@Jeremy_Hunt @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @thetimes If you want support from the masses then give details of the change in pension if it was a double lock, omitting the 2.5% clause.

🧵🇺🇦 NATO is not in the habit of saying useful things directly. It wrote a declaration instead.

At the Ankara summit, the alliance rolled out a massive tech plan. They didn't call it Ukraine's daily reality. They just described it and signed it. 1/🧵

Number of appearances on BBC Question Time by Nigel Farage =38

Number of appearances on BBC Question Time by Carole Cadwalldr who has spent years trying to expose foreign interference in UK politics =0

But yeah, the ‘establishment’ is against man of the people, Nigel.

Cioè, mettetevi nei panni della delegazione belga alla riunione NATO. Come faranno a rimanere seri?

@AlphaAligator @AndrewPRLevi What are you talking about? Of course it matters whether it’s before or after the enquiry. Before: his guilt or otherwise is speculation. After: he has been judged (whether or not you like the process) and the facts will be available to the electorate.

@IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage Costing the tax payer £250,000. If some other politician did this you’d be up in arms. The only reason he’s done this is to suspend the parliamentary investogation

According to Companies House Nigel Farage become Director and Owner in 2019 with 53 % of Shares #ReformUK
He didn't relinquish his ownership until FEBRUARY 2025 and remained director
SO how DARE Farage and #reformparty_uk say he was not involved in "politics"
Its a LOAD OF OLD RUBBISH !!!

Trump shows once again: corruption stops at nothing—not even football.
US star Balogun receives a clear red card—Trump simply calls FIFA boss Infantino, and suddenly the suspension is gone. The player is allowed to take the field in the Round of 16 match against Belgium.

Fair play? Nowhere to be found.

In Trump’s world, it’s all about power, corruption, lies, and blackmail—and FIFA’s own rulebook gets bent to suit that agenda.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Remember when Farage made fun of Starmer’s glasses?

Pulling out a pair himself, he joked:

“Do you like them? Very expensive, but guess what, I bought them myself, how about that?”

He’s not laughing now.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Andy Burnham is now taking a few questions, albeit in highly controlled circumstances. He’s coming across as a bit Forrest Gump: well-meaning, naïve, uninformed.
So let’s get real. Here’s a proper question about a huge issue.
There are almost 11m people of working age in the UK who are economically inactive.
Yet Skills England reports that construction is short of 1m workers to meet the current infrastructure and housing targets — and that’s before you include Mr Burnham’s plans for a massive council house building programme.
It’s a clear sign of a labour market — skills shortage AND huge inactive labour pool — not functioning properly.
It needs to be put right before we have any chance of decent growth.
So, Mr Burnham, what would you do to put it right?

[Peter Christie @PeterChristie53]

@PeterStefanovi2 How about he tells us what he would have done in Starmer’s place, that he is so much better at. Otherwise, he’s going to come to power without producing anything that he can be tested on.

[Ruth Davidson @RuthDavidsonPC]

I took ages to work out why Farage didn't declare the £5million late, once the standards inquiry started. It's public anyway.

But if he cedes the principle, he'd have to declare ALL donations for the 12 months before the GE. And perhaps there's so much more we DON'T know about.

[Peter Christie @PeterChristie53]

@RpsAgainstTrump I get a sinking feeling every time I hear Trump has been talking to Putin.

[Peter Christie @PeterChristie53]

@MarioNawfal How nice for Putin that he has you as a spokesman to argue that Ukraine should stop attacking Russia and surrender.

[Peter Christie @PeterChristie53]

@RyanShorthouse @andyburnham Please explain why cutting the triple lock is “entirely justifiable?

[Susan Press @susanp_80]

Tired of idiots who pile on pensioners and say scrapping winter fuel allowance and triple lock OK. Think it’s pretty clear wasn’t case. Had Rachel Reeves not done it quite likely PM still be in Number 10 for three years - not weeks . We worked all our lives quit demonising

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

I get the decision but isn’t this a bit like the Health Secretary announcing that they’ll no longer be using the NHS because waiting lists are too long?

[Sarah @timetoshine1234]

@theipaper Not the north too?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform.

2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us.

3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian

5) But Facebook is ok? Really?
