@Socialist_Crow Oh fuck off, Natasha. She pays about £60k a year in tax. An average UK salary of £35k will pay c. £6k in taxes. So she earns 4.2x as much but pays 10x the tax. UK is fucked if we ‘shafting’ successful women. Many benefits should be means tested, childcare isn’t one of them.
Fucking hell #America, wake-up. How can a country of such vast wealth be so stupid? @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk are dangerous, they lie and stifle the truth. Trump claims to be leading the party of law and order yet he’s a convicted felon, a rapist, and racist. #USElections
It’s been a terrible week (if not a decade) for our country with hate, fuelled by misinformation, whipped up by politicians, popular figures, and the media.
If the men’s and women’s game are so different why can men manage in the women’s game but not women in the men’s game? It should not even be a question, it should be the best person for the job, regardless of gender.
Gareth Southgate has resigned as England manager, saying 'it's time for change & for a new chapter.' The FA's chief executive has previously said that a woman could replace Southgate as the next England men's manager.
Is it time that a woman takes over the men's national team?
@GMB Would this even be a question if it was about a man taking over the women’s team - no. So why is it a question the other way round. No job in 2024 should be gendered.
@GMB It’s 2024, whether a woman should replace a man in ANY job should not be a question. It should be the most suitably qualified and experienced person and gender shouldn’t even come into it. It’s just misogynistic to think otherwise.
The Secret Service are putting their bodies between the gunman and @realDonaldTrump and he’s standing there with his fist in the air shouting ‘fight’ like a fucking idiot. He could not care less about the life of anyone other than himself. #TrumpAssasinationAttempt
@England have been poor but lucky all tournament. We were poor tonight and our luck ran out. We didn’t play to any of our players strength all tournament - too defensive and negative with a team full of attacking talent #euros2024
As a traditional Tory voter, it feels odd to say that I woke up this morning full of hope and optimism for the new @UKLabour government. @Conservatives took the electorate for granted & lost my vote along with many others. Listen to this classy speech from @Jeremy_Hunt#election
Jeremy Hunt, "Some Conservatives will wonder whether the scale of our crushing defeat is really justified, but when you lose the trust of the electorate, all that matters is to have the courage and humility to ask yourself why"
"Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are decent people.. I hope they use their majority to make much needed reforms to the NHS in the way that is difficult for the Conservative governments to do"
@elonmusk@CNN As a Brit watching it was awful. There was zero fact check of claims the candidates were making meaning they could openly lie. The public need the media to do their job so we can trust what’s being presented.
Jesus Christ if people think that the leaders of the UKs two major parties are bad, watch the #PresidentialDebate2024. Surely @realDonaldTrump and @JoeBiden can’t be the best the US has to offer.
@GMB No party can 100% guarantee anything because there are too many uncontrollable variables. A manifesto outlines intended policies. If things improve, more policies may get added, if things worsen, policies will change. That’s why you elect an MP to represent you.
