The biggest benefit recipients in the UK are Amazon, Apple, Google, BP, Tesco, The Royal Family.
They receive 3x as much as ALL Disability Benefits.
I don't know why we tolerate these billionaire scroungers.
I’m fed up with politicians saying we need to “respect” the 2016 Brexit referendum result.
A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago, that turned out to be a costly mistake, does not have to be “respected”.
If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy
10 years ago today we were digesting the Brexit vote. To be for Remain was to be tarred with being liberal establishment southerners - disciples of experts. Ten years on Britain, Europe and the west are all the weaker. We were right. And we must always have the courage to say so.
By the way, Thomas Partey being on that pitch because the USA allowed him entry but refusing a visa to so many fans is why this World Cup will always be a shambles.
Vile man.
Interesting fact.
At no point was the summer of 1976 as hot as today. Not one weather station recorded temperatures of 36°c all summer. Not even in August.
Another interesting fact.
1976, if it happened in the last ten years, would be the coldest year in those 10 years.
As you sit boiling in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses.
Those houses were likely funded on the back of lies and misinformation they helped propagate.
Anyone who's never experienced a heatwave in the UK thinks we're over reacting when we say how hot it is. It's not the same as other countries. The humidity is high and our houses are designed to keep the heat in. Our houses basically become air fryers and we don't have air con.
i think americans forget how far north the uk actually is, london is at the same latitude at CALGARY, glasgow is the same as copenhagen. it is NOT normal for them to be having this kind of heat - at any point during the year
Quite something that around the tenth anniversary of the Brexit campaign murder of Jo Cox he says he is the most attacked politician of the last decade. Well done Sally Nugent for pressing with Qs so many of her colleagues have decided to move on from because he doesn’t want to answer them
How many people dislike Keir Starmer because of their own measured opinion of his track record, compared to the number of people who dislike him because they’ve been exposed to arguably the largest anti-PM media and social media personality onslaught this country’s ever seen?
Man who recently ran a local election campaign centred around getting rid of Keir Starmer is now complaining about the destabilising impact to the country that the change of Prime Minister has.
Typical of Nigel Farage who always distances himself from the damage he causes.
Good luck to the North of Ireland tonight.
I can’t imagine how wild the rioting will be this evening now it’s been confirmed one of their leaders is a pedophile …
