@JCS_1956 @Heccles94 @moejohno The Reform leader of Kirklees Council said none of them knew what they were voting for https://t.co/r5y2bjURwu

@kristengough @LindseyGrahamSC @RedStateBlues_ It was all down to the orange blimp that the Straits of Hormuz ended up being restricted. Think you have a right to control Latin America, and control Venezuelan oil? All in pursuit of shoring up the petrodollar? Any one remember Woodrow Wilson and the 14 points? Go read history.

@kristengough @LindseyGrahamSC @RedStateBlues_ Some people in the USA assume that it's so powerful that it will always prevail, forgetting histories lessons. Empires rise AND fall. You crowed about supplanting Britain's Empire, but forgot Macedonia, Greece, Rome, China, Ondia, Africa et al. You're history too now!

[Emma Procter💙 @EmmProcter]

@kristengough @LindseyGrahamSC @RedStateBlues_ That should have said history's lesson, not histories!

@BriefcaseMike @Thelma_DWalker Laugh all you like, but remember stage magicians generally gave an assistant who distracts the audience while the sleight of hand happens. Farage is the 'glamorous' 🤢 assistant while Tice, Harborne, Musk et al get on with Project 2025 UK version.

@BriefcaseMike @Thelma_DWalker I don't want to be jumping on a bandwagon, but there's more here than just saying Starmer must go. I'm obviously seeing lots of anti Reform postings given my preferences, and I'm concerned that many people seem to be highlighting the minority of Reform elected members who've...

[Emma Procter💙 @EmmProcter]

@BriefcaseMike @Thelma_DWalker Chickened out after being elected. I've heard them called puppets, but don't forget who's pulling the strings. 10% of the 2024 elected have gone, so 90% remain! Those 2024 councillors are now quietly digging in and passing knowledge on to the newbies...

But this group appears to be out of the Trump playbook, and who funds their address?
'Democracy Volunteers
8 Duncannon Street
Westminster
London, WC2N 4FJ
United Kingdom'

And £100 per month for access to their Gold Membership? - why would volunteers be paying such sums?

[Emma Procter💙 @EmmProcter]

'Concerns were raised by Democracy Volunteers, a group of voluntary election observers who check voting processes are being followed correctly.'
So who are Democracy Volunteers exactly? As a PO, I'm aware that the Electoral Commission can have observers attend Polling Stations...

@1966Dek @nadhimzahawi Why is it that so many politicians, mainly Tory, but possibly from other parties for balance, think they should have a place in the Lords as a matter of right? Nadhim Zahawi isn't the first ex Tory MP to have a peerage denied tantrum though, is he?

@Lanc1925 @ArchRose90 @foxmulder1969 Strangely enough, we have a superb example of socialism in action here in theUK, and have had for 78 years. The NHS was founded in 1948, and for all it's faults, still provides Universal care, free at the point of delivery.

This is the difference being in a trade union can make. Together, we can shift power from the bosses back to working people.

@kelvmackenzie But what about those of us who didn't watch any broadcast media about the Budget, but who still kept themselves informed?

[UNISON East Midlands @UNISONEastMids]

🚨 The government says NHS staff can only get a 2.5% pay rise next year, less than inflation and barely above minimum wage.

⚠️Enough is enough. It’s time for fair, funded talks on NHS pay.

@badgerwocky @JamesCleverly Different times, but don't forget Hugh Dalton who '...in 1947...was forced to resign for, seemingly inadvertently, revealing a sentence of the budget to a reporter minutes before delivering his budget speech.' Where is such probity in today's politicians, from all parties?
