I have come to believe that Matt Goodwin is making deliberately asinine statements on X-Twitter as correction bait to maximise his blue-tick earnings.

"Homes, Health, and Honest Work
for our National Community
The National Rebirth Party is a Party of principles. We offer a complete political worldview based around the Twenty Demands of the National Agenda, with a plan to re-organise our society, economy and political system."

oh boy 👀
The 20 demands of the fascist cosplay (UK) National Rebirth Party over 4 screenshots 1. We demand that only people of British Heritage or lineage shall be inherently entitled by birth to be British citizens 2. We demand that foreigners whose presence is harmful to the interests of the National Community be expelled, without exception, from Great Britain. Those who enter without permission shall be expelled by default and prohibited from ever returning. 3. We demand that only British citizens be permitted to vote or hold public office at any level. 4. We demand that no foreign treaty, alliance, war or undertaking be entered into or continued unless it serves the interests of the National Community. This includes the distribution of British money to foreign nations. 5. We demand that all citizens have equal rights, and equal duties to society. Those who refuse to carry out their duties will be stripped of their rights. 6. We demand that every British citizen has a duty to be productive, to the best of their ability. All honest work is honourable, and work is a duty. source: https://nationalrebirthparty.org.uk/Agenda/ 7. We demand that all British men must perform some kind of military service for a period of at least 18 months, to the best of their ability. 8. We demand a justice system with the end goal of removing the most dangerous offenders from society. The most serious crimes, including crimes against the nation and its people, must carry the death penalty. 9. We demand the creation of a new British Law System, whereby the first principle of the system is accessibility. 10. We demand freedom of religion for all British people, so long as the religion does not threaten or harm the interests of the National Community. Any religion which does this shall be prohibited. 11. We demand the continuation of state-funded education. We further demand that the state should establish and finance a series of schools of excellence, which will provide scholarship education of the highest possible quality, free of charge, with admittance purely on the basis of academic merit. 12. We demand that British citizens shall continue to have access to a state-funded National Health Service, and the state should routinely promote and fund programmes which encourage a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. Foreigners or visitors will be required to pay for the use of public health services. 13. We demand that the re-zoning of green land for other uses must only occur by absolute national necessity. Policies to protect the environment must be realistic and achievable and not based on impossible goals. 14. We demand that productive private enterprise be bolstered as a cornerstone of British society. Businesses should be encouraged to form co-operatives and collaborate where possible for mutual benefit. The state must support businesses which work towards national economic goals. 15. We demand that all trade unions be amalgamated, and the national government assume the duty of the protection of the worker. 16. We demand that all public utilities and transportation networks be placed into public ownership. The only profits they will take will be those required for future investment. 17. We demand that the financial method of endlessly accumulating debt be ended, and that the two principal objectives of fiscal policy be to 1) eliminate debt, and 2) prevent inflation. 18. We demand that tariffs be applied where necessary to protect and foster the development of British enterprises. International capitalism, and its relentless destruction of British industries, must be ended. 19. We demand a welfare system that provides unemployed or destitute persons productive employment as opposed to a dependency income. The welfare system must also include profit margin limitations on rents and property prices. 20. We demand that the British state be controlled by a strong national government, with total authority, whose legitimacy derives directly from the consent of the British citizenry by way of plebiscites and referenda of public approval.

Not all Remainer Tories chose to abandon Remain voters.
Some paid a high price for continuing to hold the same views about Europe and speak out about the harm of Brexit.

These people take figures and extrapolate them into xenophobic panic

Tldr: While census data shows 48 per cent of lead tenants **in London** social housing were foreign-born
Reform UK types use that for all UK

+ more than two-thirds of those lead tenants born outside the UK hold a British passport
Fact check: Foreign-born people, not necessarily foreigners, occupy 48% of London’s social housing
Key context is missing from a widely shared online claim about the proportion of social housing that foreigners occupy in Britain’s capital London.

"Reform is trying to capture something different: a compact with "alarm-clock Britain," the people who get up early, pay their taxes, and feel ignored"

I set my alarm for 6:15AM and I'm already at work, Matt.
But I'm never voting for Reform UK

Most of your voters are retired so don't need alarms.

How odd that @danielderhonnda.bsky.social aka "Lark Rise to Cancelford" blocked me after I asked him if he was Matt Goodwin 🤔
He's certainly pushing the same Reform UK / GB News agenda.

Matt Goodwin took to his substack to deceitfully explain why he deflected a #bbcqt question about Prince Andrew to focus on the favoured far-right talking point of grooming gangs (but only the Asian ones).

His habit of writing in the third person is peculiar.

It's an odd thing, having your descent so clearly recorded in public.

Maybe we should all chip in to buy Matt Goodwin a ticket back to Hungary so he can be happy again?
s/s Matt Goodwin tweet I just spent 4 days in Hungary, a conservative country criticised by elites across the West. I saw no crime. No homeless people. No riots. No unrest. No drugs. No mass immigration. No broken borders. No self-loathing. No chaos. And now I've just landed back in the UK. Aug 4, 2024

Just to be completely clear - this British Army Vet was NOT forced out of military housing to accommodate Afghans - who, by the way, put their own lives at risk to support and protect British soldiers.

Just ever more rage-baiting by Matt!

true story
s/s of a 7:21AM ply by me to Rob's comment about Katie Hopkins reacting to the Manchester arena bombing (she was at that point a presenter on LBC) robmanuel @robmanuel May 23, 2017 Can imagine the inevitable @KTHopkins column & equally imagine Twitter's reaction to it. Wouldn't it be great if we, for once, skipped both? Jane @localnotail She's part of the problem, not part of the solution. Stirring up hatred & profiting from the outrage she creates. What a life. What a world. 7:21 AM May 23, 2017 7:24AM Tweet by professional hatemonger Katie Hopkins @KTHopkins 22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be part of the problem.
