A non-party affiliated community group that cares about Stockport. We don’t want to see it damaged by a Conservative Government, we will hold them to account.

The good people of Brighton are taking no shit from far right fuckwits. Anti-racist protestors outnumbered them, blocked their march and told them to fuck off.

That £12bn has to come from somewhere.

HMRC’s ready reckoner estimates that 1p on the basic rate of Income Tax raises about £6.9bn in 2026/27.

So if a hospitality VAT cut costs around £12bn, replacing that money through the basic rate alone would mean roughly 1.7p on Income Tax.

In plain English, that is the basic rate moving from 20% to about 22%.

That is the question too many people avoid.

If VAT is cut and prices do not fall, the consumer does not get the saving.

The operator retains more of the gross bill.

That may be margin support.

But the Treasury still loses the revenue.

So who pays?

Other taxpayers?

Other businesses?

Public services?

Borrowing?

Or a higher tax somewhere else?

There is no free £12bn.

If the sector wants support, make that case honestly.

But do not pretend the cost disappears.

@justdavenow89 This is another reason teachers are subject to so much aggression from pupils.

Elon Musk could build hospitals. He could fund schools and universities. He could help eradicate diseases.

Instead he uses his wealth to fuel hate.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

This is SO incredibly important!

Imagine the world of pain we could have avoided if this had been in place before

Please do this now - takes seconds and could change everything!

Thank you x

Nick Ferrari just told his listeners that he didn't even ask about the five million pounds bung.

What is the point of our media if they aren't even prepared to challenge these charlatans?

Put any female MP in front of Ferrari, though, and he'll lay into her relentlessly.

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

Dear @KemiBadenoch
£100 Bn general waste by the Tories.
£148 Mn owed by Michelle Mone.
£1.6 Bn stop the boats barge
£21 Bn handed to covid fraudsters
£471 Mn in total paid to destroy PPE not needed/in storage too long.
=
£123,219,000,000
What have you to say about that?

[Ginge @FiercePussyxx]

Turns out Hannah Spencer's blouse definitely isn't Gucci and didn't cost £2,000

Farage, on the other hand, definitely received 5 million and didn't declare it

34-year-old Harry Varney, a Trump supporter, has been jailed for three years after pleading guilty to violent disorder during the Southampton riots.

He has a previous conviction for domestic assault. In 2023, he physically attacked his ex-girlfriend in a hotel room on the night of his sister's wedding. He grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against a wall.

She managed to escape and ran into the corridor wearing only her underwear.

His lawyer said that he "will lose his job of ten years because of this case."

The judge said it was ironic that so many people had been identified and prosecuted because members of the crowd had recorded the disorder.

Self-professed sexist calls man who assaulted female police officer his ‘hero’.

Reform UK has a serious problem with women.

10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug.
Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it,
No me neither.

‼️BREAKING:

Reform UK announces Lee Anderson Shadow Minister for Defence (in addition to him being Chairman and Vhief Whip)

Lee’s press conference was powerful.

He said:

“I’ve been speaking to people in pubs, cafés and shops, and what they’re telling me is simple.

They want tanks.

They want aircraft carriers.

They want submarines.

They want proper defence.

And they want it paid for by cancelling net zero, foreign aid, welfare, lawyers, civil servants, tofu, cycle lanes and probably oat milk.”

When asked what his actual defence strategy was, Lee replied:

“Common sense.”

When asked what that meant, he said:

“British common sense.”

When asked again, he said:

“You lot in the media don’t like straight talking.”

And there it is.

Reform’s defence policy in full:

No detail.
No serious plan.
No defence team.
No costing.
No understanding of modern warfare.

Just Nigel shouting numbers and Lee Anderson turning national security into a pub monologue.

Same chaos. Different rosette.

Media covering Musk trillion without any real regard to broader issues of inequality, tech bro abuses of power, his extreme politics. Glad to have been in a primary school this morning where the views on Musk were a lot wiser and less flattering.

How embarrassing for all those who claimed Hannah Spencer was wearing a £1800 Gucci silk blouse. 🤣🤣🤣

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

It makes perfect sense that a pervy misogynist would idolise someone who was sent to prison after assaulting a female police officer.

He needs riots, he incites them.
He needs boat crossings, Brexit caused them.
He needs high immigration, Brexit caused that.
He needs money, he takes bribes.

Out of the 12 individuals jailed so far for the Southampton riots, eight have lengthy criminal records, including convictions for domestic abuse, assault, robbery, weapons offences, and grievous bodily harm against an 80-year-old woman.
