I can't WAIT for Piers' response to this!!!🤣

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"Why are people listening to a has-been like @piersmorgan, who is now just a YouTuber?"

"Who is this guy?"

"What's he done?"

@_GeorgeFinch hits back at the Uncensored host's claim Nigel Farage is "dead in the water".

“We have a parliamentary democracy, where the PM is chosen by MPs.”

- Labour deputy leader Lucy Powell.

Hypocrisy. She (and many other Labour MPs) called for a general election when the Tories changed leader (and Prime Minister).

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

The idea that devolution seriously improves public services has been robustly tested in Scotland and Wales.

Perhaps why 9 out of 11 English cities rejected the idea of mayors in the 2012 referendums.

To double down on this model is a risk…

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Interested to know just WHO cares what you think?

[Daily Mail @DailyMail]

Like most people, I've been appalled by the behaviour of Harry and Meghan. But this is why I'm backing his latest move - and why it's William who must change: NADINE DORRIES https://t.co/eLidWhDtwR

[Angela Levin @angelalevin1]

Just as I think

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

If only they had some Thailand-based crypto tycoon to bankroll their lives…

[Latchford 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 💙 @where4artthow]

So Crown Estates pay 75%-85% tax

[Richard Eden @richardaeden]

Prince Harry and Meghan have laid 'a trap' for King Charles and the Government over their automatic taxpayer-funded protection:

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

For which I am sure you have adequate proof

[bob evans @thebobevans]

@MoreOrLessAMess @PBennett47 They are not hoarders, just con-artists & robbers.

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Oh, Amanda...REALLY???

[Amanda Platell @amandajplatell]

Although I am a loyal monarchist and lifelong royal watcher, I’m afraid I just do not buy the line that the royals have come clean about their finances.

[Richard Eden @richardaeden]

Blimey! Cover price of The Daily Telegraph @Telegraph has gone up by 14 per cent, to £4.
Daily Mail a bargain at only £1.30, or £1 to subscribers

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

and you have PROOF I assume?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

And now the royals are billionaires…

This is theft pure and simple.

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Unfortunately, that won't be the case!

[Paul Thomas @NeathJack1]

Fuck off with your elitist bullocks. Every single parent would like to send their kids to the best school possible but that is a privilege for only the rich.

Get rid of private schools and the state school system will improve to give all kids the level playing field you fear.

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Thanks for clearing that up Richard...I was wondering wheteher it was true or not!! There is an awful lot of Royal rubbish circulating atm!!

[Richard Eden @richardaeden]

This is a bizarre thing for an intelligent, knowledgeable reporter to say. Taylor Swift does not receive automatic police protection. Neither do Princess Anne nor Prince Edward, for example, when they're not carrying out royal engagements. Why should Harry and Meghan?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Ah yes, we should definitely go
full North Korea where the Supreme Leader makes speeches with zero follow-up questions from the media. 🙄

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

It was planning permission for a pair of security gates!

[the blue @thebluestshade]

I'm confused, Harry, Meghan and their children can't have security but someone like Pippa Middleton does? And no one is complaining about it?

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Isn't this entirely the point? It reads much the same as I said...the Government get the revenues of the Crown Estates and the King gets a calculated percentage. If you don't want to fund it just let the Royal Family keep the Crown Estate Revenue...but I bet THAT won't happen!

[Richard Palmer @RoyalReporter]

@PBennett47 Here you go. Anyone who has ever said or written that the Crown Estate profits are used to pay the Sovereign Grant is factually incorrect. Think of the funding formula as a benchmark, an alternative to the inflation rate. I’m a terrible photographer btw.

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

Call yourself a Royal Reporter...do you need to be reminded of the revenues of the Crown Estate which go directly to the Government with 10pc going back to the King for expenses and salaries etc. If you are going to report - make it the truth

[Richard Palmer @RoyalReporter]

The Royal Family has almost halved its workload but more than tripled its taxpayer funding since the Sovereign Grant was introduced in the busiest year of the late Queen’s reign in 2012. My piece for @ObserverUK

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

War is closer than any of us know...and we must be prepared so don't be foolish and as you re fully aware we won't be using the nuclear deterrent under almost any cuircumstance

[John McTernan @Johnmcternan]

Because we are a welfare state not a state at war.

But Poland does get our nuclear deterrent for free.

[PaulBennett47 @PBennett47]

As King of UK and Head of the Commonwealth he has many religions to represent so stop this pointless rhetoric
