The second and third Covid lockdowns were the biggest ever mistake made by a British government in peacetime, Nigel Farage has said.

The Reform UK leader was speaking to 1,000 people at the Rainton Arena which is in the constituency of Houghton and Sunderland South, currently represented by Labour’s Bridget Phillipson.

Mr Farage told the rally: “The Tories say we’re in economic trouble because of the pandemic. But hang on, you didn’t need to lock us down for a second and a third time.

“You didn’t need to take away our freedoms in a way that weren’t even done during World War Two and all of it with Labour support.

Were we the only nation who went into lockdown ??



Also did all governments subsidise the whole country ?

“I actually believe the long-term economic and psychological damage from lockdowns two and three perhaps represents the biggest mistake any British government, supported by the opposition, has ever made in peacetime.”

He went on to say he treated the second and third lockdowns with “contempt”.

it was obvious some of the rules were completely stupid and when they went down the path of vaccine passports and insisted everyone should get vaccinated to protect their relatives, everyone knew it was bollocks

I honestly couldn’t care less … it makes not a jot of difference who runs the country- sadly politicians are all , self serving, unscrupulous, dishonest, selfish, greedy ,uncaring, inept individuals .

The rich will get richer , the poor .. poorer ..

Nothing changes and hasn’t over the last 60+ years .

It will be interesting to see how this bunch of unsavoury individuals ( Labour) deal with the next serious Covid type outbreak…

Tory minister who placed three bets on election date in line for Sunak peerage…

A Conservative cabinet minister who admitted placing three bets on the date of the general election is in line for a peerage as part of Rishi Sunak’s final honours list, the Observer has been told.

Alister Jack, the Scottish secretary who stood down as an MP when the election was called, had been considered for inclusion in a dissolution honours list compiled in recent weeks, according to sources familiar with the process. The list is set to be published soon after Thursday’s vote.

Jack said he had placed three bets on the election date – one of which was successful – as the row over election betting engulfed the campaign last week.

He made clear that he had not breached any rules and was not being investigated by the Gambling Commission. The watchdog is examining betting by Westminster figures on the date of the election.

However, figures inside the party argued it would be “problematic” to press ahead with Jack’s peerage, given the anger over the betting row and its impact on the Tory campaign. Recent discussions suggest that Jack could still be in line for an honour when the list is finally published.

Tory sources also warned Sunak that the dissolution honours list, traditionally published at the end of a parliament, risked provoking anger in the party if he attempted to use it to reward “arrogant” advisers and aides who have overseen an election campaign criticised as error-strewn.

“It’s just quite extraordinary that, having criticised Liz Truss for giving some of her team gongs for failure, they’re going to do the exact same thing,” said one source.

Despite serving just 49 days as prime minister, Truss handed honours to aides and advisers, including supportive MPs and donors.

The news comes amid private complaints about Sunak’s decision to call an early election, which appeared to take many of the Conservative party’s own officials by surprise.

At the time it was called, almost 200 candidates were yet to be appointed – the most telling sign of how much work has been needed to ready the party for the snap poll.

One of the central figures in the betting row is also understood to have been removed from the forthcoming honours list.

The scandal began when the Guardian revealed that Craig Williams, Sunak’s parliamentary aide, was under investigation by the *commission for placing a £100 bet that the election would be in July, three days before it was announced.

Williams is said to have been considered for a knighthoodbefore the row emerged, but has since been removed from the deliberations. He has described the wager as “a huge error of judgment” and is one of two Tory candidates to have had support withdrawn by the party while the commission investigates.

Last week, Jack denied BBC reports that he had won £2,100 on an election bet, suggesting he had been joking about the idea. He later released a statement saying he had “not breached any gambling rules”.

The cabinet minister said in March he had placed two bets of £5 each for an election to be held in May and June respectively.

He placed a £20 bet in April at odds of 5 to 1 that an election would be held between July and September.

“I had no knowledge of the date of the election until the day it was called,” he said. “As I have said previously, I placed no bets in May and am not under investigation by the Gambling Commission.”

FFS, is there a Labour embargo on the words 'yes' and 'no'? This isn't
complicated. Just tell us whether you believe women have the right to single

THIS IS EXCRUCIATING! Slippery Keir Starmer was asked AGAIN today if he
would protect women's spaces and he would not give a straight answer.

He won't give us a straight answer because if he tells you what he really has
planned, you will not vote for him.

Oh dear.

People should simply vote tory if they want to protect women's spaces. I don't see what the problem is, it's simple. If you want women's rights protected, vote tory
