I once managed to persuade people on minimum wage to vote for me after telling them I’d be ending the minimum wage if I was elected.

[Daniel Lismore @daniellismore]

Yup

Nigel’s poster is going viral

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

The media has us believing that Reform took over the country.

But the reality is this. How embarrassing

King Charles arrives back from a state visit to Instanbul.

Still amazed that The Bible was so specific in forbidding shops with 280 square metres of floor space to open for over 6 hours on a Sunday.

Reform waking up to realise Nige isn't prime minister but they're now just in charge of multiple bin collections

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker.

Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”.

He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was given a suspended sentence.

It comes up when you Google him.

He won in the council election.

He’s now a Reform Councillor.

Jonathan Gullis. What first attracted you to Reform when you were totally unemployable?

“If you don’t work hard at school you’ll end up going to Wetherspoons at 8 in the morning and then going out to paint roundabouts”.

Who better to lecture people about political integrity than the woman who was sacked for having 14 meetings with senior Israeli figures while on holiday then lying about it , then sacked again for bullying.

Todays picket at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham🪧

£22.67/hr is not an unreasonable ask. Doctors have subsidised the NHS for far too long.

Perhaps @wesstreeting needs reminding that the power to stop these strikes lies squarely with the government.

A resident doctor starts on £17 an hour and could well save your life.

Nick Robinson earns £360k a year for reading out bits of the Daily Mail two days a week.

Remarkable.

Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).

July 1969 - John Lennon asked us to ‘Give peace a chance’
June 2025 - Rod Stewart asks us to ‘Give Farage a chance’.
I’m with John.

Sorry nurses, teachers and doctors, but there is no money.

Oh that magic war jet money? Oh that's different money...

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

The richest 1% of people in the UK are worth £2.8 trillion. Tell me again why a Labour government needs to cut benefits for the disabled.

Interesting Fact of the Day: If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020.
