@MatthewStadlen This is sarcasm right? Just in this screwed up world it’s difficult to tell these days !!

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

@libdemdaisy Whether you believe Trump’s actions are idiotic or not, please explain why they are predicted to affect the UK more than the rest of the G7? Economic growth and Labour have NEVER been bedfellows

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

@BeckerBoxing Absolute rubbish! There are DEI appointments that rightfully rankle but Ade is an excellent presenter and thoroughly deserves it. No idea why you’re upset unless it’s a “race thing”

[Loughborough Students RFC @LboroRugby]

SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENTS ‼️‼️

@jonburkeUK Oh dear. Ever heard of the NSTA? #RealFacts

@lisanandy The self awareness of MPs never ceases to amaze me!

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

@David__Osland That’s a ridiculous take. You might as well ask what’s the name for the 20% tax on working class kids using credit cards compared with those fortunate to be given a help by their parents !

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

And people elected these clowns!!!???
Granted the choice wasn’t great but even so!!! Absolute morons!

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

I kid you not. Rachel Reeves praises Canada and Norway for INCREASING their production of oil and gas.

So while the Labour Party proudly ban new oil and gas production in the UK, they openly support it in other countries.

You literally couldn't make it up.
This is INSANE!

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

Labour increased employers’ NIC and minimum wage for under 21s and then wonder why fewer are taken on?
Absolute gaslighting morons!

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This Labour Government is cleaning up the mess the Conservatives left and is getting young people back into jobs and apprenticeships.

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

And what do you ride around in, you hypocritical prat !!

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Children hit by an SUV when walking and cycling have a 77% higher chance of being killed than when hit by a smaller passenger car.

That rises to 209% more chance of being killed by an SUV for kids under the age of nine.

That's why I've asked @TfL to do more research on the growing impact of supersized SUVs in our city.

TEAM ANNOUNCEMENTS 📣⭐️

3 teams out tomorrow with our 5s hosting Oxford Brookes in the afternoon...and the BSR boys take on Swansea in the last league game of the season so make sure you get down to the crumb at 7pm to get behind them 💪💜

My local council have cancelled an event called "Covid Day Of Reflection" later this month.

It's a shame. I was looking forward to "reflecting" on the fact that covid could kill you if you stood up to walk to the toilets in a pub without wearing a mask but not if you were sat down eating a pie. And of course you had to be out of the pub by 10pm because covid knew the time and would kill you if you were still supping up your last drops of beer at 10.01pm.

I was looking forward to "reflecting" on the fact that at one point people who worked in Tesco didn't have to wear a mask at work but if they popped into Aldi on the way home covid would INSTANTLY know they were in a different supermarket and kill them. (And vice versa for all supermarket staff).

I was hoping to reflect that families from different households were allowed to sit in groups of 8 in a pub garden but not in any of their own gardens.

That 30 people who worked closely together in an office all day weren't allowed to invite each other into their own homes for even a minute.

That loved ones were barred from attending funerals.

That anyone who'd had covid and died of ANYTHING (car crash/drowned/fell off a roof/eaten by a lion etc), within 90 days was a recorded as a "covid death".

That children's playparks were apparently covid killing grounds and posed a imminent threat to life if ANYONE dared to sit on a swing.

And of course I'd like to reflect on being told that I wasn't allowed to go outside for more than an hour each day because covid was out there and would kill me but I was supposed to open all my windows to let in fresh air because if I didn't then the covid in my house would also kill me.

Oh, and I'd like to reflect on being told by a security guard in Tesco that I couldn't possibly be exempt from wearing a face mask because I "walked too fast" to be exempt.

Actually, on reflection, I've done enough reflecting.

@sainsburys for the 2nd time recently, my SmartShop required a FULL trolley check. Not just 6 items - the FULL trolley. Either trust people to use the tech as intended or open more checkouts. If this happens to me again, I'll simply walk out and leave the full trolley there

[Robert Smith @RobertSSmith66]

@zarahsultana With idiotic posts like this from sitting MPs you wonder why the country is becoming more divided and divisive. Give me strength for gods sake !!
