@NissanUK@LindseyJolliffe@NissanUK pull your finger out STILL not working someone dropped the ball. Worked fine before the last update now NOTHING!!!!!
Speaker Lindsay Hoyle was on a jolly to the British Virgin Islands when he says he learned Peter Mandelson was apparently a flight risk (unlikely).
No surprise he was in the Caribbean. Long been branded ‘long-haul Hoyle’ at our expense, spending more than £320,000 of taxpayers’ cash on foreign jaunts up until last summer since becoming Speaker in 2019.
He spent more than £200,000 on first and business class plane tickets plus tens of thousands more spent on chauffeur-driven cars, stays at luxury five-star resorts and restaurants.
During a previous Caribbean tour in March 2023, he shelled out nearly £5,500 chartering private planes to hop between the islands of St Maarten, Montserrat, Anguilla and Antigua.
In 2024, he spent £22,000 for a five-day trip to meet his counterpart in the Cayman Islands, staying at the Westin Grand, where his room was billed at £679 per night.
His snout. Our trough.
They really do take us for fools.
“Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1.5 billion of taxpayers’ money this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by falsely claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”
Joey Barton gets the ‘Alex Belfield’ treatment in court. I guess Joey is not in the club.
We now live in a country where if you call someone a nonce you can go to prison but if you are a nonce you don’t.
This will be a tough weekend for the Chancellor. She knew almost six weeks before the Budget from the OBR there was no ‘black hole’. Yet she and the Treasury still stoked up the idea that there was — and it would take big tax rises to fill it.
By Oct 31 she knew from the OBR there was actually £4bn headroom rather than a black hole. Yet still on Nov 5th she commandeered breakfast media to roll the pitch for big tax rises.
Even by mid-November she was telling the BBC if Labour stuck to its manifesto commitments (ie no income tax rises) she’d need deep cuts to capital investment.
None of what she said in the run up to the Budget was true. The Treasury select committee needs to ask her why she so misled the Parliament, the markets and the British people.
She raised taxes to give herself some more headroom and to pay for yet another increase in (largely welfare) spending.
The tax burden is going to all-time record level for a simple reason: the Labour manifesto said public spending would be around £10bn higher than Tory plans by 2028/29. In reality on the latest projections it will be £179bn higher!!! Nothing to do with filling in black holes.
Stand Up To Racism showed up at the UKIP mass deportation tour. I debated her and, surprise surprise, she ran away.
They can’t defend their own nonsense when challenged.

We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.

In Britain, we now jail the likes of Lucy Connolly for dumb, incendiary social media posts (that she deleted), but 1000s chant about killing people at a major music festival, live on our publicly funded broadcaster, and nobody seems to care. Outrageous double standard.
Don’t get disheartened when you see people of social media with Ferraris and Lamborghini in roof top bars in Dubai. 9 times out of 10 it’s not real and that’s not success. Success is a full heart and a full fridge. Success is when you leave a room full of people and they say you’re alright. Don’t think you’re failing. Because you are not. Keep it real and have a great day. Bosh❤️
Lucy Connolly has been refused Right of Temporary Leave to visit her husband and daughter because the prison authorities decreed she expressed “extreme views”.
This has now been changed to “strong opinions”.
This woman is being held in a cell not just for a deleted tweet, but for her refusal to submit to the worship of Diversity as our strength since.
Lucy Connolly is a scapegoat being used by the government and judiciary to make you too afraid to voice reasonable objections to immigration and multiculturalism.
She should be at home with her family.
