrong person.
The government is pushing through something called a Respect Order, part of the new Crime and Policing Bill now moving through Parliament.
Respect Orders are civil, not criminal, so they don’t require a jury or criminal standard of proof. Just someone saying you’re causing a nuisance, even online!
If someone complains, that you're too loud, too disruptive, too opinionated, you can be banned from:
▪️Posting on social media
▪️Attending a protest
▪️Speaking in a public place
▪️Even entering certain areas
All without ever being charged with a crime. And if you break the order?
well … that’s a crime. You could be fined, arrested, or jailed for up to two years.
It’s pre-crime policing and It’s about control, not safety. It’s a ban on dissent.

Er … Has Ange let the cat out of the bag here? Or is it a mistake?
She cannot surely be suggesting that freehold - private land and property ownership - should be abolished?
But that’s what her statement says 👇🏻
