50,000 more prison places. The biggest expansion in our history.

That’s what the next Conservative government will deliver.

We will reverse Labour’s early release scheme and put violent criminals and repeat offenders behind bars.

Kemi Badenoch has announced the Conservatives will spend £2bn annually to create the extra spaces within seven years of taking power.

The Tory leader said the move – largely funded by cutting foreign aid to just £1bn a year – would be the biggest prison-building programme since the Victorian era and enable the Tories to cancel Labour’s early release of “dangerous” offenders to tackle jail overcrowding.

So the Tories expects there to be morecriminality, when they're in power? Can't say I disagree.

Two Iranian small boat illegal immigrants charged with plotting a terror attack on our Jewish community

This is another reason why we need to leave the ECHR and deport all illegal immigrants immediately upon on arrival.

We’ll fix the broken sick note system.

GPs signed off 11 million sick notes last year - more than double a decade ago. It costs us £££.

GPs want to be treating patients not gatekeeping the welfare system. It’s not working for them or the country - we’ll change it.

"Fit notes".

They haven't been called "sick notes" since 2010.

You only need one if you've been off work sick for more than 7 days. Badenoch intends to reduce the cost of sickness by getting someone cheaper than a GP to assess whether you're really ill.

<ETA> The one time I was told by my work I had to supply a fit note (Covid, no surprise) I told tell them there was no point even trying to get an appointment with my disfunctional GPs surgery. I couldn't very well go there while infectious, but also I would have been perfectly well again by the time I could get an appointment there, so they would just be taking my word for it anyway. They didn't pursue it. (I hadn't quite appreciated until recently just how unusually awful our local surgery's management has been. They've just been ousted and replaced by a new contract holder.)

A black man "I'm an Englishman"

Braverman "well...actually...no you're not"

An MP sitting in an English parliament involved in making laws to protect us all tells every black and brown person BORN here that they aren't actually English- because she set the bar at five generations and set it at white.

How is that patriotism?

We’re going to build 50,000 new prison places.

I was asked why past governments haven’t done this before.

Its a fair question, and here’s my answer.

If you’re violent or a repeat shoplifter you belong behind bars.

50,000 new places will be around 25 new prisons. Where are they going? Where will the prison officers come from?

We didn't do it in the last fifteen years we were in power, but this time we pinky swear.

As I predicted, the lefties have gone bananas!

This is exactly why I wrote my book: ‘Patriot: Empire, betrayal and hope’ - so that we can have a rational conversation about the effects of mass uncontrolled immigration in recent years.

I’ll keep speaking for the British people.

You reckon you're good at predictions then? What did you predict your policies on immigration would achieve in the decade and a half up to 2024?

 

[P.J. Denyer]

50,000 new places will be around 25 new prisons. Where are they going? Where will the prison officers come from?

And who are they planning to put in them? That's slightly over a 50% increase.

Terrorist splinter cells are fully established, operational and growing throughout the UK no thanks to @UKLabour
The UK is a breeding ground for terrorists and extremists, has been for a while however since Liebour took office, who are completely compromised/riddled throughout with terrorist sympathizers, these terrorist organisations believe they can operate freely under the protection of a like minded cultured government (fully detached from British culture). Is there any surprise that we’re witnessing an uprising when indirectly (or directly, you decide) our government is the facilitator! LABOUR OUT… It’s the only way!

Yes, John, that must surely be true.

I can't help thinking Cleese has been mightily trolling the Patriots all along.
