A Patriot’s Promise: Why real patriots pay taxes, welcome immigrants and tell the truth. Let’s talk about what’s really hurting Britain.

They told us Brexit would bring control. Prosperity. Pride. But what did it really bring?
Higher prices. Longer NHS waiting lists.Fewer teachers More division.

Here it comes then. When Rachel said ‘no stand alone wealth tax’ at conference I felt that left wriggle room - it’s crying out to be done, we have enormous numbers of people in poverty and a tax system that takes more from them as a % than from people with an awful lot of money.

When it comes to inciting violence Elon Musk is as great a danger as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. Why can’t the government treat Musk as a hostile force and Tommy Robinson and all others who take Musk’s money as threats to national security?

Except ofc Pogrund. DPP explained to C’tee tonight what happened. They asked DNSA to go further than confines of Tory view of China at relevant time. He refused. They asked him again. He emphasised it’s still no. Gabriel added 2+2 and got 12 - and instead of apologising now insists his sums add up.
