@AmericanAir The new flight was maybe a hundred pound more if that. I have no problem paying extra if that is the ticket price…but they were trying to charge me an extra £600 for some reason!!
@AmericanAir Hey, last night your call handler tried to charge me an extra £600 to use my flight credit (my money!) on a new booking, surely this can’t be right? This is scandalous if true, this is my money in your credit form, why are you trying to penalise people for using it?
England fans who have spent the last 50 years singing about shooting German bombers and not surrendering to the IRA are now having a hissy fit over the word Malvinas scribbled on a bed sheet with felt tip pen.
Weird lot.
@WalesOnline This would prove once and for all how subdued we are as a nation if we’re forced to take a bank holiday for another country’s success. It doesn’t matter what sport it is, be it football, rugby or whatever - why on earth should we in Wales mark an England victory in this way!⚽️🏉
A lot of people maybe unaware but @CountBinface raises money for Shelter through his merchandise sales on his intergalatic website.
Nigel Farage helps himself.
Nothing says colony more than Wales having an enforced bank holiday if England win the football but are not allowed a bank holiday to celebrate St.David's Day.
This Reform MS is being paid £80k a year by the Welsh public. Absolute clown show. 🤡 Totally incompetent. Even the Llywydd was laughing at him by the end!!
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
