The Optics of using the Gov'ts biggest jet.

For a 38 minute flight from Glasgow to Manchester No10.

Are just terrible.

Burnham has less political Nouse, than Starmer.

What a pillock.

[John Ganges @dunstablian]

300 Civil Servants to be paid to move to Manchester to an office block just around the corner from Burnham's old office, No 10 of the North. What the hell is this? Its going to cost us all £millions despite having no money for our defence, whilst Iran is threatening to attack us LUNACY,

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

A waste of taxpayers money on this glorified gimmick.

[Simon Pratt @BritePrint]

@LukePollard What a complete and utter waste of time and money. It’s as if they’re trying to copy what happens in the EU once a month. 😩

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Excellent.. then obviously, Ms Jamil will no longer wish to grace us with her graceless presence.

The former Southern Water chief executive, Matthew Wright, has been charged alongside Philip Barker, Clive Massey and Mark Gregory over an alleged scheme to manipulate water quality tests to avoid £45 million in penalties.

If convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison.

A man won £1.7 MILLION playing blackjack online at 1am. The casino called the next morning to congratulate him. Then called back two days later to say there was a software glitch and they were keeping the money. They offered him £60,000 to stay quiet and sign a document promising never to talk about it. He said no.

– Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England.

– Just after midnight on January 26 2018 he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven.

– He played for five and a half hours straight.

– When he finally stopped the screen showed £1,722,500.24 in winnings.

– He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection.

– He went out that night and celebrated with his family. Spent £2,500 on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head.

– Monday morning he called back. They said the win was so large it needed to be sent to the game provider Playtech for verification. Standard procedure they said.

– Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid.

– Their offer was £60,000 but on one condition. He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened.

– He said no.

– He sued and the case went to the High Court in London.

– The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment.

– Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full £1.7 MILLION plus interest.

– Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally."

– Betfred apologised for the delay.

– They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the £60,000.

A man won £1.7 MILLION at 1am, spent £2,500 celebrating before the money arrived, then spent three years in court to collect what was already his.

Ex-Southern Water boss among four charged over alleged plan to manipulate water tests and avoid paying penalties.

Southern Water separately been charged with dozens of offences.

No water company is pristine. They all need to be scrutinized.

How come this Government keep saying how the Triple Lock Pension is unsustainable but never ever speak about the Public Sector Pension be unsustainable?

Public Sector Pensions costs this country an absolute fortune but it’s all kept very hush hush.

[Rt Hon Nigel Evans @nigelmp]

Without Brexit Andy Burnham could not have unilaterally decided to remove vat from electricity bills! The EU could have blocked it! #brexitdividend

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

BREAK: Andy Burnham is removing VAT from electricity bills from October 1, funded by cancelling the Digital ID programme (£1.8bn)

It's expected to take around £45 off the average bill

His first policy announcement, focused on the cost of living

[Simon Pratt @BritePrint]

@BethRigby While this move will be welcomed, I think scrapping the standing charge would have been more popular, and useful.

[Andy on X 🎸✈️🇬🇧 @andyw8924]

Burnham should increase basic personal allowance from £12,570 to £15,000. The cost of around £19bn can easily be met by : -
Scrapping the net zero nonsense,
Scrapping the Chagos absurdity,
Forgetting the increase to international aid,
Stopping the import of scrounging migrants.

🚨BREAKING: David Lammy has taken legal action to BLOCK the publication of crime rates by foreign migrants across England and Wales

We all know why
The public would be furious if they knew the truth
Huge coverup

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

I honestly believe that if there was a referendum on scrapping foreign aid payments, it would get a majority in favour of stopping it.
People want Brits put first.

So why would @andyburnham increase it?

What sort of representation is that?

[Hannah @ehannah0]

The UK is currently in just under £3 trillion debt.

Until that debt is lowered, foreign aid should be scrapped, not increased like Andy Burnham plans to do.
