Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: https://t.co/7Nq6FOwsxk

🔴Labour is so paralysed by Brexit that, despite its hunt for growth, it won’t mention the vast sums lost.

🔴The CER estimates Brexit has cost the UK 5% of GDP—£128bn. Goldman Sachs agrees.

🔴The LSE found £27bn lost in exports in just two years.

🔴The OBR says trade is down 15%.

🔴🔴🔴Labour has lost its values and delivers neoliberal nightmare.

Do you think the BBC's coverage of Israel's activities in Gaza & the West Bank has ever reached the level of impartialty required by the charter it operates under?

Please RT after voting - thank you.

@jrf_uk It is astonishing that the government is not factoring in the consequences of such high levels of poverty on other public services. Worse health, lower educational attainment, fewer job skills etc . All cost more in the long run

OK get away. Just ask a neighbouring state school for advice on cutting costs

@JSHeappey so what are you saying?

Good stuff . Don’t miss this and retweet it to annoy Elon the censor

Alternative interpretation. English businesses worst at making use of talent

@royalsociety @OECDEduSkills @AtheneDonald @SchleicherOECD @anna_dawe @DavidR0bins0n @educationgovuk Lots of audience interest in the finding that English adults have the highest levels of 'overqualification' for the roles they undertake - why might that be?

I have just tried to reply to a post about murdered Israeli children Oct 7. I did not deny it was awful but pointed out far more equally lovely Palestinian children had been killed by Israel .
This was blocked ,an act of censorship

Buy European.

You don’t have to use these tropes just because you’re interviewing a National Trust person. Climate change isn’t simply a culture wars issue, nor is it ‘woke to talk about greening.’ Please BBC, do better.

“The effects of the family farm tax means we will lose the farm. We are the smallest farm locally. But we have an inheritance tax liability of £600,000. That’s unsustainable for us.”

I am angry about the failure to compensate waspi women. I am a similar age. I was told I would be given a job if I had been a man. Had to give up work as it was before maternity leave. Refused to join pension scheme as I worked part time. Thus poor pension
