For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.
Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).
She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.
She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.
Horrible.

@danielsjourney1 As an independent business owner, don't complain about the state of your cities and then eat in a giant American multinational.
Please please support your independents. They're the lifeblood of your towns.
This little girl in an asylum hotel in Bristol holds a sign saying:
« Thank you for protecting us, we love you »

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.
Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.
President Zelensky: I do not understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth needs a few more kilometers. This war is not about land, but about our independence.
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.
In a world of instant gratification, particularly when it comes to sport, the drama of Test cricket is something which must be preserved at all costs. It is everything sport should be, unscripted, unpredictable, unbeatable. #ENGvIND
