[Michael Taylor @M_H_Taylor]

First year since 2004 that I've played in a self-umpiring league. This, a few weeks ago, was a rude awakening.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Country being held ransom by a dribbling sunshine bus of Labour MPs who would rather spend a third of a trillion on benefits for foreigners than an extra pound on defending what's left of the country.

[Lloyd @LGB_1962]

He was lying.

He's always lying.

[Matthew Warwick @mpwarwick]

Perhaps I am old fashioned, but if the SoS for Defence and the Armed Forces Minister resign on the basis that No. 10 and the Treasury are either unwilling or unable to fund the defence of the state appropriately, then that should be a resignation for both the PM and Chancellor.

[Stephen Pollard @stephenpollard]

At root, Healey has resigned because he believes the PM and Chancellor are endangering national security.
There could be no worse an accusation. This should be climactic.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The 0.08% rise in defence spending as share of GDP between 2027 and 2030 is all the more unfathomable because Healey reveals the UK intelligence assessment is that Russia could attack a NATO country before 2030. If anything illustrates Starmer is unfit to be PM, it’s that.

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Starmer has chosen his own job over the defence of our nation. He would have to sack Rachel Reeves in order to fund defence properly. He’s chosen not to do that because if the Chancellor goes, he goes. That is not patriotism. That is weak, selfish cowardice.

[Jezza @JeremyCGoodacre]

@Pea19851985 Oh Radio 4 6 o’clock news were banging on about it earlier. It was 11 degrees, foggy and pissing down at the time. In the southern part of the UK in June.
Wankers

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

As a country we need to resolve not to have lying cunts in charge anymore. It requires a degree of honesty for each and every one of us, we cant live off eachother to the same extent, and most of all we cant have a political class as large and bloated off doing nothing.

But most of all that cunt Starmer needs to go to prison. Forever.

[Armchair Admiral 🇬🇧 @ArmchairAdml]

Soooo I guess GCAP/Tempest is fucked then….

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.

[The Yorkshire Lass @real_shirelass]

Article 61 of the Magna Carta gives people the power to legally overthrow a tyrannical government.

Remember that.

[Mooses Felix 🇺🇸 @MoosesFelix]

Well, um, cough cough, ahem, sputter, cough, husband has a point.....😂

[CricketChap @TheCricket_Chap]

It’s so unfair.

Joe Root got punched by Warner, but it was years ago so that’s apparently fine.

Harry Brook got punched by a bouncer, but it was too recent.

Ben Stokes wasn’t even punched at all.

No consistency from the ECB when it comes to enforcing the cooling-off period on punch-related captaincy appointments.

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

This is getting silly now. There's no way a family of a stabbed man organically comes out with these textbook perfect quotes from the Labour Manifesto.
"We would like to add that migrants make valuable contributions to the UK, increasing GDP across the service sector by 3.4%. thanks to Emperor Starmer's wise handling of every issue"

[James @jamestaylor1]

Unpopular Opinion. I thought Dr Who was shit when I was a kid, and my opinion has never changed.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Airports need two lanes: one for people who’ve traveled before, and one for folks who are clearly experiencing their first day on Earth.

[Douglas Carswell🇬🇧🇺🇸 @DouglasCarswell]

Rather than addressing the problem, they want to target people who notice the problem

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

Rachel Reeves will reimburse British firms £5,000 per foreign worker in a bid to make the country more attractive

We have a million young people unemployed

Yet she will pay companies to hire foreigners over those young people

INSANE
