@AlexKane221b@JonBurrowsMLA JB is bringing focus and direction to the UUP and if you are not on the train you are left behind on the tracks. It is up to members to decide where they want to be. Will it bring electoral success? Only time will tell, but it is much better than that given by previous leaders.
@EithneGerda @BBCNolan@PaulGosling1 To sell internationally we must comply with quality and safety regulations in many different countries, the EU is no different to the others.
@AlanStout19 We need to stop eulogising the NHS, it has outlived its time. Its structures are no longer fit for purpose. We have the physical infrastructure, we have capable medical staff it is just badly managed with massive inefficiency and waste. Get professional managers to run it.
Humbling experience paying my respects to those soldiers who were brutally murdered by the IRA at Narrow Water in 1979. Terrorism in NI, republican and loyalist, was never justified and was always wrong. #remembrance
Apologies for spoiling the morning for so many on Twitter. BUT:
UK economy is now bigger than before the Covid-19 crisis. Indeed UK growth higher than Germany and France, new revisions to official data reveal.
GDP 1.8% per cent larger than final months of 2019 (ONS). Britain’s GDP reached its pre-Covid size way back in the final months of 2021.
So much for being worst performing economy in the G7, which is actually Germany, whose economy is about the same size as before the pandemic. UK has also outpaced France, post-pandemic.
UK growth still nothing to write home about. But that's true of almost every major economy post-pandemic.
As I say -- apologies. I know how much this will upset so many of you. But cheer up. The weekend beckons .
@EDiamond136 I think I have been a customer for most of those years. In changing times, it is fantastic to see how you have managed to adapt to ever moving trends and to use social media effectively. Whilst at the same time building up a loyal customer base. Keep it up!
